Sentencias relevantes en materia de igualdad y no discriminación
La discriminación es un problema estructural. Prejuicios, estereotipos y estigmas son prácticas que vulneran la dignidad humana y, en pleno siglo XXI, por sorprendente que parezca, impiden el pleno goce de ciertos derechos como el trabajo, la seguridad social, la educación y la impartición de justicia. Sentencias relevantes en materia de igualdad y no discriminación, es un libro que analiza la compleja situación nacional en materia de exclusión. Muestra, también, algunos criterios jurisprudenciales que han contribuido en la construcción de un Estado comprometido con la igualdad sustantiva. La discriminación es una realidad y debemos visibilizar el fenómeno, así como reconocer el trabajo que han emprendido los gobiernos —federal y locales— y diversas instituciones para afrontarlo. La lucha contra la discriminación demuestra que, a través de las diversas herramientas del derecho, es posible mejorar la vida de las personas y construir una sociedad más incluyente e igualitaria.
SENTENCIAS FEMINISTAS
Este libro es una manifestación de política prefigurativa de tipo jurídico. Una forma de activismo en la que un grupo adopta las estructuras y el estilo de razonamiento que promueve, modelando los objetivos políticos y sociales que se persiguen, bajo la premisa de dejar de lado la creencia de la inevitabilidad de las estructuras existentes y emprender la experiencia de poner en práctica ideas atrevidas. La reescritura de sentencias no es la única modalidad de política prefigurativa de tipo jurídico que existe, pero es una de las que más ha llamado la atención del pensamiento feminista e igualitario en los años recientes. Esta obra constituye el primer ejercicio de este tipo en Mé...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The Continuity of Linguistic Change
The Continuity of Linguistic Change presents a collection of selected papers in honour of Professor Juan Andrés Villena-Ponsoda. The essays revolve around the study of linguistic variation and the mechanisms and processes associated with linguistic change, a field to which Villena-Ponsoda has dedicated so many years of research. The authors are researchers of renowned international prestige who have made significant contributions in this field. The chapters cover a range of related topics and provide modern theoretical and methodological perspectives, addressing the structural, cognitive, historical and social factors that underlie and promote linguistic change in varieties of Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The reader will find contributions that explore topics such as phonology, acoustic phonetics and processes deriving from the contact between languages or linguistic varieties, specifically levelling, koineisation, standardisation and the emergence of ethnolects.
Transforming REDD+
Constructive critique. This book provides a critical, evidence-based analysis of REDD+ implementation so far, without losing sight of the urgent need to reduce forest-based emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. REDD+ as envisioned
Valorisation of Agro-industrial Residues – Volume II: Non-Biological Approaches
The world’s population is expected to reach the eight billion mark very soon. As a result, there is a need for increased industrial and agricultural production to ensure human wellbeing. This in turn generates huge amounts of waste. Current waste treatment solutions are effective, but usually require huge capital investment, are labour intensive and potentially lead to hazardous by-products. This book presents the latest non-biological approaches to address issues related to the abundance of waste, offering insights into best practices in various regions around the globe. It highlights techniques such as chemical extraction, pyrolysis and ultrasonics, and a number of chapters include individual case studies to further enhance readers’ understanding. This comprehensive reference resource is intended for graduate students, researchers and scientists, and is also a valuable addition to all agriculture and biotechnology libraries.
Prosopis as a Heat Tolerant Nitrogen Fixing Desert Food Legume
Prosopis describes the enormous historical importance of these trees as a human food source and reviews the contemporary food science of the fruit derived from these trees. As well, this treatise reviews the native genetic resources of this genus on 4 continents and classical genetic and horticultural techniques that could help stabilize the environment and alleviate human suffering on some of the world's most destitute agro-ecosystems. This book is an essential read for researchers interested in forestry and plant science, environmental science, and functional foods. The legume family (Fabaceae) contains many genera and species that through their nitrogen fixing process provide high protein...
Backroads Pragmatists
Like the United States, Mexico is a country of profound cultural differences. In the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution (1910-20), these differences became the subject of intense government attention as the Republic of Mexico developed ambitious social and educational policies designed to integrate its multitude of ethnic cultures into a national community of democratic citizens. To the north, Americans were beginning to confront their own legacy of racial injustice, embarking on the path that, three decades later, led to the destruction of Jim Crow. Backroads Pragmatists is the first book to show the transnational cross-fertilization between these two movements. In molding Mexico's ambitio...
The Great Tamaulipan Natural Province
The Tamaulipan Province stretches 55,000 square miles along the Tropic of Cancer, from the northernmost Mexican states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipus, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz all the way to southwest Texas. Home to such varied species as the ocelot and the prairie dog, as well as rare birds like the green-cheeked amazon and the crimson-collared grosbeak, it is one of the most diverse regions in North America--and one of the most threatened. The exquisite result of a partnership among Mexican non-governmental organizations, Agrupación Sierra Madre, and the Tamaulipus state government of Mexico, The Great Tamaulipan Natural Province explores this natural paradise and captures its incredible geographical diversity--lagoons, plains, deserts and mountains--through the lens of a camera. Each photograph argues powerfully and persuasively for the preservation of this unique and beautiful environment. A superb contribution to the study of North American wildlife, The Great Tamaulipan Natural Province is a must-read for scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and anyone concerned about our rapidly diminishing natural world.
