Un libro encantador, son varias historias de amor de personajes que mucho tuvieron que ver con el México de hoy. Algo meloso en algunas ocasiones, lo que habla de un escritor enamorado, de un escritor que mucho ha amado en su vida, de un hombre que ve a la mujer con respeto, lo cual se refleja a la hora de escribir estas historias encantadoras.

Francisco Cruz Jimenez
Francisco Cruz Jiménez (México, 1956), merecedor de la presea Estado de México “José María Coss” en 1997 y autor de El Cártel de Juárez (2008) y coautor de Negocios de familia. Biografía no autorizada de Enrique Peña Nieto y el Grupo Atlacomulco (2009) presenta este año una investigación periodística para dejar en claro los pormenores de la expansión del crimen organizado en el estado mexiquense, en el que se ubican quince de los municipios más peligrosos del país.
Tierra narca es así, una revelación sobre las zonas de alta rentabilidad para los cárteles de la droga, como Luvianos, Coacalco, Huixquilucan, Ixtapan de la Sal y Metepec; este último, centro de planeación y uno de los diez ayuntamientos más ricos del país gracias a la llegada de las familias de los capos encarcelados en Almoloya. Cruz jiménez ha puesto en evidencia un secreto a voces: el Estado de México es la economía más poderosa del país también, desde el 2005, es un “paraíso del delito, patrocinado y protegido por las propias autoridades.”

Matthew R Des Lauriers
Located off the west coast of the Mexican state of Baja California, Isla Cedros — Island of Fogs — is site to some of the most extensive and remarkable archeological discoveries on the continent. Two sites dated to before 12,000 cal BP have been excavated, as well as portions of two large village sites dated to the last one thousand years. Among the artifacts discovered are the earliest fishhooks found on the continent.
Drawing on ten years of his own historical, ethnographic, and archaeological research, Matthew Des Lauriers uses Isla Cedros to form hypotheses regarding the ecological, economic, and social nature of island societies. Des Lauriers uses a comparative framework in order to examine both the development and evolution of social structures among Pacific coast maritime hunter-gatherers as well as to track patterns of change.
Because it examines the issue of whether human populations can intensively harvest natural resources without causing ecological collapse, Island of Fogs provides a relevant historical counterpart to modern discussions of ecological change and alternative models for sustainable development."

Since 1987, when the global community first recognized the high frequency of women in developing countries dying from pregnancy-related causes, little progress has been made to combat this problem. This study follows the global policies that have been implemented in Solola, Guatemala in order to decrease high rates of maternal mortality among indigenous Mayan women.
The author examines the diverse meanings and understandings of motherhood, pregnancy, birth and birth-related death among the biomedical personnel, village women, their families, and midwives. These incongruous perspectives, in conjunction with the implementation of such policies, threaten to disenfranchise clients from their own cultural understandings of self. The author investigates how these policies need to meld with the everyday lives of these women, and the failure to do so leads to a failure to decrease maternal deaths globally.

When Nell Farrell traveled to Nicaragua in the fall of 2005 the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) had recently been passed in the U.S. Congress and was still being debated by the Nicaraguan Asamblea Nacional.
Farrell spent three months photographing and interviewing young working people who would be affected by the agreement and whose lives were already shaped by the low-wage global economy. Focusing on workers in four regions--young women in the factories of Managua's Free Trade Zone, dairy farmers and cattlemen in the interior state of Matagalpa, laborers in the sugarcane fields of Chinandega, and indigenous lobster divers on the Miskito Coast--this project investigates how globalization, with all of its economic and cultural implications, comes to bear on the young generation of Nicaraguans who share a birthday with the revolution that attracted such intense foreign attention from the late 1970s to 1990.
Aiming to show the impact of foreign trade policy on distant countries, Farrell weaves together interviews, intimate photographs, and her own observations to illustrate the relationship between Nicaraguan laborers, international politics, and global markets.
