Theorising Urban Development From the Global South
This edited volume brings together debates from the Global South and Global East to explore alternatives to conventional planning in Southern cities. Embracing the evolving post-colonial theory, the volume offers ‘fragments’ of the urban that provide clues to the larger, often-repeated ontological question that continues to hold: Why and what does theory from the South mean? The chapters derive from and speak to the simultaneously homogenous and heterogeneous South. They focus on presenting the alternative realities of Southern cities as critical analytical lenses that can build up to the theorisation of the Southern urban with a potential to (re)understand the contemporary urban world. The contributions explore locally rooted knowledge systems, premised on social and cultural practices, as possible conduits to evolving planning methods. In doing so, the volume breaks apart the linear modernity that urban theory from the North relies on.

El río Negro, un tesoro oculto
El Laboratorio del segundo semestre de 2017 de la maestría en Procesos Urbanos y Ambientales se centra en la cuenca del río Negro y en particular en la franja territorial asociada al eje central de los ríos Negro y Pantanillo entre el casco urbano de los municipios de El Retiro y de Rionegro. El Oriente antioqueño ha sido visualizado desde hace varios años como "el segundo piso de Medellín y el Área Metropolitana" debido a la fuerte presión que han suscitado los procesos de expansión de la metrópoli hacia este territorio. Es así como el suelo rural de los municipios de esta región y, en especial, del valle de San Nicolás, se está viendo afectado por un proceso de acelerada subu...
Medellín: environment urbanism society
In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community.

Similar Languages, Varieties, and Dialects
Studying language variation requires comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge and new computational tools. This essential reference introduces researchers and graduate students in computer science, linguistics, and NLP to the core topics in language variation and the computational methods applied to similar languages, varieties, and dialects.
Caught in the Storm of War
This is a fascinating insider's account from Adriana, a TV war reporter, who survived death threats, bullets on the battled field and kidnaping from the oldest guerrilla group in the world. A vivid history and a series of short stories told from the trenches in the Colombian jungle.

Through these pages, the author honors the innocent victims caught in the storm of war, and offers a tribute to all the journalists who were killed and survived risking their lives bringing the truth to the citizens. Colombia is a country with one of the highest murder rates for journalists in the world.
Chemical Properties of Starch
This book is about the chemical properties of starch. The book is a rich compendium driven by the desire to address the unmet needs of biomedical scientists to respond adequately to the controversy on the chemical properties and attendant reactivity of starch. It is a collective endeavor by a group of editors and authors with a wealth of experience and expertise on starch to aggregate the influence of qualitative and quantitative morphological, chemical, and genetic properties of starch on its functionalities, use, applications, and health benefits. The chemical properties of starch are conferred by the presence, amount and/or quality of amylose and amylopectin molecules, granule structure, and the nature and amounts of the lipid and protein molecules. The implication of this is comprehensively dealt with in this book.
Haunting without Ghosts
An ambitious critical account of "spectral realism," a new, politically charged strain of literature, film, and art that responds to Colombia's drug wars, paramilitary violence, and resulting demands for justice.
Recuerdos de una alianza
Estamos frente a una obra colectiva muy interesante para generaciones actuales y futuras. Tal vez es una osada síntesis de nuestra ya longeva relación con instituciones francesas, tanto de formación e investigación en ingeniería, como de cooperación diplomática y académica. Es resultado de la clara voluntad de avanzar por parte de una joven Universidad llena de ilusiones y de jóvenes profesores y líderes dispuestos a tomar riesgos: la Universidad de los Andes y su Facultad de Ingeniería de los años sesenta y setenta. La República de Francia, con una visión de mediano y largo plazo, identificó un espacio para que, con base en la construcción de mayores capacidades científicas...
