Una introducción completa y ampliamente ilustrada al mundo de los virus, que nos revela su verdadera naturaleza. Los virus, parásitos que a menudo son cientos de veces más pequeños que las bacterias, estan presentes en todas partes. Evolucionan con rapidez, son muy oportunistas e implacablemente eficaces. Con un texto dinamico, graficos claros y hermosas imagenes, este libro examina todos los aspectos esenciales para comprenderlos: su diversidad, comportamiento, ciclo vital y mucho mas. Aunque algunos virus son obviamente agentes de enfermedades, como le ha recordado demasiado bien al mundo la pandemia de COVID-19, otros pueden ser beneficiosos y ayudar a proteger a sus huespedes de otros microbios, o les permiten funcionar de maneras que de otro modo serian imposibles.Escrito en un estilo no tecnico y facil de seguir, el libro abarca que son los virus y de donde proceden; como se transmiten y evolucionan; la batalla entre ellos y sus huespedes, incluidas la inmunidad y la vacunacion; los virus que son buenos para nosotros; el papel fundamental que desempeñan en el equilibrio de los ecosistemas terrestres; que hace que un virus como el del COVID-19 y la gripe se convierta en pandemico en plantas o animales; y la investigacion de vanguardia que descubre miles de virus nuevos. Cada capitulo concluye con perfiles ilustrados que destacan virus clave.

Brilliant, bold and beautifully articulated Karl J. Friston, Professor of Neuroscience, University College LondonNeuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin reveals the miracle by which consciousness evolved out of the natural world, from the birth of the cell to the majesty of our modern minds.Science says that you are nothing but a chemical reaction a collection of atoms and molecules like rocks, paperclips and everything else in the physical universe. But if thats so, where is the place in this world for your consciousness? In a word, why does it feel so special to be you?Like the Zen Buddhist riddle pondering the imponderable the sound of a single hand clapping this book asks the seemingly unanswerable question of how the human mind came to exist within the material world. In search of an answer, neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin takes readers on a billion-year journey through time from the roots of our existence to the advent of Homo sapiens, reimagining the story of our evolution. The result is an exhilarating book that embeds our consciousness within a single, unified story of life on Earth.A work of ambitious intellectual scope, One Hand Clapping is distinguished as much by its originality as by the breadth of its imaginative reach drawing from neuroscience, evolution, philosophy and a rich tapestry of cultural references, all brought to life by the authors own illustrations. Told with the drama and daring of a mythical epic, it reaches deep into our oceanic past to show for the first time how the entire course of Earths history, from the earliest non-living particles, ultimately led to the formation of our own minds.

Una exploración profundamente original de los grandes enigmas que la ciencia aún no ha podido resolver. La ciencia ha transformado nuestra vida más allá de lo imaginable. Nos ha llevado al espacio, ha descifrado el genoma humano y ha creado maquinas que aprenden. Pero, en su nucleo, persisten misterios que ningun avance ha conseguido despejar. Sonia Contera, catedratica de Fisica en Oxford y una de las cientificas mas influyentes del panorama internacional, nos invita a explorar esas fronteras del conocimiento donde las ecuaciones se detienen y comienza el asombro. Desde los enigmas de la fisica cuantica, el origen de la vida y el misterio del envejecimiento, hasta los retos de la inteligencia artificial y la conciencia, Contera revela como cada intento de respuesta ha cambiado nuestra forma de entender el universo... y a nosotros mismos. Un viaje fascinante y accesible por los desafios mas profundos de la ciencia contemporanea y por las preguntas que seguiran marcando el futuro de la humanidad.
