Book Synopsis



La vida más fácil a través de las plantas

Por @bioamara, Premio Prismas 2021 al Mejor Libro de Divulgación Científica por Eso no estaba en mi libro de botánica

Dicen que el mejor amigo del hombre es el perro, pero seguro que los primeros que lo domesticaron ya comían vegetales, utilizaban sus fibras para vestirse o quemaban madera para calentarse; desde el principio hemos sabido sacar provecho a las plantas y encontrar sus múltiples aplicaciones. En un viaje por el cuerpo humano, conoceremos las fascinantes historias que hay detrás, descubriremos plantas que ayudan al corazón, que nos calman el dolor, que regulan el ciclo menstrual o algunas que incluso se usan para sintetizar medicamentos contra el cáncer. Un recorrido apasionante en el que, con el rigor científico y la cercanía de Rosa Porcel, @bioamara, veremos cómo la humanidad ha ido aprendiendo para qué sirven, y lo más importante, para lo que no sirven, hasta llegar a la actualidad, donde gracias a la ciencia hemos logrado avances extraordinarios.

Leyendo este libro entenderás por qué, y desde hace mucho tiempo, el mejor amigo del hombre siempre ha sido la planta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An Easier Life Through Plants

By @bioamara, winner of the 2021 Prismas Award for Best Science Communication Book for Eso no estaba en mi libro de botánica

They say that a dog is man's best friend, but surely the first people who domesticated them were already eating plants, using their fibers for clothing, or burning wood for warmth. Since the beginning, we have learned to make the most of plants and discover their countless applications.

In a journey through the human body, we will uncover the fascinating stories behind them--plants that help the heart, soothe pain, regulate the menstrual cycle, and even those used to synthesize cancer-fighting medications.

With the scientific rigor and engaging style of Rosa Porcel, @bioamara, this book explores how humanity has learned what plants are useful for--and, just as importantly, what they are not--leading up to the present day, where science has achieved extraordinary advancements.

By reading this book, you will understand why, for a long time now, man's best friend has always been the plant.
