Will Navidson, un famoso fotoperiodista premiado con el Pulitzer, se traslada con su familia a una casa en el entorno rural de Virginia en un intento de salvar su matrimonio, seriamente perjudicado por sus viajes continuos y su adicción al trabajo. Además de Navidson, la familia está compuesta por la hermosa ex-modelo Karen Green y los dos hijos pequeños de ambos. Muy pronto, Will descubre que la casa presenta una anomalía arquitectónica singular: su espacio interior es ligeramente más grande que el que debería ocupar según sus dimensiones exteriores. Este es el arranque de "El expediente Navidson", un fascinante documento que narra los sucesos acaecidos en la casa de Ash Tree Lane, es decir "La casa de hojas". Will Navidson tratará de averiguar qué secreto esconde "La casa de hojas", al mismo tiempo que procurará poner a salvo a su familia. Un viaje para el que recabará la ayuda de todos los medios a su alcance, incluida la de su hermano gemelo Tom, un profesor universitario y hasta toda una expedición de espeleólogos. Mientras Will y sus seres queridos se enfrentan a los peligros de esa casa encantada, un joven tatuador de Los Ángeles, el carismático y tierno Johnny Truant, malvive y quema las noches a una velocidad vertiginosa de la mano de su inseparable escudero, Lude. Las historias de Truant y Navidson se entrelazarán gracias a un hallazgo que cambiará la vida de todos los personajes inolvidables que atraviesan esta monumental novela.

From the bestselling author of Lab Girl comes a slim, urgent missive on the defining issue of our time: here is Hope Jahren on climate change, our timeless pursuit of more, and how the same human ambition that got us here can also be our salvation. Hope Jahren is an award-winning geobiologist, a brilliant writer, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. The Story of More is her impassioned open letter to humanity as we stand at the crossroads of survival and extinction. Jahren celebrates the long history of our enterprising spirit—which has tamed wild crops, cured diseases, and sent us to the moon—but also shows how that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels. In short, highly readable chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming and automobiles—that, even as they help us, release untenable amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and shares the science-based tools that could help us fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of warming and a capsule history of human development, The Story of More illuminates the link between our consumption habits and our endangered earth. It is the essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it.
