Neuroendoscopy: State-of-the-art, global subspecialty encompassed in multimedia volume Honorable mention from the 2017 PROSE Awards HONORABLE MENTION for Textbook/Clinical Medicine!

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.
Con el pretexto de seguir varios temas en las siete novelas de la saga de Maqroll el Gaviero, este análisis erudito de La Nieve del Almirante; Ilona llega con la lluvia; Un bel morir; La última escala del Tramp Steamer; Amirbar; Abdul Bashur, soñador de navíos; y Tríptico de mar y tierra, ramifica su alcance a la obra toda de Álvaro Mutis (1923-2013). El narrador, guionista, profesor y crítico Carlos Gerardo Torres-Rodríguez revisita los múltiples significados del legado de uno de los nombres emblemáticos de la literatura latinoamericana, cuya trayectoria alcanzó reconocimientos como los premios Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras, el Premio Neustadt, el Reina Sofía de Poesía Iberoamericana y el Cervantes. Un estudio que se merecen Mutis y sus lectores.

The Tamaulipan Province stretches 55,000 square miles along the Tropic of Cancer, from the northernmost Mexican states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipus, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz all the way to southwest Texas. Home to such varied species as the ocelot and the prairie dog, as well as rare birds like the green-cheeked amazon and the crimson-collared grosbeak, it is one of the most diverse regions in North America--and one of the most threatened. The exquisite result of a partnership among Mexican non-governmental organizations, Agrupación Sierra Madre, and the Tamaulipus state government of Mexico, The Great Tamaulipan Natural Province explores this natural paradise and captures its incredible geographical diversity--lagoons, plains, deserts and mountains--through the lens of a camera. Each photograph argues powerfully and persuasively for the preservation of this unique and beautiful environment. A superb contribution to the study of North American wildlife, The Great Tamaulipan Natural Province is a must-read for scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and anyone concerned about our rapidly diminishing natural world.
El viaje que Mario Barrero Fajardo propone en este libro consta de dos etapas. En la primera etapa —"El malestar mutisiano con el mundo contemporáneo"— se estudia el origen del fastidio que tanto la voz-personaje ficcional —Maqroll el Gaviero— como su creador —Álvaro Mutis— pusieron de manifiesto respecto a los espacios del mundo contemporáneo por los que transitaron, cumpliendo siempre su función de "ojos avizores" atentos a épater a sus variopintos interlocutores. En la segunda etapa —"Viaje al corazón de la 'tierra caliente' mutisiana"— se explora una de las líneas de fuga espacio-temporales propuestas por Mutis en su obra para hacer frente al desasosiego que le generó la sociedad moderna: la creación de una ficcional "tierra caliente". Un imaginario que, aunque signado por una elevada carga autobiográfica, Mutis concibió no como un telón de fondo de su obra, sino como un "paisaje total" que resignificó por completo la visión de mundo y las relaciones de aquellos que de manera permanente o parcial moraron en sus feudos
