Sensible y esencial es una obra muy personal a través de la cual la autora explica qué es la sensibilidad de procesamiento sensorial, un rasgo de la personalidad que presenta aproximadamente una de cada cinco personas (20 por ciento de la población). Son conocidas como PAS (personas altamente sensibles), y la mayoría no lo saben, pero es un rasgo que determina todos los aspectos de su vida. La autora cuenta cómo gestiona esta condición con diversas herramientas, pero con los aceites esenciales como protagonistas. Por ello también explica cómo y por qué funciona la aromaterapia y aporta recetas fácilmente personalizables. En la primera parte del libro se explica la alta sensibilidad y la aromaterapia desde un enfoque descriptivo, con un tono sencillo y accesible pero argumentado y respaldado con las evidencias científicas actuales. La segunda parte tiene estructura de diario. En él la autora detalla circunstancias cotidianas que se derivan de la alta sensibilidad y cómo las gestiona. El objetivo es facilitar el camino del autoconocimiento a las PAS, clave para vivir la alta sensibilidad de manera más sencilla y feliz.
Con El Hombre en Busca de su Sombra, del Dr. Luis Labrada Rondón estamos ante una nueva forma de divulgar la ciencia y de dar a conocer a muchos de los involucrados en ella. Utilizando un lenguaje sencillo y cautivante, es imposible que el lector no quede atrapado en las diferentes historias que se narran en este libro. El Dr. Labrada ha creado una nueva forma de literatura basada en su capacidad descriptiva y en la profundidad de los temas que trata utilizando recursos literarios procedentes del "realismo mágico" o de la contundencia de la literatura médica clásica.

Uganda currently hosts more than 1.4 million refugees and the relationship with the host population is complex. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the interactions between refugee and host-communities by using a unique dataset and by exploring a broad range of economic outcomes – such as employment opportunities, sources of income, agriculture production, and enterprises. We use the distance between refugee and host communities to measure the degree of interaction. To deal with potential endogeneity issues, we adopt an instrumental variable approach and carry out several robustness tests. We find positive effects on individual participation in paid employment and on household wage income. Discarding the role of assistance, we suggest that these positive effects can be driven by refugees’ economic activities. However, the market creation is localized.
