Lo esencial no puede ser invisible a los ojos
El propósito central de este libro es hacer énfasis en que el debate sobre la pobreza en América Latina, en particular en la niñez y adolescencia, debe ser parte de las discusiones que se están dando a nivel global con respecto a la justicia, la libertad, la ciudadanía, la identidad, la participación, y la paz. Asimismo, busca dar impulso a los esfuerzos en nuestra región por generar un pensamiento propio, que se fundamente en la capacidad de resistencia y de generación de alternativas de la población sin que se limite a las visiones y prácticas tradicionales de fomentar e implementar políticas sociales.

Jungle Laboratories
In the 1940s chemists discovered that barbasco, a wild yam indigenous to Mexico, could be used to mass-produce synthetic steroid hormones. Barbasco spurred the development of new drugs, including cortisone and the first viable oral contraceptives, and positioned Mexico as a major player in the global pharmaceutical industry. Yet few people today are aware of Mexico’s role in achieving these advances in modern medicine. In Jungle Laboratories, Gabriela Soto Laveaga reconstructs the story of how rural yam pickers, international pharmaceutical companies, and the Mexican state collaborated and collided over the barbasco. By so doing, she sheds important light on a crucial period in Mexican his...
Intercambio de saberes entre América y Europa. Siglos XVII-XIX
El cultivo de la ciencia entre los siglos XVII y XIX se dio a los dos lados del Atlántico, con lo que se creó un intercambio de espacios culturales. La generación y apropiación de conocimientos, en particular en el campo de las ciencias de la salud, la medicina, la cirugía, la botánica, la farmacia y la química, requirieron de figuras epistémicas, de instituciones, expediciones, cátedras, asociaciones, publicaciones y otras estrategias que permitieran una interacción de saberes. Interacción con altas y bajas según los diferentes contextos que quedaron enmarcados en los siglos señalados, entre ellos los movimientos culturales, como la filosofía ilustrada o las reformas educativa...
Confusion de Confusiones [1688]
This book is the first that describes the practices of any stock exchange; it makes evident a high development of practices, with puts, calls, pools, and manipulations; and it appeared as early as the seventeenth century. Not inappropriately the stock exchange described is that of Amsterdam, a city which at the date of the volume’s publication —1688 — was still the leading financial center of the world. The book, to be sure, is hardly a systematic account of the institution; the author pursued moral, philosophical, and rhetorical objectives, and, while saying a lot that seems now to be of little value, manages somehow to leave unsaid a great deal that would be of interest for us. Nevertheless, it represents, even in its peculiar form, a really important source of information about the stock exchange, and indeed about the Dutch business world of that period.
News from the Empire
If there was not so much fiction in News from the Empire, it could be called a work of history. In fact, the focus of this broad work is history itself, as well as the many unrecorded lives and events that history has forgotten from this strange era in Mexico's early nationhood. Using Emperor Maximilian and his wife, Carlota, as a starting point, Fernando Del Paso both considers what Mexico is and the country's place in the larger narrative of world history. The book spans the palaces of Europe and the villages of Mexico, yet despite its broad focus News is a book rich in characters and details, a work that opens up this era of Mexican history to readers without specialized knowledge. Maximi...
