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.
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.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
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.

About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
Much of world’s documentary heritage rests in vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical phenomena and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across the globe. From Dust to Digital showcases the historical significance of the collections identified, catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented — including rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and sound archives — and the wide geographical scope of the Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time, illustrating the potential these collections have to further our understanding of history.
