Relaciones Hídricas en Las Plantas
La experiencia de los autores a lo largo de años en la enseñanza de la fisiología vegetal ha dado como fruto esta obra, resultado de la observación de graves deficiencias en la disponibildad de textos para los estudiantes y maestros de las licenciaturas de biología, agronomía y otras disciplinas relacionadas con estas áreas.
Encinos. Respuestas Morfofisiológicas a la sequía
Esta revisión se enfocó fundamentalmente a investigadores interesados en la relación entre la respuesta fisiológica de un Quercus al déficit de agua que, para el caso de nuestro país, por su gran número de especies, impli-ca un rosario de posibilidades adaptativas a entornos contrastantes. No obstante, la información acerca de especies mexicanas es exigua. Resaltan particularmente dos trabajos: el de Asbjornsen, Vogt y Ashton (2004), quienes realizaron un estudio en Oaxaca, y el de Quintana, González y Ramírez (1992) en el estado de Chiapas.
The Extirpation of Idolatry in Peru
Long recognized as a classic account of the early Spanish efforts to convert the Indians of Peru, Father De Arriaga's book, originally published in 1621, has become comparatively rare even in its Spanish editions. This translation now makes available for the first time in English a unique record of the customs and religious practices that prevailed after the Spanish conquest. In his book, which was designed as a manual for the rooting out of paganism, De Arriaga sets down plainly and methodically what he found among the Indians—their objects of worship, their priests and sorcerers, their festivals and sacrifices, and their superstitions—and how these things are to be recognized and combated. Moreover, he evinces a steady awareness of the hold of custom and of the plight of the Indians who are torn between the demands of their old life and their new masters. The Extirpation of Idolatry in Peru is an invaluable source for historians and anthropologists.

The Blood Contingent
This innovative social and cultural history explores the daily lives of the lowest echelons in president Porfirio Díaz’s army through the decades leading up to the 1910 Revolution. The author shows how life in the barracks—not just combat and drill but also leisure, vice, and intimacy—reveals the basic power relations that made Mexico into a modern society. The Porfirian regime sought to control and direct violence, to impose scientific hygiene and patriotic zeal, and to build an army to rival that of the European powers. The barracks community enacted these objectives in times of war or peace, but never perfectly, and never as expected. The fault lines within the process of creating the ideal army echoed the challenges of constructing an ideal society. This insightful history of life, love, and war in turn-of-the-century Mexico sheds useful light on the troubled state of the Mexican military more than a century later.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
