Research Collaboration between Europe and Latin America
International collaboration has become increasingly important in carrying out research activities. This book, written by a large group of scholars from Europe and Latin America, maps, analyses and discusses research collaboration between the two continents during the last twenty years. The empirical material underlines the richness and the variety of the links that bind the two continents, well beyond the simplified views of science, either as the brainchild of global networking or as a result of dependence. The book also develops an innovative methodological approach, combining bibliometric analysis, social surveying, in-depth interviews, and a careful analysis of research programmes and policies. While arguing that the asymmetry of relations that once existed in cooperation has turned into a more equal partnership between the two continents, it deciphers some of the reasons behind this more balanced cooperation. It also challenges the view of science as a global self-organising system through collective action at the level of researchers themselves. On the contrary, the importance of policy, institutions, and previously developed research is highlighted and recognised

Microalgae
The term microalgae is often used in the algal research community to collectively describe microscopic algae and cyanobacteria. Research of microalgae has expanded enormously, namely because of their significant commercial potential. The thorough knowledge of the physiology of microalgae must precede any commercial exploitation. We have to understand the mechanisms underlying the physiological and biochemical processes in the algal cells. The book Microalgae - From Physiology to Application covers major aspects of microalgae physiology and the possible applications in the sphere of biotechnology. This book gives a comprehensive overview of what is known about microalgae growth and production, secondary metabolites, and development of new species and products for commercialization. This volume should allow readers at all levels an entry into the exciting world of algal research.

Internet and Society in Latin America and the Caribbean
This book presents pioneering research that is designed to show, from a qualitative and ethnographic perspective, how new information and communication technologies, as applied to the school system and to local governance initiatives, merely reproduce traditional pedagogical approaches and the dominant forms by which power is exercised at the local level. The studies thus constitute points of departure for further thinking about the need to promote an Internet culture based on the social application of a OC right to communication and cultureOCO and an OC Internet right, OCO that will permit the establishment of true citizen participation and free access to knowledge, with due regard to personal and individual rights such as those of privacy and intimacy."
Historia de la divulgacion cientifica en la Argentina
Realizar la Historia de la Divulgacion Cientifica en la Argentina ha sido un trabajo pendiente insistentemente reclamado por el Dr. Manuel Calvo Hernando, decano en la publicacion de libros en espanol sobre la especialidad en periodismo cientifico e investigador incansable de esta disciplina. En esta oportunidad, como subproducto de su tesis doctoral, Diana Cazaux ha cumplido con este mandato llevando a cabo la presente obra que, seguramente, servira como punto de partida para que otros investigadores retomen este objeto de estudio, lo profundicen y lo amplien para que la actividad de acercar el saber de las minorias a las mayorias realizado a lo largo de nuestra historia por cientificos, investigadores, historiadores, comunicadores sociales y profesionales en general quede plasmada como reconocimiento a su esfuerzo indiscutible."
