Este livro, construído a partir de um conjunto de geógrafos e geógrafas, e outros pesquisadores da Amazônia, aqui trazidos a público pela “Universidade Federal do Pará - Grupo Acadêmico Produção do Território e Meio Ambiente Na Amazônia” chega no momento exato de sua necessidade. O livro expressa a realidade Amazônica, sobretudo no estado do Pará através da compreensão geográfica e expõe, sob diferentes temas, os conflitos entre apropriação territorial, expropriação da vida e esgotamento dos recursos naturais ou, transfiguração dos recursos naturais. Transfiguração entendida como apropriação da natureza por agentes externos que, ao explora-la com a força de seus poderes, lhe recria de forma diferente, ou seja, a subjuga e a degrada, embora sua permanência. Desta forma expressa uma relação onde, a natureza “natural” e a sociedade local se tornam um outro, subordinado aos interesses, alhures, ainda que em conflito com a formação histórica regional. Dirce Maria Antunes Suertegaray

A fundamental shift is underway that will change how we conceive of value. In an era of increasing interconnectedness, individuals, as opposed to institutions, stand at the center of value creation. To adapt to this tectonic shift, organizations can no longer unilaterally devise products and services. They must engage stakeholders—from customers and employees to suppliers, partners, and citizens at large—as co-creators. Co-creation guru Venkat Ramaswamy and Kerimcan Ozcan call for enterprises to be mindful of lived experiences, to build engagement platforms and management systems that are designed for creative collaboration, and to develop "win more-win more" strategies that enhance our wealth, welfare, and, well-being. Richly illustrated with examples of co-creation in action, The Co-Creation Paradigm provides a blueprint for the co-creative enterprise, economy, and society, while presenting a conceptual framework that will guide organizations across sectors in adopting this transformational approach. Challenging some of our most deeply held ideas about business and value, this book outlines the future of "business as usual."
Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's atte...
