Pseudocereals
The aim of this book is to update knowledge and summarise recent research on pseudocereals, particularly regarding their botanical characteristics, composition, structure, use, production, technology and impact on human health. In the last few years, pseudocereals – in particular amaranth and quinoa – have acquired increased importance (which is also due to the increased demand for gluten ]free food). Worldwide, the demand for amaranth and quinoa has risen immensely, as seen in rising prices for amaranth and quinoa. At the same time, research in all relevant fields has intensified. At present there is some confusion surrounding the term ‘pseudocereals’ and what it does and does not i...
Retos del Estado constitucional: transparencia y combate a la corrupción.
Entre los nuevos problemas que enfrenta el Estado constitucional de derecho destaca la corrupción. Este mal ha lacerado las democracias contemporáneas, ya que su impacto negativo no se circunscribe al ámbito económico, sino que afecta el funcionamiento del Estado, debilita la legitimidad institucional y reduce la calidad de vida de todos. Es un fenómeno que se extiende en todas latitudes y se encuentra lejos de ser exclusivo de los países cuyas democracias no se han consolidado o de aquellos en los que ni siquiera se visibiliza. Así, es fundamental fortalecer el combate a la corrupción, siendo necesario para la garantía de los derechos humanos y el afianzamiento de las democracias. Por ello, es un tema de actualidad cuyo análisis requiere de todos los sectores, a fin de ofrecer respuestas que abonen a los logros alcanzados. Con esa intención surge la idea de publicar el presente libro, como espacio plural e interdisciplinario que acoge las voces de personas expertas y especialistas, quienes desde una visión crítica nutren el debate en la materia y ofrecen propuestas que abonen al debate.

Dilemas ambientais-urbanos em duas metrópoles latino americanas
Esta obra contribui para refletir sobre as intempéries naturais e os impactos ambientais ocasionados pela ação humana sobre duas grandes cidades mundiais, São Paulo e Cidade do México. Apresenta análises sobre diferentes aspectos que se tornaram grandes dilemas ambientais-urbanos em cidades que cresceram, mas que não foram estruturadas para receber a quantidade de pessoas que ali habitam ou que por ali passam todos os dias e todo o fluxo decorrente delas. Por meio dos estudos é possível perceber que a trajetória de ambas as cidades a partir da segunda metade do século XX, se aproximam quanto aos problemas e a complexidade, bem como à emergência da questão ambiental como uma dimensão transversal e urgente.
A Revision of the Dulcamaroid Clade of Solanum L. (Solanaceae)
This volume is a monograph of the 47 species of the Dulcamaroid clade of the large and diverse genus Solanum. Species in the group occur in North, Central and South America, and in Europe and Asia. The group is most species-rich in Peru and Brazil, and three of the component species, Solanum laxum of Brazil, Solanum seaforthianum of the Caribbean and and Solanum crispum of Chile are cultivated in many parts of the world. All species are illustrated and a distribution map of each is provided. All names are typified and nomenclatural and bibliographic details for all typifications presented. One new species from Ecuador is described. The monograph is the first complete taxonomic treatment of these species since the worldwide monograph of Solanum done by the French botanist Michel-Felix Dunal in 1852.
Democracy in Practice
In spite of the expanding role of public participation in environmental decisionmaking, there has been little systematic examination of whether it has, to date, contributed toward better environmental management. Neither have there been extensive empirical studies to examine how participation processes can be made more effective. Democracy in Practice brings together, for the first time, the collected experience of 30 years of public involvement in environmental decisionmaking. Using data from 239 cases, the authors evaluate the success of public participation and the contextual and procedural factors that lead to it. Thomas Beierle and Jerry Cayford demonstrate that public participation has...
Women, Business and the Law 2021
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women’s interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year’s report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women’s economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women’s economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
