A physical and ethological description, the reason of its involvement in the book, preservation state, natural history and ecology, as well as a map with its geographical location in Mexico, and a picture of the specie is provided for each fish. This book is a start point for the knowledge and preservation of the richness of this biological group.

This book mathematically analyzes the basic problems of biology, decision making and psychology within the framework of the theory of open quantum systems. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in applications of quantum theory in fields beyond physics. The main areas include psychology, decision-making, economics, finance, social science as well as genetics and molecular biology. The corresponding models are referred to as quantum-like; they don’t concern any genuine physical processes in the human brain. Quantum-like models reflect the special features of information...

The fourth edition of "The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements" comprises all chapters in volumes 1 through 5 of the third edition (published in 2006) plus a new volume 6. To remain consistent with the plan of the first edition, “ ... to provide a comprehensive and uniform treatment of the chemistry of the actinide [and transactinide] elements for both the nuclear technologist and the inorganic and physical chemist,” and to be consistent with the maturity of the field, the fourth edition is organized in three parts. The first group of chapters follows the format of the...

La salud humana, la de las plantas y la de los animales son interdependientes y están ligadas a la salud de los ecosistemas en los que conviven. El ser humano se ha convertido no ya en el responsable sino, paradójicamente, en una de las principales dianas de su relación tóxica con la naturaleza, generando una grave crisis ambiental y una sociedad extremadamente desigual, con problemas psicológicos crecientes y con millones de muertes evitables. Para entender cómo hemos llegado aquí y, sobre todo, cómo podremos sortear esta trágica historia que lleva un inquietante rumbo hacia el...
