An Introduction to the Amphibians of Ecuador
An Introduction to the Amphibians of Ecuador is the first of four volumes, which are comprehensive, well-illustrated, and authoritative works, making them invaluable to biologists, conservationists, and others. This initial volume delves into the cultural history of amphibians, encompassing ethnobatrachology and folklore, while summarizing the amphibian iconography found in Ecuadorian archaeology. Moreover, it covers topics such as bioprospecting, sustainable management, and biotrade activities. The history and present state of amphibian biology research are also addressed. Furthermore, it explores in comprehensive detail the rich amphibian diversity of Ecuador, providing a thorough review o...
The Galapagos Marine Reserve
This book focuses on how marine systems respond to natural and anthropogenic perturbations (ENSO, overfishing, pollution, tourism, invasive species, climate-change). Authors explain in their chapters how this information can guide management and conservation actions to help orient and better manage, restore and sustain the ecosystems services and goods that are derived from the ocean, while considering the complex issues that affect the delicate nature of the Islands. This book will contribute to a new understanding of the Galapagos Islands and marine ecosystems.
Echinoderm Research and Diversity in Latin America
This book compiles for the first time the development of echinoderm research in Latin America. The book contains 17 chapters, one introductory, 15 country chapters, and a final biogeographic analysis. It compiles all the investigations published in international and local journals, reports, theses and other gray literature. Each chapter is composed of 7 sections: introduction describes the marine environments, and main oceanographic characteristics, followed by a history of research account divided by specific subjects. The next section addresses patterns of distribution and diversity. A specific section would explain fishery or aquaculture activities. The next sections deal with environmental and anthropogenic threats that are affecting echinoderm, and any conservation or management action. Finally, a section with conclusions, needs and new lines of research. The book will include two appendixes with species lists of all echinoderms with bathimetric data, habitat and distribution.
Brujerías, estampas y cuentos de Pablo Palacio
El taller «Análisis literario, grabado e ilustración a partir de la obra del escritor Pablo Palacio» ha dejado como resultado una obra consistente de gran valor artístico y conceptual, realizada por un grupo de artistas ecuatorianos y españoles que participaron en las actividades convocadas por la Estampería Quiteña, de Ecuador, y el taller aLfaRa StuDio, en Salamanca, España. Esta actividad tuvo dos puntos de partida: de una parte, la lectura de varios cuentos de Pablo Palacio, escritor ecuatoriano vanguardista de la primera mitad del siglo XX, cuya obra fue el eje central de toda la actividad del taller; y, de otra parte, el conocimiento de la edición de bibliófilo de la novela Cien años de soledad realizada entre los años 1996 y 2016. La experiencia que me aportó el desarrollo de este trabajo, con el conocimiento de Gabriel García Márquez y la aprobación de su agente literaria, Carmen Balcells, fundamentó el desarrollo del taller realizado en las dos ciudades.

The Americas and Oceania: Assessing Sustainability
The Americas and Oceania: Assessing Sustainability provides extensive coverage of sustainability practices in two regions linked culturally and historically by their relative isolation before the Columbian exchange, by their colonization after it, and by the challenges of pollution, resource overuse, and environmental degradation. Regional experts and international scholars focus on environmental history in areas such as the South Pacific islands, now particularly threatened by rising ocean levels due to climate change, and on countries whose governments and corporations can play a major role in promoting or discouraging sustainable choices: Brazil, an emergent power on the world stage; the United States, the world's third most populous nation; and New Zealand, seemingly on its way to becoming an enviable model of sustainable development.
