“Tracy Hogg has given parents a great gift—the ability to develop early insight into their child’s temperament.” When Tracy Hogg’s guide was first released, it quickly became a bestseller, empowering parents to communicate with their newborns within weeks of birth. Hogg provided a transformative understanding of baby cues, enabling parents to discern whether their child was hungry, tired, distressed, or simply needed comfort. She debunked the myth that sleepless nights are a necessity in the first year, emphasizing that a content baby can sleep through the night. Drawing from over twenty years of experience, Hogg presents accessible programs that include: • E.A.S.Y.—a method for establishing a routine of eating, playing, and sleeping that enhances family life. • S.L.O.W.—a guide to interpreting your baby’s signals to avoid miscommunication. • Identification of baby types—Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpy—and tailored interaction strategies. • Tracy’s Three Day Magic—techniques to eliminate bad habits in just three days. Hogg’s core message encourages treating babies as you wish to be treated, offering a reassuring and practical approach that promises not only a healthier, happier baby but also a more relaxed household.

Catherine Velis, una alta ejecutiva experta en ordenadores, se ve atrapada sin quererlo en la búsqueda de un legendario ajedrez que perteneció al emperador Carlomagno. El campeón soviético de este deporte, de gira por Nueva York, le advierte que corre un grave riesgo si se empeña en encontrar las piezas, pues en ellas reside la clave de una antigua fórmula ligada a la alquimia, la masonería y los poderes cósmicos. Ese mágico ajedrez, enterrado durante mil años en una abadía francesa, nos conducirá -de 1790 a 1970- por la historia de los personajes que poseyeron sus piezas y por la larga serie de crímenes que se cometieron para hacerse con ellas. Los personajes van desde Napoleón, Robespierre y Casanova, hasta Voltaire, Newton o Catalina la grande. Pero los crímenes todavía no han terminado.
