Special Economic Zones in Africa
"This book, designed for policymakers, academics and researchers, and SEZ program practitioners, provides the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of SEZ programs in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the result of detailed surveys and case studies conducted during 2009 in ten developing countries, including six in Sub-Saharan Africa. The book provides quantitative evidence of the performance of SEZs, and of the factors which contribute to that performance, highlighting the critical importance not just of the SEZ itself but of the wider national investment climate in which it functions. It also provides a comprehensive guide to the key policy questions that confront governments establishing SE...
Arlington Park
Con un estilo elegante, lúcido, analítico y transido de una belleza estremecida, Rachel Cusk, comparada a menudo con Virginia Woolf, ha construido una de las piezas narrativas más ambiciosas e hipnóticas de la reciente literatura anglosajona. En su sexta novela, Rachel Cusk, una de las escritoras más prestigiosas e innovadoras del panorama literario internacional, indaga con valentía en las zonas más oscuras de la sociedad contemporánea. El título hace referencia a un modernobarrio residencial del centro de Inglaterra, donde varias familias de clase media fingen que no han renunciado a la vida. La acción transcurre a lo largo de un solo y lluvioso día, y en cada capítulo conocemos la intimidad, la frustración, el deseo, el odio o incluso la locura de varias mujeres, esposas y madres, enfrentadas a su soledad, a la tiranía de la maternidad o a los claroscuros del matrimonio. Nada escapa a la fulminante miradade Cusk, capaz de desnudar sin piedad la apariencia paradisíaca de unas calles ajardinadas frecuentadas por bicicletas y niños. Un mundo terriblemente real.
Saving the Gray Whale
Once hunted by whalers and now the darling of ecotourists, the gray whale has become part of the culture, history, politics, and geography of Mexico's most isolated region. After the harvesting of gray whales was banned by international law in 1946, their populations rebounded; but while they are no longer hunted for their oil, these creatures are now chased up and down the lagoons of southern Baja California by whalewatchers. This book uses the biology and politics associated with gray whales in Mexican waters to present an unusual case study in conservation and politics. It provides an inside look at how gray whale conservation decisions are made in Mexico City and examines how those polic...

Socio-ecological Studies in Natural Protected Areas
This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems. From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required for the integration of “human” and “natural” dimensions in the management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and professionals all over the world, especially those working in Latin American countries.

Agroforestry for Soil Management
Agroforestry refers to land use systems in which trees or shrubs are grown in association with agricultural crops, or pastures and livestock. From its inception, it has contained a strong element of soil management. Well-designed and managed agroforestry systems have the potential to control run-off and erosion, maintain soil organic matter and physical properties, and promote nutrient cycling. By these means, agroforestry can make a major contribution to sustainable land use. The previous edition of this book, entitled Agroforestry for Soil Conservation (1989), was based on indirect evidence from agriculture, forestry and soil science. The present work provides a new synthesis, drawing on o...
