Erotismo, emancipación y literatura femenina en Costa Rica
Costa Rica ha conseguido grandes logros en materia de derechos humanos y en cuanto a la situación social de las mujeres. Aún así, en una sociedad enraizada en el patriarcado sigue existiendo desigualdad de géneros. El tema más censurado para las mujeres ha sido siempre la expresión del erotismo como placer sexual, pues implica adueñarse de sus cuerpos y posicionarse como sujetos. Este libro busca una ruptura con la tradición y el inicio de una nueva etapa en el campo literario costarricense a través de voces femeninas que expresen en la literatura ficcional su propia concepción del erotismo tanto en su aspecto ético como en el estético.

Evil Hour in Colombia
Colombia is the least understood of Latin American countries. Its human tragedy, which features terrifying levels of kidnapping, homicide and extortion, is generally ignored or exploited. In this urgent new work Forrest Hylton, who has extensive first-hand experience of living and working in Colombia, explores its history of 150 years of political conflict, characterized by radical-popular mobilization and reactionary repression. Evil Hour in Colombia shows how patterns of political conflict, from the mid-nineteenth century to today's guerilla narco-traffickers and paramilitaries, explain the wear currently destroying Colombian lives, property, communities and territory. In doing so, it traces how Colombia's "coffee capitalism" gave way to the cattle and cocaine republic of the 1980s, and how land, wealth and power have been steadily accumulated by the light-skinned top of the social pyramid through a brutal combination of terror, expropriation and economic depression.
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
