Estudios de casos de la economía ambiental en Colombia
La economía ambiental es aquella rama del análisis económico que sugiere la aplicación de algunos métodos que permitan valorar económicamente los recursos naturales, fortaleciendo el concepto de valoración ambiental, que tiene como propósito asignar un valor monetario al daño realizado al recurso natural, al ecosistema o bien a las externalidades o fallas del mercado ocasionadas por las actividades económicas que pueden repercutir positivamente o negativamente a un agente económico, a un bien o a un recurso natural.
Problem-Based Learning: A Didactic Strategy in the Teaching of System Simulation
This book describes and outlines the theoretical foundations of system simulation in teaching, and as a practical contribution to teaching-and-learning models. It presents various methodologies used in teaching, the goal being to solve real-life problems by creating simulation models and probability distributions that allow correlations to be drawn between a real model and a simulated model. Moreover, the book demonstrates the role of simulation in decision-making processes connected to teaching and learning.
Movimientos indígenas identidad y nación en Bolivia y Ecuador
Una de las transformaciones más importantes en la América Latina contemporánea es el reconocimiento del Estado plurinacional en las nuevas constituciones políticas de Bolivia y Ecuador. Este trabajo realiza una genealogía del proceso que condujo a tal declaración, remontándose a la fundación de ambas repúblicas a principios del siglo XIX. Analiza las luchas en torno al significado de estas naciones en distintos momentos, la forma cómo los proyectos hegemónicos de nación, agenciados por las élites de ambos países, intentaron articular los indígenas; pero también la manera en que los indígenas resistieron esos intentos, se articularon persiguiendo sus propios intereses o plantearon sus propios proyectos de nación.
The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773–1814: Survival, Setbacks, and Transformation
The forty-one years between the Society of Jesus’s papal suppression in 1773 and its eventual restoration in 1814 remain controversial, with new research and interpretations continually appearing. Shore’s narrative approaches these years, and the period preceding the suppression, from a new perspective that covers individuals not usually discussed in works dealing with this topic. As well as examining the contributions of former Jesuits to fields as diverse as ethnology—a term and concept pioneered by an ex-Jesuit—and library science, where Jesuits and ex-Jesuits laid the groundwork for the great advances of the nineteenth century, the essay also explores the period the exiled Society spent in the Russian Empire. It concludes with a discussion of the Society’s restoration in the broader context of world history.
Restorative Justice, Self-interest and Responsible Citizenship
Lode Walgrave has made a highly significant contribution to the worldwide development of the restorative justice movement over the last two decades. This book represents the culmination of his vision for restorative justice. Coming to the subject from a juvenile justice background he initially saw restorative justice as a means of escaping the rehabilitation-punishment dilemma, and as the basis for a more constructive judicial response to youth crime that had been the case hitherto. Over time his conception of restorative justice moved in the direction of focusing on repairing harm and suffering rather than ensuring that the youthful offender met with a 'just' response, and encompassing the ...
Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship
The world is undergoing unprecedented changes in many of the factors that determine its fundamental properties and their in- ence on society. These changes include climate; the chemical c- position of the atmosphere; the demands of a growing human population for food and ?ber; and the mobility of organisms, ind- trial products, cultural perspectives, and information ?ows. The magnitude and widespread nature of these changes pose serious challenges in managing the ecosystem services on which society depends. Moreover, many of these changes are strongly in?uenced by human activities, so future patterns of change will continue to be in?uenced by society’s choices and governance. The purpose o...
Municipal Forest Management in Latin America
The book was written for three different purposes: (i) better understand the types of powers assigned to municipalities to this day, (ii) better understand the increasingly important role played by municipalities in forest management, (iii) analyze the opportunities that were created and the challenges faced by the decentralization processes in the region. The book compiles findings from in-depth studies conducted in 6 countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. It uncovers some significant forest management schemes initiated by municipalities on the regional, na.

The second edition of this successful text features the addition of Robert Foley, a leading researcher in Human Evolutionary Studies, to the writing team. Strong emphasis on evolutionary theory, ecology and behavior and scores of new examples reflect the latest evoluti...
The Garden Next Door
A Chilean writer named Julio and his wife, Gloria, are at a low point in their lives. Constantly bickering, the pair are beset by worries about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest profession in Marrakesh). When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both - but in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocratic woman who inhabits it. But Julio's life - and career - unravel In Madrid: he is rebuffed by a famous literary agent, Nuria Monclus, who detests him and his novel; his son's friend from Marrakesh moves in and causes havoc; and Gloria begins to drink. In the face of pitiless adversity, Julio's talent inexorably begins to fade. The garden next door, however, is also Gloria, who has been doing some creating of her own. It is this twist that transforms Donoso's brilliant satire of the writer's life into something even greater: a carefully crafted and bitteily comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse.
