Nature-Based Solutions for Cities
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. It is free to read, download and share on Elgaronline.com. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly being adopted to address climate change, health, and urban sustainability, yet ensuring they are effective and inclusive remains a challenge. Addressing these challenges through chapters by leading experts in both global south and north contexts, this forward-looking book advances the science of NBS in cities and discusses the frontiers for next-generation urban NBS.
Familias fundadoras de Chile, 1601-1655
Investigación genealógica e histórica de las familias que se establecieron en el territorio de Chile durante el siglo XVI al XVII y que dejaron descendencia por línea de varón hasta hoy. La mayor parte de las familias son de orígen español, con algunas excepciones de orígen italiano y portugués. Las familias están ordenadas en forma cronológica, según su orden de aparición en Chile.
Economía regional y urbana: el espacio importa
Este libro es un análisis de los principales problemas que plantea la economía cuando se incorpora el espacio geográfico y político. Su objetivo es explicar de manera didáctica las teorías económicas y de economía política que analizan los fenómenos que se dan en el espacio y en el tiempo en un país determinado, en sus regiones y sus ciudades. Entre las teorías que presenta están la microeconómica, insumo-producto, macroeconómica, crecimiento en el espacio, centro y periferia, geografía económica, economía urbana, las instituciones en el espacio, la economía política clásica y moderna, y la centralización y concentración política y económica. En su conjunto permite tener una aproximación analítica y con aplicaciones empíricas al complejo problema de la economía y la sociedad en el espacio. Está destinado a los estudiosos de los problemas espaciales, regionales y urbanos, en un nivel introductorio y de manera didáctica. También a funcionarios públicos de los distintos niveles de gobierno, empresarios, y promotores de desarrollo local y regional.

Fruit and Vegetable Phytochemicals
Fruit and Vegetable Phytochemicals: Chemistry, Nutritional Value and Stability provides scientists in the areas of food technology and nutrition with accessible and up-to-date information about the chemical nature, classification and analysis of the main phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables – polyphenols and carotenoids. Special care is taken to analyze the health benefits of these compounds, their interaction with fiber, antioxidant and other biological activities, as well as the degradation processes that occur after harvest and minimal processing.
Advanced Studies in Efficient Environmental Design and City Planning
This book explains how learning from past mistakes in urban design can help to enhance sustainable cities and how the principles of Green Urbanism can yield more resilient urban settlements. Environmental design is a fundamental principle in shaping cities. However, environmental challenges like increased resource consumption, water degradation and waste-related issues are among the greatest problems now facing humanity – which is why these issues need to be considered with regard to “smart cities,” either for the development of new urban centers or for the transformation of existing cities. The book not only discusses the importance of integrating sustainability principles in the urban design process, but also demonstrates their application to the development of sustainable cities. As such, the book offers essential information and a source of inspiration for all those who want to build more sustainable cities.
Water Resources of Chile
Chile is a privileged country in terms of water resources, with an average annual runoff of approximately 50,000 m3/person. However, water availability varies enormously in space, as less than 1,000 m3/person are available for more than 50% of the population. The temporal and spatial distribution of water resources is driven by processes highly variables across a country with different climates explained not only by a large range of latitudes (from 17° to 56° south), but also the presence of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes with peaks up to 7000 m. This geography makes of Chile a true natural laboratory in which water is essential for the society and the economy of the country. The relevanc...
Coasts
Coasts are some of the most rapidly changing places on earth. Understanding the natural adjustments that occur between coastal landforms and the processes that influence them is essential for the better management of coastal resources. Coasts provides a necessary background in geomorphology for those studying coastal systems. It describes the landforms that occur on the coast, their responses to the processes that shape them, and the pattern of evolution that can be determined for different types of coast over thousands of years. Numerous examples from around the world are used to illustrate the variety of environments. Particular attention is paid to coastal morphodynamics, the co-adjustment of process and form, on rocky, reef, sandy, deltaic-estuarine and muddy coasts. This valuable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students is well illustrated and contains an extensive reference section. It will also be of great interest to environmental scientists, geologists, coastal managers and planners.
