Adam's Chair is a narrative of one day in 1981 in Waltham Massachusetts. The shuttle, Columbia, orbits above. An elderly French Canadian escapes his sleeping wife and makes his way to Mt. Feake Cemetery before dawn, whose neighborhoods reflect the city's own, its waves of immigration. Priscilla, a home health aide, college dropout, and socialist since she turned sixteen, rides her bicycle to work at dawn. She gives baths, gives an English lesson, and reflects on the city whose founders included her ancestors, on her divorce, a hickey on her daughter's neck... The mayor visits The Sunshine Club. The shuttle sends down messages...---"...shakes up any conceived notion of what a contemporary work should be... challenging me to step outside of my comfort zone...

Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award "...De la Cuesta's novel maintains an accumulating power which holds onto a reader's attention not only through the forceful figure of Ord ez, but by demonstrating acutely how ordinary lives are impacted by the underlying social and political landscape. Compelling reading."--Tom Tolnay, publisher, Birch Brook Press and author of Selling America and This Is the Forest Primeval "Barbara de la Cuesta's The Spanish Teacher has everything to thrill you--pace, a great balance of description, gesture and action, charmed, perfectly-tuned dialogue, and most notably, a character we follow as closely and sympathetically as if we were living right there inside the story with him... So many books show us a character who seems to capably hang and move like marionettes from the strings of a fairly competent puppeteer, but rarely do we see a full drama like this, where every bit of the writing extends from, grows out of, is part and parcel with the author's complete realization of and connection to her character..."--Don Berger, judge for the Gival Press Novel Award

Desde que Charles Darwin enunciara su teor a de la evoluci n han sido numerosas las cuestiones que han debido responderse. Sin duda la principal sea la de dar con los distintos eslabones que conforman las diferentes l neas evolutivas. El hecho de ser incapaz de poder dar con ellos llev a Darwin a renegar de su propia teor a, hacia el final de su vida. En este apasionante libro, la ge loga y paleont loga por la Universidad inglesa de Bristol (con varios premios internacionales en su haber, destacando el de la prestigiosa Society of Vertebrate Paleontology de Norteam rica), la doctora B rbara S nchez Hern ndez, nos mostrar las distintas corrientes cient ficas y teor as que se han sucedido a lo largo de la historia respondiendo a la cuesti n de la evoluci n y de los f siles y, por primera vez, mostrar c mo reconocer los diversos eslabones evolutivos que se agolpan en nuestros museos y estratos geol gicos. Es sin duda una obra indispensable que, mediante un lenguaje ameno, bien documentado y acompa ado de figuras ilustrativas, supondr toda una revoluci n en el mbito de las Ciencias Naturales, dando el respaldarazo definitivo al darwinismo y neodarwinismo.
