Among all the legendary Selk'nam people emerge, whose history sinks in the dawn of time. in the late 19th century the Selk'nam suffered the violent impact of colonization. In this specific case, it took on the characteristics of a terrible genocide suffered by men, women and children, when the large cattle ranchers invaded their lands with thousands and thousands of sheep. Now, at present, the Selk'nam people are carrying out a historical process of social and cultural mobilization, which corresponds to a growing role of indigenous communities, both in Chilean and Argentine society. We must banish once and for all the words extinction, extermination or disappearance from our language and instead demand that the authorities respect the rights of native peoples, their territories, their customs and their language. The Selk'nam exist and are alive.

FantasyThe spirit of water
by Rafael Rubio
The river that watered the vegetable fields has dried up, only stones are left. But the committed vegetables do not let themselves be beaten: they pull up their roots and leave in a procession in search of water. They climb hills, cross stony fields, avoid a hungry rabbit; finally they hear the voice of water and run happily to meet it... But it was not the water that spoke, but its spirit, which shows them the way to reach it. We are facing a global water crisis, which affects both wildlife and humans, including the very basis of our livelihood: everything we eat requires water. This book can help raise awareness of these issues among children, which is essential if we as, humanity, are to make the changes necessary to address this crisis. The path marked out by the spirit of water is ultimately the one that each of us must seek in our own hearts.

Children's & YAUMA AND THE WATER OF THE SEA
Story based in an ancient Aymara ritual
by Colomba Elton
Uma is an Aymara girl who lives in the high Andean zone and dreams of seeing the sea. This becomes a reality thanks to the imperative need of her community: to obtain sea water for a ritual that allows the rains to return to her village. This story allows us to understand how some people from South America, whose ancestors occupied the territory long before the current borders were established, live. It shows how some communities have a close relationship with their geography and the cycles of nature, and thank through offerings to the Pachamama or Mother Earth. This helps us to remember that we all depend on nature, but we have moved away from it. The story also speaks to us of austerity, of a simple life, in the midst of an era of extreme consumerism; a simple life, but, precisely because of this, valuable and full of meaning.

Children's & YAThe Secret of Cats
by Marcelo Simonetti
The poet was looking for a place to leave his words, A place where the wind won’t carry them away, A place where monsters won’t eat them. If the cats are lovers of the moon, the night and roofs, they would know how to appreciate a verse, the poet thought. And almost whispering he told them: “This is how happiness was like: brief as the dream of a felt acacia, or the dance of the crazy single woman in front of a broken mirror”. This book talks about the importance that poetry has in our lives and, at the same time, it is also a tribute to these small furry creatures with whiskers that love purring as if they were true poets.

Science & MathematicsDel gusano cósmico al cerebro del pulpo
Ensayos sobre ciencia
by Juan Carlos Fontecilla Camps
Este libro describe una historia que comenzó hace unos 200 mil años, con la aparición de la especie humana probablemente en el cuerno de África. El mundo era un lugar lleno de incógnitas a las que, con el paso de los milenios, hemos procurado responder en el largo camino que lleva del mito a la ciencia. Nuestra curiosidad e inteligencia nos ha permitido descifrar, en gran medida, los misterios del universo, de la vida y de nosotros mismos. Hemos aprendido que, tras la aparente constancia y lógica del mundo en que vivimos, se esconden leyes físicas que rigen lo enormemente pequeño y lo inconmensurablemente grande. Sabemos también que la vida necesitó condiciones muy especiales para surgir y que su evolución no ha ocurrido de manera lineal ni estable; nuestra propia evolución es el fruto de múltiples cruzamientos entre diferentes grupos humanos hace cientos de miles de años. Solo somos la rama sobreviviente de un árbol muy frondoso. Los quince ensayos aquí contenidos abarcan temas que nos han fascinado desde hace mucho tiempo, como son el origen de la vida en la Tierra, la evolución biológica, la situación de nuestro planeta en el espacio, la microbiota, la inteligencia animal, la naturaleza de los virus, y también la teoría de la relatividad y los agujeros (hoyos) negros. Si bien son escritos con un estilo científico, estos ensayos están destinados a todo tipo de lector cuyo interés sea profundizar su comprensión de la realidad y de las curiosidades del mundo en que vivimos. Si no lo sabía ya, el lector verá que no ha sido fácil alcanzar la comprensión de la realidad de la que disponemos hoy. Históricamente, las instituciones humanas tienen tendencia a dar explicaciones de lo que no entienden aún y a preservarlas; mientras que la ciencia, por definición, es iconoclasta e innovadora.
