Heart Disease and Climate Change

This Open Access book describes how the aging populations of high-income countries and younger, more vulnerable populations living in low-to-middle income countries are increasingly affected by cardiac events (including hospitalisation and premature mortality) that do not occur randomly. Instead, they rise and fall in response to climatic conditions. This relationship represents a complex bio-behavioral interaction between individuals at risk of experiencing an acute cardiovascular event and their environment.

Spatio-Temporal Methods

Spatio-Temporal Methods in Environmental Epidemiology with R, like its First Edition, explores the interface between environmental epidemiology and spatio-temporal modeling. It links recent developments in spatio-temporal theory with epidemiological applications. Drawing on real-life problems, it shows how recent advances in methodology can assess the health risks associated with environmental hazards. The book's clear guidelines enable the implementation of the methodology and estimation of risks in practice.

The Applied Genomic Epidemiology

The Applied Genomic Epidemiology Handbook: A Practical Guide to Leveraging Pathogen Genomic Data in Public Health provides rationale, theory, and implementation guidance to help public health practitioners incorporate pathogen genomic data analysis into their investigations. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, viral whole genome sequences were generated, analyzed, and shared at an unprecedented scale.

Poul Kjærholm: minimalismo atemporal

Poul Kjærholm (1929-1980) is counted among the giants of modern Scandinavian furniture design. While mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian furniture is typically associated with the warmth of wood, Kjærholm's designs were marked by highly disciplined forms shaped from hard stone and metal; his works harmonize well with Japanese architecture, which perhaps explains why he is so well embraced by connoisseurs in the country.

El motín del San Jerónimo

Esta novela histórica se basa en el testimonio legado por el soldado Juan Martínez, quien reseñó el viaje desde las costas americanas de Acapulco hasta la filipina isla de Cebú, en 1566, a bordo del galeón San Jerónimo.

En la nao capitaneada por Pedro Sánchez Pericón fungía como piloto Lope Martín, quien sería encarcelado y ejecutado al llegar a destino por haberse declarado en rebeldía contra López de Legazpi.
