Where North Meets South
This book embraces an emerging paradox of human geography: the growth of cities along international boundaries. For many years the world system was ordered in such a way that international boundaries remained essentially free of human settlement. In the last three decades, however, the axioms of traditional geopolitical organization have been shattered; in a number of areas in the world, including the United States-Mexico, United States-Canada, and western European border regions, boundaries have come to house large-scale cities. -- From Preface (page xi).

Birding Without Borders
One of the Guardian's Best Paperbacks of November 'Astonishing ... If by chance you can't meet these 6,042 species yourself, this book is a close second' Jennifer Ackerman, author of The Genius of Birds 'Even readers who wouldn't know a marvellous spatuletail from a southern ground hornbill will be awed' Publishers Weekly Noah Strycker set himself a goal: to become the first person to see half the world's 10,000 species of bird in one year. With an itinerary covering 41 countries, spanning all seven continents, and armed with a backpack, binoculars and a series of one-way tickets, he sets out on the greatest adventure in the birding world. Along the way he meets a colourful cast of fellow birders - and discovers a world of blood-sucking leeches, chronic sleep deprivation, floods, war zones, ecologic devastation and conservation triumphs. Vivid, charming and full of wonder, Birding Without Borders is a celebration of passion, exploration and the birders' ethos that, if you keep your eyes and mind open, you never know what you might see.
On Our Own Terms
During the Cold War, U.S. intervention in Latin American politics, economics, and society grew in scope and complexity, with diplomatic legacies evident in today's hemispheric policies. Development became a key form of intervention as government officials and experts from the United States and Latin America believed that development could foster hemispheric solidarity and security. In parts of Latin America, its implementation was especially intricate because recipients of these programs were diverse Indigenous peoples with their own politics, economics, and cultures. Contrary to project planners' expectations, Indigenous beneficiaries were not passive recipients but actively engaged with de...
Vogelfrei
Noah Strycker geht mit einem Rucksack und einem Fernglas auf Weltreise, um innerhalb eines Jahres so viele Vogelarten wie möglich zu sichten. Dafür bereist er 41 Länder und fünf Kontinente und begegnet überall Menschen, die ihm bei seiner Mission helfen. Darunter erstaunlich viele, die sich auf beeindruckende Weise für den Erhalt der Umwelt und den Vogelschutz einsetzen. Seine Reise ist ein wahres Abenteuer: Strycker erlebt und überlebt blutsaugende Insekten, ein Flugzeugunglück, Schlammlawinen, Überschwemmungen, Kriegsgebiete und ökologische Zerstörung, aber auch große Euphorie und Spannung, wenn er wieder eine rare Spezies sichtet. Am Ende seines Jahres hat er sagenhafte 6.042 Vogelnamen gesichtet und damit einen Weltrekord aufgestellt. Doch bringt er nicht nur eine lange Liste mit Vogelnamen mit nach Hause, sondern hat zudem das vielleicht beste Jahr seines Lebens hinter sich.
Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico
Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico is an empirically rich history of women’s political organizing during a critical stage of regime consolidation. Rebutting the image of Mexican women as conservative and antirevolutionary, Jocelyn Olcott shows women activists challenging prevailing beliefs about the masculine foundations of citizenship. Piecing together material from national and regional archives, popular journalism, and oral histories, Olcott examines how women inhabited the conventionally manly role of citizen by weaving together its quotidian and formal traditions, drawing strategies from local political struggles and competing gender ideologies. Olcott demonstrates an extraordinary grasp of the complexity of postrevolutionary Mexican politics, exploring the goals and outcomes of women’s organizing in Mexico City and the port city of Acapulco as well as in three rural locations: the southeastern state of Yucatán, the central state of Michoacán, and the northern region of the Comarca Lagunera. Combining the strengths of national and regional approaches, this comparative perspective sets in relief the specificities of citizenship as a lived experience.
