Un recorrido por la inspiradora vida del que aún hoy es el neurocientífico más citado del mundo y, sin duda, el mayor referente de la historia de la ciencia española.La biografía definitiva de Santiago Ramon y Cajal (Petilla de Aragon, 1 de mayo de 1852-Madrid, 17 de octubre de 1934), medico español, especializado en histologia y anatomia patologica. Considerado el padre de la neurociencia por sus descubrimientos acerca de la estructura del sistema nervioso y el papel de la neurona, fue el primer Premio Nobel español en Fisiologia y Medicina, galardon que obtuvo en 1906. Sus investigaciones son mundialmente reconocidas y es, sin lugar a duda, el cientifico español mas importante de todos los tiempos. Este libro recorre su polifacetica trayectoria vital, que fue mas alla de la ciencia para adentrarse en el arte y la literatura. En sus paginas, la voz de Cajal cobra vida a traves de sus propios escritos y aporta, entre otras, algunas muestras de sus bellas y detalladas ilustraciones del sistema nervioso.Libro realizado en coedicion con el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades, Ministerio de Defensa y Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Union Europea y Cooperacion.

Rosalind Franklin fue una de las químicas más influyentes del siglo XX. Experta en el uso de los rayos X, desveló uno de los enigmas mejor guardados de la naturaleza: la estructura del ADN, la molécula que se encarga de que todos, humanos, animales, plantas y resto de organismos, nos parezcamos a nuestros progenitores.A pesar de no haber obtenido apenas reconocimiento, la vida de Rosalind Franklin es un ejemplo de superacion y de trabajo, al haber contribuido al descubrimiento del secreto de la vida.

Steve Jobs fue un visionario, inventor e informático al que le debemos la creación de aparatos tan imprescindibles como el iPhone o el iPad. Tuvo una vida muy intensa y supo aprovechar las dificultades para superarse y sacar lo mejor de si mismo. Ademas, consiguio lo que se habia propuesto desde joven: irse a la cama cada noche sabiendo que habia hecho algo util e importante. Jobs consiguio cambiar, con sus ideas e inventos, nada menos que nuestra manera de vivir.

Stephen Hawking ha sido uno de los científicos más brillantes del siglo xx y el que mejor entendió el universo. Padeció una grave enfermedad que le dejó inmovilizado y siguió estudiando, tuvo hijos, participo en peliculas, escribio libros extraordinarios e incluso viajo al espacio con su silla de ruedas. Era todo un genio pero, sobre todo, un hombre con unas ganas enormes de aprender y de vivir.

Edward Tyas Cooks "The Life of Florence Nightingale" (Vol. 1 & 2) is a comprehensive biographical account that intricately weaves the personal and professional narrative of one of historys most revered figures in nursing and social reform. Cook employs a meticulous, almost archival literary style, crafting a richly detailed portrayal of NightingaleAos life from her privileged upbringing to her pioneering work during the Crimean War. The text is embedded in the Victorian context, reflecting the societal norms and gender roles of the 19th century, while also critiquing them through Nightingales formidable spirit and reformative efforts in healthcare and hospital sanitation. Edward Tyas Cook, an esteemed biographer, was deeply influenced by his contemporaries and the evolving perceptions of womens roles in society. His commitment to chronicling Nightingales legacy stemmed from an understanding of the transformative impact she had on nursing education and public health. Drawing on extensive archival research, Cooks work is not merely a biography but a profound exploration of Nightingales influence on modern nursing and her enduring significance in the realm of humanitarianism.

Antes de cumplir los 30 años, Louis Pasteur había hecho descubrimientos que serían fundamentales para la estereoquímica, y no había alcanzado los 60 cuando los sabios lo aclamaban como uno de los máximos benefactores de la humanidad. Este libro estudia la vida de Pasteur y relata como sus aportaciones a diversas ciencias -muy concretamente a la medicina- fueron fruto de investigaciones efectuadas con un rigor y un discernimiento acaso nunca igualados.

Esta es en síntesis la historia contada por Brigitte Luis Guillermo Baptiste a la periodista Diana Calderón, en un viaje a las profundidades de un personaje fascinante.Brigitte Luis Guillermo Baptiste es la historia de la excelencia, de un transito que emprendio a los 35 años. Es una historia que la trasciende a ella misma en su intimidad para convertirla en referente de las discusiones actuales a nivel global: sostenibilidad, educacion, regimenes de izquierda y de derecha, la creciente voz que se alza en todas las sociedades en un grito, a veces ensordecedor, y que nos dice que es hora de una verdadera transformacion.Es la historia de quien ha estado en las profundidades de la soledad y en el dolor de la perdida. Es la historia de alguien que pareceria mirar otro cielo. No hay en su animo asomos de tristeza, como si las historias vividas hubieran quedado atras o las cicatrices estuvieran ocultas en los colores de los innumerables tatuajes que forran su piel.

Desde una mirada integral y crítica, Juan Martín Rodríguez Casopresenta la figura de uno de los científicos más influyentes de la historia: Charles Darwin, el padre del naturalismo, y habilitará al lector a repensar su ateismo historicamente difundido. El aporte de esta obra es, sin duda, evitar la trampa de situar al cientifico en circuitos ideologicos fijos que obstaculicen cualquier intento de dialogo interdisciplinar, aqui el de ciencia y religion, cuyo campo de estudio puede aportar otras respuestas a novedosos debates contemporaneos.

Este libro se enmarca en una serie de publicaciones dedicada a la vida y obra de científicos del siglo XIX y a la relación, a veces problemática, entre ciencia y religión. La vida de Francesco Faà d

As we go about our day-to-day lives, digital information about who we are is gathered from all angles via biometric scans, passport applications, and, of course, social media. This data can never fully capture our complex, fluid identities over decades of our lives. Yet, this data populates numerous databases we may not even be aware of that can make life-or-death decisions such as who is allowed access to welfare benefits or who is granted food parcels as they pass war-torn borders.Machine Readable Me considers how and why data that is gathered about us is increasingly limiting what we can and cant do in our lives and, crucially, what the alternatives are.
