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.
Pollution of Water Bodies in Latin America
The indiscriminate use of chemical substances in industrial processes and anthropogenic activities, have resulted in the release of these compounds into aquatic ecosystems through municipal, hospital and industrial discharges, producing various undesired effects on the environment and on species of ecological interest. These compounds, such as metals, pesticides, emerging pollutants and other substances are persistent and susceptible to biotic and/or abiotic transformations, yielding metabolites that can be more toxic than the original compounds. In this book, researchers from diverse environmental science disciplines share their experiences in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, and critically examine the problem of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems in Latin America, as well as the risks presented by their presence.
