Biodiversidad y ecología mexicana
La compilación presenta información actual sobre temas de diversidad biológica y ecología de especies relevantes en términos de conservación, así como aspectos de uso sustentable de recursos naturales. La diversidad biológica comprende el cúmulo de organismos vivos considerando todos los niveles de su organización (genes, poblaciones, especies, comunidades, hábitats, ecosistemas y paisajes). Por su parte, la ecología busca comprender las relaciones que existen entre los organismos y los elementos bióticos y abióticos en su medio ambiente. Ambas líneas de investigación se encuentran estrechamente relacionadas y conforman la base para el aprovechamiento adecuado de los recursos naturales disponibles.
The Legal Culture of Northern New Spain, 1700-1810
Spain's colonial rule rested on a judicial system that resolved conflicts and meted out justice. But just how was this legal order imposed throughout the New World? Re-created here from six hundred civil and criminal cases are the procedural and ethical workings of the law in two of Spain's remote colonies--New Mexico and Texas in the eighteenth century. Professor Cutter challenges the traditional view that the legal system was inherently corrupt and irrelevant to the mass of society, and that local judicial officials were uninformed and inept. Instead he found that even in peripheral areas the lowest-level officials--thealcaldeor town magistrate--had a greater impact on daily life and a keener understanding of the law than previously acknowledged by historians. These local officials exhibited flexibility and sensitivity to frontier conditions, and their rulings generally conformed to community expectations of justice. By examining colonial legal culture, Cutter reveals the attitudes of settlers, their notions of right and wrong, and how they fixed a boundary between proper and improper actions. "A superlative work."--Marc Simmons, author ofSpanish Government in New Mexico
Food Industrial Processes
The global food industry has the largest number of demanding and knowledgeable consumers: the world population of seven billion inhabitants, since every person eats! This population requires food products that fulfill the high quality standards established by the food industry organizations. Food shortages threaten human health and are aggravated by the disastrous, extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts, fires, storms connected to climate change, global warming and greenhouse gas emissions that modify the environment and, consequently, the production of foods in the agriculture and husbandry sectors. This collection of articles is a timely contribution to issues relating to the food industry. They were selected for use as a primer, an investigation guide and documentation based on modern, scientific and technical references. This volume is therefore appropriate for use by university researchers and practicing food developers and producers. The control of food processing and production is not only discussed in scientific terms; engineering, economic and financial aspects are also considered for the advantage of food industry managers.

Rechtsgeschichte des frühneuzeitlichen Hispanoamerika
Die Geschichte des Rechts im frühneuzeitlichen Hispanoamerika ist ein faszinierendes Feld rechtshistorischer Forschung. Im Zuge der europäischen Expansion seit dem späten 15. Jahrhundert etablierte die spanische Monarchie ihre Herrschaft in einem riesigen Gebiet in Nord-, Mittel- und Südamerika. Normen, Institutionen und Praktiken aus Europa wurden in die für die Spanier neue Welt übersetzt. Sie verdrängten und überlagerten oder sie vermischten sich mit den Rechten indigener Völker. Lange Zeit wurde diese Geschichte als Verlängerung der europäischen Rechtsgeschichte interpretiert. Dieser Band führt in die Forschungsgeschichte, deren Leistungen und Problematik ein. Er gibt eine Übersicht über wichtige Quellen und Literatur und zeigt Perspektiven der Forschung auf.

Diccionario ejemplificado del español de Cuba. Tomo I
La presente obra tiene como antecedente directo el Diccionario del español de Cuba (2000) confeccionado por las mismas autoras en la Universidad de Augsburgo, Alemania, que se basa en los fundamentos lingüísticos y la concepción metodológica del proyecto Nuevo diccionario de americanismos, elaborado por los profesores Dr. Günther Haensch y Dr. Reinhold Werner. Acorde con su motivación primera, el objetivo del DEEC es actualizar la descripción del español cubano y contextualizar los usos registrados. Después de terminado el Diccionario del español de Cuba se imponía, por consiguiente, la elaboración de una obra que no solamente incluyera vocablos y acepciones no registradas en el diccionario contrastivo, sino también que registrara los usos con su contextualización, cuestión de suma importancia para el usuario que necesite entender la realidad cubana.
