        We are an independent publisher, founded at the beginning of 2009 in the city of Montevideo, the southernmost capital of America. Throughout the years, we have been publishing fictional and non-fictional narratives, children’s books, political essays as well as photography books, under the collections named: Us (Nosotros), Stone like You (Piedra como tú), Walter’s Library (Biblioteca de Walter) and About Narratives (De Narrativa). Our titles are issued in printed and digital versions, which can be found at digital stores such as Amazon and Bajalibros, among digital libraries and the main bookstores in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. In addition, some of our books were translated into Italian and Portuguese. In the last few years, we have applied new technologies to develop products for the publishing sector. We created the webBook Digital Educational Contents (Contenidos educativos digitales) and the appbook Professions’ Factory (Fábrica de oficios), among other projects that are currently underway in this area. All our production is self-managed and strongly independent. The books we make are carefully thought through. In every release, the aesthetic care put in the edition, its narrative, illustrations, and photographs, seek to create an attractive object, aimed to inspire the desire to be included in every library.

        Pillen-Poker

        Wie uns die Pharmaindustrie schadet und was man dagegen tun kann

        by Jörg Schaaber, Bernd Hontschik

        Medikamente sollen uns wieder gesund machen oder unsere Beschwerden lindern. Doch in erster Linie sind Medikamente ein Renditeobjekt, denn das Geschäft mit Pillen und Patient:innen ist extrem profitabel. Der Pharmamarkt hat viel von einem Poker-Spiel: Wer am besten bluffen kann, gewinnt. Das auffälligste Symptom: Die meisten neuen Medikamente bringen den Patient:innen keine relevanten Vorteile. Erst recht gilt das für die Alternativmedizin, die ihren zahllosen Produkten oft völlig evidenzfrei Wirkungen andichtet. Dagegen werden dringend benötigte Medikamente wie neue Antibiotika erst gar nicht entwickelt – sie versprechen zu wenig Profit. Hinzu kommt, dass die Vermarktungsstrategien der Pharmaindustrie, ihre Verkaufs- und Informationstricks immer ausgefeilter werden, bei klinischen Studien immer raffinierter geschummelt und getäuscht wird, während man gleichzeitig den Verbraucher- und Patientenschutz schwächt. Pillen-Poker liefert nicht nur eine differenzierte Analyse des Geschäfts mit unserer Gesundheit, es zeigt auch Lösungsmöglichkeiten auf. Denn das Gute ist: Man kann es besser machen, und billiger wird es für die Allgemeinheit auch noch – man muss es nur wollen.
