¡QUE LE DEN A LA CIENCIA! . SUPERSTICIONES, PSEUDOCIENCIAS, BULOS… DESMONTADOS CON PENSAMIENTO CRÍTICO (VIDAL, ROCÍO)
¡Que le den a la ciencia! -con prólogo de Ramón Nogueras- es el más eficaz antídoto contra los bulos. Un libro de pura y sana divulgación científica. Homeopatía, chamanismo, reiki..., muchas son las terapias alternativas que promocionan algunas personas --entre ellos varios influencers muy populares-- como si fuesen la cura definitiva, y real, de todos los males. Sin embargo, como ha podido demostrar Rocío Vidal en sus videos, ninguna de la información que se transmite sobre éstas tiene estudios serios o científicos de su veracidad. De este modo, esta periodista y divulgadora científica ha comenzado una cruzada para destapar timos, mitos y charlatanerías pseudocientíficas desde su canal de vídeos, La gata de Schrödinger. Y, a la vez, para enseñarnos la importancia que tiene la ciencia en la sociedad.

AGUA SALADA Y SANGRE CALIENTE . HISTORIAS DE MAMÍFEROS MARINOS (CAPPOZZO, LUIS)
De Flipper a Moby Dick, pasando por Sammy la foca loca, estas historias de mamíferos marinos dan cuenta de todo lo que siempre quisimos saber sobre ballenas, delfines, lobos marinos, focas y morsas. ¿Será cierto que tienen una procedencia terrestre? ¿Cómo hacen para bucear tanto tiempo y a grandes profundidades. ¿De qué modo se reconocen la madre lobo marino y su cría ¿Es la orca una ballena asesina, o sólo cumple ese papel funesto en las películas de Hollywood? Sean los ejemplares que se refugian en los puertos, en la Patagonia o los especímenes de alta mar, estos mamíferos ejercen una especial fascinación sobre quienes convivimos con ellos.

BRÚJULA PARA NAVEGANTES EMOCIONALES (PUNSET,ELSA)
Conocerse a uno mismo permite descubrir las fuentes de nuestra felicidad, nuestra ira y nuestro dolor para poder convivir armoniosa y plenamente con nosotros mismos y con los demás.En el fondo instintivo de nuestro ser, no pensamos, sentimos. Estamos hechos de emociones. A lo largo de los siglos nos habíamos esforzado en encerrarlas en sistemas de vida ordenados y represivos. Ante su dictado solo cabía resignarse o rebelarse. Actualmente vivimos en un mundo que nos abruma con tentaciones y decisiones múltiples y tenemos que decidir en soledad quiénes somos y por qué nos merece la pena vivir. Esta nueva libertad reclama la adquisición de una brújula que nos permita navegar con inteligencia emocional por los cauces imprevisibles de nuestras vidas.Este libro recorre las distintas etapas de maduración emocional y social del ser humano no solo como individuo, sino también en relación a las personas que conforman nuestro entorno: padres, hijos, pareja, compañeros, amigos... En el siglo XXI las emociones, gracias a las puertas que ha abierto la neurociencia, pueden catalogarse, comprenderse e incluso gestionarse: son la llave de nuestro centro neurálgico, llámese cerebro, alma, conciencia o libre alberdrío.La crítica ha dicho...«Uno de los mejores libros de divulgación científica del año.»El Mundo
