O Direito ambiental, passou a ser visto como disciplina jurídica autônoma a partir da contribuição da Ecologia, por volta dos anos cinquenta do século passado. Hoje, em pleno século XXI, vivencia-se um mundo interconectado, com relações instantâneas e que a cada dia exige uma visão jurídica comparada, até porque, quando diante de assuntos afetos ao ambiente, o produzido por uma determinada localidade pode afetar outra a quilômetros de distância. Sendo assim, idealizou-se uma obra sob a perspectiva ibero-americana onde cada autor se comprometeu a estudar os principais aspectos e institutos do Direito ambiental de seu país, seguindo um norte traçado pelos diretores e coordenadores desta obra. O objetivo foi propiciar ao leitor a possibilidade de diferenciar e estabelecer as semelhanças entre este ramo do direito em diferentes países. Espera-se que essa obra permita que seu leitor consiga comparar os diferentes regimes jurídicos por elas disciplinados.

Esta obra, que recopila una serie de artículos sobre temas comunes al derecho privado y al derecho del medio ambiente, es un homenaje al doctor Fernando Hinestrosa (Rector del Externado entre 1963 y 2012) quien apoyó con generosidad y grandeza estas ramas de la ciencia jurídica. El texto busca propiciar un diálogo académico en un escenario de confluencia de las dos ramas del derecho abordando cuestiones tan diversas e interesantes como el análisis histórico de los antecedentes romanos con respecto a la regulación de las instituciones medioambientales, el estudio de la forma como las instituciones tradicionales del derecho privado se han visto afectadas o transformadas por la función de protección ambiental del derecho, la responsabilidad por daños al medio ambiente, y finaliza con una exposición de algunas experiencias internacionales en la materia.
PRESENTACIÓN El derecho de aguas es una rama del ordenamiento jurídico cuyo conocimiento se hace urgente en la medida que los conflictos por el recurso hídrico se incrementan y las dificultades en la gobernanza del agua se hacen más evidentes. Es por ello que desde la academia sigue siendo relevante impulsar las investigaciones y promover la socialización del conocimiento que se genera desde el ámbito universitario.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Written in three parts, War Trilogy is a dazzling and anarchic exploration of social relations which offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of humanity, history, violence, art and science. The first part follows a writer who travels to the small, uninhabited island of San Simon, where he witnesses events which impel him on a journey across several continents, chasing the phantoms of nameless people devastated by violence. The second book is narrated by Kurt, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their mythical first voyage to the moon. Now living in Miami, an ageing Kurt revisits the important chapters of his life: from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In the third part, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the Normandy coast with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, the memory of another trip taken years before. On her journey along the rugged coastline, she comes across a number of locals, but also thousands of refugees newly arrived on Europe's shores, whose stories she follows on the TV in her lodgings.
