La montaña en el mar de Ray Nayler es un debut literario deslumbrante y una reflexión excepcional sobre la naturaleza de la consciencia y sobre los claroscuros de sus consecuencias. ¿Y si una nueva especie de pulpos hiperinteligentes tuviera la clave para el futuro de la humanidad? Empiezan a difundirse rumores sobre una especie de pulpos peligrosa y extraordinariamente inteligente que podría haber desarrollado un lenguaje y una cultura propios. Ha Nguyen, una bióloga marina que ha dedicado la vida a investigar el cerebro de los cefalópodos, hará lo posible para estudiarlos. DIANIMA, una empresa tecnológica internacional, se ha aislado en el remoto archipiélago de Con Dao, en Vietnam, donde los pulpos han sido avistados. La doctora Nguyen viaja a las islas para unirse al equipo de investigación formado por una agente de seguridad llena de cicatrices de guerra y el primer androide de la historia. Los pulpos son la clave para realizar descubrimientos sin precedentes sobre la inteligencia animal. Pero hay mucho en juego: quien consiga aprovecharse de dichos hallazgos logrará una gran fortuna. Así pues, mientras la doctora Nguyen intenta comunicarse con la especie recién descubierta, entra en escena una facción más importante que DIANIMA para apoderarse de los pulpos. Sin embargo, nadie les ha preguntado a estas criaturas marinas qué opinan. Ni qué piensan hacer al respecto. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WINNER OF 2023 LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL FINALIST FOR THE NEBULA AWARD, and THE LOS ANGELES TIMES RAY BRADBURY PRIZE "The Mountain in the Sea is a wildly original, gorgeously written, unputdownable gem of a novel. Ray Nayler is one of the most exciting new voices I've read in years." ―Blake Crouch, author of Upgrade and Dark MatterHumankind discovers intelligent life in an octopus species with its own language and culture, and sets off a high-stakes global competition to dominate the future. The transnational tech corporation DIANIMA has sealed off the remote Con Dao Archipelago, where a species of octopus has been discovered that may have developed its own language and culture. The marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen, who has spent her life researching cephalopod intelligence, will do anything for the chance to study them. She travels to the islands to join DIANIMA's team: a battle-scarred security agent and the world's first (and possibly last) android. The octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extra-human intelligence. As Dr. Nguyen struggles to communicate with the newly discovered species, forces larger than DIANIMA close in to seize the octopuses for themselves. But no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. Or what they might do about it. A near-future thriller, a meditation on the nature of consciousness, and an eco-logical call to arms, Ray Nayler's dazzling literary debut The Mountain in the Sea is a mind-blowing dive into the treasure and wreckage of humankind's legacy.

fair narrative, has good information
Format: Kindle
Sparta is somewhat of a mystery. This book provides the reader with basic historical data, yet it lacks deeper detail. Sparta deserves more

...interesting ...
Format: Kindle
Impressive research - resulting in an interesting read.
Can tend towards overboard descriptions when a more concise format would be appreciated by the reader.
The formatting could be better with regards to headings and appropriate spacing.
Lots of detail to get through.

Sparta the Greek warrior city state
Format: Paperback
In ancient Greece there was no equal to the military skills of the army of Sparta. They started training young men at the age of seven with exercises that made their weapons an extension of their body. This let them weild weapons with more precision than their enemies. This is just one of the fun facts found in this book about Sparta. As with many nations which put their focus on the strength of the military forces Sparta was constantly at war. They were suspicious of the motives of other city states and often attacked before they could be attacked. We can learn much by learning of the Greeks and their relationships with each other, their alliance systems and their causes of wars. Comparing national alliance systems and causes of wars today with those of the Greeks we can learn many lessons. We can see things they could have done to prevent the carnage and and use it to our advantage. This book also gives a glimpse into the living conditions of Sparta. It explains the social structure and the government structure of Sparta. It tells of the role of women in the Spartan culture. Many times we use the term Spartan to describe a minimalist life style. This book describes the living conditions of the Spartans showing where that term originated. All of the above and much more is well described in this book about the ancient city of Sparta. As a former history teacher I highly recommended this book to everyone. This should be available to all. It is a must read
