Agricultural Heritage Systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America
Agriculture is often considered as one of the main threats to ecosystems. Unsustainable farming practices often result in habitat loss, inefficient use of water, soil degradation, pollution, genetic erosion, among other negative impacts on human life, including hunger, low food quality, reduced access to food resources, as well as the abandonment of rural areas. Nevertheless, when agriculture is practiced in a sustainable way, it can contribute to the preservation of many habitats, to the protection of watersheds, to the preservation and improvement of soil health. The use of sustainable and ecological practices is the key feature distinguishing traditional agriculture from intensive one. It...
INTRODUCCIÓN A LA SOCIOLOGÍA ACTUAL
Este es un libro de introducción a la Sociología. Desde el principio, comprobará el lector que la perspectiva sociológica no se asemeja al conocimiento común, sino que, por el contrario, trata de explicar con una metodología propia de las Ciencias Sociales por qué las cosas son como son. Es decir, la Sociología no solo describe la realidad social o cómo es un fenómeno social determinado, sino que trata de encontrar una explicación a ese acontecimiento o fenómeno social. Desde sus orígenes, la Sociología ha tenido esa pretensión científica de estudiar objetivamente la realidad social, de descubrir las regularidades o las leyes de la vida social. Ese es el enfoque que hemos dado a todos los capítulos de esta obra, a través de los cuales se aborda el estudio de los aspectos nucleares que caracterizan la compleja sociedad actual. En algunos puntos pueden ser páginas un poco densas. Hemos intentado, sin embargo, ser didácticos y sintéticos. Hemos tenido en cuenta que es una obra para...

El origen de la distinción de rangos. Investigación sobre las circunstancias que dan lugar a la influencia y la autoridad en los distintos miembros de la sociedad
El origen de la distinción de rangos no es un estudio solo sobre clases sociales, sino sobre jerarquías, sobre las posiciones de autoridad y obediencia en las sociedades, un concepto más amplio que comprende también las relaciones de poder de los hombres sobre las mujeres, de los padres sobre los hijos, de los jefes sobre las tribus, de los señores sobre los siervos, de los soberanos sobre los vasallos. John Millar fue también pionero en la aplicación de una visión economicista a la evolución de las instituciones, escribiendo un libro clásico del que Werner Sombart decía que se trata de una de las mejores y más completas obras de Sociología.
Functional Limb Salvage
Taking a truly interdisciplinary approach to the topic, Functional Limb Salvage is a ready reference for all clinicians and surgeons treating this patient population, including plastic, vascular, orthopedic and podiatric surgeons and their support staff. The content of this text is focused on defining and expanding upon the importance and, more specifically, the intricacies of the multidisciplinary team approach. Although this is often touched upon or cited as an integral aspect of care, there are only sparse descriptions of the interplay of multiple team members in concert with the care of this challenging patient population. This comprehensive text opens with definitions, demographics, epi...
Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Sirenia
Despite their rich fossil history, there are only four surviving species of sirenians or sea cows, the only fully aquatic herbivorous mammals. The three species of manatees and the dugong live in the coastal waters rivers and lakes of more than 80 tropical and subtropical countries and are all on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This book examines sirenian conservation biology through the lens of their behavioral ecology and ethology. Sirenian feeding, diving, movement, social and reproductive behaviors are reviewed by an international team of scientists from eight countries, with an emphasis on data gathered in the past 15 years.
