La larga historia de amor entre Frank Lloyd Wright, una figura imposible y fascinante, y Mamah una mujer casada a quien Wright seduce, más allá de las limitaciones de lo convencional. En 1903, Edwin y Mamah Cheney encargan la construcción de su casa a Frank Lloyd Wright, un renombrado arquitecto que luego se convertiría en uno de los mayores talentos de la arquitectura contemporánea, autor de la célebre Casa de la Cascada y del Museo Guggenheim de Nueva York. Desde el principio, Mamah se siente atraída por su carisma, y también Frank parece disfrutar de su compañía. Al cabo de unos años, vuelven a encontrarse y se embarcan en un viaje que conmocionará a la sociedad de Chicago y cambiará para siempre sus vidas. A partir de una minuciosa investigación, Nancy Horan retrata los Estados Unidos de la época y la Europa de las vanguardias, la controvertida personalidad de Frank Lloyd Wright y la lucha de Mamah Cheney, una mujerobligada a elegir entre los roles de madre, esposa, amante e intelectual, que supo abrazar el feminismo y también ponerlo en tela de juicio. Amar a Frank ha sido best-seller en Estados Unidos y ha recibido las críticas más elogiosas. La crítica ha dicho... «Un drama conmovedor... Amar a Frank humaniza a sus personajes principales con tanto éxito que aquello que hace que Frank y Mamah rompan sus respectivos vínculos familiares deja de parecer un misterio... Una virtuosa narración.» The New York Time «Horan ha representado a Mamah Borthwick Cheney como el enigmático arquetipo de todas las mujeres; un símbolo de las libertades que ellas quisieran tener y, a la vez, de las consecuencias que les esperan cuando tratan de asumirlas.» The New York Times Book Review «Esta elegante primera novela de Horan narra la larga historia de amor entre Frank Lloyd Wright, una figura imposible y fascinante, y Mamah Cheney, una mujer casada a quien Wright seduce, más allá de las limitaciones de lo convencional. Una lectura absorbente y provocativa.» Scott Turow «Admiro esta novela, la adoro por muchas razones. Por su inteligencia y por el lirismo de su prosa. Por la atención a los detalles de la época. Por las proporciones épicas de esta fascinante historia de amor. Mamah Cheney ha estado en mi mente, en mi corazón y en mi alma desde que leí este libro, y dudo que me abandone.» Elizabeth Berg «Amar a Frank es una de esas novelas que te saca de tu vida. Hipnótica y fascinante, está llena de complejos personajes, profundas pasiones, descripciones sutiles de asombrosa arquitectura y, por supuesto, de todo el colorido de la apremiante vida corriente de hace ya cien años.» Lauren Belfer

The importance of molecular approaches for comparative biology and the rapid development of new molecular tools is unprecedented. The extraordinary molecular progress belies the need for understanding the development and basic biology of whole organisms. Vigorous international efforts to train the next-generation of experimental biologists must combine both levels – next generation molecular approaches and traditional organismal biology. This book provides cutting-edge chapters regarding the growing list of marine model organisms. Access to and practical advice on these model organisms have become a conditio sine qua non for a modern education of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and postdocs working on marine model systems. Model organisms are not only tools they are also bridges between fields – from behavior, development and physiology to functional genomics. Key Features Offers deep insights into cutting-edge model system science Provides in-depth overviews of all prominent marine model organisms Illustrates challenging experimental approaches to model system research Serves as a reference book also for next-generation functional genomics applications Fills an urgent need for students Related Titles Jarret, R.

From the wooden teeth of George Washington to the Bly prosthesis, popular in the 1860s and boasting easy uniform motions of the limb, to today's lifelike approximations, prosthetic devices reveal the extent to which the evolution and design of technologies of the body are intertwined with both the practical and subjective needs of human beings. The peculiar history of prosthetic devices sheds light on the relationship between technological change and the civilizing process of modernity, and analyzes the concrete materials of prosthetics which carry with them ideologies of body, ideals, body politics, and culture. Simultaneously critiquing, historicizing, and theorizing prosthetics, Artificial Parts, Practical Lives lays out a balanced and complex picture of its subject, neither vilifying nor celebrating the merger of flesh and machine.
