La invención de la comida
El gato y la caja. Ezequiel Arrieta
Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency.

Pensar con otros : una guía de supervivencia en tiempos de posverdad
Guadalupe Nogués • 2022
Necesitamos que la verdad tenga valor. Que los datos, las fuentes, la opinión de los expertos y las construcciones argumentales importan es un principio que debería atravesar cualquier discusión, cotidiana o dentro del campo de la política. La posverdad genera una grieta en la que los hechos se vuelven hechos en la medida en que encajen en los deseos de cada grupo, de cada tribu, lo cual genera una fractura en la posibilidad de vínculo humano que pone en riesgo nuestra supervivencia. Este libro propone un viaje introspectivo sobre la forma en la que vemos y analizamos el mundo, y a través de ese recorrido una oportunidad de empezar a restaurar los vínculos que la posverdad nos robó. Pero no alcanza con ocuparnos de lo individual o lo cercano: necesitamos conectar con nuestros tomadores de decisiones y formadores de opinión. Es importante que ellos también reconozcan y participen en frenar esta epidemia. Que queremos que mejore la calidad del debate. Por cada diez ejemplares vendidos, se le entregará uno a figuras sociales relevantes de la política y los medios. Queremos articular a la comunidad con sus representantes a través de la lucha contra la posverdad, para que sepan que los estamos escuchando con oído crítico.
