Tropical Forests
Tropical forests occupy only one-tenth of the world's land area but are home to more than half of the world's flora and fauna. They comprise extremely complex labyrinth of ecological interactions. The astounding richness and biodiversity of tropical forests are rapidly dwindling. There is a fear that the burgeoning human population and industrialization, where a majority of these tropical forests are found, may lead to the clearing or modification or may be a complete disappearance of the remaining tropical forests within few decades. This has severely altered the vital biogeochemical cycles of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and so on and has led to the change in global climate and pristine n...

Taiwan’s COVID-19 Experience
This book explores and develops the ongoing conversation about how Taiwan navigated through the COVID-19 pandemic. Emphasizing the themes of governance and governmentality, it moves the foci of the discussion from COVID policies to the social and political orders undergirding the statecraft of pandemic management. Furthermore, it analyzes how the pandemic fostered a historical moment at which new forms of governance and governmentality were beginning to take root. It also situates Taiwan’s precarious nationhood in its global context, thereby challenging a prevalent methodological nationalism – the assumption that the nation is a natural unit of analysis whose borders are more or less unquestioned – and contributing to decolonizing Western theories with perspectives from the Global South. Presenting rich original materials on the legal and public debates, individual reflections, and grassroots campaigns during COVID, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of Taiwan's governance and social health policy, as well as medical anthropology and sociology.

Uncertain Times
In this first-ever collection of labor anthropology from around the world, the contributors to Uncertain Times assert that traditional labor unions have been co-opted by neoliberal policies of corporate capital and have become service organizations rather than drivers of social movements. The current structure of labor unions facilitates corporations’ need for a stable labor force while reducing their power to prevent outsourcing, subcontracting, and other methods of undercutting worker security and union power. Through case studies from Switzerland, Israel, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Greece, Sweden,Turkey, Brazil and Spain, the authors demonstrate that this process of neutering...

Perú en los tiempos de la Gran Colombia
Este libro se centra en cuatro plataformas temáticas que intentan aproximarse al contexto de la independencia durante los gobiernos de San Martín y Bolívar en el Perú. Primero se analizan los proyectos políticos que se plantearon en el siglo XIX, de tendencia liberal, que llevaron a cambiar la propuesta de una monarquía constitucional a una alternativa republicana. Luego, se habla sobre la guerra, la población y la etnicidad para estudiar las agendas políticas de los sectores populares, sobre todo en cuanto a la abolición de la esclavitud, la ciudadanía republicana y la situación del indígena en este período de transición. Asimismo, se toca el tema de la educación, la sociabilidad y el género, en especial el papel de la mujer en las independencias de Perú, México y Chile. Por último, se analiza el impacto del Congreso Anfi ctiónico de Panamá de 1826, convocado por Bolívar, reconocido como el embrión de la Organización de Estados Americanos, para concluir con el análisis del denominado panamericanismo bolivariano.
