Fiefs et entreprises en Amérique latine
Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur tente d'apporter une réponse à un paradoxe ; comment expliquer que , malgré un comportement qui semble choquant par son caractère rétrograde aux yeux des Occidentaux, plusieurs des grandes organisations d'Amérique latine sont marquées par un vibrant dynamisme et un indéniable succès ? La piste choisie est celle de l'héritage historique qui a façonné la culture d'affaires des dirigeants latino-américains, le poids de l'histoire agissant lourdement dans ces sociétés. En s'inspirant de l'approche des « temps longs » vigoureusement défendue par l'historien français Fernand Braudel, Allain Joly examine certains des éléments qui, au-delà des siècles, continuent à agir sur l'ethos d'affaires et organisationnel en Amérique latine. Au moment où l'ouverture des frontières occupe une partie importante des agendas politiques de tous les pays, la conclusion de l'ouvrage est une interrogation sur la viabilité de la « manière d'être ensemble » dans les organisations d'Amérique latine, selon une expression consacrée par Philippe d'Iribarne.
Anarchism in Latin America
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.
Coastal Marine Ecosystems of Latin America
Coastal and marine ecosystems, some severely degraded, other still pristine, control rich resources of inshore environments and coastal seas of Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic margins. Conflicts between the needs of the region's nations and diminishing revenues and environmental quality have induced awareness of coastal ecological problems and motivated financial support for restoration and management. The volume provides a competent review on the structure, processes and function of 22 important Latin American coastal marine ecosystems. Each contribution describes the environmental settings, biotic components and structure of the system, considers trophic processes and energy flow, evaluates the modifying influence of natural and human perturbations, and suggests management needs. Although the focus of the book is on basic ecological research, the results have application for coastal managers.
Tropical Pinnipeds
Pinnipeds are a fascinating group of marine mammals that play a crucial role as apex predators and sentinels of the functioning and health of marine ecosystems. They are found in the most extreme environments from the Polar regions to the tropics. Pinnipeds are comprised of about 34 species, and of those at least 25% live permanently in tropical zones. This book reviews and updates current research on the biology, marine ecology, bio-monitoring, and conservation of tropical pinniped populations, including their behavior, anthropogenic stressors, and health. It also looks at challenges to be faced for the conservation of tropical pinnipeds, many of which are threatened species.
