São Paulo--born Arthur Casas (born 1961) is an architect equally at ease in the areas of residential architecture, commercial spaces, real estate development and design. "I experienced the best period of Brazilian architecture, when anything was possible," he explains, "including designing a whole city, reorganizing the way of life in urban areas. I brought from my childhood ... this freedom, and a commitment to modernist principles." With offices in São Paulo and New York, Casas does owe some of his variety to his native Brazil, but has shown his capacity to create surprise in his designs. At over 300 pages, this hardcover monograph is a tribute to one of the most significant living Latin American architects.

Tropical coastal lagoon environments provide a number of ecosystem services, but are threatened by the pressure imposed by human activities and climatic change; these systems are particularly vulnerable because of a high demographic growth. Therefore, the understanding of their ecological behavior and the characterization of lagoon health indicators have attained importance. Under this perspective Mexican (UAM-X) and French (UMRs MIO and MARBEC) researchers have collaborated from 2011 to 2014 as part of one action of the international exchange program ECOS/ANUIES, and chose the Sontecomapan lagoon (at the Mexican state of Veracruz) as a case study. This book provides information of the ecological behavior, water quality indicators, and details of microorganisms and plankton, which due to their short life cycles and their high reactivity to environmental conditions are good.
