No cabe duda de que este es un libro sobre los primeros cuarenta años del VIH/sida en Colombia. Sin embargo, tras su lectura, he llegado a otra conclusión: este es un libro sobre la dignidad. Martha Lucia Ospina Exviceministra de Salud y exdirectora del Instituto Nacional de SaludEste libro aborda diversos enfoques, unos cientificos, otros sociales y otros filosoficos. Tiene una distribucion mas tematica que cronologica. La primera parte describe los origenes del virus, su descubrimiento y su llegada a Colombia. La segunda parte contiene el corazon de este libro: a partir de historias de activismo, de desarrollos farmacologicos, de infeccion en niños, de experiencias universitarias y de enfrentamiento contra el negacionismo, muestra como el VIH enriquecio la practica medica en Colombia y como la hizo trascender. El VIH fue una escuela de derechos. Las lecciones aprendidas por su causa no fueron solo para el beneficio de sus principales afectados; lo fueron para toda la sociedad. En un principio, por efecto del miedo, fue una enfermedad que rompio a la sociedad. Pero luego, venciendo el estigma y la ignorancia, ha construido esperanza y favorecido la reivindicacion de los derechos sexuales, de salud e incluso sociales. La tercera parte es una esperanzadora reflexion sobre la salud y la dignidad, concepto que no aparecio con el sida, pero si se lleno de significado gracias a el. El libro es la narracion de como una enfermedad transformo a una sociedad. Es un relato con desafios aun vigentes, individuales y colectivos. Una historia para recordar, enseñar y jamas olvidar.

Imitar no es repetir, es crear el futuro desde la sabiduría del presenteLAS GRANDES EMPRESAS NACEN DE LA IMITACIÓN...Pero no de una imitación superficial, sino de un proceso mucho más pro-fundo: observar con atencion, comprender nuestros problemas, extractar principios universales y, finalmente, llevarlos a la practica en la realidad concreta de cada negocio. Esto, que puede parecer contradictorio, es el corazon conceptual del sorprendente trabajo del profesor Tatsuhiko Inoue, un libro mitico que se presenta por primera vez en español. Frente a la idea extendida de que copiar es algo negativo, Inoue demuestra que la imitacion, bien entendida y lograda, puede ser el punto de partida de transformaciones imposibles de lograr de otro modo. A traves de casos paradigmaticos de Japon y del mundo (7-Eleven, Starbucks, Toyota, Uniqlo, Kumon), el autor muestra como las empresas que supieron ir mas alla de la copia alcanzaron un nivel de innovacion que las convirtio en referentes globales. Cuando la imitacion es verdaderamente buena, ya no se reconoce como tal: se percibe como una innovacion genuina. En estas paginas descubriremos que la originalidad rara vez surge de la nada: se construye sobre la capacidad de aprender de otros, de perfeccionar lo existente y de reimaginarlo hasta volverlo unico y dificil de replicar. Este libro nos invita a cambiar la mirada: imitar no es repetir, es crear el futuro desde la sabiduria del presente.

Todos tenemos una historia frente al espejo. Algunos se reconocen. Otros se esconden. Y algunos, como el cirujano plástico Agustín Haeffeli, aprendieron que a veces hay que reconstruir el cuerpo para sanar el alma.Entre la precision del bisturi y la sensibilidad del artista, Perfectos y rotos explora el lado mas humano de la belleza. A traves de reflexiones, historia, filosofia y casos reales, Haeffeli desnuda el vinculo entre imagen, identidad y deseo en una era dominada por filtros, pantallas y comparaciones infinitas.Desde las cicatrices que marcan el cuerpo hasta las heridas invisibles que habitan la mente, este libro es un viaje profundo hacia lo que realmente somos cuando se apagan las luces del mundo digital.Un llamado a reconciliarnos con nuestra historia, a encontrar belleza en la imperfeccion y a recordar que la verdadera libertad empieza cuando dejamos de fingir perfeccion.Perfectos y rotos es una obra luminosa, sensible y valiente. Una mirada honesta sobre el cuerpo, la estetica y el poder de transformarse sin dejar de ser uno mismo.

La peor tragedia sanitaria a la que España tuvo que enfrentarse fue la Guerra Civil. Se ha hablado mucho de los cientos de miles de muertos, pero muy poco de los heridos y los enfermos de aquellos tres años terribles que necesitaron del cuidado de todos los medicos y enfermeras que habia en España. Este libro trata de acercarnos a como fue la atencion sanitaria que recibio el elevado contingente de heridos que produjo esa guerra. Conocer como evolucionaron y como se organizaron, nos permite descubrir las importantes y novedosas aportaciones a la sanidad y a la cirugia de guerra realizadas por nuestro personal sanitario a pesar de la escasez de medios y del poder lesivo del armamento moderno empleado por ambos bandos. La sanidad en la Guerra Civil se acompaña de multitud de fotografias y de relatos en primera persona de los sanitarios y nos traslada a los puestos de socorro improvisados, a los hospitales de sangre instalados en hoteles y a las ambulancias que llevaban, por primera vez en la historia, la sangre a los heridos del frente.
