Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is number two in a series for Primates in Fragments. In this volume, ten years after the first http://www.springer.com/social+sciences/anthropology+%26+archaeology/book/978-0-306-47696-9, we continue to address issues regarding primates within a fractured landscape. There are seven sections based on specific categories of primates in fragments. In the Introductory section, authors discuss the issues surrounding primates in remnant habitats as well as encourage discussion about what we mean by fragmentation on a landscape scale. In the Long-Term and Regional Studies section, authors present information on changes that have occurred during longer studies as well as changes that have occurred over regions. In the Landscape, Metapopulations and the Matrix section, authors cover topics from dry to moist forests, and from metapopulations to single species use of multiple fragments locations. In Feeding and Behavioral Ecology, authors take a closer look at the flexibility and responsiveness of primates in fragments in terms of their food choices, resource use, and behavioral changes. In Endemic, Endangered, and Nocturnal Primates authors uncover details involving critical primates living in major city centers to the heights of the Himalayas. In Genetics, Disease and Parasites authors cover topics including population viability, disease and parasite transmission between primates in fragments and humans. Finally, in the Conservation and Ecology: Threats and Management section, we synthesize information in this volume and make recommendations for the future of work in this field and the survivability of primates in fragments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was created initially from a symposium of the same name presented at the International Primatological Society's XVIII Congress in Adelaide. South Australia. 6-12 January 2000. Many of the authors who have contributed to this text could not attend the symposium. so this has become another vehicle for the rapidly growing discipline of Fragmentation Science among primatologists. Fragmentation has quickly become a field separate from general ecology. which underscores the severity of the situation since we as a planet are rapidly losing habitat of all types to human disturbance. Getting ecologists. particularly primatologists. to admit that they study in fragments is not easy. In the field of primatology. one studies many things. but rarely do those things (genetics. behavior. population dynamics) get called out as studies in fragmentation. For some reason "fragmentation primatologists" fear that our work is somehow "not as good" as those who study in continuous habitat. We worry that perhaps our subjects are not demonstrating as robust behaviors as they "should" given fragmented or disturbed habitat conditions. I had a colleague openly state that she did not work in fragmented forests. that she merely studied behavior when it was clear that her study sites. everyone of them. was isolated habitat. Our desire to be just another link in the data chain for wild primates is so strong that it makes us deny what kinds of habitats we are working in. However.

Download or read book The Vicu a written by Iain Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things have changed. In 1969 when the Convention for the Conservation of the Vicuña was drafted, in an attempt to save the vicuña from its tumbling decline towards extinction, both the science and the philosophy of wildlife conservation were radically different. It is thus a tribute to the prescience of those involved at the time that the rescue plan had, even through the harsh lens of hindsight, a d- tinctly Twenty First Century flavour. After all, it was predicated on the expectation that if vicuña could be saved, they would one day become a valued asset, generating revenue for the human communities that fostered their survival. Embodied in this aspiration are the main structures of modern biodiversity conservation – not only is it to be underpinned by science, but that science should be of both the natural and the social genres, woven into inter-disciplinarity, and thereby taking heed of e- nomics, governance, ownership and the like, alongside biology. In addition, it should include, as a major strut, the human dimension, taking account of the affected constituencies with their varied stakes in alternative outcomes. This c- temporary framework for thinking about biodiversity conservation is inseparable from such wider, and inherently political, notions as community-based conser- tion and ultimately sustainable use.

Download or read book Academic Rebels in Chile written by Ivan Jaksic and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1989-07-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many philosophers have been appointed to top-level political positions during Chile's modern history. What makes Chilean philosophers unique in the context of Latin America and beyond, is that they have developed a sophisticated rationale for both their participation and withdrawal from politics. All along, philosophers have grappled with fundamental problems such as the role of religion and politics in society. They have also played a fundamental role in defining the nature and aims of higher education. The philosophers' production constitutes a substantial, albeit largely unknown, portion of the intellectual history of Chile and Latin America. This book describes in detail the evolution of philosophical work in Chile, and pays close attention to the relationship between philosophical activity and contemporary social and political events. Various Chilean philosophical sources are discussed for the first time in the literature on Chilean ideas. The work of such intellectuals as Andres Bello, Valentin Letelier, Enrique Molina, Jorge Millas, Juan Rivano, Juan de Dios Vial Larrain, and many others is examined in relation to the principal political and educational issues of their time. The book also develops a distinction between the two main currents of Chilean philosophy, namely, a "professionalist" current that seeks the independence of the field from social and political involvements, and a "critical" current that seeks to relate philosophical activity to national realities.

This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este ejemplar incluye reflexiones y resultados de investigación de la autora, académica y miembro de la Cátedra Iberdrola de Ética Económica y Empresarial, sobre el papel protagonista de la dirección del capital humano en la sostenibilidad de las organizaciones. La hipótesis global gira en torno a la idea de que las personas debieran ser consideradas como la clave de bóveda del Management porque su adecuada gestión es la condición de posibilidad para que las organizaciones, en general, y las empresas en particular, estén en condiciones favorables para alcanzar la sostenibilidad de su proyecto organizativo y su permanencia en el concierto social y en el mercado. El texto está dividido en dos partes sutilmente diferenciadas. Primero se presentan los fundamentos de la disciplina ofreciendo el marco conceptual necesario para llegar al capítulo quinto, donde el discurso cambia, y se presentan las líneas de investigación y los resultados publicados en revistas científicas consideradas de referencia, de forma directa y concreta, en un ejercicio de transferencia del conocimiento generado. Estamos seguros de que un espectro amplio de potenciales lectores, entre investigadores, docentes y alumnos universitarios, pero también profesionales de la empresa y la gestión, habrán de encontrar en esta obra un contenido estimulante intelectualmente que bien pudiera servir de pauta para ser replicado por parte de quien pueda verse en situación de divulgar la investigación realizada a lo largo de los años en un todo coherente dotado de significado, para la academia y para la sociedad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al iniciar los estudios de los teóricos que han planteado sus postulados acerca de las actividades que se desarrollan en las áreas de gestión humana de las organizaciones, se evidencia que no existe una unificación en la manera en que se agrupan dichos procesos, lo que conlleva a presentar un nuevo enfoque para el estudio y desarrollo de la Gestión Humana. Es por lo anterior que el objetivo principal de este libro es presentar una agrupación por Macro procesos, que tienen como fin alcanzar los objetivos del área como son obtener, formar, retribuir, desarrollar y motivar el personal, y así se pueda potencializar la organización, y donde se entienda que los procesos no son aislados, pues de su desarrollo y coordinación con la estrategia de la organización es de gran importancia dentro de la misma. Va dirigido a personas encargadas de la gestión humana en las organizaciones, directivos de todas las áreas de las organizaciones y estudiantes de pregrado y postgrado que presenten interés en el tema.
