Relaciones agroambientales en sistemas productivos rurale
Como externalidades se distinguen aquellos aspectos ambientales no deseados en los sistemas de producción agropecuarios que en últimas afectan su sostenibilidad; por ejemplo, la pérdida de la agrobiodiversidad por simplificación del germoplasma, la degradación del suelo por uso excesivo de maquinaria y aplicación de fertilizantes sintéticos, la contaminación del agua y el aire por solubilidad de moléculas empleadas en el manejo de arvenses, plagas y enfermedades, entre otros, que limitan su reproducibilidad en el tiempo, reducen los beneficios económicos obtenidos por los produc-tores y, en últimas, ocasionan su deserción del sector.

Planetary Mine
A clarion call to rethink natural resource extraction beyond the extractive industries Planetary Mine rethinks the politics and territoriality of resource extraction, especially as the mining industry becomes reorganized in the form of logistical networks, and East Asian economies emerge as the new pivot of the capitalist world-system. Through an exploration of the ways in which mines in the Atacama Desert of Chile—the driest in the world—have become intermingled with an expanding constellation of megacities, ports, banks, and factories across East Asia, the book rethinks uneven geographical development in the era of supply chain capitalism. Arguing that extraction entails much more than the mere spatiality of mine shafts and pits, Planetary Mine points towards the expanding webs of infrastructure, of labor, of finance, and of struggle, that drive resource-based industries in the twenty-first century.

Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar
Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia’s most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country’s four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet—albeit stormy—romantic relationship. During their five-year a...
