La urbanización es un proceso imparable. Para 2050 la ONU calcula que 70% de las 9,700 millones de personas que habitarán la Tierra lo hará en zonas urbanas.

A partir del análisis de la producción habitacional actual y de fenómenos como la transformación del paisaje metropolitano y la pérdida de los ecosistemas fluviales, se presentan líneas de trabajo, que van desde la construcción de un marco conceptual para e...
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In the early 1990s, a second type of programmed cell death, autophagy, came into focus. Autophagy has been studied in mammalian cells for many years. The recen

"The world is ready for her blend of insane Angela Carter with the originality of Clarice Lispector."—Mariana Enriquez, LitHub Delicately crafted, intensely visual, deeply personal stories explore the nature of memory, family ties, and the difficult imbalances of love.

Her stories have no equal in our literature."––Jorge Luis Borges "I don't know of another writer who better captures the magic inside everyday rituals, the forbidden or ...
La Colección Miradas hacia la Sustentabilidad surge como una iniciativa del equipo de los posgrados en sustentabilidad del Departamento del Hábitat y Desarrollo urbano (DHDU), la cual tiene como objetivo sistematizar la producción académica y de investigación, así como los trabajos de obtención de grado que surgen, tanto de la Maestría en Proyectos y Educación Sustentables como de la Maestría en Ciudad y Espacio Público Sustentable. Dentro de esta colección se plantea un ejercicio periódico en el que cada libro será un esfuerzo por aportar desde diversas perspectivas, disciplinas y enfoques, alternativas concretas a distintas problemáticas de la sustentabilidad y al mismo tiempo, posicionan en el debate académico, una serie de reflexiones críticas sobre los temas prioritarios que tanto en los posgrados en sustentabilidad como en el DHDU se abordan, considerando la viabilidad y las implicaciones de estos planteamientos realizados por académicos, profesionales y estudiantes, en la práctica profesional y la investigación, tanto en el contexto nacional como en el internacional.
