De la transición hacia sociedades sostenibles
El objetivo que los autores pretenden con esta publicación es el de establecer las bases teóricas de una política para la transición hacia sociedades sostenibles sobre la Idea de Justicia en un contexto de decrecimiento sobrevenido.La originalidad de dicho propósito está en el reconocimiento explícito de que nuestra actual coyuntura climática es tecnológica y económicamente incorregible. Por tanto, a partir de esos primeros resultados recogidos en esta obra, si los análisis son ciertos, parece que lo más sensato es tratar de anteponer todo tipo de cautelas que nos preparen para un forzoso y problemático cambio sociocultural caracterizado por una creciente escasez en el que aún ...
Cation Binding by Humic Substances
The first comprehensive account of these important environmental interactions, this book describes the binding reactions, how they can be mathematically modelled, and how this knowledge is used to interpret environmental phenomena in soils, waters and sediments. A valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, environmental scientists, ecologists and geochemists.
Improving the Stability of Meshed Power Networks
The work in this thesis proposes the innovative use of modern technologies and mathematical techniques to analyse and control future power systems. It exploits new enabling technologies such as Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) lines, both single and multi-terminal, and Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) to reduce the risks of instability associated with greater utilisation of modern power systems. New control systems for these technologies have been analysed, and subsequently designed, using advanced probabilistic analysis techniques to ensure that they are robust to the variable and turbulent conditions expected in the future. The advanced probabilistic techniques used in the thesis for both system analysis and controller design represent one of the first such applications in open literature.
Land Change Science, Political Ecology, and Sustainability
Recent claims regarding convergence and divergence between land change science and political ecology as approaches to the study of human-environment relationships and sustainability science are examined and analyzed in this innovative volume. Comprised of 11 commissioned chapters as well as introductory and concluding/synthesis chapters, it advances the two fields by proposing new conceptual and methodological approaches toward integrating land change science and political ecology. The book also identifies areas of fundamental difference and disagreement between fields. These theoretical contributions will help a generation of young researchers refine their research approaches and will advance a debate among established scholars in geography, land-use studies, and sustainability science that has been developing since the early 2000s. At an empirical level, case studies focusing on sustainable development are included from Africa, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. The specific topics addressed include tropical deforestation, swidden agriculture, mangrove forests, gender, and household issues.

Rosa Parks
New in the Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the incredible life of Rosa Parks, ' The Mother of the Freedom Movement', in this inspiring ebook. In this true story of an inspiring civil rights activist, Rosa Parks grew up during segregation in Alabama, but she was taught to respect herself and stand up for her rights. In 1955, Rosa refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her decision had a huge impact on civil rights, eventually leading to the end of segregation on public transport. With stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the end, this empowering series of ebooks celebrates the important life stories of won...
El cuarenta y cinco
Por su amenidad y su fundamentación documental es un clásico de la literatura política argentina. Félix Luna reconstruyó en este libro la insólita y apasionante experiencia política que derivó en la clausura del tradicional régimen de partidos y abrió paso a una nueva perspectiva histórica. ¿Por qué el 45? Porque fue un año decisivo, en cuyo transcurso se determinó el sentido que tendría la próxima década argentina. Y no solamente porque el entonces coronel Perón haya llegado al poder e iniciado su hegemonía, sino porque el país entero decidió entonces adquirir un determinado estilo político y asumir una determinada conciencia. Ciertos valores cayeron para siempre y otros quedaron afirmados, también para siempre, en 1945. Probablemente no haya año del siglo XX que señale una transición nacional con caracteres tan claros y netos. Además, el 45 estuvo lleno de hechos singulares, quizás irrepetibles, que adquirieron una fecunda perspectiva histórica en la medida que se los analice tratando de llegar al fondo del asunto.
Aquaculture: Ocean Blue Carbon Meets UN-SDGS
This book presents a solutions based approach to reducing and removing CO2 from the atmosphere transforming it into solid (crystalline) CaCO3 through the ability of marine organisms such as molluscs, crustacea, corals, and coccolithophore algae. The overwhelming advantage of this approach is that it promises enhanced climate mitigation in comparison to planting forests, industrial/engineering carbon capture and storage process. It also provides a sustainable food resource. Furthermore, it would improve the ocean's biodiversity at the same time as the excess atmospheric CO2 released by our use of fossil fuels is returned to the place it belongs - as a present day fossil, safely out of the atmosphere to the distant future. If the level of finance and global effort that are readily foreseen for forest management and flue gas treatments were applied to expansion of global shellfish cultivation, curative amounts of carbon dioxide could be permanently removed from the atmosphere within a few decades. The concept presented in this book could have a profound influence on the life of the planet.
