Beach Management Tools - Concepts, Methodologies and Case Studies
This book provides an overview of beach management tools, including carrying capacity, beach nourishment, environmental and tourism awards (like Blue Flag or others), bathing water quality, zoning, beach typologies, quality index, user's perception, interdisciplinary beach monitoring, coastal legislation, shore protection, social and economic indicators, ecosystem services, and coastal governance (applied in beach case studies). Beaches are one of the most intensely used coastal ecosystems and are responsible for more than half of all global tourism revenues, and as such the book introduces a wide range of state-of-the-art tools that can be used to deal with a variety of beach challenges. Each chapter features specific types of tools that can be applied to advantage in beach management practices. With examples of local and regional case studies from around the globe, this is a valuable resource for anyone involved in beach management.
Conchas de fuego y de sangre
En esta obra se compilan 13 trabajos que tratan distintos aspectos acerca de la importancia de las conchas marinas rojizas en la América antigua, las cuales fueron muy apreciadas por las culturas que poblaron el continente antes de la llegada de los invasores europeos; en la región Andina se les llamó mullu, y tapachtli entre los antiguos nahuas, designaciones que abarcaron varias especies de moluscos, pero sin duda las más relevantes fueron las del género Spondylus.
