This eye-opening book delves into the subtle art of "uncommunication," revealing the vital life skills needed to succeed in the world by not always saying what you mean.

@MagnificentZio @DPJHodges In many respects it functions as a museum of plants. Another good book to read is 50 Plants That Changed The Course of History - that sets them in the context of politics, economics and indeed conflict.      fuente

Espía y traidor
La mayor historia de espionaje de la Guerra Fría (Tiempo de Historia)
Ben MacIntyre - 2018-09-18
Calificación de Goodreads
Esta es la historia, por primera vez contada en toda su verdad, de Oleg Gordievski, que llegó a ser un alto mando de la KGB soviética a la vez que actuaba como informador del MI6 británico: el hombre que con sus advertencias a los gobiernos británico y norteamericano consiguió evitar que en 1985 se desencadenase un holocausto atómico y ayudó a acelerar el fin de la Guerra Fría. Ben Macintyre, maestro de la literatura de espionaje, consigue en esta ocasión, gracias a disponer de una información privilegiada, ofrecernos una imagen real de la actuación de los servicios secretos durante la Guerra Fría. Pero su libro es también la historia de un hombre que vivió en un constante riesgo de muerte y tuvo que tomar las decisiones más difíciles; un hombre cuyo odio por el comunismo tuvo el poder de cambiar el futuro de las naciones para protagonizar una historia con la que Macintyre consigue emocionarnos.
