Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro analiza algunos de los principales problemas que enfrenta la gesti n de los problemas ambientales. Se vale del caso de la calidad del aire para revisar los aspectos institucionales que obstaculizan o facilitan la toma de decisiones sobre el medio ambiente urbano. Destaca las contradicciones derivadas de la naturaleza integral de los problemas ambientales y de su gesti n gubernamental, tradicionalmente abordada de manera sectorial. Por ello enfatiza la necesidad de su estudio interdisciplinario. El libro explora distintas experiencias de gobierno y administraci n de la cuesti n ambiental en diversas regiones del mundo, situando la experiencia mexicana en ese contexto. Finalmente incluye algunas sugerencias que apuntan hacia un arreglo institucional m s adecuado en el manejo gubernamental de lo ambiental, acorde con la complejidad de las grandes ciudades.

Book excerpt: El conjunto de artículos contenidos en este libro constituye un intento por reflexionar, desde el ámbito social y de la ecología política, sobre algunas de las temáticas más debatidas de la cuestión ambiental contemporánea. Se destacan, sobre todo, las estrechas conexiones entre los problemas ambientales y los contextos moral, social y político en los que tienen lugar. Los problemas ambientales emergen no sólo como aspectos fundamentales de la relación del hombre con la naturaleza, sino también como parte esencial de las relaciones de conflicto que caracterizan la propia interacción humana. Así, los temas de la globalización, la biotecnología, la ciencia y sus grandes transformaciones en las esferas públicas y en los ámbitos de la intimidad, el deterioro, el riesgo y la protesta ambiental, la población, el medio ambiente urbano y rural, así como la gestión ambiental, constituyen los escenarios del debate actual y dan cuenta de los grandes desarrollos donde se decide el ser contemporáneo y en donde se ensaya también con el futuro.

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 The Demographic Dividend written by David Bloom and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 127 pages. 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 The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests written by Caroline Harcourt and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final volume in the The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests covers the Americas. It provides an up-to-date overview of the status of rain forests in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Following the format of the two previous volumes The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests: Asia and the Pacific (1991) and The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests: Africa (1992), the atlas is divided into two parts. Part I introduces and discusses the complex interrelated issues in the regions that are involved in both deforestation as well as conservation of the tropical forests. Included are discussions on the history of the forests, agricultural colonization policies and deforestation, conservation polices for plants and wildlife, protected areas, and the future of the tropical forests. Part II is a detailed and well referenced country-by-country analysis of conservation status and trends. Four-colour maps have been compiled from satellite and radar imagery, aerial photography, and the latest information provided by forestry departments and development agencies.
Download or read book Regions at Risk written by Jeanne X. Kasperson and published by UN. This book was released on 1995 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-induced environmental change is to be found throughout the world, but there are areas that scientists consider to be "critical regions" - regions that are particularly vulnerable to or suffering from environmental degradation. In this volume nine such "critical environmental regions" (Amazonia, the Aral Sea basin, the middle mountains of Nepal, Kenya's Ukambani region, the US Southern High Plains, the Mexico Basin, the North Sea, the Ordos Plateau of China, and the eastern Sundaland region of South-East Asia) are examined as case-studies. In chapter one the authors provide a detailed look into the concepts of environmental criticality and endangerment and propose formal definitions. The nine regional studies that follow in the subsequent chapters serve to translate the conceptual framework into the physical and social realities of each area. The case-studies make available an up-to-date synthesis of vast amounts of inaccessible data, and as such will be valuable to scholars and policy makers interested in specific areas of the world and others interested in regional comparisons. Anyone concerned with global environmental change, criticality, human-environment interactions, and how societies in different regions have responded to environmental degradation will find much that is new and important in this pioneering, innovative study.

Book excerpt: This dictionary will present all currently accepted generic, specific, sub-specific and variety names of trees, excluding fossil and more recently extinct taxa, hybrids and cultivars. Only the indigenous trees of a continent, those wild species that were natural elements of the spontaneous forest vegetation before the arrival of Europeans or other colonizers, are included.Each generic entry includes the family to which it is assigned, the synonyms of the Latin name, and the English, French, Spanish, trade and other names. For the English and French names the standard name is listed first, followed by other available names with, in parentheses, the countries where they are used. Where appropriate, names in additional languages are also included.Each infrageneric (species, subspecies, variety) entry includes, in addition, the distribution, height, type of foliage, ecological characteristics and main uses of the tree when available.In this volume only taxa indigenous on the North American continent are included, considered in a geographical, not in a political sense. This means from Alaska and Greenland to Panama, including Caribbean, but excluding Hawaii.
