Oases and Globalization
This book is a reference work about the study of oases in the context of globalization. It is based on selected papers presented at the international colloquium entitled Oases in the Globalization, Ruptures and Continuities in Paris (December 16-17th, 2013). The main issue was to understand how oases have been excluded from or included into the process of globalization. In this context, the present book proposes firstly a discussion about the definition(s) of oasis and secondly several case studies analysing socio-spatial mutations in the oasis structure. The third part deals with the compelling globalization at different spatial scales, using two entries: the water management and local impacts of external control.

Chagas Disease
This book provides a comprehensive resource on various aspects of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and the neglected tropical disease Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), the disorder resulting from infection with the parasite. Topics include the biological description and taxonomy of the parasite, epidemiology and transmission routes, laboratory techniques in use when working with the parasite, as well as diagnostic measures and treatment of Chagas disease. Furthermore, a chapter with life stories of people in contact with the disease in endemic as well as non-endemic countries is included. The book is therefore a valuable source for individuals engaged in basic research as well as patient care and health management related to American trypanosomiasis.

Enfermedades argentinas. 16 historias
"¿Para cuántas enfermedades un cambio de gobierno trajo alteraciones realmente significativas en su historia? ¿Acaso el golpe militar de 1930 modificó las tendencias de la mortalidad producida por la tuberculosis en las grandes ciudades del Litoral? ¿El primer peronismo perturbó la endémica presencia del mal de Chagas en gran parte del interior de Argentina?" A través de una cuidadosa selección de casos, Diego Armus reúne en este volumen 16 historias socioculturales de enfermedades que, desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta el pasado reciente, se convirtieron en asuntos públicos en Argentina. Desde las campañas sanitarias contra el paludismo pasando por el estigma asociado al VIH/si...
Estudio social de la ciencia y la tecnología desde América Latina
Este libro tiene dos objetivos: en primer lugar, poner en escena los aportes y las propuestas desarrolladas por un conjunto de investigadores latinoamericanos sobre diversos temas y enfoques en torno al estudio de las relaciones entre la ciencia, la tecnología y la sociedad (CTS), es decir, tratar de presentar un panorama de los estudios CTS latinoamericanos vistos a través de las aportaciones teórico-epistemológicas y empíricas recientes, generadas por especialistas representativos de campos de conocimiento y abordajes diversos; en segundo lugar, mostrar algunas avenidas por las que transcurrirán los esfuerzos de investigación en la región, tratando de profundizar los debates vigentes y de enriquecer la agenda de discusión de los estudios CTS, y dar cuenta de las modificaciones del campo CTS en la región en términos de los abordajes posdisciplinarios, de la fuerte integración conceptual y empírica de los diversos ámbitos y de las posiciones críticas respecto de las elaboraciones teórico-metodológicas de otras regiones.
