Harmony and Symmetry. Celestial regularities shaping human culture.
For the SEAC conference in Graz (2018) and for the Proceedings the motto "Harmony and symmetry - celestial regularities shaping human culture" was chosen. There were at least two strong reasons for this motto: First, the connection between astronomy and human culture has an extremely long tradition, and one of its absolute high points is the astronomer Johannes Kepler, who spent his entire life searching for the relationship between the movement of heavenly lights and ideas about harmonious structures and regular bodies. Kepler started his scientific career and authored his first book, the Mysterium cosmographicum, in Graz. Kepler argued in his first publication for the twelve-fold partition...
Aspectos astronómicos de la arquitectura maya en la costa nororiental de la península de Yucatán
Una investigación arqueoastronómica que realizamos recientemente en el área maya mostró que las orientaciones en la arquitectura de la costa nororiental de la península de Yucatán se caracterizan por algunas peculiaridades que no hemos podido explicar satisfactoriamente. Con el objetivo de adquirir información adicional, en noviembre de 2015 medimos las orientaciones de 34 estructuras en 21 sitios arqueológicos. El libro presenta los resultados de este trabajo, así como algunos análisis en los que se consideraron todos los datos disponibles sobre las orientaciones en la costa nororiental. La distribución de los datos revela que el porcentaje de orientaciones relacionadas con el So...
Orientaciones astronómicas en la arquitectura de Mesoamérica: Oaxaca y el Golfo de México
El libro presenta los resultados del estudio sistemático de las orientaciones en la arquitectura prehispánica de dos subáreas de Mesoamérica. Con las mediciones en campo obtuvimos datos sobre las orientaciones de los edificios cívicos y ceremoniales en 42 sitios arqueológicos en las regiones culturales de Oaxaca y el Golfo de México. Asumiendo que se distinguen por ciertas peculiaridades culturales, analizamos los datos de una y otra región por separado, empleando una metodología más rigurosa de la implementada en la mayoría de estudios anteriores. Los resultados de los análisis indican que las orientaciones eran funcionales ante todo o exclusivamente en sentido este-oeste, refir...
Appel
Appel: A Canadian in the French Foreign Legion is the first-hand account of the author’s six years as a professional soldier during the 1990s, and his experience in the Legion's elite Groupe des Commandos Parachutistes (GCP). Joel Struthers recounts the dangers and demands of military life, from the rigours of recruitment and operational training in the rugged mountains of France, to face-to-face combat in the grasslands of some of Africa’s most troubled nations. Told through the eyes of a soldier, and interspersed with humorous anecdotes, Appel is a fascinating story that debunks myths about the French Foreign Legion and shows it more accurately as a professional arm of the French military. Struthers provides insight into the rigorous discipline that the Legion instills in its young recruits, – who trade their identities as individuals for a life of adventure and a role in a unified fighting force whose motto is “Honour and Loyalty.” Foreword by Col. Benoit Desmeulles, former commanding officer of the Legions 2e Régiment Étranger Parachutistes.
Siete Miradas Al Comercio En México
La Fundación Guendabi’chi’ A.C., dirigida por Alberto Adrián de León Leal, con auxilio de un sólido, grande y cordial equipo coordinado por Viridiana Rivera Solano, tuvo a bien conjuntar un grupo de estudiantes de Historia, Historia del Arte, Etnohistoria, Arqueología y otras disciplinas afines para encauzar esfuerzos acerca de una breve historia del comercio. Desde varias posturas de interés personal y académico, siete jóvenes enfrentaron el tema y propusieron ideas novedosas y polémicas. Así, el lector tiene en sus manos -y ante sus ojos-, sendos textos donde se discuten asuntos referidos a la música prehispánica según el Códice Florentino; a la historia reciente de los f...
Landet under landet
For 500 år siden blev den storslåede aztekiske hovedstad, Tenochtitlan, erobret af spanske conquistadorer og deres indianske allierede. Snart efter lå dette drømmesyn af en by i ruiner. I dag ligger Tenochtitlan begravet under Mexico City – som en by under byen og et stærkt vidnesbyrd om Mexicos fascinerende historie. Overalt i det centrale og sydlige Mexico findes ruinbyer, tempelpyramider og paladser med vægmalerier og rige grave fra en lang række af de højt udviklede kulturer, der tilsammen udgjorde den mesoamerikanske civilisation. I Landet under landet rejser vi til syv af de mest berømte og storslåede af disse ruinbyer, herunder Teotihuacan og Palenque. Undervejs fortælles...
Vegetation Index and Dynamics
The book contemplates different ways of approaching the study of vegetation as well as the type of indices to be used. However, all the works pursue the same objective: to know and interpret nature from different points of view, either through knowledge of nature in situ or the use of technology and mapping using satellite images. Chapters analyze the ecological parameters that affect vegetation, the species that make up plant communities, and the influence of humans on vegetation.

Implementing Value Capture in Latin America
The report examines a variety of specific instruments and applications in municipalities throughout the region under three categories: property taxation and betterment contributions; exactions and other direct negotiations for charges for building rights or the transfer of development rights; and large-scale approaches such as development of public land through privatization or acquisition, land readjustment, and public auctions of bonds for purchasing building rights. It concludes with a summary of lessons learned and recommends steps that can be taken in three spheres: Learn from Implementation Experiences Increase Knowledge about Theory and Practice Promote Greater Public Understanding and Participation
