Para saber más
Los datos que aparecen expuestos en el libro han sido obtenidos tras la lectura de un número considerable de publicaciones científicas. En el texto se cita la fuente de esos datos, para que puedan consultarse detalles técnicos de la metodología empleada en esos estudios y otros aspectos del trabajo, que puedan interesar en particular a alguno de los lectores. Es por ello que en la siguiente lista y en las notas a pie de página aparecen todos y cada uno de los estudios citados en el texto. La consulta de estas investigaciones puede ser gratuita, cuando están en abierto, pero la mayoría tienen que consultarse desde las bibliotecas de universidades y centros de investigación.
