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.

Florida and the Mariel Boatlift of 1980 recounts first-hand the drama and political intrigue that erupted when more than thirty thousand Cuban refugees fled to Florida and the stories of the first responders who aided them.
Bone is the principal store for calcium and phosphate and one of the main regulators of mineral metabolism. The principal cells involved in bone remodeling are osteocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which maintain a precise equilibrium of bone mass. However, there are many factors that can affect bone and mineral homeostasis such as inadequate diet, microbiota alterations or aging. Furthermore, pathological conditions such as renal diseases, genetic disorders, obesity or inflammatory diseases can also potentially affect bone homeostasis, compromising bone health and leading to fractures and complications. Thus, integration of the mechanisms involved in mineral and bone alterations is key to understand bone physiology and its endocrine functions.
