: Una Visión From the Preface by Paul Ganster "Tijuana 1964: A Photographic and Historical View, was designed to present the remarkable photographs taken in Tijuana in June 1964 by Harry Crosby. The book was published in 2000 and included an essay by historians Paul Ganster, of San Diego State University, and David Piñera Ramírez and Antonio Padilla Corona, both of the Institute for Historical Research at the Autonomous University of Baja California in Tijuana, that set the context for the photographs. The book included 42 photographs in addition to the front cover and the back cover. The publication of Tijuana 1964 was accompanied in October 2000 by an exhibit of selected images organized by Tijuana's Casa de la Cultura.¶ By 2013, the participants in the original publication, which has long been out of print, realized that the 50th anniversary of the photographs was fast approaching. Pedro Ochoa Palacio, Director General of the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT), suggested that his institution might be interested in collaborating on a new edition of Tijuana 1964 and the participants in the first edition responded enthusiastically to the proposal. ¶The second edition, or the Commemorative Edition, differs from the first in a number of ways. Most importantly, the new publication includes 20 additional photographs and also replaces three of the original images due to technical reasons, for a total of 23 new photographs. All of the additional photographs were made by Harry Crosby during the same two-week period in June of 1964, as those in the first edition. Also, the Commemorative Edition has a revised text that sets the context for the photographs and also provides a discussion of the changes that are evident in Tijuana after 50 years.  |
 Imperial-Mexicali Valleys Edited by K. Collins, P. Ganster, C. Mason, E. Sanchez Lopez, and M. Quintero-Nunez. pp. 462. US$12.50 The Imperial-Mexicali valley is a region defined by its location along the U.S.-Mexican border and through the management of its natural resources. Its complexities are based in the initial settlement of an area believed to be uninhabitable, but through perseverance and ingenuity of individuals over 100 years ago, developed into a productive agricultural region. The border also has had a profound affect on its growth by providing access to a binational labor force and through the impacts of industrialization of Mexico's northern border. The editors of this text selected 30 essays from regional scholars that discuss these central themes and provide an understanding of the regional dynamics. The topics covered include history and government, economy and agriculture, environmental concerns and natural resources, and social trends and culture. This collection is one of the first to be published in English regarding this binational region and is an important contributor to the discussion of future development and growth of the Imperial-Mexicali valley.

 Tijuana River Watershed Atlas The
Tijuana River Watershed Atlas is a pioneering
effort by San Diego State University researchers
and their partners in Tijuana and San Diego to
harmonize data across the international boundary
and to provide stakeholders and decision-makers
with comprehensive information about this
important region. The atlas, made up of
large-format sheets in a boxed edition, is
comprised of some 80 photographs, maps, and text
in English and Spanish. The atlas captures the
diversity, complexity, and dynamism of a
1,750-square-mile drainage basin that lies astride
the U.S.-Mexican international border. This work
covers many issues pertaining to the watershed,
including its physical characteristics and its
human and environmental aspects. This bilingual
atlas is the result of the collaboration of many
organizations and individuals from the United
States and Mexico, especially from El Colegio de
la Frontera Norte and San Diego State University
and is published by San Diego State University
Press and the Institute for Regional Studies of
the Californias with assistance from SDSU's
Department of Geography and from the Southwest
Consortium for Environmental Research and Policy.
According to atlas co-editor Richard Wright of
SDSU, "developing information for the entire
binational watershed is absolutely essential to
plan for the future, to avoid environmental
problems that will negatively affect the quality
of life of the watershed's 1.4 million residents,
and to take advantage of binational synergies for
sustainable regional development."
