Modernización y nacionalismo de la arquitectura mexicana en cinco voces: 1925-1980
Los discursos teóricos de José Villagrán García, Luis Barragán, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Juan O’Gorman e Ignacio Díaz Morales son el cimiento a través del cual la autora asienta su búsqueda de los elementos que llevaron a la construcción de un país modernizado, lleno tanto de contradicciones, rivalidades y antagonismos como de acuerdos y reconocimientos. Más allá todavía, y desde una lectura estructuralista de la cultura, en donde un contexto y una sociedad específicos se interrelacionan con la producción y la toma de posturas de los diversos actores, Yolanda Bojórquez parte del análisis del discurso de los cinco arquitectos —todos ellos clave en el siglo XX en México—, para abrir la puerta a la configuración de una teoría de la arquitectura, un campo por lo general descuidado en nuestro país. Esta obra nos permite un acercamiento teórico especializado y apasionante, dirigido a estudiantes y profesionales de la arquitectura, así como a cualquier lector interesado en la arquitectura y su evolución en México y en la historia cultural que durante el siglo pasado constituyó esta nación.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Making Moral Judgments
This fascinating new book examines diversity in moral judgements, drawing on recent work in social, personality, and evolutionary psychology, reviewing the factors that influence the moral judgments people make. Why do reasonable people so often disagree when drawing distinctions between what is morally right and wrong? Even when individuals agree in their moral pronouncements, they may employ different standards, different comparative processes, or entirely disparate criteria in their judgments. Examining the sources of this variety, the author expertly explores morality using ethics position theory, alongside other theoretical perspectives in moral psychology, and shows how it can relate t...

Urban Informatics
This open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently – to become ‘smart’ and ‘sustainable’. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the pot...
