La vida de la salina de San Buenaventura es sacudida por el hallazgo de un cadáver. En plena época de extracción de sal, con una dura crisis abatiéndose sobre el negocio, un joven sargento de la Guardia Civil intuye que el caso será más complejo de lo que parecía a primera vista. En su búsqueda del asesino deberá sumergirse en un universo regido por costumbres ancestrales y habitado por seres que se debaten entre la esperanza y la decepción, la injusticia y el deseo. Una absorbente trama que tiene como escenario la Bahía de Cádiz y el trasfondo social de las labores tradicionales salineras que se han desempeñado en la zona durante siglos.
En un antiguo cementerio abandonado conocido como de los Franceses y cuyos últimos enterramientos datan de 1911, aparece un cadáver y junto a él una medalla. El sargento Guimerá de la Guardia Civil, acompañado del eficiente cabo Villena y de un par de guardias, deberá encargarse de resolver un caso en el que no faltan sospechosos. La aparición de un segundo cadáver lleva al sargento Guimerá a sospechar que los homicidios están relacionados y que tras esas trágicas muertes se esconde una trama de turbios negocios. Las investigaciones le llevan hasta una pandilla de amigos que varios años atrás se habían embarcado en una peligrosa aventura y que guardan un terrible secreto que juraron no sacar a la luz.
IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording, and classifying protected areas. They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.

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.
