Filled with comics and anecdotes, this lighthearted book looks at those born, bred, and buttered in today’s society: typical homosapiens trying to let go of their own childhoods while becoming parents themselves. You know, doing the whole thing of three bedrooms, two baths, and a loft. Cough, a Zoloft. From an adolescent to an adult, this narrative is filled with anecdotal proof that humans are, well, strange creatures. This book is a must-have for new parents, the young and confused, and those who would like to ask why, why on earth do humans thrive, when nature selects?

He is also a semi-centurion. That's a word he made up when he turned 50 this year because "quinquagenarian" sounds like a horse disease or a Menudo song.

Cuando Juan Toral empezó a escribirlo, tenía como idea dar un pequeño tirón de orejas e intentar que las y los lectores se dieran cuenta de lo importante que es hacer un buen uso de los servicios de Urgencias.

Es labor de todos hacer un uso responsable de los recursos sanitarios que, aunque parezcan infinitos, cada vez están más recortados.
