La cultura editorial universitaria
La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México es la decana de las editoriales universitarias en México, pues comenzó a editar desde su fundación en 1910. Sus ediciones han servido de modelo para el libro académico mexicano que, por lo general, tiene su origen en las investigaciones realizadas en sus cubículos y laboratorios. Esa vocación de creación y difusión del libro ha mostrado la Universidad cuando en la década de 1920 abrió campañas para alfabetizar al país y cubrir el territorio mexicano de bibliotecas; cuando desde hace más de 90 años inició los cursos de profesionalización para editores; cuando en 1938 introdujo a México los primeros tipos de imprenta matemáticos, astronómicos, químicos y griegos; y cuando ha venido organizando la feria del libro de mayor tradición en el país. El sello editorial universitario es de abolengo porque tiene historia pero también es de pervivencia porque se ha preocupado por dar continuidad a los proyectos, por mirar hacia el futuro. Cultura editorial universitaria es un examen de esa historia y del sistema que la mantiene vigente.
Urban Policy in Latin America
This book evaluates the impact of 20 years of urban policies in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Social Sciences
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world....

Water and Urban Development Paradigms
Communication across and integration of disciplines in the urban-water sector seems today more imperative than ever before. Water is a strategic and shrinking resource. It is probably the world's most valuable resource and clean water has even been touted as the 'next oil'. Control of water - from access to management - has always been a
Locating Right to the City in the Global South
Drawing from scholars with extensive fieldwork experience, this volume covers sixteen cities in fourteen countries across a belt stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, and into Asia. Central to what binds these cities are deeply rooted, complex, and dynamic processes of social and spatial division that are being actively reproduced. These cities are not so much fracturing as they are being divided by governance practices informed by local histories and political contestation, and refracted through or infused by market based approaches to urban development. Through a close examination of these practices and resistance to them, this volume provides perspectives on neoliberalism and right to the city that advance our understanding of urbanism in the Global South.
