This book looks at the circulation features of the Southern Hemisphere, both for the atmosphere and oceans. It includes observational techniques based on satellites, anchored and drifting buoys, and the research carried out at research stations in the Southern Hemisphere.

It has been revised and updated in 1999, following the expansion of research bases and the development of research in the region at the time.
Through the lens of political economy, this book positions housing as a key factor in understanding social inequality. It does so by drawing on rich empirical evidence from the case of the Chilean housing market. This book provides insights on the articulation between real estate development, housing provision and social inequality based on applied urban economics analyses that illustrate the contradictions of neoliberal urbanism through the case of Chile. For neoliberal urbanism, the good city is not equal for all, it is based on the principle of profitability and benefits from segregation to make capital investment more efficient. The chapters of this book expose how these processes are generated by a political system that allows them rather than by the invisible hand of the market. The book will be of interest to graduate students in urban studies, urban planning, sociology and urban geography. It will also appeal to decision-makers and also to actors in the real estate market seeking to perfect the social benefits of their professional activities, aspiring to generate more egalitarian and just cities.
Political sociology is a large and expanding field with many new developments, and The New Handbook of Political Sociology supplies the knowledge necessary to keep up with this exciting field. Written by a distinguished group of leading scholars in sociology, this volume provides a survey of this vibrant and growing field in the new millennium. The Handbook presents the field in six parts: theories of political sociology, the information and knowledge explosion, the state and political parties, civil society and citizenship, the varieties of state policies, and globalization and how it affects politics. Covering all subareas of the field with both theoretical orientations and empirical studies, it directly connects scholars with current research in the field. A total reconceptualization of the first edition, the new handbook features nine additional chapters and highlights the impact of the media and big data.
Explores the variation in welfare and other social assistance policies in Latin America.
Este libro es un buen ejemplo de que, en cuanto a contenidos de una nueva Constitución, se partirá de una hoja en blanco, pero no por ello se hará de cero. Chile tiene una historia constitucional y una doctrina del mismo tipo enriquecida hasta hoy por el estudio, la reflexión y la pluma de sus constitucionalistas, muchos de ellos jóvenes con un alto grado de preparación. Esa historia y esa doctrina, por distintas que sean las interpretaciones de la primera, y por muchos que sean los desacuerdos en la segunda, son una base sólida, como este mismo libro lo acredita, para celebrar y no para temer el proceso constituyente que se abrió en noviembre de 2019.

El gol. No hay otra pasión humana que cristalice de modo tan fugaz las esperanzas de gloria, o que derrumbe de manera tan efímera los sueños de años. No hay otros apetitos que se sacien con semejante paroxismo, o anhelos que implosionen como respuesta a tal frenesí. Los fanáticos del tenis pueden celebrar unas 30 veces por set. Los incondicionales del básquetbol de la NBA, 55 por partido. Las hinchadas del último mundial de rugby, 7,3 por encuentro. Pero los feligreses de Wembley o del Maracaná solo pueden liberar sus gritos contenidos 1,3 ocasiones por match. Exiguas 1,3 exaltaciones por cada noventa minutos de dientes apretados y uñas desgastadas. La escasez vuelve al gol la gema...

Praised by some as islands of efficiency in a sea of unprofessional, politicized, and corrupt states, and criticized by others for removing wide areas of policy making from the democratic arena, technocrats have become prominent and controversial actors in Latin American politics. Through an in-depth analysis of economic and health policy in Colombia from 1958 to 2011 and in Peru from 1980 to 2011, Technocracy and Democracy in Latin America explains the source of these experts' power as well as the leverage they have across state policy sectors in Latin America.
