Urbicide
This book uses the reflection of academics specialized in the urban area of Latin America, Europe and the United States, to initiate a comparative debate of the different dynamics in which Urbicidio expresses itself. The field or focal point of analysis that this publication approaches is the city, but under a new critical perspective of inverse methodology to that has been traditional used. It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism. It is a deep look at the city from an unconventional entrance, because it is about knowing and analyzing what the city loses by the action deployed by own urbani...
Espacios públicos polivalentes para el mejoramiento urbano
Por su carácter masivo y ciertas morfologías indefinidas o sin clara personalidad, nuestras ciudades de hoy seconvierten, en algunos casos, en magmas urbanos cuyas semejanzas o en sus diversidades necesitan ser estudiadas para ser apreciadas o, en su defecto, mejoradas.Dentro de la diversidad de poblamientos que van desde la ciudad antigua (a menudo convertida en Centro Histórico) a las ciudades perdidas, pasando por los conjuntos habitacionales y los fraccionamientos residenciales, existe un elemento susceptible de cohesionar la ciudad. Nos referimos al espacio público, también diverso según el tipo de poblamiento de que se trate, pues en urbes como México, vemos ciudades dentro de la ciudad.Esta división social del espacio urbano, traducida en ciudades dentro de la ciudad, plantea enormes desafíos para el futuro, sobre todo, para las grandes aglomeraciones, ya sea en conjunto o en sus especificidades territoriales.Con esta obra se busca abrir las vías de análisis a disciplinas diversas que converjan en el tema del espacio público, como escenario o como protagonista del futuro de la ciudad.
The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...

Temperate Agroforestry Systems
Organic animal production has increased rapidly in recent years to keep up with the increasing consumer demand for organic meats. There are many guidelines and restrictions on what should go into the feedstuffs of organically farmed animals, from which difficulties arise when trying to ensure a well-balanced, nutritious diet without the use of any supplements. The book has been completely updated and revised to address how to formulate organic diets in situations where there is a declining supply of organic feed, as well as the feasibility of utilizing novel feedstuffs and their acceptability by consumers of organic meat products. Including the experiences of producers in relation to appropriate breeds and production systems for forage-based organic production, this book is an important read for researchers and students of organic food animal production, veterinary sciences and food; as well as food industry personnel and organic farmers.
Heartwood
How can cutting down a tree be good for the environment? Why do we assume trees can only be grown for EITHER conservation OR profit, but never both? What if there was a way that landholders could profit from harvesting timber from the trees they plant for stock shelter, biodiversity, soil erosion control and beautification - whilst also helping control climate change? In Heartwood- The art and science of growing trees for conservation and profit, Rowan proposes a radical new approach to forestry and Landcare that challenges the idea that harvesting trees for timber is always bad for the environment. In fact, using real examples from his own farm and others around Australia and overseas, he p...
