Ecosystem Services in Patagonia

This book aims to quantify and discuss how societies have directly and indirectly benefited from ecosystem services in Patagonia; not only in terms of provisioning and cultural services, but also regulating and supporting services. Patagonia, a region that stretches across two countries (ca. 10% in Chile and 90% in Argentina), is home to some of the most extensive wilderness areas on our planet. Natural grasslands comprise almost 30% of the Americas, including the Patagonian steppe, while Patagonian southern temperate forests are important for carbon sequestration and storage, play a pivotal role in water regulation, and have become widely recognized for their ecotourism value. However, prof...

Spatial Complexity, Informatics, and Wildlife Conservation

As Earth faces the greatest mass extinction in 65 million years, the present is a moment of tremendous foment and emergence in ecological science. With leaps in advances in ecological research and the technical tools available, scientists face the critical task of challenging policymakers and the public to recognize the urgency of our global crisis. This book focuses directly on the interplay between theory, data, and analytical methodology in the rapidly evolving fields of animal ecology, conservation, and management. The mixture of topics of particular current relevance includes landscape ecology, remote sensing, spatial modeling, geostatistics, genomics, and ecological informatics. The greatest interest to the practicing scientist and graduate student will be the synthesis and integration of these topics to provide a composite view of the emerging field of spatial ecological informatics and its applications in research and management.

Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2 Volumes

The first comprehensive review of the current and future effects of climate change on the world’s fisheries and aquaculture operations The first book of its kind, Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture explores the impacts of climate change on global fisheries resources and on marine aquaculture. It also offers expert suggestions on possible adaptations to reduce those impacts. The world's climate is changing more rapidly than scientists had envisioned just a few years ago, and the potential impact of climate change on world food production is quite alarming. Nowhere is the sense of alarm more keenly felt than among those who study the warming of the world's oceans. Evidence o...

Fantasmas del norte

Este libro ingresa en un territorio que el autor liga más a la metafísica que a las ciencias sociales y la historia. Y par ello se sirve de una de las manifestaciones de la muerte y de lo sobrenatural: los fantasmas en el Norte de Chile, entidades generalmente surgidas luego de la muerte violenta de una o más personas. Uno de los méritos de este abordaje consiste en asumir la imagen de los aparecidos o fantasmas desde una motivación psicohistórica y no folclórica. Las sociedades humanas buscan «naturalizar» la muerte para sustraerla de ella y no dejarla como un final carente de sentido. Es menester entenderla como un tránsito hacia el «más allá». En este sentido, los aparecidos son la respuesta al misterio de la muerte y producen cercanía y familiaridad entre vivos y fallecidos; muestran la conexión íntima que existiría en las antípodas de la existencia que, pese a las circunstancias violentas del final, se hace umbroso pero no desaparece.

Ecoliderazgo y educación rural

Esta obra teoriza, modela y propone la relación entre el liderazgo y la educación rural a partir de la sistematización de diversas experiencias de investigación, extensión y formación realizadas en la Universidad de La Salle y compiladas por el Centro de Liderazgo y Excelencia Docente (CLED). El libro propone al ecoliderazgo como un enfoque conceptual, metodológico y axiológico que permite enfrentarse de forma sistémica al análisis y a la gestión de la educación rural. Se constituye en un aporte disruptivo y paradigmático en el campo del liderazgo educativo dado que amplía el horizonte existente para explicar y transformar la educación que reciben los habitantes de los territorios rurales

Critical realism is a movement in philosophy and the human sciences most closely associated with the work of Roy Bhaskar. Since the publication of Bhaskars A Realist Theory of Science, critical realism has had a profound influence on a wide range of subjects. This reader makes accessible, in one volume, key readings to stimulate debate about and within critical realism. It explores the following themes: * transcendental realist * the theory of explanatory critique * dialectics * Bhaskar's critical naturalist philosophy of science.
