This anthological edition is a well-deserved tribute on the life work of Bostelmann (b. Mexico), one of Mexico's most noted late 20th century photographers. This photographic retrospective presents his striking b/w photographs of desolated and rainy places, nude figures, the town of Cuetzalan, political meetings, children and his ironic color series (CrÑnica de familia, la vida en breve, gallo). Bostelmann was against what he called the "current use and abuse of digital elements" to enhance photography.

"Six essays approach the history of Mexican railroads from the perspective of the 'new economic history.' See especially Soto's essays on the relationship between industry and railroads in Monterrey, and Grunstein Dickter on the difference in approach between the científicos and the Carrancistas; however, all essays are important and well done.
