Polo in Argentina
This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.

Counter-Cola
Counter-Cola charts the history of one of the world’s most influential and widely known corporations, the Coca-Cola Company. It tells the story of how, over the past 130 years, the corporation has tried to make its products and brands physically and culturally a central part of global daily life in over 200 countries. Through this story of Coca-Cola, Amanda Ciafone reveals the pursuit of corporate power within the key economic transformations—liberal, developmentalist, neoliberal—of the 20th and 21st centuries. A story of global capitalism, it is not without contest. People throughout the world have redeployed the corporation, its commodities, and brand images to challenge the injustices of daily life under capitalism. As Ciafone shows, assertions of national economic interests, critiques of cultural homogenization, fights for workers’ rights, movements for environmental justice, and debates over public health have obliged the corporation to justify itself in terms of the common good, demonstrating capitalism’s imperative to assimilate critiques or reveal its limits.
Functional Biomaterials Design, Synthesis and Applications
Early diagnosis of cancer is still a major challenge in cancer therapy. In recent years, the development of multifunctional nanomaterials has provided a new diagnosis and treatment platform to combat cancer. Polymer-inorganic nanomaterials with novel structures such as bowl-shaped/Janus/core-shell have drawn much attention owing to their diversity in composition or asymmetry in structure. More importantly, imparting unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties to these nanocomposites can further extend their function repertoire. However, to fulfill this vision, fundamental understandings regarding strategies of precise synthesis, mechanisms of structure formation, in vivo synergistic ...
