Procesos urbanos y sustentabilidad
Ante los retos y contradicciones que enfrenta el desarrollo sustentable, las contribuciones de esta obra sirven para detectar los puntos ciegos de su discurso, así como aquellos momentos en los que su práctica se encuentra ante callejones sin salida. Sus casos de estudio delatan problemas particulares en la generación de políticas urbanas sustentables: participación ciudadana y grupos sociales marginados son algunos de ellos.
Pasado, presente y futuro de la ciencia en México
Esta obra representa el esfuerzo y trabajo de un grupo de profesores del Centro Universitario de Tonalá (CUT), quienes, a través de la Academia de Historia del entonces Departamento de Ciencias Sociales del CUT, organizaron en abril de 2016 el Primer Coloquio de Historia de la Ciencia en México. Este evento logró reunir a más de cuarenta investigadores nacionales con diversas formaciones académicas y un objetivo común: el estudio de la historia de la ciencia, que fue posible mediante la presentación de ponencias en las que se conjugó lo multidisciplinario y lo transdisciplinario. Acciones como éstas nos dan la oportunidad de vincular el trabajo de nuestros investigadores con sus pares, al tiempo que interactúan con los estudiantes. El fruto de esta labor finalmente es un testimonio sobre historia de la ciencia. Los trabajos que integran el presente libro son resultado de la selección realizada por el Comité Editorial del CUT, que se encargó de revisar acuciosamente las ponencias presentadas durante el coloquio y que, sin duda, materializan el interés que existe en el ámbito nacional en torno a este campo del conocimiento.

Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Minor Detail
From a young Palestinian writer comes this compelling look at the Israel/Palestine conflict, from both the perspective of an Israeli soldier in 1949 as well as that of a young Palestinian woman.
Mud Sweeter than Honey
"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Mud Sweeter Than Honey goes a very long way indeed towards putting that right" New European After breaking ties with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed ...
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
