Reflexiones ambientales y socioespaciales a partir del covid–19 (Complexus 12)
El presente volumen de la colección Complexus es producto de una investigación conformada por estudios comparativos interdisciplinares realizados en Europa y Latinoamérica y cuyos objetivos son el análisis, desde diversas perspectivas, de las transformaciones en las dinámicas sociales obligadas por el surgimiento del covid–19, así como la identificación de las vulnerabilidades y las repercusiones sobre el territorio y los procesos de adaptación y resiliencia resultantes de la pandemia. Este trabajo se suma a la reflexión sobre el territorio con el propósito de discutir y enriquecer las estrategias necesarias para dar mejores respuestas a futuros casos de contingencia a escala urbano–rural.
SDGs in the Americas and Caribbean Region

Direitos Humanos, Fraternidade e Justiça Social na Sociedade em Rede
São múltiplos os temas possíveis de serem examinados em relação à categoria da Fraternidade. Os Direitos Humanos, a Justiça Social e a Tecnologia correspondem, cada qual a seu modo, a algumas dessas possibilidades de análises, as quais, trazidas para a atualidade da Sociedade em Rede, carregam um desafio: conferir fundamentos ao ser humano para estar em trânsito no comando tecnológico, atento à promoção, proteção e defesa dos direitos inerentes. Essa “lógica”, tão importante à Fraternidade, dá conta de uma justificada cooperação digital, servindo de parâmetros a favor dos Direitos Humanos, do adequado acesso à justiça Social e da realidade tecnológica, justificando a urgente tarefa de estudos relativos a tais matérias, a permitir a revisão das variadas temáticas que orbitam em torno dessas questões e que estão a reforçar a importância dessas referências para o estado da Fraternidade e de seus desafios na Sociedade em Rede.
Desarrollo local sostenible y la Agenda 2030:
La Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible representa una hoja de ruta que puede guiar en el proceso de adaptación de los actores del desarrollo, que no son sólo el gobierno federal, los estados y los municipios, también participan las alianzas de múltiples interesados, alianzas público-privadas para el desarrollo, así como universidades y comunidades epistémicas, entre otros. Esto, indudablemente, infiere en crear los esquemas de gobernanza necesarios para realizar acciones e implementar estrategias que coadyuven a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Esta interacción se complejiza a nivel local, donde la implementación de la Agenda 2030 presenta retos a par...
Media Work
The media are home to an eclectic bunch of people. This book is about who they are, what they do, and what their work means to them. Based on interviews with media professionals in the United States, New Zealand, South Africa, and The Netherlands, and drawing from both scholarly and professional literatures in a wide variety of disciplines, it offers an account of what it is like to work in the media today. Media professionals face tough choices. Boundaries are drawn and erased: between commerce and creativity, between individualism and teamwork, between security and independence. Digital media supercharge these dilemmas, as industries merge and media converge, as audiences become co-creators of content online. The media industries are the pioneers of the digital age. This book is a critical primer on how media workers manage to survive, and is essential reading for anyone considering a career in the media, or who wishes to understand how the media are made.

The Perfect Slime
The Perfect Slime presents the latest state of knowledge and all aspects of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances, (EPS) matrix – from the ecological and health to the antifouling perspectives.

It allows them to stay together for extended periods and form synergistic microconsortia, it retains extracellular enzymes and turns the matrix int...
Ninguém bebe minério
As análises aqui apresentadas, fundadas em casos empíricos e contextos locais articulados a realidades regionais, nacionais e transnacionais, são capazes de fornecer um quadro das consequências das assimetrias de poder sobre a garantia dos direitos das populações afetadas pela mineração e de como o avanço de políticas de desenvolvimento nacional e regional de grande porte sobre o território se chocam com a diversidade sociocultural e ambiental brasileira. Encontram-se aqui, além de um quadro dos ataques aos direitos das populações atingidas, um retrato de estratégias alternativas de relacionamento com a natureza e propostas de justiça ambiental surgidas da luta e organização dessas mesmas populações.
Modernities
Taylor develops a geohistorical argument which focuses on the periods and places of modernities, offering a grounded analysis of what it is to be modern. He identifies three 'prime modernities' which have defined the development of our modern world: today's consumer modernity preceded by the industrial modernity of the nineteenth century which was itself preceded by mercantile modernity.
The Great Acceleration
The Earth has entered a new age—the Anthropocene—in which humans are the most powerful influence on global ecology. Since the mid-twentieth century, the accelerating pace of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and population growth has thrust the planet into a massive uncontrolled experiment. The Great Acceleration explains its causes and consequences, highlighting the role of energy systems, as well as trends in climate change, urbanization, and environmentalism. More than any other factor, human dependence on fossil fuels inaugurated the Anthropocene. Before 1700, people used little in the way of fossil fuels, but over the next two hundred years coal became the most important energy ...
