Between Preservation and Exploitation
A study of biodiversity governance analyzes the factors that determine the effectiveness of transnational advocacy networks and the importance of justice claims to conservation. In the late 2000s, ordinary citizens in Jamaica and Mexico demanded that government put a stop to lucrative but environmentally harmful economic development activities—bauxite mining in Jamaica and large-scale tourism and overfishing on the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. In each case, the catalyst for the campaign was information gathered and disseminated by transnational advocacy networks (TANs) of researchers, academics, and activists. Both campaigns were successful despite opposition from industry supp...
Oceans in Decline
What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked, question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans. The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience, offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state of equilibrium.
Oxtankah: una ciudad prehispánica en las tierras bajas del área maya
El INAH, a través del Proyecto de Investigación y Conservación del sitio arqueológico Oxtankah, dirigido por la arqueóloga Hortensia de Vega Nova, realizó investigaciones arqueológicas al sur del estado de Quintana Roo durante dos décadas. Valga la publicación de estos tres volúmenes para difundir los resultados obtenidos.
Vitalidades
Este volumen coordinado por Aníbal G. Arregui y Juan Martín Dabezies recoge reflexiones de antropólogas y antropólogos que, sobreponiéndose al antropocentrismo fundacional de la disciplina, estudian relaciones sociales más allá de lo humano. Las historias que aquí se despliegan están pobladas de encuentros con algas, maíces, volcanes, murciélagos, sopas, jabalíes, peces o virus. Escritas por diecinueve autores y autoras de España e Iberoamérica, las etnografías de este libro muestran cómo los humanos y no humanos constantemente inventamos formas de relacionarnos para construir nuevas ecologías. Asentadas entre la tradición de la antropología ambiental, los estudios de cien...
Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment
The Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment provides an in-depth and accessible analysis and theorization of environmental issues in the region. It will help readers make connections between Latin American and other regions’ perspectives, experiences, and environmental concerns. Latin America has seen an acceleration of environmental degradation due to the expansion of resource extraction and urban areas. This Handbook addresses Latin America not only as an object of study, but also as a region with a long and profound history of critical thinking on these themes. Furthermore, the Handbook departs from most treatments on the topic by studying the environment as a social iss...
Congressional Record
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session.

Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
The Biology of Coral Reefs
Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as well as a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of human activity have led to a rapid decline in the health of reefs worldwide, with many now facing complete destruction. Their world-wide deterioration and over-exploitation has continued and even accelerated in many areas since the publication of the first edition in 2009. At the same time, there has been a near doubling in the number of scientific papers that have been written in this short time about coral reef biology and the ability to acclimate to ocean warming and acidification. This new edition has been th...
