This open access Regional Reader describes how Mexico - United States migration changed substantially during the first decade of the 21st Century. The book provides an in-depth analysis on the changes in the flows into and out of both countries, thus highlighting the issues arising from Mexico - US migration as well as addressing the large numbers of adults and children entering Mexico from the United States. It covers how this tidal change affects the Hispanic population of the U.S. and return migrants' reincorporation in Mexico; their jobs, access to school, health and access to health services, how fear became a dominant aspect of Mexicans lives in the U.S., and the role played by crime and social policy in Mexico.

Il est 21 heures, Barbara et Maxime s'écroulent dans le canapé. Ils viennent de coucher le petit dernier. Il leur faut encore s'organiser pour la journée de demain. Maxime quittera la maison à l'aube pour éviter les embouteillages et Barbara suivra pour une présentation du travail d'une année à ses employeurs. Qui s'occupera des enfants ? Les esprits s'échauffent autour du même débat : il faut que l'un d'eux passe à 80% pour prendre soin des enfants et de la maison. Comme nombre de nos contemporains, Barbara et Maxime ressentent de plus en plus le manque de temps pour leur travail, leurs enfants et leur couple. Ils se sentent souvent prisonniers d'un rythme de vie toujours plus soutenu, soumis à des arbitrages permanents entre vie professionnelle, vie familiale et vie personnelle. Issu des recherches en cours sur l'accélération sociale et les rythmes de vie individuels ou collectifs, cet ouvrage milite pour un changement de regard sur les sociétés contemporaines en proposant une approche rythmique de la mobilité et des modes de vie. Cette proposition s'appuie sur l'analyse des comportements spatio-temporels et du rapport au temps chez des couples biactifs qui doivent concilier famille, travail et mobilité quotidienne. Les résultats mettent en perspective les importantes tensions liées à la gestion des temps quotidiens et suggèrent des formes de vulnérabilités temporelles qu'il s'agit de prendre en compte. Ils témoignent aussi des aptitudes développées par les couples pour gérer ces contraintes et des formes de mobilisation des ressources déployées dans la conduite de la vie quotidienne.

Visual processing refers to the ability to perceive three-dimensional images. To accomplish this, our eyes have to be perfectly tuned and work together. Each eye perceives a slightly different image that the brain then has to unite into a single three-dimensional picture. This book explains the motor and sensory steps necessary for forming binocular and stereo vision, discusses tests to assess the different steps and describes disruptions that can occur in the eyes and the brain. Because of the sensitivity of the developing child's eye, the book also addresses the assessment of children's vision. This book will appeal to ophthalmologists, paediatricians, neurologists and other interested readers.

Transnational Flows and Permissive Polities examines how legality and other sources of authority intersect in the regulation of human mobility. The book focuses on the ethnographic exploration of the experiences and views of mobile subjects in the vast and rapidly changing continent of Asia.
