From Struggle to Sovereignty
Hello, my name is Diego Alejandro Jiménez, and I am passionate about history, particularly the history of Argentina's independence. As an avid reader and researcher, I have spent countless hours studying and analyzing the events and people that led to Argentina's separation from Spanish colonial rule. With a deep understanding of the political, social, and economic factors that influenced the struggle for independence, I am well-equipped to provide a comprehensive and insightful analysis of this pivotal period in Argentine history. Whether you are a fellow history enthusiast, a student, or simply someone interested in learning more about Argentina's past, I am confident that my book will pr...
Thunderpuss
From the very beginning, Alejandro Jimenez endured horrendous struggles. Stripped from his childhood home after his mother burned his feet with cigarettes, the 1-year-old baby was thrust into an unforgiving foster care system. Sexually abused by an older neighbor and beat physically by an alcoholic father, young Alejandro grew to hate the world and resent his place in it. Embraced by a cadre of larger-than-life characters in the underground gay club scene in Florida as a teenager, he threw himself into life in the fast lane. Ultimately, it was hair that saved him. Poignant, touching, humorous, and, at times, tragically heartbreaking, Thunderpuss is a memoir like no other. Alejandro recounts his life with grace and wisdom, without malice or judgment. The result is a breathtaking book that leaves readers feeling simultaneously beat down and uplifted. It is a tour-de-force that doesn't let you go until the final page.

Descendants of a Lesser God
A new perspective on the dynamics of dynastic rule in the southernmost province of Egypt, from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom The First Upper Egyptian nome, with its capital, Elephantine, was important in ancient times, as it stood on the southern border between Egypt and the Nubian provinces above the First Cataract. Since 2008, Alejandro Jiménez-Serrano has led an archaeological mission at the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa, where Elephantine’s high officials are buried. In Descendants of a Lesser God, he draws on textual records and archaeological data, together with new evidence from his work at the tombs, to cast fresh historiographical light on the dynastic dynamics of these rulin...

Contributors to the volume are Egyptologists from around the world who have developed their research following a conference held at the University of Jaén in Spain.
Towards THz Chipless High-Q Cooperative Radar Targets for Identification, Sensing, and Ranging
This work systematically investigates the use of high-quality (high-Q) resonators as coding particles of chipless cooperative radar targets to overcome clutter. Due to their high-Q, the backscattered signature can outlast clutter and permit reliable readouts in dynamic environments as well as its integration in other types of cooperative radar targets for joint identification, sensing, and ranging capabilities. This is first demonstrated with temperature and pressure sensors in the microwave frequency range, which include the characterization of a novel temperature sensor for machine tool monitoring up to 400 °C, as well as inside the machine. Afterwards, the thesis proposes and demonstrate...
Hyperborder
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.
