Using a technique, which he has since patented, Ramirez projects films onto a circular, slightly convex, wooden panel, which he has gilded by hand in an elaborate process, leaf by leaf and layer by layer. This creates a unique projection surface, which determines the form of the projected images. In this debut artist book, an entire lifetime of dreaming in light is condensed to display a process unique to the California-born artist, whom Wim Wenders considers 'a true 21st century Renaissance artist.'
Los artífices: dos siglos de educación en México presenta la vida y obra de 46 personajes que han hecho historia en el ámbito de la educación y fueron determinantes en las transformaciones de nuestro país. Figuras como Gabino Barreda; Ignacio Ramírez, el Nigromante, e Ignacio Manuel Altamirano nacieron poco después de la Independencia. A ellos les tocó la fundación de nuestras primeras instituciones. Otros, como Rosaura Zapata, José Vasconcelos y Martín Luis Guzmán, vivieron en carne propia la Revolución y fueron artífices de la construcción del México moderno. Por último, están incluidos, entre otros, Miguel León-Portilla, verdadero estudioso del México antiguo; Rosario Castellanos, importante escritora y periodista, y Modesto Seara, promotor del desarrollo armónico de las comunidades más desprotegidas.

Esta serie de cuatro volúmenes analiza las Reformas Estructurales desde varios puntos de vista: la del protagonista que desde el propio órgano estatal preparó y puso en práctica la reforma, y la de dos académicos que desde las perspectivas nacional e internacional desmenuzan el contexto, la puesta en marcha y los retos que conlleva cada una de estas Reformas. El presente volumen aborda las reformas político-electoral, al juicio de amparo, al Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales, y en materia de justicia cotidiana.
Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Rooted in a Chicana/Latina/indigenous geographic and cultural sensibility, the stories in flesh to bone are concerned with borders of all kinds and the potential for transformation and healing. The nine stories write and rewrite "myth" from a woman's point of view, as they tell stories of women and children whose lives are shaped by the social, political, ecological, and economic disruption and violence of the borderlands. "An original and authentic voice...with an original vision. A blend of indigenismo and folktales retold in a modern vein.... These stories at times seem to come from the clouds, from spirits of ancient ancestors, or from the oblique corners of the human consciousness.... A new and engaging duende is being born in these pages."—Alejandro Murguía "If Chagall had written, he would have painted words in the fierce brushstrokes of ire'ne lara silva's stories. If Remedios Varo had told stories, she would have wound the tendrils of her magic the way ire'ne lara silva paints her world."—Cecile Pineda

British photographer Tariq Zaidi presents a fashion subculture of Kinshasa & Brazzaville: La Sape, Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes. Its followers are known as 'Sapeurs' ('Sapeuses' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars - turning heads, bringing 'joie de vivre' to their communities and defying their circumstances.
