Valoración económica de humedales
Los humedales son indispensables en la sostenibilidad de sus territorios circundantes. Como resultado de las presiones urbanas, Bogotá ha experimentado un rápido deterioro y desaparición de estos ecosistemas. La obra analiza desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar los servicios ecosistémicos de los humedales Capellanía y La Conejera en las localidades de Fontibón y Suba respectivamente. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar del deterioro, estos dos ecosistemas siguen generando externalidades positivas a las comunidades vecinas, las cuales muestran una disposición a pagar positiva para su recuperación y protección. En términos de la calidad del agua, los análisis indican niveles preocupantes de contaminación especialmente en las áreas de influencia de actividades industriales en ambos casos. Frente a la avifauna, el trabajo de campo indica que las actividades de recuperación realizadas por la comunidad de los ecosistemas han hecho posible el retorno de algunas especies y la estabilidad de especies endémicas como el rascón bogotano.
60 años bajo el signo de la prohibición: balances críticos de la política de drogas e iniciativas de cambio
Más de 100.000 personas, entre ellas millares de menores de edad, mueren anualmente debido a sobredosis de fentanilo en los Estados Unidos. Esta sustancia, en sus diferentes presentaciones, encabeza la Lista I que la Convención Única de 1961 sabre Estupefacientes catalogo como estupefacientes "sujetos a todas las medidas de fiscalización". Aunque de otra índole, en Colombia los problemas que ha arrastrado esta lista resultan igualmente inquietantes. En ella se encuentran tanto la cocaína como las hojas de coca, y en las otras dos listas hay fármacos para los que estas medidas no son tan drásticas. Luego de seis décadas bajo el signo de la prohibición, el balance de la política de ...
Towards Universal Social Protection
This book reflects on the public policies, programmes and regulatory frameworks that are taking a rights-based approach to expanding social protection coverage and benefits in Latin America, with a view to achieving universal coverage. Its discussion of the policy tools and programmes pursued in the region aims to provide the reader with technical and programmatic insights for assembling and coordinating public policies within consistent and sustainable social protection systems. The combination of normative orientations and stock of technical knowledge, together with advances regarding the rights-based approach to social protection within a life cycle framework, afford the reader not only a tool box of specific social protection instruments, but also an in-depth examination of related political economy aspects.

The Spanish Coastal Systems
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.
High Mountain Conservation in a Changing World
This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.

The Last Ta'ifa
In The Last Ta'ifa, Anthony H. Minnema shows how the Banu Hud, an Arab dynasty from Zaragoza, created and recreated their vision of an autonomous city-state (ta'ifa) in ways that reveal changes to legitimating strategies in al-Andalus and across the Mediterranean. In 1110, the Banu Hud lost control of their emirate in the north of Iberia and entered exile, ending their century-long rule. But far from accepting their fate, the dynasty adapted by serving Christian kings, nurturing rebellions, and carving out a new state in Murcia to recover, maintain, and grow their power. By tracing the Banu Hud across chronicles, charters, and coinage, Minnema shows how dynastic leaders borrowed their rivals...
