Paper is not a boring surface if the chicharreta, lilibela, or totoleta wait to be detached, folded and bent to reveal their tridimensional volume, their balance and dimension in space. They allow us to reflect on and understand the role they play in the artistic creation of space and shape. It’s an experience that brings us closer to the basic elements of modern art.

Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.
This book attempts to show ways to the complex world of insects, the reasons for their success, their diversity, the enormous variety of functions they fulfill in nature; their amazing strategies for living, reproducing and defending themselves in all environments, as well as their fascinating modes of communication; also explaining why some species become pests and how they can be controlled. This is probably the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on insects available in spanish. It is intended for students and university teachers and researchers of Biology, as well as other readers interested in insects out of curiosity. It includes a glossary of entomological terms, multiple illustrations and great pictures of local insects.
“Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis. Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce. A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom, nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.
We hug, kiss and cuddle when we are in love. We want to always be close to that special person and even surprise them with gifts. All these actions also take part in the animal kingdom, but not only that! Animals also present a range of endless strange behaviors that will leave you speechless: chases, choreographies and tricks are only some of the things animals do to flirt their mating partners in order to stay together. A book with a sense of humour, but with a scientific and theoretical basis, full of unusual and amusing facts that aim to arouse your curiosity through simple texts, but incorporating the terms used in this specific field, what will broaden the reader's lexicon.
When animals feel threatened, they react or adapt to the new conditions of their environment to save their life. These behaviors can be innate, genetically programmed, or learned, and answer to the way animals interact with others and with the physical environment where they live. With this book, the little readers can learn about the survival strategies that animals use to adapt themselves to difficult conditions such as weather, vegetation, natural disasters, lack of food, and predators.
Imaginería perpetua la idea del tiempo y sus palabras. Búsqueda entre los recovecos e intersticios del pasado: celosías agrietadas y hierbajos. Secuencia volátil, rabiosa, la del insecto. ¿De qué nos hablan estos poemas de Flor Bosco? Nos hablan del dios de la infancia, anomalías, gracia mística. Poemas que murmuran, sisean, ríen casi en silencio. Hablan de duelo, telas antiguas, canarios, olor a naftalina, cirio, taconcitos, pavorreales, ternura envuelta en andrajos y devota tristeza. Entre Ángeles y Moscas permanece la idea del asombro como guiño, como evidencia, universo propio: el cotidiano de la poeta. Sabemos que todo es parte de todo. Sabemos que la poesía es un texto que se teje con algunos hilos de otros textos. Sabemos que hablamos el lenguaje absoluto del balbuceo. Así que Flor Bosco también teje, también trama. Las raras criaturas, los poemas, también comen. ¿Su alimento? El Tiempo.

¿Cómo podría describirles el Hotel Hastings? Traté de comenzar por algo sencillo. Una silla —me dije—, tiene que ser fácil describir una silla. Lo primero que tuve que hacer fue ponerme de pie. Dice el budismo que el esfuerzo arruina toda naturalidad. O eso me dijo Buda mientras nos aburríamos haciendo fila. Él también parecía estar de pie, pero con Siddhartha no se puede saber muy bien nunca qué es lo que está diciendo. Tiene una bien ganada reputación de bromista pesado. Pero no nos desviemos aunque, claro, es fácil desviarse si el hotel está — ¿lo dije ya? — en una isla de existencia dudosa. No desesperen. Eso no va a ayudarles. No, al menos, para alcanzar la santidad que aquí, en una habitación cualquiera, ha iluminado a un tipo que ve crecer su cáncer con la convicción que otros dedican a espiar el movimiento de las plantas cuando no hace viento. ¿Les parece sospechoso? De seguro es solamente su miedo a parecer sospechosos. Lo repito: no se preocupen por nada. Ignoro si ser policía sea muy difícil, pero les recomiendo que mejor sean lectores. Finalmente, si les incomoda tanto que esto sea un hotel, pueden contarles a sus amigos y parientes —cuando vuelvan— que sólo estuvieron en un libro de poemas.
Ivan, a banker and frustrated musician, suddenly finds himself in the middle of a horde of angry zombies. Now his only goal is to meet his wife, but communicating with her is impossible and getting where she is is very difficult when thousands of people want to kill him and turn him into their breakfast. Virus is an urban history that deals bluntly with human nature and whose vertiginous rhythm doesn't allow the reader to take their eyes off its pages.

BASED ON A REAL STORY OF A LITTLE BOY WHO HAS TO SURVIVE AMONG A PACK OF STRAY DOGS. A STORY FULL OF POETRY THAT SHOWS HOW THE BOY FACES ABANDONMENT, LONELINESS, MISTREATMENT AND ESPECIALLY, HOW HE FACES BEASTS…EITHER ANIMAL OR HUMAN.
Did you know that the oxygen you breathe today has already passed through the lungs of Napoleon and Genghis Khan? Or that the water you just drank was acquainted with Jesus Christ’s kidneys? Or that astrology is still based on the location of celestial bodies, even though the universe is expanding? Penicillin was discovered by chance, and so was viagra. And post its only exist because of an attempt to not waste glue that turned out to be a failure (and because God is good). Newton thought that inventing calculus was important, but not as much as studying the distinguished science that was alchemy. This might just be why our brain tries so hard to fill in the blanks in our memory with false imagens and facts. Speaking of fake news, can we stop arguing over whether Columbus was Portuguese or Spanish, because the first people to arrive in America were the vikings.
Emotion, risk, pain, love, patience, heat, joy... The sensations that unexpectedly assail the open-minded traveler who travels the world off the beaten track, are the basis of these unique stories. Fantastic landscapes as a stage, and its people as actors, help the author to weave his feelings with a simple and passionate prose. True stories that will undoubtedly delight many sofa travelers, but also many action travelers.

Carlos García is told in the newspaper that his name is too common. For this reason, when he begins to write the chronicles of FC Barcelona, he signs as K. Behind the mask of the pseudonym, the student who dreamed of newsrooms engulfed in smoke and screams at closing time begins his promising career without having left university. But dreams are seldom made of real material. Between football stadiums, ballpoint pen caps and lonely hotel rooms, K. imposes on himself a happiness that he will never own. The rise and fall of a legendary team, the decrepitude of a profession that only finds refuge in the big headlines and some journalists who hide behind their screens set a chronicle of chronicles in which the final result remains to be discovered. Soccer players, journalism or K. Who will accept the final defeat?
