Montañas and three or four ríos
Montañas and three or four ríos es una antología bilingüe en español e inglés que celebra y amplifica las voces de escritores ganadores del Premio Ciudad y Naturaleza José Emilio Pacheco, un galardón cuyo objetivo es el de promover la reflexión humana sobre la interrelación entre lo urbano y la naturaleza. El valor de esta selección de textos es que también nos regala ensayos elocuentes y reveladores desde las perspectivas de cuatro mujeres: Ksenija Bilbija, Sarli E. Mercado, Kata Beilin y Lori DiPrete Brown, provenientes de cuatro países en Europa del Este, América Central y del Norte, que nos ayudan a contextualizar los poemas y cuentos premiados en los procesos que vivimos en estos tiempos.
El otro nombre de los árboles
Estos poemas emprenden la búsqueda de la armonía que acompasa las emociones humanas —el amor, el dolor de la muerte, la nostalgia del hogar perdido— y los ritmos de la naturaleza. Esa armonía no puede sino percibirse a través de la palabra, del nombre de las cosas, pero no el de todos los días, sino el secreto, el profundo, el otro nombre de los árboles.
Vaccination of Special Populations: Protecting the Vulnerable
Vaccines prevent 3 million of deaths every year and are a crucial to combat antimicrobial resistance. An optimal implementation of existing vaccines could help to avert up to 1.5 million deaths as well as substantial disabilities. Indeed, vulnerable populations (VPs), including pregnant women, newborns, preterm infants, elderly and patients affected by chronic diseases are frequently undervaccinated and/or at risk of reduced vaccine efficacy, presenting a major health and economic burden to society. Vaccine development programs mainly focus on healthy populations; therefore, vaccination strategies are often based on data arising from healthy subjects.
Poems
Margaret Sayers Peden, who is well known and respected for her translations of Fuentes, Neruda, Quiroga, and Paz, has made an admirable selection of poems that includes romances, redondillas, epigrams, decimas, sonnets, silvas, villancicos, and two excerpts from Sor Juana's theater. The introduction and notes provide the necessary context for those unfamiliar with the poet's life and times.
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on New Trends in Fatigue and Fracture
This book presents the proceedings of one of the major conferences in fatigue, fracture and structural integrity (NT2F). The papers are organized and divided in five different themes: fatigue and fracture mechanics of structures and advanced materials; fatigue and fracture in pressure vessels and pipelines: mechanical behavior and structural integrity of welded, bonded and bolted joints; residual stress and environmental effects on the fatigue behavior; and simulation methods, analytical and computation models in fatigue and fracture.
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.

Here I Am: the Abraham Legacy
In 1990, when Saddam Husseins military force invades Kuwait, millions of Americans hear the call to surrender loved ones to bloody combat and almost certain death in the Arabian desert. In Saverne, a Texas town near the U.S. border with Mexico, social worker Grace Faith Hernandez has a son in the Infantry and a fianc working in Kuwait, now MIAperhaps taken captive to Baghdador dead. Homeless former head librarian Katie Hand has a son/grandson, one of the first Air Force E-15 pilots to arrive in Oman. Rancher Red, Hubba-Hubba Clay, has a son, somewhat estranged from him, a career Marine already in Al Jubal with the California desert-trained 7th MEB. Together they wait for war.
