Restorative Redevelopment of Devastated Ecocultural Landscapes
A fusion of ecological restoration and sustainable development, restorative redevelopment represents an emerging paradigm for remediating landscapes. Rather than merely fixing the broken bits and pieces of nature, restorative development advocates the reuse of devastated landscapes to improve the value and livability of a location for humans at the
Xochimilco
Esta obra, a manera de diccionario, permite que el lector encuentre de manera fácil, rápida y puntual información acerca del patrimonio natural, arqueológico, histórico, arquitectónico e intangible -como fiestas religiosas y leyendas- de esta alcaldía. Gran parte de tales valores patrimoniales conforman la memoria viva de Xochimilco, pueblo originario de la Ciudad de México, que se resiste a perder su identidad y territorialidad.
Visión social del desarrollo sustentable
El desarrollo sustentable tiene que ver con la articulación de lo complejo, supone realizar análisis interdisciplinarios para respuestas estratégicas e integrales a los desafíos sociales, políticos, culturales, económicos, ambientales e institucionales. Tal enfoque representa un aporte teórico, en la medida que pregunta para qué es el desarrollo, cómo podemos producir el desarrollo, e integra los principios éticos en su formulación y aplicación. El esfuerzo de la comunidad científica para la generación de nuevos conocimientos, los análisis holísticos y totalizadores que contribuyan a un nuevo enfoque de las ciencias sociales son deseables, pero no fáciles de articular. Esta publicación es un esfuerzo para generar reflexiones que superen sesgos interpretativos generalistas y declarativos sobre cambios en los paradigmas de desarrollo vigentes, que requieren de la voluntad política y participación activa de todos para redefinir el funcionamiento del Estado en la orientación del desarrollo.
The Sustainable City VIII (2 Volume Set)
With majority of the Earth’s people now urban dwellers, and cities being the most efficient habitat for the utilisation of resources, it is imperative that we continue to support standards of living and efficiencies of urban areas. However, the urbanisation process has not been without its problems. While much has been done to address the original issues surrounding the quality of urban life, new challenges continue to arise. It is no longer sustainable to achieve improvements by means that require greater and greater energy consumption as we did in the past. Despite their complexity, however, cities are a great laboratory for architects, engineers, and other key professionals to apply new...
The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico
This volume celebrates the continuing impact of the most notable contributions from The Basin of Mexico: The Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization by William T. Sanders, Jeffrey R. Parsons, and Robert S. Santley. In 1979, this influential work synthesized the results of the Basin of Mexico survey projects and follow-up excavations at several sites, while providing theoretical and methodological lines of research in central Mexico and generally in Mesoamerica. More than four decades after that book’s publication, the fourteen contributions in this volume review and analyze its theoretical and methodological influence in light of recent research across disciplines. Among a ...

Geoenvironmental Mapping: Methods,Theory and Practice
This text illustrates the range of environmental geoscience mapping presently carried out around the world. Specialists in several countries have contributed a number of subdisciplinary and thematic topics including volcanic hazards, landslides, dolines, tsunamis, radon potential, medical geology, rainfall erosion, engineering geology, borehole stratigraphy, lake sediment geochemistry, aggregate resources and remote sensing. The collection, analysis and interpretation of data by geologists, geographers and engineers typically involves the presentation of information in map form, which can range from black/white to colour, 2-D to 3-D and paper copy to digital format illustrations. This volume reaffirms the global need for mapping geoscientific data.
Traditional Mexican Agriculture
This long-needed book highlights how traditional Mexican agriculture has changed according to environmental, climatic, geographical, social and cultural conditions. Grounded in archaeological-historical data from interrelated research of various scientific disciplines, the book also draws on studies made by anthropologists of varied small-scale agricultural groups. Traditional Mexican Agriculture is the result of a holistic study of Mexican agriculture. It offers the reader a perspective of traditional agriculture in Mexico from social, cultural and ecological Anthropology, Ethnology, regional and environmental History, and Agroecology, to help obtain sustainable agroecology where human societies obtain better ways of life and a healthy and nutritious food system. The book further aims to recover ideas, management, and components of local knowledge of small-scale farmers. Pitched at university students and academics, as well as researchers and developers of agricultural matters, this book will be ideal reading at agrarian universities and related institutions. It provides a basis for future studies in sustainable agricultural systems in this region.
