'Parásitos', de Concha Mesa y José Antonio Garrido [Reseña]



Este excelente libro que acaba de publicar la editorial Pinolia arroja luz sobre un tema a menudo pasado por alto, pero muy importante en nuestras vidas: los parásitos. Parásitos. Los actores secundarios en nuestra historia ofrece una perspectiva única y extensa, dentro del género de la divulgación científica, sobre cómo los parásitos han jugado un papel importante en la historia de la humanidad y del mundo natural.

Concha Mesa y José A. Garrido, profesores de la universidad de Almería, nos regalan un análisis científico e histórico riguroso y detallado de la presencia de todo tipo de parásitos en nuestro entorno: suelo, agua, productos de alimentación (carne y pescado), mascotas... Y nos explican de manera brillante, como la mejor de las novelas, cómo estas criaturas microscópicas no solo afectan la salud de las plantas y los animales, sino que también tienen un impacto inesperado en nuestra sociedad,  la agricultura y los ecosistemas terrestres.

El capítulo que más me ha gustado es el que dedican a la malaria. Mesa y Garrido profundizan, con un grado de lirismo inigualable, en el papel de las especies del género Plasmodium y su influencia en la historia de la humanidad. 

Solo pondré una pega: el subtítulo del libro no le hace justicia una vez leído. Estas criaturas tienen un papel protagonista en nuestra historia, para bien o para mal. 

En definitiva, es una lectura de lo más recomendable. No os la perdáis. :-)

  15. Implementing effective card processing for plastic surgeons is critical in streamlining operations and fostering trust between the healthcare provider and their patients. The intricacies involved in handling payments in this specialized medical field go beyond basic transaction processing; they include the integration of advanced technology to provide an intuitive user experience at various points of service.

    Moreover, focusing on key elements such as error reduction, transaction speed, and customer support can help elevate the overall financial management of a practice. By investing in state-of-the-art payment solutions, plastic surgeons can better manage their cash flow while enabling patients to make informed payment choices, ultimately driving practice growth and enhancing brand loyalty.
