Twelfth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical And Experimental General Relativity, Astrophysics And Relativistic Field Theories (In 3 Volumes) - Proceedings Of The Mg12 Meeting On General Relativity
Marcel Grossmann Meetings are formed to further the development of General Relativity by promoting theoretical understanding in the fields of physics, mathematics, astronomy and astrophysics and to direct future technological, observational, and experimental efforts. In these meetings are discussed recent developments in classical and quantum gravity, general relativity and relativistic astrophysics, with major emphasis on mathematical foundations and physical predictions, with the main objective of gathering scientists from diverse backgrounds for deepening the understanding of spacetime structure and reviewing the status of test-experiments for Einstein's theory of gravitation. The range o...
Science Communication in Times of Crisis
This volume addresses demands on external and internal science communication in times of crisis. The contributions discuss present crises such as COVID-19 (e.g. vaccination campaigns or political reactions towards the pandemic in the context of science scepticism), and climate change (e.g. plausibility judgements or the role of scientists). They also relate their approaches to past crises, e.g. 9/11 or the Galileo affair. This volume is unique in that it is interdisciplinary from a theoretical and methodological perspective. In that respect, the authors apply concepts from corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, rhetoric, news values analysis, pragmatics and terminology research to various t...

When the Rivers Run Dry, Fully Revised and Updated Edition
A new edition of the veteran science writer's groundbreaking work on the world's water crisis, featuring all-new reporting from the most recent global flashpoints Throughout history, rivers have been our foremost source of fresh water for both agriculture and individual consumption, but looming water scarcity threatens to cut global food production and cause conflict and unrest. In this visionary book, Fred Pearce takes readers around the world on a tour of the world's rivers to provide our most complete portrait yet of the growing global water crisis and its ramifications for us all. With vivid on-the-ground reporting, Pearce deftly weaves together the scientific, economic, and historic dimensions of the water crisis, showing us its complex origins--from waste to wrong-headed engineering projects to high-yield crop varieties that have saved developing countries from starvation but are now emptying their water reserves. Pearce argues that the solution to the growing worldwide water shortage is more efficiency and a new water ethic based on managing the water cycle for maximum social benefit rather than narrow self-interest.
When the Rivers Run Dry
We cannot live without water. But with 7.5 billion people competing for this single unevenly-distributed resource, the planet is drying up. In When the Rivers Run Dry, Fred Pearce explores the growing world water crisis, from Kent to Kenya. His powerful reportage takes us to places where waterways are turning to sand before they reach the ocean; where fields are parched and crops no longer grow; where once fertile ground has turned to desert; where wars are fought over access to water and cultures are dying out. But he offers us hope for the future - if we can radically revolutionise the way we treat water, and take personal responsibility for the water we use. This landmark work, from a respected and accomplished scientist, will transform the way we view the water in our reservoirs and rivers, and change the way we treat the water in our taps.
Espacios posmodernos en la literatura latinoamericana contempornea: distopas y heterotopas
Este libro de ensayos analiza los diferentes tipos de espacios y su representación en la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea. Las distopías y heterotopías como contra-espacios o mal-lugares predominan en los estudios de las nueve obras de escritores y escritoras latinoamericanos. Los ensayos en cada capítulo examinan los espacios sociales, sexuales, virtuales y políticos en las narraciones y exploran la forma cómo se generan, producen y reproducen fuera y dentro del texto literario. Desde una argumentación sobre el Pre/Boom/ Posboom Literario en Latinoamérica, la autora se aproxima a textos de Clarice Lispector (A hora da estrela, Água viva, Jorge Luis Borges ("El Zahir"), Mario Vargas Llosa (Elogio de la madrastra), Gabriel García Márquez "Un señor muy viejo con alas enormes"), Diamela Eltit (El cuarto mundo), Cristina Peri Rossi (Solitario de amor), Carmen Boullosa (su literatura infantil) y Luisa Valenzuela (El gato eficaz).
Sociedad, literatura y educación: propuestas para el desarrollo de una juventud resiliente
La presente obra ofrece una mirada actual y teórico-práctica a los retos educativos de nuestra sociedad subrayando la importancia del fomento de la resiliencia desde diferentes dimensiones del quehacer educativo, con un amplio abanico de métodos y actividades. La conjunción del enfoque multidisciplinar generado por el hecho de que los autores procedan de diferentes ámbitos de conocimiento, desde la filosofía de la educación, la pedagogía, la didáctica, la teoría de la literatura y la filología hasta la psicología de la educación, la empresa o la comunicación audiovisual constituye una de las principales aportaciones del libro. El volumen se divide en tres grandes ejes temático...
