Se si sogna insieme, e la realta che comincia.Proverbio

Entre la exitosa 4.ª edición de Vacuna a Vacuna, publicada en 2019, y esta 5.ª que tiene ahora en sus manos, el mundo ha vivido un acontecimiento que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la salud publica: la pandemia de COVID-19. Este hito global no solo acelero el desarrollo de vacunas en tiempo record, sino que tambien supuso la incorporacion de nuevas tecnologias como el ARN mensajero y, mas recientemente, la inmunizacion pasiva mediante anticuerpos monoclonales, que tambien encuentran su lugar en esta edicion por su creciente relevancia en la prevencion de enfermedades infecciosas.Esta nueva edicion, completamente revisada y actualizada, conserva el enfoque divulgativo, riguroso y didactico que ha caracterizado a la obra desde su origen. Se abordan los retos actuales de la era de la informacion y la desinformacion, se repasa la historia de las vacunas, se explican sus fundamentos inmunologicos de forma accesible y se amplian los contenidos generales sobre vacunologia, incluyendo aspectos clave como la seguridad vacunal, los calendarios y el acto clinico de vacunar.La seccion central del libro ha sido renovada y ampliada con mas de 40 enfermedades inmunoprevenibles, incluyendo no solo aquellas ya consolidadas en los programas de vacunacion sistematica, sino tambien nuevas incorporaciones como el SARS-CoV-2, la viruela del mono, el dengue, la malaria, el chikunguña y el virus respiratorio sincitial (VRS), reflejando asi los cambios en el panorama epidemiologico global.Tambien se actualizan los capitulos sobre vacunacion en condiciones de riesgo y vacunologia social, y se suman contenidos ineditos dedicados al enfoque One Health y al papel clave de las vacunas en la reduccion de resistencias a los antimicrobianos.

Catastrophic events expose the vulnerabilities of human societies while revealing capacities for resilience, adaptation, and institutional transformation. This comprehensive examination analyzes major disasters across historyfrom volcanic eruptions and earthquakes through plague pandemics and famines to industrial accidents and environmental collapseexploring not just their immediate devastation but their long-term social, economic, and political consequences.Drawing on archaeological evidence, medical records, government reports, and survivor testimonies, this book reveals how disasters interact with existing inequalities, how societies organize relief and reconstruction, and how catastrophes trigger institutional reforms or social upheaval. It explores why similar events produce different outcomes depending on governance structures, resource distribution, and cultural responses to crisis.The narrative examines how communities maintained social cohesion or fractured under extreme stress, how authorities maintained legitimacy or lost credibility through crisis management, and how disasters accelerated changes already underway or created genuinely new historical trajectories. It analyzes the relationship between disaster vulnerability and social organization, how knowledge from past catastrophes was preserved or forgotten, and what survival patterns reveal about human adaptability. Without sensationalism, this work provides rigorous analysis of how catastrophes shape human history and what they teach about societal resilience.

Behind the ceremonial grandeur of European monarchies lay a world of political maneuvering, contested legitimacy, and ruthless competition for power. This meticulously researched account examines how succession disputes, royal marriages, court factions, and personal conflicts shaped dynastic politics across five centuriesfrom Medici Florence to Habsburg Vienna, from Tudor England to Romanov Russia.Drawing on diplomatic correspondence, court records, and contemporary chronicles, this book reveals how scandals exposed deeper structural tensions within monarchical systems. It explores how illegitimacy questions threatened dynasties, how royal favorites disrupted established hierarchies, how financial corruption undermined state authority, and how personal relationships between monarchs influenced European politics. Each case study demonstrates how individual actions intersected with institutional constraints and international rivalries.The narrative examines the mechanisms of court politics, the role of advisors and mistresses, the legal frameworks governing succession, and how scandals were managed or exploited by rival factions. It analyzes how information spread through diplomatic networks, how propaganda shaped public perception, and how dynasties survived or fell based on their ability to maintain legitimacy. Without sensationalism, this work provides serious analysis of how personal conduct and political power intertwined in monarchical Europe.

The Renaissance was not simply a revival of classical learning but a period of profound cultural disruption that challenged medieval authority, transformed artistic production, and created new forms of knowledge. This comprehensive examination explores how humanism, scientific inquiry, and artistic innovation intersected with political conflict, religious upheaval, and economic change across Italy and northern Europe.Drawing on artistic treatises, scientific manuscripts, merchant records, and contemporary correspondence, this book reveals how Renaissance culture emerged from specific urban contexts where patronage networks, guild structures, and international trade created opportunities for experimentation. It explores how artists challenged conventions, how anatomical studies questioned religious doctrine, how printing technology democratized learning, and how philosophical debates undermined scholastic certainties.The narrative examines who participated in Renaissance culture beyond famous names, how women navigated restricted intellectual spaces, how craftsmen and scholars collaborated, and how ideas circulated through courts, universities, and workshops. It analyzes resistance from established institutions, the relationship between cultural production and political power, and how Renaissance innovations laid foundations for scientific revolution and religious reformation. Without idealizing the period, this work provides rigorous analysis of how cultural movements challenge existing orders.
