“Be normal, like everyone else! Don’t be a freak! Why can’t you do things like everyone else?". Teenager Lía wonders why people go through life thinking that some things are normal… when the truth is everything is weird. It leads her to ponder about her own life story and those of the people around her, as she wonders, too, about the meaning of life. A journey of self-awareness where what makes us different is the secret to life’s mystery.
Throughout their history, humans have designed numerous artifacts to glimpse what lies beyond the visual plane—the remote, the miniscule, the unknown, the inconceivable and the non-containable. Mundos dentro de otros mundos examines, as a visual excursion, inventions like the microscope, the telescope and other devices whose power reveals unimaginable realms, both large and smalls. This is a book to expand the imagination, and travel our world in a way where curiosity knows no limits.

Until a few years ago, writing and publishing was reserved only for writers and journalists. Nonetheless, digital technologies arrived with the new century and the introduction of social media into the daily lives of millions of people has resulted in anyone being able to post all kinds of information, not always verified or based on reliable sources. Hardly a day goes by without the media denouncing this phenomenon. But what exactly lies behind terms such as “fake news” and “lying press”? Karoline Kuhla explores what is the objective of spreading falsehoods and what we can do to distinguish fake news from real news, thus preventing lies from disseminating.

Sometimes, as much as we try to avoid stereotypes, they guide our behavior. Why does this happen? What causes them? Where do they come from? Is raising awareness enough to eradicate them? This book introduces us to the science behind the stereotypes and the diverse theories about their origins, while showing us the results of multiple studies that have documented biased behaviors in different social groups. In this book, science suggests some ways to overcome them and build a fairer and more inclusive world. Through everyday examples and current information, this work inspires us to look in the mirror and ask ourselves what our own biases are, how these influence our daily lives and what we can (and want to) do about it.
Mi historia comienza aquí My Story Starts Here Deborah Ellis (text) Santiago Solís (illustration)
This book gathers the testimony of young offenders who've had to face the justice system from a very young age. This is Fred’s story, who ran away from his violent parents and was arrested for armed robbery at age thirteen; or Lindy’s, who had to take care of herself and her baby sister because their mother was unable to do so. Each story is different, but the circumstances are the same: orphanhood, absent parents, poverty, school absentism, addiction, or discrimination. This work reveals to us the debt that society holds towards the young people who commit crimes and teaches us how a simple act of affection can change the course of their lives. An invitation to reflect and develop empathy towards those young offenders who remain trapped in a justice system that ignores their needs and wants.
