El síndrome de Down es una anomalía ocasionada por la presencia de un cromosoma extra del par 21 en las células del organismo. Por eso se le llama también trisomía 21. El síndrome fue definido por Sir John Langdon Down en 1886, y la anomalía cromosómica fue identificada por Jérome Lejeune en 1959. El autor cuenta en las páginas de este libro una historia que contiene muchas otras, y lo hace de una manera honesta y rigurosa; tiene la calidez de lo cotidiano y la calidad de lo científico. Invita a los lectores a dar un paseo por la empatía, el cariño, la solidaridad y el amor incondicional de personas con síndrome de Down. Julio César Cortiñas López (Presidente de la Federación de Asociaciones en Favor de las Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual de Galicia). El andar juntos por esta vida es entrar en la historia de la humanidad, traspasando leyendas, siendo prácticos en la cotidianeidad, y marcar la diferencia entre la mediocridad y una forma singular y determinada genéticamente de ser y estar en el mundo, de la que los que nos llamamos normales tenemos mucho que aprender. Gonzalo Latorre (El autor) Un libro tierno e inteligente. Un abrazo acogido que permite entender el enriquecimiento con lo distinto. Javier Urra (Doctor en Psicología Clínica)

Media Piracy in Emerging Economies is the first independent, large-scale study of music, film and software piracy in emerging economies, with a focus on Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa, Mexico and Bolivia. Based on three years of work by some thirty five researchers, Media Piracy in Emerging Economies tells two overarching stories: one tracing the explosive growth of piracy as digital technologies became cheap and ubiquitous around the world, and another following the growth of industry lobbies that have reshaped laws and law enforcement around copyright protection. The report argues that these efforts have largely failed, and that the problem of piracy is better conceived as a failure of affordable access to media in legal markets.

Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
