Warning: do not kiss golden dart frogs!

Conviértete en un superdetective y ayuda a resolver el robo del siglo. Acaban de dar el aviso de un importante robo. Este será el primer caso de una joven detective y no parece fácil: lo único que consigue de la escena del delito es una muestra de ADN que extrae de un guante. ¿Podrá encontrar al ladrón solo con eso? En el núcleo de casi todas las células de nuestro cuerpo hay una molécula de ADN con un código único que le da al organismo instrucciones como «Crea dos piernas, dos brazos, dos ojos y una nariz». Pero ¿qué es el ADN exactamente? ¿Y cómo puede haber tanta información comprimida en algo tan pequeño? Al adentrarnos en el universo del ADN descubriremos por qué los seres humanos nos parecemos a las moscas o a los ratones, cómo se clona una oveja y de qué forma la genética nos ayuda a conocer mejor el origen de algunas enfermedades. La detective del ADN descifra en este libro el misterio de nuestro mapa genético e irá descartando sospechosos hasta descubrir al culpable del robo. ¡Buena suerte con el caso!

¿QUIÉN NOS VIGILA... Y POR QUÉ?

Cada vez que hacemos clic, escribimos, damos un «me gusta», aceptamos una solicitud de amistad, compramos, o incluso cuando vamos andando por la calle, ¡nos vigilan más ojos de los que podemos imaginar! Dentro y fuera de internet, las empresas, los gobiernos y las fuerzas de seguridad van recopilando información sobre nosotros. Dicen que así estamos más seguros, o que eso nos facilita la vida. Pero ¿dónde está la línea que separa la seguridad de la intimidad? ¿Y a quién le corresponde trazarla?Con diversos ejemplos de la vida real, la autora descifra en este libro el controvertido mundo de la vigilancia y explora temas tan candentes como la tecnología de reconocimiento facial, las cámaras de seguridad, el ciberacoso y el control de los alumnos en los colegios, entre otros.
