A partir de octubre de 2019 hemos presenciado un abrupto abandono de la apatía por comprender cómo funciona el país, pasando a una especie de despertar que quedó grabado en la consigna “Chile despertó”. Temas como la estructura política nacional, las formas de gobierno y, particularmente, la Constitución de la República, adquirieron gran interés para la ciudadanía, convirtiendo a la Constitución en el libro más vendido del pasado año. Pero, ¿qué se puede extraer de un texto jurídico que se presenta sin acompañamiento, sin una guía para comprender los diversos conceptos, sobre todo en una materia tan subjetiva como el derecho y las leyes? Para ayudar a la reflexión sobr...
Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters. This Special Report explores the social as well as physical dimensions of weather- and climate-related disasters, considering opportunities for managing risks at local to international scales. SREX was approved and accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 18 November 2011 in Kampala, Uganda.
Summarizes the science of climate change and impacts on the United States, for the public and policymakers.
"Miserias del poder" pretende contribuir a que el debate público sobre el franquismo incluya en su agenda no sólo el importantísimo problema de la represión sino también el del funcionamiento, e intereses, del poder o las actitudes políticas de sus apoyos sociales. Entender críticamente, y en toda su amplitud, la dictadura nos permitirá valorar su lugar en nuestra historia contemporánea y comprender las razones de su «olvido».
“A very wise book, and it is written in the most beautiful, precise and definitive prose.” -La Nirgad, Ha’aretz Literary Supplement “Sometimes one had the experience of reading a book and just falling in love with it-because it is so well written, so moving, and it gets into your soul. That was my experience when I read The Confessions of Noa Weber .” -Eleonora Lev, Ha’aretz Acclaimed middle-aged writer Noa Weber-acclaimed both as a writer and as one of Israel’s leading feminists-has all the trappings of a successful “feminist” life: She has a strong career, a wonderful daughter she raised alone, and she’s a respected cultural figure. Yet her interior life is inextricably...
Energy markets are already undergoing considerable transitions to accommodate new (renewable) energy forms, new (decentral) energy players, and new system requirements, e.g. flexibility and resilience. Traditional energy markets for fossil fuels are therefore under pressure, while not-yet-mature (renewable) energy markets are emerging. As a consequence, investments in large-scale and capital intensive (traditional) energy production projects are surrounded by high uncertainty, and are difficult to hedge by private entities. Traditional energy production companies are transforming into energy service suppliers and companies aggregating numerous potential market players are emerging, while reg...
Despite the diverse interests of Presidents, Congress, and the State Department, this book argues that US foreign policy on transitional justice is surprisingly consistent, characterised by an approach that is value-driven, strategic, and retributive, and that has influenced the field as a whole.
UV-Visible Spectrophotometry of Water and Wastewater is the first book dedicated to the use of UV spectrophotometry for water and wastewater quality monitoring. Using practical examples the reader is shown how this technique can be a source of new methods of characterization and measurement. Easy and fast to run, this simple and robust analytical technique must be considered as one of the best ways to obtain a quantitative estimation of specific or aggregate parameters (eg. Nitrate, TOC), and simultaneously qualitative information on the global composition of water and its variation.* First electronic library of UV-spectra providing data readily available for researchers and users* Provides a theoretical basis for further research in the field of spectra exploitation* Contains helpful practical applications
This manual is intended to provide clear operational guidance on the benchmarking of regulatory systems for medical products and the development of institutional development plans (IDPs) to address areas for improvement. The manual is integral to the World Health Organization’s structured and evidence-based approach to regulatory systems strengthening (RSS), mandated by World Health Assembly resolution WHA 67.20. The manual serves to ensure a proper understanding of the Global Benchmarking Tool (GBT); the processes and principles that govern its use; the expectations of individuals and institutions involved; and the information management systems that underpin the collection, analysis and management of data and the generation of knowledge.
Finalist for the NBCC Award in Criticism, this collection is riotous, especially the piece about smashing a minibar.
