Marijuana Boom
Before Colombia became one of the world’s largest producers of cocaine in the 1980s, traffickers from the Caribbean coast partnered with American buyers in the 1970s to make the South American country the main supplier of marijuana for a booming US drug market, fueled by the US hippie counterculture.

Combining deep archival research with unprecedented oral history, Lina Britto deciphers a puzzle: Why did the Colombian coffee republic, a model of Latin American representative democracy and economic modernization, transform into a drug paradise, and at what cost?
Memorias de violencia
La bonanza de la marihuana o «bonanza marimbera» fue un periodo que comenzó en la década de los setenta y transformó el estilo de vida de la gente de Santa Marta. Las personas que vivieron esa época aún recuerdan las balaceras y los muertos que dejaron los enfrentamientos entre las familias Valdeblánquez y Cárdenas.

The first edition of this book was the first text to be written on the Arena software, which is a very popular simulation modeling software.

The software features new capabilities such as model documentation, enhanced plots, file reading and writing, printing and animation symbols.
The Colombian Caribbean
This is a study of the role of regions in the development of modern nations in Latin America. Eduardo Posada-Carbo focuses on the Colombian Caribbean between 1870 and 1950. He examines the achievements and shortcomings of arable agriculture and the significance of the livestock industry, the links between town and countryside, the influence of foreign migrants and foreign capital, the relationship between local and national politics, and the extent to which regionalism represented a challenge to the consolidation of the national state in Colombia. This original study opens up the area to scholarly scrutiny, and has wider implications for Latin American historiography.
