La educación ambiental en la primera infancia consiste en diseñar y desarrollar recursos, escenarios, herramientas y metodologías pedagógicas que redunden en experiencias pedagógicas significativas para la infancia, con el objetivo de fortalecer desde las primeras edades competencias y habilidades que contribuyan al cuidado, la conservación, la protección y el aprovechamiento óptimo de los ecosistemas. Al respecto, el propósito de este libro es contribuir con una herramienta que oriente la construcción de un marco pedagógico y académico que beneficie el desarrollo de la educación ambiental en la primera infancia en ámbitos escolares, de educación superior, de política pública y otros escenarios en los que participan niños.
Presenta la fundamentación teórica y metodológica que respaldó el proyecto "Práctica simulada en estudiantes de Fisioterapia para la toma de decisiones en la competencia clínica durante la atención de una persona con dolor lumbar. Colombia", que emplea la práctica simulada en fisioterapia como estrategia para el desarrollo de la competencia transversal de razonamiento profesional. La práctica simulada se debe integrar en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, previo al ingreso a la práctica clínica; ya que promueve la integración conceptual y teórica con la práctica profesional por medio de la simulación de alta o baja fidelidad. También, se resalta la práctica simulada como estrategia de enseñanza, que debe estar fundamentada pedagógicamente para complementar las prácticas ya existentes y respaldada por un marco conceptual para la educación en salud.
"El presente libro ofrece a la discusión académica un valioso aporte al debate sobre las emociones desde la perspectiva latinoamericana. En sus páginas el lector hallará un detallado análisis sobre la influencia del pathos en la vida social, al mismo tiempo que puede encontrar una interesante reflexión histórica y filosófica de los ires y venires de las emociones en la tradición occidental. Adicionalmente, sentir con otros también permite a la reflexión política romper con el mito cientificista y racionalista que instauró la modernidad, toda vez que expone e involucra al pathos en las dinámicas cotidianas de la vida del hombre como ser social en relación con los otros, lo que permite reconfigurar el quehacer político para tornarlo en algo más humano y tangible".
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.

A readable and erudite study of the cultural history of Spain and its people.
This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
