Socially Just Mining
In this book we consider ways in which mining companies do and can/should respect the human rights of communities affected by mining operations. We examine what "can and should" means and to whom, in a variety of mostly Peruvian contexts, and how engineers engage in "normative" practices that may interfere with the communities' best interests. We hope to raise awareness of the complexity of issues at stake and begin the necessary process of critique—of self and of the industry in which an engineer chooses to work. This book aims to alert engineering students to the price paid not only by vulnerable communities but also by the natural environment when mining companies engage in irresponsible and, often, illegal mining practices. If mining is to be in our future, and if we are to have a future which is sustainable, engineering students must learn to mine and support mining, in new ways—ways which are fairer, more equitable, and cleaner than today.

Reckoning with Harm
"The book aims to clarify what it means to be harmed by the petroleum extraction industry and how residents of Amazonia have in fact been harmed. The author critiques legalistic, technocratic definitions of harm, which are routinely used to deny accountability for widespread industry-driven damage and examines the contingencies involved in building an evidentiary base that takes into consideration not only legal documents, scientific studies, and soil samples but also the feel of crude between the fingers, family stories of miscarriages and polluted streams, "toxic tours" arranged for tourists, and political campaigns to call for corporate accountability"--
Pluralistic Struggles in Gender, Sexuality and Coloniality
This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations, states, and national territories. The collection represents a variety of disciplines, and different theoretical conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.
Socially Just Mining: Rethoric Or Reality? Lessons from Peru
In this book we consider ways in which mining companies do and can/should respect the human rights of communities affected by mining operations.

If mining is to be in our future, and if we are to have a future which is sustainable, engineering students must learn to mine and support mining, in new ways-ways which are fairer, more equitable, and cleaner than today.

Andean Hydrology
This book describes the ecosystem of the Andean watersheds, covering the Californian valley, tropical Andes, and southern Andes. Case studies of the new methods and techniques used for hydrological research in the Andes are provided, and sustainability issues pertaining to Andean water resources are discussed in the context of climate change, social and economic issues, and public policy. Furthermore, the impact of economic development on the Andean ecosystem, specifically the effect on the water cycle and the water-energy-food nexus, are examined.
Wewnętrzne wojny
Reportaże Josepha Zárate – laureata nagród im. Ortegi y Gasseta w 2016 oraz Gabriela Garcíi Márqueza w 2018 są o ludziach, którzy muszą stawić czoło potężnym przeciwnikom, żeby bronić swoich rodzin, ziem i przekonań. Trzy pozornie różne historie, które rozgrywały się w Ameryce Łacińskiej, łączą się ze sobą w wielu punktach. Ich bohaterami są zwyczajni ludzie, którzy reprezentują nadzwyczajne postawy. Asháninkowie z Saweto wraz z Edwinem Chotą walczą z nielegalną wycinką drzew. Ich sprzeciw wobec nadużyć władzy spotyka się z krwawymi represjami, a sam Chota płaci najwyższą cenę za chęć pomocy innym. Máxima Acuña – prosta kobieta zajmująca się uprawą roli – staje się ikoną walki o prawa do ziemi w Peru i nieustępliwym przeciwnikiem dla przedsiębiorstwa wydobywającego złoto. Osman Cuñachí jest jedenastoletnim chłopcem, który bardzo wcześnie poznał co to bieda, cierpienie i kłamstwo. Firma, która doprowadziła do skażenia wody w jego miejscowości, zmienia życie mieszkańców na zawsze.
