ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the hit Netflix movie Lucca's World.With brutal frankness, Barbara Anderson narrates the day to day of having a disabled child: the challenges in and out of the home, the health and life complications, the change in priorities, the massive daily struggles of having a child with an irreversible--so far--diagnostic, such as infantile cerebral palsy. The author details how she embarked on a trip to India with her whole family so that Lucca could become one of the first children to undergo two 28-day treatments in 2017 and 2019, and the amazing results they saw in him: a neurogenesis that jump starts with Cytotron, a machine created by Indian scientist Rajah Kumar. As is the journey of every hero, this story doesn't end there: Barbara, unable to take no for an answer, begins her fight to promote the use of Cytotron in Mexico. This is a glimpse of the possibilities now open for patients with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions, as well as other types of diseases, such as cancer, from Mexico, the farthest place in the world from Bangalore. "A chilling, beautiful, and ultimately heartening book. The Two Hemispheres of Lucca is proof that perseverance and effort are always rewarded, and that Cytotron will be a paradigm change for millions of people from all over the world who suffer health problems so far untreatable. A gem of a story." --Michael Rowe, film director

Si en M xico m s del 16% de la poblaci n, cerca de 21 millones o 1 de cada 6 mexicanos cuentan con alg n tipo de condici n discapacitante, por qu parece que son muchos menos los casos que conocemos? Porque las personas con discapacidad (pcd) en nuestro pa s son una fuerza invisible. Si no es cada cuatro a os que se celebran los paral mpicos, si no se acerca el D a Internacional de las pcd, cuando las marcas realizan acciones; si no es que el gobierno da beneficios fiscales para impulsar la inserci n laboral de este grupo, el resto del tiempo las personas con discapacidad viven entre las sombras. Este libro busca arrojar un poco de luz a apenas veinticuatro de esos millones que no vemos. Con discapacidades de nacimiento o adquiridas y de diversos tipos, y origen de varias partes del pa s, medallistas ol mpicos, empresarios, fil ntropos, ejecutivos, pol ticos, servidores p blicos, artistas, activistas, conferencistas, acad micos, abogados, un m dico y hasta un standupero cuentan por primera vez sus historias con resiliencia, valent a y un prop sito: ser referentes para otras pcd y motivar a la poblaci n general a ser agentes de cambio, a contribuir en multiplicar esa luz y velar por la inclusi n en todos los aspectos de la vida. Un libro desgarrado, inspirador y sui g neris en el que la periodista y activista B rbara Anderson presta su pluma para dar voz a quienes no cuentan, al tiempo que el reconocido fot grafo Enrique Covarrubias ilumina sus rostros por primera vez con una mirada entre iguales. Invisibles es una lectura que cambia radicalmente la manera en la que vemos la discapacidad, mueve conciencias e invita a la acci n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION If more than 16% of Mexico's population, around 21 million or 1 in 6 Mexicans, have some type of disabling condition, why does it seem that there are fewer cases of people with disabilities than the actual percentage? The answer is that people with disabilities (PwD) are somewhat invisible. The fact is that most of the time, people with disabilities live in the shadows. We only tend to notice them every four years when the Paralympics are held; or when the International Day of PwD is near and brands carry out actions regarding PwD; or when the government gives tax benefits to promote the insertion of this group of people in the workplace. This book seeks to shed a light on the twenty-one million people we don't see as much as we should. For the first time, people with various types of disabilities--either from birth or acquired--belonging to different parts of the country, such as Olympic medalists, businessmen, philanthropists, executives, politicians, public servants, artists, activists, lecturers, academics, lawyers, doctors, and even a standup artist, tell their stories of resilience, courage, and purpose. Now, they are references for other people with disabilities while motivating the general population to be agents of change, to help shed light and ensure inclusion in all aspects of life. A heartbreaking, inspiring, and original book in which journalist and activist B rbara Anderson uses her writing to give a voice to those who aren't always counted, and where renowned photographer Enrique Covarrubias illuminates their faces for the first time as equals. (In)visible is a reading that radically changes the way we see disability, moves our conscience, and invites us to act.
