Emerging and Re-emerging Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases
Background: Emerging infectious diseases (EID) have posed a recurring threat to human civilizations throughout history. The list of emerging infections continues to grow with a diverse set of pathogens against which we have inadequate counter measures. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is perhaps the EID that defines our times, taking well over a decade before rates of new infection could be curbed following identification of the etiologic agent in 1983. Deep study of most EID reveals the intricate complexity and connectedness of humans, animals, pathogens, vectors, and environ. Ongoing outbreaks of Ebola and Lassa fever emphasize how population expansion may create niches and opportunity f...
Blinding Polyphemus
Today, we believe that the map is a copy of the Earth, without realizing that the opposite is true: in our culture the Earth has assumed the form of a map. In Blinding Polyphemus, Franco Farinelli elucidates the philosophical correlation between cultural evolution and shifting cartographies of modern society, giving readers an interdisciplinary study that attempts to understand and redefine the fundamental structures of cartography, architecture, and the notion of "space." Following the lessons of nineteenth-century critical German geography, this is a manual of geography without any map. To indicate where things are means already responding, in implicit and unreflective ways, to prior questions about their nature. Blinding Polyphemus not only takes account of the present state of the Earth and of human geography, it redefines the principal models we possess for the description of the world: the map, above all, as well as the landscape, subject, place, city, and space.
Casa de las estrellas
Javier Naranjo es un poeta Colombiano que en su búsqueda del porqué de las definiciones que niños y niñas dan a los elementos de su Universo, se encontro con nuestro espacio de reflexión sobre el Cuerpo y decidio compartir con nosotros su trabajo. El Cuerpo enunciado por voces infantiles también nos muestra la tensión entre la unidad y la dualidad, entre la síntesis de la experiencia y la razón y su tajante separación dualista. Pero sin embargo es menester volvernos a preguntar como lo hace el poeta ¿como y porque los niños desde tan temprana edad asumen que somos dos?, que uno soy yo y otro es mi cuerpo. Las definiciones que nos comparte Javier Naranjo y que hacen parte de su libro ?Casa de las Estrellas? nos traen nuevamente a esa reflexión y nos ubican en lugares, muchas veces olvidados por el campo académico: el de las artes y concretamente el de la literatura y el de las niñas y los niños Colombianos.
Catchment2Coast: A Systems Approach to Coupled River-Coastal Ecosystem Science and Management
Catchment2Coast was an interdisciplinary research and modelling project that aimed to improve understanding of the linkages between coastal ecosystems and the adjacent river catchments. The project involved nine partner organisations from three European and three southern African countries, including Mozambique, where the project was conducted. Catchment2Coast has tackled a problem which is at the interface of many different domains: between river and the sea, between bay and ocean, between water and soil, but also between ecology and economy. It used a variety of tools and methods, ranging from continuous hydrodynamic monitoring and biochemistry flux measurements to remote sensing and mathe...

Natural Particulars
Recently the history of science in early modern Europe has been both invigorated and obscured by divisions between scholars of different schools. One school tends to claim that rigorous textual analysis provides the key to the development of science, whereas others tend to focus on the social and cultural contexts within which disciplines grew. This volume challenges such divisions, suggesting that multiple historical approaches are both legitimate and mutually complementary."--
