When the Corvette Uruguay was Dismasted
Contains a transcription of a portion of an account (p. [11]-12) published in 1944 by the ship's geologist, Johann Gunnar Andersson, about how the masts of the Argentinian naval corvette, the Uruguay, were destroyed on the return trip after rescuing stranded members of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1903. When this account appeared, three surviving members of the rescue crew believed it to be in serious error, so they published a response to it in 1946, which is also included here in the orig. Spanish (p. [13]-19). Andersson's retraction appears on p. [21].

Marine Ornamental Species Aquaculture
The global trade of aquatic organisms for home and public aquariums, along with associated equipment and accessories, has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Aquaculture of marine ornamental species, still in its infancy, is recognized as a viable alternative to wild collection as it can supplement or replace the supply of wild caught specimens and potentially help recover natural populations through restocking. This book collects into a single work the most up-to-date information currently available on the aquaculture of marine ornamental species. It includes the contributions of more than 50 leading scientists and experts on different topics relevant for the aquaculture of the most emb...

Total Latin American Architecture
This book is not about a folk or typical Latin American architecture. Latin America is not some faraway, isolated region, rather a huge and universal laboratory. It shows a different Latin America through its recent architecture, which flourishes in our time of global communications. It does have roots in the past; but does not appeal to nostalgia. Architecture thought for the present and designed for the near future. Total Latin American Architecture intends to communicate a targeted objective, to circumscribe a segment, a series of observations and actions in architecture.
Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World, 1870-1940
Narratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of ...
The EDF Story
This book was conceived as a chronicle of the birth and growth of the Economic Development Foundation (EDF), an institution unique in the Philippine setting. This book will provide its readers not just with facts on the EDF but an understanding of how organizations are shaped and evolved and how, to an extent, they develop a life and a spirit of their own that in turn shape the values and perspectives of the people involved with them.
