El libro presenta una diversidad de miradas al campo de estudio de las políticas públicas desde una perspectiva territorial, se muestra una serie de experiencias de investigación relacionadas con la problematización de lo público y la construcción de políticas públicas nacionales, regionales y locales en el suroccidente colombiano. Las perspectivas territoriales sugeridas en esta obra reconocen la importancia del territorio como un lugar en donde convergen relaciones de poder, actores, capacidades institucionales y diversas agendas gubernamentales de orden nacional, regional y local. Es un documento que sirve de excusa para abrir la discusión sobre lo público y los actores que se establecen en los territorios. Se entiende como público aquello que hace referencia a la inclusión social, la utilidad común (que concierne a la comunidad) y al interés colectivo (Pardo, 2016). En tal sentido, lo público y su problematización no es algo dado, resulta del trabajo de persuasión y del despliegue de diversos recursos que ofrece la democracia en materia de políticas públicas, gestión pública y participación ciudadana

Entomopathogenic bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis and B. sphaericus) are increasingly used as biopesticides to control larval insect populations which are either agricultural or forestry pests and to reduce those which as adults are vectors of severe human diseases. This new book, the first since 1993 to address all aspects of entomopathogenic bacteria, provides undergraduate and graduate students as well as research scientists with a complete, modern view of this important group of bacteria. The authors, chosen for their sustained contributions to the field, cover both fundamental and applied research in this area. The main topics include bacterial ecology and taxonomy, toxin diversity, activity and mode of action, regulation and environment of the genes, safety and ecotoxicology, production and field application of the bacteria, and outbreaks of resistant populations. The book concludes with the most recent data obtained on transgenic biotechnology and addresses environmental impact issues.
