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.
Global Lessons from the AIDS Pandemic
We began to research for this book in 2000, with the idea that we might contribute to the search for solutions to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic by c- bining perspectives from different disciplines. Much has happened in the interv- ing years. First, the severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa – and the threat it posed for many others regions of the world – led to a movement among several countries to correct the imbalance between producers and users of ph- maceutical products. This effort produced a clarification of the right of gove- ments to produce generic medicine under compulsory licenses and an amendment of the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS Agreement to allow exp...
Strengthening the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the African region through human rights
Strengthening the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the African region through human rights uses rights-based frameworks to address some of the serious sexual and reproductive health challenges that the African region is currently facing. More importantly, the book provides insightful human rights approaches on how these challenges can be overcome. The book is the first of its kind. It is an important addition to the resources available to researchers, academics, policymakers, civil society organisations, human rights defenders, learners and other persons interested in the subject of sexual and reproductive health and rights as they apply to the African region. Human rights issues addressed by the book include: access to safe abortion and emergency obstetric care; HIV/AIDS; adolescent sexual health and rights; early marriage; and gender-based sexual violence.

The Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, baseball's minor leagues cancelled their seasons. A few independent leagues tried abbreviated schedules, but all Major League affiliates shut down--for the first time in more than 120 years. Since then, Major League Baseball has taken over governance of the minors, and leagues and teams have been eliminated. In its fourth and final edition, this book gives a complete accounting of the minor leagues as they were known from the late 19th century through 2019.
Planting a City in the Tropical Andes
This book reveals how the 19th Century modernisation of Bogotá led to a transformation in the social role of plants – showing how this city located in the high altitudes of the tropical Andes turned into a ‘floristic island’ formed by native, introduce, wild and cultivated plants. Urbanisation is one of the main forces behind biodiversity loss. Paradoxically, the expansion of cities has made urban environment spaces with a greater numbers of plant species compared to their surrounding areas. Planting a City in the Tropical Andes takes a multidisciplinary approach to shed light on the cultural and ecological mechanisms that have transformed modern cities into what can be described as â...
Dirección universitaria y buenas prácticas de gestión
La aparición de factores sociales, polÃticos y económicos que afectan el progreso de las universidades a nivel mundial ha generado la necesidad de planear, organizar, dirigir, ejecutar y evaluar muy bien sus estrategias para brindar educación incluyente, innovadora y de alta calidad en un contexto competitivo y globalizado propio del siglo XXI. Lo anterior hace que, paulatinamente, se genere una preocupación por investigar, documentar y sistematizar buenas prácticas y casos exitosos donde se evidencien los logros alcanzados como producto de la adopción de una buena gestión estratégica en la dirección universitaria. En ese sentido, en este libro se muestra un marco teórico y un estado del arte sobre los temas que son más representativos para la gestión estratégica en la dirección universitaria a nivel mundial. Asà mismo, se hace un análisis de contenido cuantitativo de las buenas prácticas de gestión estratégica en la dirección universitaria, recopiladas en la Red Telescopi, con el propósito de brindar un mayor nivel de comprensión y relevancia sobre los temas discutidos.
Courting Rights
Over the years people living with or affected by HIV have sometimes successfully claimed the protection of the law. In other instances courageous activists have challenged the law to embody the human rights protections they deserve. This volume presents 30 summaries of court or tribunal proceedings aimed at defending or securing the human rights of people living with or vulnerable to HIV. With an emphasis on cases from developing countries this volume examines key litigation efforts to advance a human rights-based approach to HIV on three fronts: discrimination access to treatment and prevention and care for prisoners. Understanding the ways in which litigation has been used in the struggle for human rights successfully or otherwise helps legislators jurists advocates and policy makers to understand and use the law optimally in the response to AIDS.
