Etnografía del patrimonio biocultural de las regiones y territorios indígenas de México III
Se exploran los conceptos de diversidad y patrimonio biocultural, situándolos en el contexto legal y de derechos humanos en México como país pluricultural. En cada capítulo, se abordan aspectos del vínculo indisoluble de los pueblos indígenas con su entorno, con enfoques analíticos distintos, como la etnoecología, el diálogo de saberes, la ecología política, entre otros.
Los sueños y los días: chamanismo y nahualismo en el México actual
En las tradiciones indígenas de México el sueño coexiste con el trance, o es equivalente al mismo, y los chamanes locales lo utilizan para acceder a un espacio-tiempo alterno, caracterizado con distintas representaciones y denominaciones. Los V tomos de la obra “Los sueños y los días. Chamanismo y nahualismo en el México actual”, intentan conciliar el chamanismo, el nahualismo y el viaje onírico.

The Electric Meme
From biology to culture to the new new economy, the buzzword on everyone's lips is "meme." How do animals learn things? How does human culture evolve? How does viral marketing work? The answer to these disparate questions and even to what is the nature of thought itself is, simply, the meme. For decades researchers have been convinced that memes were The Next Big Thing for the understanding of society and ourselves. But no one has so far been able to define what they are. Until now. Here, for the first time, Robert Aunger outlines what a meme physically is, how memes originated, how they developed, and how they have made our brains into their survival systems. They are thoughts. They are par...
Industry and Empire
This work describes Britain's rise as the world's first industrial world power, its decline from the temporary dominance of the pioneer, its relationship with the rest of the world (notably the underdeveloped countries), and the effects of all these on the life of the British people.
Industry and Underdevelopment
The recent economic troubles of Mexico should have surprised no one, for the Mexican economy is an unhealthy one whose basic problems extend back to the nineteenth century - that is the major theme of this study of the formative years of industrialization in Mexico. The author focuses on the forces - economic, political, and technological - that have thwarted Mexican efforts to become a competitive member of the international economic community. Unlike most previous studies, which have relied on aggregate data published by the Mexican government that lump together all industries and all firms, this study is based almost entirely on new material concerning individual companies and individual ...
Recent Trends in Medicinal Plants Research
Plants and other living organisms have great potential to treat human disease. There are two distinct types of biomedical research that seek to develop this potential. One type of research explores the value of medicinal plants as traditionally used and studies of these plants have the potential to determine which plants are most potent, optimize dosages and dose forms, and identify safety risks. Another type of research uses bioassays to identify single molecules from plants that have interesting bioactivities in isolation and might be useful lead compounds for the development of pharmaceutical drugs. This new volume of Advances in Botanical Research covers the recent trends in Medicinal Pl...
