Forest management has evolved from a mercantilist view to a multi-functional one that integrates economic, social, and ecological aspects. However, the issue of sustainability is not yet resolved. Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management brings together global research in three areas of application: inventory of the forest variables that determine the main environmental indices, description and design of new environmental indices, and the application of sustainability indices for regional implementations. All these quantitative techniques create the basis for the development of scientific methodologies of participatory sustainable forest management.

The Special Issue, entitled “Forest, Food and Nutrition”, is focused on understanding of the intersection and linking existing between forests, food, and nutrition. Forest ecosystems are an important biodiversity environment resource for many species. Forests and trees play a key role in food production and have a relevant impact also on nutrition.

What are the academic career options for women in various European countries? What has changed? Does the glass ceiling still exist? In a comparative perspective, contributors from different countries provide answers to these questions. By investigating the interrelationship between strategy and structure, the articles in this study focus on the interconnectedness between the institutional environment of systems of higher education and the strategic behavior, aspirations, hopes, and desires of female academics. The book examines how such systems impact those women looking back on their career path, those just starting to think about a career in academia, or those on their way to applying for a leadership position at a university.
Exilios, migraciones, violencias, pero también abrazos y solidaridades, se cruzan en estos fragmentos en que el dolor que provoca el abandono del propio hogar busca transformarse en «una herida fecunda», como lo quería Clarice Lispector. La Historia con mayúsculas, la historia colectiva, atraviesa nuestra historia íntima, dejándonos marcas sobre la piel y los recuerdos. Y ahí están acompañándonos nuestros ausentes, nuestros desaparecidos, aquellos que no pudieron traspasar el umbral. Su huella está en nuestros huesos, sus voces en la nuestra. Tal vez por ello el dis-locamiento que provoca el exilio puede ser en-loquecimiento, quiebre del cuerpo y la lengua. Estas páginas hablan de la propia historia de exilio de la autora, Sandra Lorenzano, desde la Argentina de la dictadura hacia México, pero también de las historias de otros miles y miles de migrantes. Del Mediterráneo a las fronteras de Centroamérica, de los Andes a la selva colombiana, deambulamos por el fracturado sur del mundo. La geografía es una y múltiple.
Nadie sospechaba que la menos extraordinaria de las arquitecturas, la de la casa, nuestro hogar, pasaría en poco tiempo a cambiar tanto su sentido. Si tradicionalmente esta caja cargada de hipotecas y habitaciones ha constituido el hábitat más inmediato del ser humano y su lugar de partida diario, los vertiginosos cambios a los que está sometida desde tiempos recientes la dotan de nuevas y profundas dimensiones existenciales. «¿Qué puede enseñarnos la casa y sus habitaciones?». Ante cada temblor del mundo, ante cada exiguo movimiento social, la casa permite escuchar el rumor del tiempo como un auténtico sismógrafo. Como «gran depósito» donde terminan abandonados los restos téc...
The Politics of Feminist Knowledge Transfer draws together analytical work on gender training and gender expertise. Its chapters critically reflect on the politics of feminist knowledge transfer, understood as an inherently political, dynamic and contested process, the overall aim of which is to transform gendered power relations in pursuit of more equal societies, workplaces, and policies. At its core, the work explores the relationship between gender expertise, gender training, and broader processes of feminist transformation arising from knowledge transfer activities. Examining these in a reflective way, the book brings a primarily practice-based debate into the academic arena. With contributions from authors of diverse backgrounds, including academics, practitioners and representatives of gender training institutions, the editors combine a focus on gender expertise and gender training, with more theory-focused chapters.
