This book was released on 2002 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mexico aporta un ejemplo dinamico y complejo de los desafios de la gestion ambiental binacional en el contexto de la integracion economica. La frontera de aproximadamente tres mil kilometros alberga a millones de personas que comparten aguas, aire, tierras y ecosistemas bajo estructuras institucionales muy diferentes y en diversas condiciones sociales. Si bien los especialistas y los responsables de formular politicas han analizado los temas ambientales en la frontera por espacio de varias decadas, la puesta en marcha del Tratado de Libre Comercio de America del Norte suscito una renovada atencion a la region. En este trabajo se expone la gama de temas ambientales que encaran las comunidades y organizaciones fronterizas, y se examinan las fuerzas impulsoras que estan transformando el medio ambiente y la sociedad en esta frontera.
Download or read book Coming Together written by Barry P. Bosworth and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was expected to signal the beginning of a new era of close co-operation between Mexico and the United States. Subsequent events, however, have introduced new tensions into the relationship. The 1995 economic collapse in Mexico sharply curtailed economic growth and lowered the demand for U.S. exports. The result has been a substantial deficit in U.S. trade with Mexico and renewed arguments that trade with Mexico reduces the employment opportunities of low-skilled workers in the United States. Immigration, both legal and illegal, has grown as a subject of contention between the two countries. Mexico has also come under increased focus as a conduit for the flow of drugs into the United States. In this book, scholars from the United States and Mexico examine the major elements of the bilateral relationship. The economic dimension is highlighted in two papers that focus on the effects of NAFTA on trade and financial transactions. The political and social dimensions are taken up in three papers on immigration, drug trafficking, and environmental concerns. The contributors include J. Enrique Espinosa and Pedro Noyola, SAI Consultores, Mexico; John Williamson, Institute for International Economics; Juan Carlos Belausteguigoitia, Ministry of the Environment, Mexico; Peter Smith, University of California, San Diego; and George Borjas, Harvard University.
Download or read book Retos ambientales y desarrollo urbano en la frontera M xico Estados Unidos written by Christopher Brown and published by El Colegio de la Frontera Norte. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La problemática ambiental y urbana de la región fronteriza entre México y Estados Unidos ha estado determinada por las políticas de desarrollo de ambas naciones. En los últimos 25 años la dinámica transfronteriza ha provocado una mayor presión social y económica sobre el ambiente natural, agravando los problemas de contaminación del agua, aire, suelo y pérdida de biodiversidad. Por su parte, el crecimiento de las ciudades está provocando problemas de movilidad interna, conformación de asentamientos urbanos marginales, disminución de reservas territoriales y deterioro ambiental, entre muchos otros. El análisis de esta región activa y compleja requiere nuevos esquemas de investigación para comprender su dinámica, estructura interna e impactos ambientales. Entre estos estudios destacan los que se orientan al desarrollo urbano, salud e impacto ambiental, riesgo de desastres, gobernación ambiental y cooperación binacional. Para analizar la variada información urbano-ambiental, se deben emplear técnicas de vanguardia como los sistemas de información geográficos (SIG), percepción remota, manejo de base de datos y metodologías integrales, todo ello desde una perspectiva binacional y transfronteriza para el planteamiento de soluciones integrales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.
Download or read book 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture written by The Getty Conservation Institute and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1991-02-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Download or read book Neotropical Owls written by Paula L. Enriquez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive biological and ecological information about owls in the neotropic area. In addition the book covers topics such as threats and conservation strategies for these nocturnal birds of prey from 18 Neotropical countries. Owls are a good example of diversification processes and have developed evolutionary characteristics themselves. These species are found almost everywhere in the world but most of them are distributed in tropical areas and about a third of them live in the Neotropics. This biogeographic region has a high biodiversity and even share lineages of species from other continents because at some point all were part of Pangea. Although we still have much to know and understand about this diverse, scarcely studied and threatened group this work aims to be a precedent for future and further research on the subject.
