Una vez más Germán Darío Cardozo Galeano nos sorprende con esta obra La otra cara del crimen en la que cada vez más va perfilando su vena artística y literaria. Su opción por el realismo social y crítico es evidente. El autor recrea una realidad contextual generando un cierto clima de tensión emocional que conduce a sus lectores a leer cada capítulo con mucha expectativa y en espera de cómo se desencadena la historia. Lo que más sorprende en esta obra es la manera creativa como el autor presenta un testimonio de denuncia sobre la realidad de violencia que vive el país y de manera específica, el municipio de Soacha. Bajo el pretexto de un guión cinematográfico, que un hijo cuenta a su padre, poco a poco nos introduce en un drama familiar y desde allí va plasmando la realidad de violencia que vive un sector marginal específico. Realidad que comparten no solamente las personas que viven en sectores periféricos de las grandes urbes, sino la sociedad colombiana en su totalidad.

This book examines in great detail the design and implementation of a rural development project for smallholder farmers in Paraguay. Over a period of seven years, from 2003 to 2010, the project applied the basic concepts of conservation agriculture, forestry and agroforestry bene?ting 17 thousand farm families in the Eastern Province of the country. The practices promoted closely paralleled those being recommended for sustainable crop production intensi?cation by FAO which seek to enhance agricultural productivity while protecting the natural environment and improving ecosystem services. The book gives a clear-eyed analysis of the lessons learned and the factors for success and failure and so is an invaluable resource for those contemplating similar projects in the future.

Despite extensive efforts to control it, malaria is still one of the most devastating infectious diseases worldwide. This book, now in its second edition, provides a broad and up-to-date overview of the rapidly expanding field of malaria immunology and its importance in the control of this disease. The first section deals with the malaria parasite and its interactions with both the vertebrate host and the mosquitoes which transmit the disease. In the second part, the mechanisms of immunity and their regulation by environmental and genetic factors are discussed. Finally, this volume contains several chapters on malaria vaccine development, describing the application of the most recent vaccine technologies as well as ongoing and planned vaccine trials. Authored by well-recognized experts, this volume not only demonstrates the rapid progress being made in the search for vaccines against malaria, but also broadens our understanding of immunity to infection in general. It is therefore highly recommended reading for all scientists and professionals in the fields of immunology, infection and vaccine development.
