by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas
On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one. This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food requirements, transgenic crops have the possibility to carry edible vaccines and therapeutic proteins, to help combat human disease and malnutrition. This book reviews the importance and safety of transgenic vegetable crops and covers a wide variety of crops and different technologies. It includes: Genetic engineering in tomato, eggplant, peppers, amaranth, cauliflower, carrot, cucurbits, potato, tropical tubers and melons. Transgenic resistance to viral diseases. Embryogenic cell suspension culture. Genome editing and CRISPR/Cas9. Molecular techniques for biofortification. RNAi strategies for vegetable crop improvement. Designing futuristic vegetable crop varieties. This book is suitable for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology as well as practitioners in vegetable breeding and seed production.

Requiem for the Roses
by Alejandra Ángeles
Five young women - Alicia, Paula, Alondra, Constanza, and Marcela, are all cello students at the National Music Conservatory. They will run into a profesor who is obssessed with roses and young women, as much as he is obsessed with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which becomes the central leitmotif of Requien for the Roses, and the only common denominator between the women. Their five voices, and the voice of the professor, tell the story in a rhythm that closely follows Vivaldi’s score: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter are each one divided into three movements. The story follows the music. The novel is centered on the disappearance of three of the women – Alicia, Paula, and Alondra. Each one of them is a season: Alicia is Spring, Paula is Summer, and Alondra is Fall. Constanza, who is Winter, may or may not suffer the same destiny as their three predecessors. It may be up to her, or it may be up to the reader. While the destinies of Alicia, Paula, and Alondra has already been determined by their captor, and that of Constanza is up for grabs, Marcela, the fifth woman, search for answers as Alicia was her best friend. She immediately sets her eyes on the cello professor and his strange hobbies and habits.
