This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La actual crisis ambiental es también una crisis de la civilización. La sociedad, con todos los recursos culturales y tecnológicos de los que dispone, no ha sido capaz de detener la degradación del planeta. Ya a mediados de siglo XX, Murray Bookchin, pionero de la ecología social, consideraba que la acción humana es el factor principal de la transformación ecológica y reivindicaba, por lo tanto, el papel de las personas en la resolución de los problemas ambientales, a menudo con raíces en el pasado (colonialismo y poscolonialismo, por ejemplo) y con consecuencias graves de desigualdad. Este libro analiza la dimensión social de la situación de emergencia que vivimos hoy profundizando en los temas directamente relacionados (la sostenibilidad, la cultura ambiental, las economías solidarias, las relaciones desiguales, el crecimiento demográfico, el ecoplaneamiento y las catástrofes) y mostrando algunas de las estrategias que tenemos al alcance para lograr una sociedad más ecológica, justa, solidaria y feliz.

Book excerpt: Nuestro planeta muestra un claro deterioro ambiental: cambio climático, crisis energética, agotamiento del modelo de consumo... Uno de los primeros pasos que debemos dar para revertir esta situación es reconocer y evitar las ecomentiras o ecomitos: las falsas creencias medioambientales que están instaladas en el imaginario popular como la efectividad de las cuotas en las emisiones de CO2, la exaltación de fuentes de energía alternativas que quizá no son todo lo beneficiosas que parecen o un amplio abanico de medidas que tiene más sustento político que científico.

Download or read book Saber ambiental written by Enrique Leff and published by Siglo XXI. This book was released on 2002 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La empresa tradicional ha privilegiado a los propietarios en su gestión, dejando a un lado los demás participantes e interesados en sus acciones, en el marco de la racionalidad económica que sólo promueve el crecimiento y la rentabilidad, atentando contra el desarrollo sustentable que requiere la continuidad de la vida en la tierra. Un cambio de actitud personal y empresarial que subsane los problemas sociales y ambientales, implica la instauración de una ética para la sustentabilidad, que sea parte de una racionalidad ambiental opuesta a los modelos heredados de la modernidad y considerará los elementos de la teoría de la complejidad para la construcción de una sociedad más justa que satisfaga los anhelos de felicidad de la humanidad. Este ensayo intenta conexiones entre conceptos éticos y empresariales con la pretensión de dar aportes para la construcción de una racionalidad ambiental, paradigma que nos dará los elementos teóricos para arribar a una sociedad mejor que aquella legada por la historia.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El artículo parte de la idea de que la crisis ambiental subraya y cataliza el cambio deconcepciones sobre la interacción de los Estados y obliga a incorporar un nuevopensamiento en los planos de la teoría y la política. Al tomar la cuestión ecológicacomo punto de partida es posible vincular aspectos importantes para el replanteamientode las perspectivas tradicionales, ancladas en la preeminencia de la racionalidad estatal. Para ello, se requiere un acercamiento teórico para recurrir a planteamientos abstractosy propiciar la comprensión de problemas inabordables a través de la vía empírica. Detal suerte, el autor expone el perfil de la sociedad contemporánea; después, aborda lamanera en que la crisis ambiental global modifica las relaciones entre el mundo social, la naturaleza y la cultura; y por último, incorpora ideas y procesos para desarrollaralternativas desde el ámbito de la integración sociocultural.

Download or read book Social ecological Systems of Latin America Complexities and Challenges written by Luisa E. Delgado and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human societies are influencing nature in such a way that their independent analysis is no longer suitable. Fortunately, social-ecological systems provide a conceptual framework for the interconnected analysis of societies and ecosystems. However, in the case of Latin America, the complexity of social-ecological processes undermined a much-needed compilation of theoretical concepts, methods and case studies. Increasing readers’ understanding of such systems using a postnormal approach, the book discusses current concepts and methods with examples of studies from eight countries. It is a useful resource for social actors, government decision makers and scholars.

Download or read book The Social Metabolism written by Manuel González de Molina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over this last decade, the concept of Social Metabolism has gained prestige as a theoretical instrument for the required analysis, to such an extent that there are now dozens of researchers, hundreds of articles and several books that have adopted and use this concept. However, there is a great deal of variety in terms of definitions and interpretations, as well as different methodologies around this concept, which prevents the consolidation of a unified field of new knowledge. The fundamental aim of the book is to conduct a review of the past and present usage of the concept of social metabolism, its origins and history, as well as the main currents or schools that exist around this concept. At the same time, the reviews and discussions included are used by the authors as starting points to draw conclusions and propose a theory of socio-ecological transformations. The theoretical and methodological innovations of this book include a distinction of two types of metabolic processes: tangible and intangible; the analysis of the social metabolism at different scales (in space and time) and a theory of socio-ecological change overcoming the merely “systemic” or “cybernetic” nature of conventional approaches, giving special protagonism to collective action.

Download or read book Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship written by F Stuart Chapin III and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is undergoing unprecedented changes in many of the factors that determine its fundamental properties and their in- ence on society. These changes include climate; the chemical c- position of the atmosphere; the demands of a growing human population for food and ?ber; and the mobility of organisms, ind- trial products, cultural perspectives, and information ?ows. The magnitude and widespread nature of these changes pose serious challenges in managing the ecosystem services on which society depends. Moreover, many of these changes are strongly in?uenced by human activities, so future patterns of change will continue to be in?uenced by society’s choices and governance. The purpose of this book is to provide a new framework for n- ural resource management—a framework based on stewardship of ecosystems for human well-being in a world dominated by unc- tainty and change. The goal of ecosystem stewardship is to respond to and shape change in social-ecological systems in order to s- tain the supply and opportunities for use of ecosystem services by society. The book links recent advances in the theory of resilience, sustainability, and vulnerability with practical issues of ecosystem management and governance. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students of natural resource management as well as professional managers, community leaders, and policy makers with backgrounds in a wide array of d- ciplines, including ecology, policy studies, economics, sociology, and anthropology.

Download or read book High Mountain Conservation in a Changing World written by Jordi Catalan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.
