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.
Martin Ramirez
Martín Ramírez created nearly 450 drawings of remarkable visual clarity and expressive power while confined in a California mental institution for more than 25 years. This book demonstrates Ramírez's skill and inventiveness and shows why his work is worthy of its own place in the annals of modern art.
The Mexican Masked Wrestler and Monster Filmography
Any on-screen schmuck can take down a wolfman with a silver bullet. It takes a certain kind of hero to hoist that wolfman overhead into an airplane spin, follow with a body slam, drop an atomic elbow across his mangy neck, leg-lock him until he howls, and pin his furry back to the mat for a three-count. It takes a Mexican masked wrestler. Add a few half-naked vampire women, Aztec mummies, mad scientists, evil midgets from space, and a goateed Frankenstein monster, and you have just some of the elements of Mexican masked wrestler and monster movies, certainly among the most bizarre, surreal and imaginative films ever produced. This filmography features some of the oddest cinematic showdowns e...
Robot Dreams
A graphic novel classic — and now an Oscar-nominated animated feature! After best friends Robot and Dog spend a happy day at the beach, Robot's joints freeze up—they've become rusted through by the water. Dog is powerless to help Robot, who can't move an inch and is too heavy for Dog to carry. Eventually, Dog makes the difficult decision to leave Robot there, and return alone to the life they shared. The memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, Dog makes (and loses) new friends, from a melting snowman to epicurean anteaters. But Robot, lying rusting on the beach, finds solace in dreams. A masterwork in wordless cartooning, Sara Varon's Robot Dreams is a whimsical and poignant meditation on the power and fragility of relationships.
Consagrado no Gramado
Consagrado no Gramado traz informações sobre todos os jogos do Flamengo, desde que o clube aderiu ao futebol, no fim de 1911, até 2021. A investigação esclarece definitivamente os 110 anos de vida dessa história, com as referências de cada partida, incluindo as escalações detalhadas dos adversários e os seus treinadores. O trabalho consumiu dois anos e chegou ao limite. Foram consultados impressos, com prioridade para jornais e revistas oferecidos pela Biblioteca Nacional, além de sites e livros expostos na internet, e os teipes parciais ou completos de mais de três centenas de partidas. A coleção de livros do autor também teve grande importância. Houve ainda frequentes consultas, por e-mail e telefone, no Brasil e no exterior, aos que poderiam fornecer indicações e esclarecimentos. Há ainda um texto de apoio para cada década e a relação completa de todos os jogadores que vestiram a camisa rubro-negra pelo menos uma vez, com a identificação de praticamente todos eles, para que não reste alguma desconfiança sobre as suas existências. De agora em diante ninguém terá mais dúvida sobre o futebol do Flamengo.
