Reimagining the Gran Chaco
This volume traces the socioeconomic and environmental changes taking place in the Gran Chaco, a vast and richly biodiverse ecoregion at the intersection of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Representing a wide range of contemporary anthropological scholarship that has not been available in English until now, Reimagining the Gran Chaco illuminates how the region’s many Indigenous groups are negotiating these transformations in their own terms. The essays in this volume explore how the region has become a complex arena of political, cultural, and economic contestation between actors that include the state, environmental groups and NGOs, and private businesses and how local actor...
Frontera argentino-paraguaya ante el espejo, La (eBook)
La frontera argentino-paraguaya ante el espejo se centra en el análisis de las regiones del Gran Chaco y del Oriente de la República del Paraguay en el periodo histórico contemporáneo. Las zonas fronterizas entre Paraguay y Argentina nos muestran el peso histórico de las poblaciones originarias, así como el significado del diseño de las naciones y de los dispositivos estatales desde el siglo xix. En el contexto de la celebración del Bicentenario de la Independencia de la República del Paraguay (1811-2011), los autores y las autoras de este libro esperan que la obra permita dibujar la porosidad y el paisaje de la zona que abre sus puertas en la Triple Frontera, en la región del Gran Chaco y en el espacio oriental paraguayo. La divulgación de la investigación colectiva, interuniversitaria e interdisciplinaria, del proyecto de investigación «Educación y ciudadanía: modelos de difusión de valores, instituciones democráticas y construcción del Estado en Paraguay» (2009-2012) es posible gracias a las subvenciones otorgadas por la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional y Desarrollo (AECID).

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics represent one of the most successful forms of therapy in medicine. But the efficiency of antibiotics is compromised by the growing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Antibiotic resistance, which is implicated in elevated morbidity and mortality rates as well as in the increased treatment costs, is considered to be one of the major global public health threats (www.who.int/drugresistance/en/) and the magnitude of the problem recently prompted a number of international and national bodies to take actions to protect the public (http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_consumer/docs/road-map-amr_en.pdf: http://www.who.int/drugresistance/amr_global_action_plan/en/; http://www.whitehouse....
Why INEGI? The saga of a Mexican institution in search of the truth
The book presents the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, what is and how it has developed over time, since it was founded in 1983. The Institute is today an eminently technical and at the same time autonomous body of the Mexican State.Beyond a chronology of events, this book raises two needs that have marked the Institute's evolution: the first, to properly measure the many components of reality, whether social, economic or natural; and the second, decisive for the public's trust and whose absence would invalidate the purposes of the previous need, to preserve the information from any consideration, other than strictly professional, in all stages of its production and dissemination.This work conveys INEGI's transcendence as an indispensable institution for the country to respond to the fundamental question, common to all human beings: to know and understand the reality of their environment.
