Análisis del sector biodiésel en Colombia y su cadena de suministro
La dicotomía entre protección del medio ambiente y producción energética ha tenido en los biocombustibles una promisoria salida para resolver tanto los efectos del cambio climático como la sostenibilidad energética del mundo. Este libro contiene los resultados de una investigación financiada por la Gobernación del Atlántico, con recursos del Fondo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación del Sistema General de Regalías, y orientada a promover el desarrollo del sector biodiésel en este departamento. La obra presenta el análisis de la actual situación del sector de biodiésel en Colombia, sus potencialidades e integración con otros elementos de su cadena productiva, desde la perspectiva económica y de mercado. Con ello se espera contribuir al debate económico acerca de los biocombustibles en Colombia, con miras a lograr la consolidación de una política pública coherente y alineada con los intereses generales que por su amplitud —medio ambiente y energía— transcienden las fronteras nacionales.

Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter in the Age of Velázquez
Diego Velázquez’s portrait of Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608–1670) has long been a landmark of European art, but this provocative study focuses on its subject: an enslaved man who went on to build his own successful career as an artist. This catalogue—the first scholarly monograph on Pareja— discusses the painter’s ties to the Madrid School of the 1660s and revises our understanding of artistic production during Spain’s Golden Age, with a focus on enslaved artists and artisans. The authors illuminate the highly skilled labor within Seville’s multiracial society; the role of Black saints and confraternities in the promotion of Catholicism among enslaved populations; and early twentieth-century scholar Arturo Schomburg’s project to recover Pareja’s legacy. The book also includes the first illustrated and annotated list of known works attributed to Pareja.
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.
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo stepped into the limelight in 1929 when she married Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. She was twenty-two; he was forty-three.

Today, almost six decades after her untimely death, Kahlo’s fame rivals that of Rivera and she has gained international acclaim as a path-breaking artist and a cultural icon. Cutting through “Fridamania,” this book explores Kahlo’s life, art, and legacies, while also scrutinizing the myths, contradictions, and ambiguities that riddle her dramatic story. Gannit Ankori examines Kahlo’s ...
