Bagres de la Amazonia Colombiana: Un recurso sin frontera
El libro bagres de la amazonia colombiana: un recurso sin fronteras, presenta información sobre el uso regional que se le da a los grandes y medianos bagres amazónicos. Dentro de la amplia diversidad de peces de la amazonia colombiana, son trece bagres los que soportan gran parte del entrame socio-económico que beneficia a cientos de familias ribereñas (indígenas y colonas) a lo largo de los ríos Guaviare, Caquetá, Putumayo y Amazonas. El libro es una síntesis del acompañamiento realizado a las pesquerías de la región a lo largo de tres años de investigación desarrollada por el Instituto Amazónico de Investigaciones Científicas Sinchi y presenta información sobre los procesos sociales y económicos de la pesca de bagres, el entorno vivo y abiótico del elemento agua y la biología de los peces en cuanto al comportamiento alimentario, procesos reproductivos y los efectos que la pesca tiene dentro del ciclo de vida de estas especies. El libro finaliza, con sugerencias para continuar procesos de investigación en el tema y para avanzar en el ordenamiento de este recurso pesquero en la Amazonia
The Data Science Design Manual
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
How Big (Small?) are Fiscal Multipliers?
We contribute to the intense debate on the real effects of fiscal stimuli by showing that the impact of government expenditure shocks depends crucially on key country characteristics, such as the level of development, exchange rate regime, openness to trade, and public indebtedness. Based on a novel quarterly dataset of government expenditure in 44 countries, we find that (i) the output effect of an increase in government consumption is larger in industrial than in developing countries, (ii) the fisscal multiplier is relatively large in economies operating under predetermined exchange rate but zero in economies operating under flexible exchange rates; (iii) fiscal multipliers in open economies are lower than in closed economies and (iv) fiscal multipliers in high-debt countries are also zero.
The Monfort Plan
The Monfort Plan is a five-year, forward looking plan to eradicate extreme poverty from the developing world, and details how microfinance has made a difference to developing countries. This book proposes a new institution based in the developing world with the potential to provide a basic, free, and universal service in the areas of water, sanitation, healthcare, and education to the extreme poor worldwide. The provision will be subject to a certain degree of conditionality in areas ranging from corruption to legal environment. The new institution will be established in a new international territory based within a specific country in Subsaharan Africa and will emerge in 2015. In The Monfort...
Stream Ecology
Running waters are enormously diverse, ranging from torrential mountain brooks, to large lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy subcontinents. While this diversity makes river ecosystems seem overwhelmingly complex, a central theme of this volume is that the processes acting in running waters are general, although the settings are often unique. The past two decades have seen major advances in our knowledge of the ecology of streams and rivers. New paradigms have emerged, such as the river continuum and nutrient spiraling. Community ecologists have made impressive advances in documenting the occurrence of species interactions. The importance of physical processes in rivers...
Systemic Functional Linguistics
This stimulating volume provides fresh perspectives on choice, a key notion in systemic functional linguistics. Bringing together a global team of well-established and up-and-coming systemic functional linguists, it shows how the different senses of choice as process and as product are interdependent, and how they operate at all levels of language. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it covers a range of linguistic viewpoints, informed by evolutionary theory, psychology, sociology and neuroscience, to produce a complex but unifying account of the issues. This book offers a critical examination of choice and is ideal for students and researchers working in all areas of functional linguistics as well as cognitive linguistics, second-language acquisition, neurolinguistics and sociolinguistics.
Performing Remains
'At last, the past has arrived! Performing Remains is Rebecca Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic. Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments.' - Tavia Nyong'o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University 'I have often wondered where the big, important, paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider’s book seems to me to ...
Performativity in the Gallery
This book responds to the increase in live art programmed in many galleries and museums. The essays challenge the exclusion of live art from the the art history canon and explore participation, interactivity, digital and performative practices as presented in gallery spaces. Contributors include curators, academic scholars and practicing artists.
