Un frágil tesoro: las mariposas colombianas
Colombia es uno de los países más ricos del planeta en especies de mariposas. La abundancia de publicaciones científicas sobre estos lepidópteros contrasta con la escasez de textos dirigidos al lector no especializado, de ahí que la Universidad del Rosario considerara oportuno editar este libro, profusamente ilustrado, que pone al alcance del lego el complejo mundo de estos insectos. La obra permite entender qué es una mariposa y cómo se desarrolla; por qué en Colombia son tan abundantes y variadas; por qué la ciencia se interesa en ellas y cómo las afectan las amenazas contra la biodiversidad. Al documentar la belleza, variedad e importancia de las mariposas se espera ayudar a crear una mayor conciencia de la urgencia de conservar los bosques, las cañadas y los matorrales que habitan. La Universidad quiere, además, presentar el terreno recién adquirido para su Estación Experimental de Campo José Celestino Mutis, donde, entre otras actividades, continuarán las investigaciones sobre las mariposas a cargo de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Matemáticas.
Advances in Computational Biology
This volume compiles accepted contributions for the 2nd Edition of the Colombian Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Congress CCBCOL, after a rigorous review process in which 54 papers were accepted for publication from 119 submitted contributions. Bioinformatics and Computational Biology are areas of knowledge that have emerged due to advances that have taken place in the Biological Sciences and its integration with Information Sciences. The expansion of projects involving the study of genomes has led the way in the production of vast amounts of sequence data which needs to be organized, analyzed and stored to understand phenomena associated with living organisms related to their evolution, behavior in different ecosystems, and the development of applications that can be derived from this analysis.

Colombia's Narcotics Nightmare
This history of Colombia's illegal drug trade--and of the extreme violence it created--describes how in the late 1960s narcotics traffickers from the United States convinced Colombians who had no previous involvement in the drug trade to grow marijuana for export to America. By the early '70s, foreign (mostly American) traffickers began requesting cocaine. This book focuses on the decades of crime and violence the illegal drug trade brought to Colombia and how this social upset was ended in the early 2000s. Six chapters detail the Medellin and Cali cartels' war against the Colombian government, the revolutionary guerrillas' war against the government, the war that paramilitary groups conducted against the guerrillas, and the way in which the government finally put a stop to the cartel-financed bloodshed. In conclusion, the author assesses Colombia's progress and prospects since the end of the violence claimed the lives of some 300,000 between 1975 and 2008.
