Technocratic Visions
Technocratic Visions examines the context and societal consequences of technologies, technocratic governance, and development in Mexico, home of the first professional engineering school in the Americas. Contributors focus on the influential role of engineers, especially civil engineers, but also mining engineers, military engineers, architects, and other infrastructural and mechanical technicians. During the mid-nineteenth century, a period of immense upheaval and change domestically and globally, troubled governments attempted to expand and modernize Mexico’s engineering programs while resisting foreign invasion and adapting new Western technologies to existing precolonial and colonial f...
Climate Refugees
In a world where temperatures fluctuate and extreme weather has become commonplace, several populations have already found themselves unable to survive in their homeland. Droughts, flooding, and crop failures have caused famine, while extreme weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes have destroyed homes and, at times, whole villages.

La primera parte de este libro se dedica a la crónica de algunos procesos primordiales de la sociedad civil en México desde 1985. En la segunda se reproduce la crónica de Carlos Monsiváis escrita en los días del terremoto, en esos meses de dolor, confianza y energía de la comunidad imaginada.
