¡Vamos!
A través de su amistad con jóvenes, alcaldesas, académicos, ejecutivos, artistas, gastrónomos, jefes de Estado y pequeños empresarios, Luis Alberto Moreno ilumina las paradojas de un continente donde la frustración convive con la creatividad, el patriotismo, la solidaridad y la esperanza. América Latina es un enigma. Mientras los medios publican titulares sobre protestas, crimen, desigualdad, populismo y deuda, los setecientos millones de personas que viven y trabajan en esta región afrontan una realidad infinitamente más compleja, asombrosa y —en muchas ocasiones— alentadora. Pocas figuras comprenden esta dualidad más íntimamente que Luis Alberto Moreno. Después de más de tres décadas en el centro de la actividad política, diplomática y empresarial del hemisferio sur, Moreno ofrece un valioso recorrido por unos países cuya acelerada transformación se resiste a las interpretaciones convencionales.
Epidemiology of Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Despite adults’ best preventive efforts, childhood obesity is on the rise in most areas of the world, and with it the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other formerly adult-onset conditions.

In the book’s first half, experts present a descriptive summary of youth obesity trends in ten world regions, broken down by age group, gender, socioeconomic status, and risk factors. Complementing these f...

Ideas audaces para una región más rica, más justa, más integrada en el mundo e infinitamente más feliz. América Latina es un enigma.

An Invitation to Real Analysis
An Invitation to Real Analysis is written both as a stepping stone to higher calculus and analysis courses, and as foundation for deeper reasoning in applied mathematics. This book also provides a broader foundation in real analysis than is typical for future teachers of secondary mathematics. In connection with this, within the chapters, students are pointed to numerous articles from The College Mathematics Journal and The American Mathematical Monthly. These articles are inviting in their level of exposition and their wide-ranging content. Axioms are presented with an emphasis on the distinguishing characteristics that new ones bring, culminating with the axioms that define the reals. Set ...
La década de América Latina y el Caribe
Con un particular enfoque, este libro esboza el actual panorama económico y social de América Latina y el Caribe y sus desafíos para el futuro. Luis Alberto Moreno, Presidente del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y autor de estas páginas, destaca las fortalezas de la región en un entorno externo favorable, sus mejoras sociales y el progreso de sus instituciones. Hace referencia también al largo camino que falta recorrer y a los riesgos de que, a pesar de las buenas perspectivas, las cosas no salgan como se espera si no se adoptan políticas públicas adecuadas, si se olvidan las lecciones del pasado y no se reconocen los obstáculos que impiden que el progreso con equidad llegue más rápido.

Este Libro en un enfoque diferente critica a las instituciones y gobiernos que hicieron posible que este conflicto empezara. Ademas es un sincero homenaje al valor y el sacrificio de los honorables soldados norteamericanos y mienbros de la coalicion que perdieron sus vidas; al pueblo de Iraq que sufrio las horrendas consequencias de la guerra en forma directa.

Ethics and the Endangerment of Children's Bodies
This book addresses the endangerment of children’s bodies in affluent societies. Bodily integrity is an important part of a child’s physical and mental well-being, but it can also be violated through various threats during childhood; not only affecting physical health but also causing mental damage and leading to distortions in the development of the self. The authors give an account of three areas, which present different serious dangers: (1) body and eating, (2) body and sexuality, and (3) body and violence. Through an in-depth examination of the available theoretical and empirical knowledge, as well as a thorough ethical analysis, the central injustices in the mentioned areas are identified and the agents with responsibilities towards children displayed. The authors conclude by providing invaluable insight into the necessity of an ethical basis for policies to safeguard children and their bodies.
