Estudios culturales : prácticas diversas, enfoques pluralistas
Desde el ámbito de los estudios culturales plantea un acercamiento teórico y metodológico multidisciplinar en el que a partir de la reflexión y el estudio de casos se analizan problemáticas reales de la historia de la cultura mexicana.Ciencia y humanismo, empirismo y reflexión son las caras de la moneda de una tendencia epistemológica que en las últimas décadas se ha planteado en el ámbito de la investigación sociológica y antropológica bajo el marbete de estudios culturales, con el objetivo de aprehender el complejo funcionamiento de los procesos culturales en las sociedades modernas. Recoge colaboraciones que abordan aspectos esenciales en el debate sobre los estudios cultural...
Seagrass Ecology
Seagrasses occur in coastal zones throughout the world, in the part of the marine habitat that is most heavily influenced by humans. Decisions about coastal management therefore often involve seagrasses, but a full appreciation of the role of seagrasses in coastal ecosystems has yet to be reached. This book provides an entry point for those wishing to learn about the ecology of this fascinating group of plants, and gives a broad overview of current knowledge, complemented by extensive literature references to guide the reader to more detailed studies.
Blue Carbon
This report explores the potential for mitigating the impacts of climate change by improved management and protection of marine ecosystems and especially the vegetated coastal habitat, or blue carbon sinks. The objective of this report is to highlight the critical role of the oceans and ocean ecosystems in maintaining our climate and in assisting policy makers to mainstream an oceans agenda into national and international climate change initiatives. While emissions' reductions are currently at the centre of the climate change discussions, the critical role of the oceans and ocean ecosystems has been vastly overlooked.
Household Strategies for Survival 1600-2000
This book considers the 'labouring poor' not simply as victims, but as actively pursuing a whole range of strategies for survival. These strategies included many economic activities. Building and maintaining networks of kinship and neighbourhood was equally important, as was negotiating support from institutions. Sometimes, strategies were successfully integrated within a household, while in other instances the domestic group was split and members preferred to pursue individual strategies. This illuminating book examines the European past using case studies from present-day situations in Asia and Africa.
Advances in Coastal Geoarchaeology in Latin America
This book introduces selected contributions from the GEGAL (Spanish acronym for Latin American Geoarchaeological Studies Group) Workshop held at La Paloma Beach, Uruguay, with a focus on Coastal Geoarchaeology, and an attendance of more than 50 researchers, students and professionals from several Latin American countries. The contributions were selected in order to encompass the vast array of environmental, geomorphological and archaeological contexts comprised in the geographical frame of Latin America. Topics covered through the chapters include specific issues such as human occupation and fluvial dynamic processes in mountain and lowland environments, methodological developments in dating methods, taphonomy and chemical proxies, as well as landscape modification by anthropogenic disturbances. As the first compilation of Coastal Geoarchaeology for Latin America, this book is intended to become a useful tool for students, researchers and professionals from related fields, as it comprises not only the regional state of the art, but also new insights and developments which can be potentially applied to other contexts world wide.
The Medieval Heritage of Mexico
This book examines the medieval legacy that influences life in Spanish-speaking North America to the present day. Focusing on the period from 1517?the expedition of Hernandez de Cordoba?to the middle of the seventeenth century, Weckmann describes how explorers, administrators, judges, and clergy introduced to the New World a culture that was essentially medieval. That the transplanted culture differentiated itself from that of Spain is due to the resistance of the indigenous cultures of Mexico.
Anthropogenic Soils
This book is a state-of-the-art review of the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of anthropogenic soils, their genesis morphology and classification, geocultural setting, and strategies for reclamation, revitalization, use and management.
Evolution in Isolation
Tests for repeated patterns in evolution of island plants, which together comprise an 'island syndrome' analogous to animals.
Conservation and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
During the recent years there is a growing concern for the conservation and management of our rivers, reservoirs and many aquatic ecosystems including wetlands, beels and lakes. All these systems are mismanaged due to lack of scientific data and proper evaluation of ecosystem functions to evolve an approach towards a right management. There are serious water problems and most of the river waters are not used even for irrigation and swimming purposes due to the poor water quality. The aim of this book is to provide its readers an acquaintance of the ecology of waterbodies from different parts of India. For this purpose 15 papers including reviews contributed by experts from different educatio...
