Ecosystem Services
The ecosystem services (ES) framework opens the door to common ground between ecology science and economics in facing the challenge of planetary sustainability. Application of the available methodologies and instruments reveals both the high potential and the controversies related to this new socio-ecological management approach. Feeding on the research, reviews and testimonies presented at the XV International Summer School on Environment (ISSE) of the University of Girona (2015), this proceedings book displays the main concepts related the ES approach and outcomes from case studies dealing with its operationalization. However, the ultimate goal of this crosswalk language remains; changing mentalities and raising awareness to the point of installing new socio-ecological values, leading society to economic models in which ES conservation is understood as subsistence premise and therefore an intrinsic component of profits.\n \n

Urban Dynamics in the Post-pandemic Period
This book offers a unique perspective on urban processes affecting tourist spaces and city centres. Economic, social and environmental uncertainty has been commonplace since March 2019, when mobility slowed down across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated trends that have been investigated in urban space for years. The incorporation of technologies, the expansion of tourism and the introduction of policies that in part want to advance sustainability are generating processes of reorganisation of territories that are driving changes. These changes will affect models of city, urbanism and society. This publication is directed to a wide spectrum of people interested in urban processes, tourism and social change in the context of the Post-Pandemic Covid-19. In particular, the book is aimed at researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, consultants, public administrations and the public interested in the recent challenges that are affecting developed and developing societies.
Feminisms in Geography
In this innovative reader, Pamela Moss and Karen Falconer Al-Hindi present a unique, reflective approach to what feminist geography is and who feminist geographers are. Their carefully crafted textbook invigorates feminist debates about space, place, and knowledges with a fine balance among teaching chapters, reprints, and original essays. Offering an anthology that actually questions the very purpose of an anthology, the editors create and then negotiate a tension between reinforcing and destabilizing scholarly authority. They challenge the idea that there is one set of works that acts as the vision, interpretation, voice, and feel of feminist geography while both reproducing key previously...
El Planejament territorial a Catalunya a inici del segle XXI : una nova interpretació i projecció del país
"Aquesta publicació parteix de la certesa que el planejament supramunicipal ha estat un instrument que ha permès una interpretació i projecció renovada del país i amb la idea que és una eina de futur i que és necessària una reflexió contínua sobre la seva viabilitat. El llibre s'estructura en un conjunt d'articles que volen aprofundir en el coneixement del que ha suposat aquesta darrera dècada de planificació territorial i urbanística. Al mateix temps s'ha volgut deixar clar en quin context històric, econòmic, social i polític s'ha fet aquesta planificació i s'ha volgut aprofundir en la metodologia i els instruments emprats i amb les tensions que ha generat"--Back cover.
