The Polo Encyclopedia, 2d ed.
In its greatly expanded second edition, this definitive reference work on the sport of Polo includes more than 18,000 alphabetical and cross-referenced entries covering players, teams, national and international tournaments, rules of the game, books on polo and their authors, as well as painters and sculptors of polo subjects.

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.

La familia de Octavio Bunge. Parte I : 1827-1900
La familia de Octavio Bunge permite conocer la historia íntima de cada uno de los miembros de la familia que conformaron Octavio Bunge y María Luisa Arteaga, quienes se esmeraron en darles una educación de excelencia a sus descendientes; esto permitió que se transformaran en importantes intelectuales de la Argentina. Para conocer el entramado de esta familia, los autores indagaron en el prolífero intercambio epistolar que mantenían padres, hijos y hermanos cada vez que se alejaban, en los diarios íntimos que escribían las mujeres y en los diarios de la época. A lo largo de la obra se podrá observar que cada Bunge desarrolló una personalidad diferente y una forma de encarar la vida que los distinguía a unos de otros; también, cómo las relaciones entre padre e hijos se vuelven por momentos complicadas. Este primer tomo narra cómo es la llegada del primer Bunge a la Argentina y cómo logró que su familia ocupara un lugar destacado en la alta sociedad. Luego se dedica de lleno a relatar la vida del octavo hijo de Carlos Augusto Bunge, Raimundo Octavio, desde su niñez hasta su casamiento, y la llegada de sus hijos e hijas.
