Conflict And Commerce On The Rio Grande
Laredo is a city at the crossroads of North American history. Founded by the Spanish in 1755, it has stood at the intersection of regional commerce since its earliest days. Now, John A. Adams, Jr. provides the first-ever panoramic business and economic history of Laredo. He traces the evolution of the region from its early days as a ranching center into the mid-twentieth century, when Laredo had become what it remains today: a booming port of trade and a principal center of commerce and financial services on the southern border of the United States. In Commerce and Conflict on the Rio Grande Adams demonstrates how the increasingly diversified economy of the region fed the fortunes of the city. His narrative, buttressed throughout by tables and statistics, paints a vivid mural of both the economic forces and the farsighted and ambitious individuals that combined to bring prosperity to this unique American city. Readers will find a wealth of insights into regional economics, history, and borderlands themes.
Criminología de la corrupción urbanística y la prevaricación funcionarial
En este trabajo se aborda exhaustivamente toda la problemática de la criminología de la corrupción urbanística y la prevaricación funcionarial, centrándonos en particular en la Administración más cercana a los ciudadanos como son los Ayuntamientos, pues de todas las Administraciones Públicas que obtienen ingresos vinculados a la actividad inmobiliaria, es en la Administración Local donde mayor incidencia tienen, toda vez que de los cinco impuestos que existen en el Texto Refundido de la Ley 2/2004 Reguladora de las Haciendas Locales, tres de esos tributos tienen su fuente en el urbanismo. La actividad urbanística es el más importante sector competencial de la acción administrativa municipal, siendo la principal vía de financiación de las Corporaciones Locales que cada vez están más endeudadas. La mayoría de los gobiernos municipales han visto el urbanismo como la gallina de los huevos de oro, dado que han visto la solución a la precaria situación de las arcas municipales.

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.
