Una historia que se dice de 500 años, pero que está anclada en los añejos devenires de los dos lados del océano, dio por resultado, entre otras cosas, a Veracruz: ayuntamiento, ciudad y puerto y aunque muchos de los hechos narrados nbsp;se podrían explicar a partir de la inserción en la economía mundo, los autores de este mosaico en su mayoría prefirieron historias íntimas, más del propio terruño que invitan a conocer mejor a Veracruz, en el arranque de su segunda mitad de milenio.
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.

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.

An extensive companion website illustrates the author's arguments through audio and video.
This title provides an extremely helpful analysis of genes that may be associated with autoimmunity, and answers questions such as how these genes can be identified, and how the functions of the gene products can be elucidated. Incorporating data on disease-associated chromosomal loci that has been accumulated from inbred mice, the title: descibes how some susceptibility loci may be common to many diseases, whereas others are relatively disease specific discusses the importance of developing criteria for establishing the significance of these different categories of disease-associated loci.
