El método sueco para una crianza serena e igualitaria: Embarazo y primeros años: lo que dice la ciencia
by Cecilia Chrapkowska Agnes WoldSueca, feminista y rigurosa, esta guía pretende desmitificar las supuestas verdades absolutas respecto al embarazo y la maternidad. ¿Cómo saber lo que es bueno para tu bebé si tu suegra, ese blog que sigues y una revista para madres primerizas ofrecen alternativas contradictorias? ¿Hasta qué punto damos por buenos falsos mitos solo porque están muy extendidos? En la era de la información puede resultar difícil discernir qué os conviene realmente a ti y a tu hijo, y lo último que necesitan unos padres primerizos es saturarse de opiniones de dudosa procedencia. Este libro llega desde la progresista Suecia, famosa por sus políticas y permisos de maternidad y paternidad igualitarios, para demostrar que muchas de las cosas que dábamos por ciertas en la crianza de los hijos no son más que puro moralismo. Partiendo de una perspectiva feminista, dos médicas especialistas de vanguardia desmontan los mitos en relación al embarazo y la crianza y los reemplazan por sólidos datos científicos. Al tiempo que devuelven el poder a las mujeres para que tomen sus propias decisiones, defienden la importancia de la crianza igualitaria y ofrecen consejos e ideas para un reparto equitativo de las tareas, lo que se traduce en un mayor bienestar para el bebé y también para los padres.
El método Tokei: Cómo poner en hora tu reloj interno para vivir con salud, energía y optimismo
by Dr. Eduard Estivill Carla EstivillCronobiología para ser feliz. Adapta tus rutinas para una vida más sana. Hace miles de años el ser humano estaba conectado de forma armónica con los ciclos naturales de la vida. Ese vínculo con los ritmos de la naturaleza procuraba a nuestros antepasados salud, energía y bienestar emocional. En la actualidad también vivimos pendientes del tiempo, pero nos hemos desconectado de su cadencia original y ya no prestamos atención a nuestros relojes internos responsables del apetito, del sueño, de la energía o de la fatiga que sentimos a lo largo del día, lo que se traduce en problemas cardiovasculares, enfermedades metabólicas como la diabetes o la obesidad, trastornos psíquicos y, en los casos más graves, una mayor incidencia de ciertos tipos de cáncer. Basado en la cronobiología, este método desarrollado por los doctores Eduard y Carla Estivill es un entrenamiento en toda regla para aprender a escuchar a nuestro cuerpo y reconectar con sus ritmos. Gracias a sus consejos sencillos y prácticos, al alcance de todo el mundo, lograremos sincronizar nuestro tokei o reloj interior para gozar de una vida plena de optimismo y salud.

Mi abuelo y el dictador
by César TejedaMi abuelo y el dictador es una triple genealogía: de la familia Tejeda, de la infamia del Señor Presidente y de una novela que se cuenta a sí misma. En 1908, el abuelo de César Tejeda, Antonio Tejeda, fue detenido por su supuesta complicidad en el intento de homicidio de Manuel Estrada Cabrera, el sanguinario y supersticioso dictador de Guatemala. Antonio fue obligado a caminar los cuarenta y cinco kilómetros que separan a La Antigua de la Ciudad de Guatemala, custodiado por un pelotón a caballo. Durante todo el trayecto, fueron seguidos por una mujer con un bebé en brazos: era Victoria Fonseca, la esposa de Antonio, y en los pañales del bebé llevaba escondido un revólver. César Tejeda ha escuchado esta anécdota durante toda su vida y sabe que su vida está cifrada en ella. Se la han contado como un ejemplo de valentía, por parte de su abuela remota, sin embargo, hay algo en el recuerdo de ese episodio que le parece injusto. Al querer desentrañar ese misterio, modesto o fantasmal, César Tejeda se verá obligado a convertirse en historiador de su desconcierto y novelista de un país tiranizado.

Ludovica volvió casi un año después siendo otra, decidida a transmitir con pasión y poesía la milenaria cultura china a sus lectores.

The Microbiology Laboratory: An Introduction to Clinical Microbiology Concepts AND Techniques
by Margaret WareThe goal of this text is to instill a basic curiosity about and respect for microorganisms as students prepare for their future health care professions. The Microbiology Laboratory: An Introduction to Clinical Microbiology Concepts and Techniques promotes the understanding of how microorganisms live and spread, as well as how to deter their presence when needed. This text stresses the importance of constant vigilance in both quality control and infection control practices. Using simulated patient cases, the text introduces identification techniques as well as the importance of effective communication in quality patient care. Experiments utilize demonstration, critical thinking, and discovery to clarify and solidify important concepts regarding microbial life while remaining directly applicable to challenges encountered daily. In addition to the more traditional activities, several exercises draw directly from student discussion of current events to utilize hands on exploration of relevant questions. The introduction to each lab exercise provides background information to help solidify the “why” behind the many details found in best practices required of health care professionals. The knowledge and experiences gained through these lab activities contribute to an early development of vigilant microbial control practices as a lifelong habit. This text requires little previous science background and assumes only basic math skills. Exercises do not require a large investment in equipment, utilizing hands-on experiences over automated alternatives, making it suitable for a wide variety of instructional situations.
