This book embraces an emerging paradox of human geography: the growth of cities along international boundaries. For many years the world system was ordered in such a way that international boundaries remained essentially free of human settlement. In the last three decades, however, the axioms of traditional geopolitical organization have been shattered; in a number of areas in the world, including the United States-Mexico, United States-Canada, and western European border regions, boundaries have come to house large-scale cities. -- From Preface (page xi).

From 1985 to 1994 there existed a significant but unheralded experiment in professional baseball. For ten seasons, the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos (The Owls of the Two Laredos) were the only team in professional sports to represent two nations. Playing in the storied Mexican League (an AAA affiliate of major league baseball), the "Tecos" had home parks on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, in Laredo, Texas and in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. In true border fashion, Mexican and American national anthems were played before each game, and the Tecos were operated by interests in both cities. Baseball on the Border is the story of the rise and unexpected demise of this surprising team. For Alan Klein, a cultural anthropologist specializing in sport, "the border" is almost a nation of its own. Having formed teams of players from both sides of the Rio Grande for almost a century, organizers and followers of the "Border Birds" often join forces but just as frequently squabble with each other in a chronic border tension. Throughout the book, Klein includes firsthand observations of the team and descriptions of its players. Readers will meet Dan Firova, the Tecos' beleaguered manager, a border-region native who nevertheless finds himself a target of the Mexican media. The "Ugly American," Willie Waite, is a young pitcher whose stunning success does nothing to diminish the disdain he has for his Mexican teammates. Ernesto Barraza, "The Trickster," once threw a no-hitter on only seventy-three pitches (on April Fool's Day, appropriately enough), but occasionally shows up at the park missing part of his uniform. And then there is Andres Mora, an aged slugger who, despite three seasons in major league baseball and a life of personal excesses, came within a few home runs of setting the all-time Mexican League record. This is just part of the roster of the Tecos and only a fraction of the lineup of Baseball on the Border. Anyone with an interest in baseball will be enlightened and entertained by this informative book.

In the United States, cheap products made by cheap labor are in especially high demand, purchased by men and women who have watched their own wages decline and jobs disappear. Looking South examines the effects of race, class, and gender in the development of the low-wage, anti-union, and state-supported industries that marked the creation of the New South and now the Global South. Workers in the contemporary Global South--those nations of Central and Latin America, most of Asia, and Africa--live and work within a model of industrial development that materialized in the red brick mills of the New South. As early as the 1950s, this labor model became the prototype used by U.S. companies as they expanded globally. This development has had increasingly powerful effects on workers and consumers at home and around the world. Mary E. Frederickson highlights the major economic and cultural changes brought about by deindustrialization and immigration. She also outlines the events, movements, and personalities involved in the race-, class-, and gender-based resistance to industry’s relentless search for cheap labor.
Borges 2.0: From Text to Virtual Worlds analyzes Jorge Luis Borges's «The Library of Babel», «The Garden of Forking Paths», and «The Intruder» from a tripartite perspective that encompasses literature, science, and technology. This book underscores developments in chaos theory during the 1980s and their intricate connections with Borges's works and the digital world. Without losing sight of this critical framework, this study also takes into account Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome theory and Umberto Eco's theory on labyrinths. Borges 2.0 is unique in its analysis of how Borgesian texts relate to science and technology at the same time that science and the virtual world illuminate Borges's texts to provide a new reading of his work.

"Nestled between Texas and Mexico, the city of Laredo was a conventional border town, nurturing cultural ties across the border, attracting occasional tourists, and populated with people living there for generations. This book examines the existing economic and cultural infrastructure of the city, its interdependence with its sister city across the national boundary, and, most importantly, the resilience of the community to adapt to and even challenge the national narrative on the border"--

"A book that every householder should keep at home and study to improve his household" - Kamakoti Prasada Rao. Along with the writing on the forehead, the position of the planet and the house also contribute to a certain extent to the survival of a human being. Planetary remedies have been prescribed since Vedic times to provide remedies for the problems caused by planets. Similarly, Vaastu Shastra provides practical instructions to remove the problems brought about by households and to live happily ever after. Earlier, Shri Gauru Tirupati Reddy Garu (Prodduthuru) from our region provided the books "Vastu Shastra Suktulu" and "Vastu Shastra Facts". Dr. Rasavihari Henry (Madanapalle) has published a century explaining the sayings of Vastu Shastra in the crown of "Vaastu Vammu Kaadu Vastavammu". It is in that context that Manyasri Kuntamukkala Subrahmanyam Naidu, who is currently a head of education, a trilingual expert, an astrologer, a great architect, and a retired teacher, has published a Vaastu shastra book titled "Digvijayam". In this book, the precious things related to the eight directions, which are divided into eight sections, are written in such a way that even a common man can understand them easily. Explaining how any home can have all the comforts if it has a proper Vaastu, after the rise of civilization, the supremacy of the Rishyasrams has decreased a little and the changes in the modern systems have been explained and pointed out how necessary the architectural structures are even in the modern times. Direction - Antidirections Description, Direction sections are excellent with regular diagrams, and the description of best - worst (Uccha - Neecha) positions is very good. An explanation of the pros and cons of planetary influence on major directions is optional. In the eighth section, the Eight directions are given in full detail, and the practical aspects of science are explained in full detail. As this book is a useful book not only for scholars but also for common people, this book preaches the need for every householder to keep this book at home and study it and get all the benefits to improve their house. Writer Sri Kuntamukkala Subrahmanyam Naidu was my teacher. I studied Hindi with them along with other subjects and became proficient in that language as well. He worked as a dedicated Telugu Teacher at Giri Rao Theosophical High School and was a poet who knew the secrets of poetry and education. Their education services are commendable. The services rendered by 9 DIGVIJAYAM them to society in connection with those fields, who have studied extensively on the sciences of astrology, vaastu are priceless. Born on 01-09-1951 to the late Sri Lakshmaiah Naidu and Mrs. Nagamma, who were natives of Diguvamagham village, Chittoor district, Mr. Subrahmanyam Naidu was educated at Sri Malayala Swami Oriental College affiliated to Erpedu Ashram and experienced depth in culture, science studies etc. Later settled in Madanapalle and organized community services. I offer my salutations to them, rejoicing at the privilege of being able to write four words on his great book.
