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 Soils of Ecuador
This is the first book to comprehensively discuss Ecuadorian soils. Richly illustrated, it provides information on the unique characteristics and distribution of these soils. Due to the influence of the Andes, which vastly modified the climate and parental materials, a relative small country like Ecuador has a wide variety of soil orders, rarely found in other countries. The country is divided into three distinctive regions by the Andes: The Coastal Plain, the Andean Highlands, and the Amazonia Region each with different soil development, influenced by the varying conditions in that region. It is also necessary to consider the Galapagos Islands as a separate region with a particular climate and parental material.
Latinization of America
Latinization of America provides a contemporary overview of the Hispanic population’s cultural impact in the United States. The author explores the growth of this community in show business at large as well as in the Spanish-speaking entertainment industry. Focusing on music, television, film, theater, and sports—while also considering economic and political factors—the author tracks developments over the first decade of the 21st century. Encompassing the various groups of immigrants who create new vistas of opportunity for both Spanish-speaking and mainstream entrepreneurs, this volume highlights the crossover and integration of Hispanics into competitive mainstream show business—and the rush by Anglo companies to grab their piece of the Latin pie.
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...
