Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Sabías que antiguos eventos de extinción de especies están relacionados con bruscos cambios climáticos? ¿cómo un cambio climático puede contribuir a ladesaparición de los seres vivos? Conoce más acerca de las extinciones y cambios climáticos en el libro Historia Climática de la Tierra. Hace millones de años, lo que hoy es el desierto del Sahara era un gigantesco manto de hielo. Ciertas regiones que actualmente son bosques templados en Europa estaban cubiertas por una vegetación selvática tropical y el continente blanco, la Antártida, albergaba una rica biodiversidad que incluía marsupiales. Cada punto y rincón de nuestro planeta ha cambiado mucho desde su origen y este libro nos habla de tales transformaciones. Sergio González sintetiza el material más preciso y actualizado sobre la historia del clima en la Tierra, desde el pasado hasta el presente, contándonos cómo algunos eventos modificaron el paisaje o la existencia en nuestro planeta. Extinciones, bombardeos de material extraterrestre, calentamientos globales y glaciaciones son algunos de los fenómenos que explora este libro, didáctico y ameno, que además incorpora una serie de diagramas e ilustraciones para hacernos comprensible un relato tan largo como la vida misma.

Download or read book El clima de la historia en una poca planetaria written by Dipesh Chakrabarty and published by Alianza Editorial. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El advenimiento del Atropoceno no sólo ha puesto en jaque a la humanidad y al clima, sino también las categorías que hasta ahora hemos utilizado para dar cuenta de nuestra situación y del lugar que ocupamos en el planeta. Lo humano, que hasta ahora había centrado toda forma de pensamiento, se encuentra de repente imbricado en un sinfín de procesos planetarios que lo desplazan y lo transforman, al tiempo que la cronología limitada propia de los asuntos humanos se ve empequeñecida ante la magnitud del tiempo biológico e incluso geológico, que afecta e infecta a la historia introduciendo mutaciones inesperadas. Si queremos sobrevivir a los desafíos que la crisis climática nos plantea, debemos aprender a orientarnos en un mundo que, como nos dice Dipesh Chakrabarty, ha superado «lo global» para adentrarse en «lo planetario». Desde la frágil pero irremplazable base que aporta esta constatación, El clima de la historia en una época planetaria propone una hoja de ruta para repensar la condición humana ante el horizonte de la devastación ecológica y social que amenaza con resquebrajar nuestras vidas.

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 Eurasian Steppes Ecological Problems and Livelihoods in a Changing World written by Marinus J.A. Werger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steppes form one of the largest biomes. Drastic changes in steppe ecology, land use and livelihoods came with the emergence, and again with the collapse, of communist states. Excessive ploughing and vast influx of people into the steppe zone led to a strong decline in nomadic pastoralism in the Soviet Union and China and in severely degraded steppe ecosystems. In Mongolia nomadic pastoralism persisted, but steppes degraded because of strongly increased livestock loads. After the Soviet collapse steppes regenerated on huge tracts of fallow land. Presently, new, restorative steppe land management schemes are applied. On top of all these changes come strong effects of climate change in the northern part of the steppe zone. This book gives an up-to-date overview of changes in ecology, climate and use of the entire Eurasian steppe area and their effects on livelihoods of steppe people. It integrates knowledge that so far was available only in a spectrum of locally used languages.

Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
