Juan Fueyo is a disseminator with the gift to transmit the scientific through the funnel that makes the sophisticated accessible. And that being a world-class researcher always brings the scholar closer to the most unexpected vanguards. But as we say, the writer and essayist Juan Fueyo is something like a Carl Sagan with the focus changed from the cosmos to the most internal of the human being. Because a universe created in a small replica of the big bang is also expanding within us. The first heartbeat or the big bang, similar representations of the magical beginning of everything.
Great books that bring us closer to the scientific and medical challenges that are presented to us but also approaches to a fiction as disturbing as the very scenarios of our civilization. The gift of narration as a parallel virtue of the researcher who tries to find new explanations and their possible answers for all kinds of medical challenges. And even some other book that points to self-help from the scientific knowledge of what we are and what we can achieve...
