Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una gran cantidad de personas en los paises en desarrollo depende del medio ambiente natural para sus medios de vida, sea en tierras de cultivo o bosques, humedales o zonas costeras. Para estas personas, el medio ambiente es mucho mas que una fuente de recreacion, es la base de la economia. Pero carencias en el funcionamiento de los mercados, derechos de propiedad incompletos y politicas equivocadas pueden llevar a las personas a seguir comportamientos que son racionales en el corto plazo o desde un punto de vista individual, pero daninos para el medio ambiente y las futuras generaciones. La economia tiene mucho para ofrecer en la comprension y en la orientacion de este comportamiento. Tambien proporciona herramientas para los tomadores de decisiones enfrentados a opciones dificiles. Como podemos comparar el valor de los beneficios ambientales con los costos de su preservacion? Como podemos evaluar los impactos de la intervencion ambiental (o de la no intervencion) sobre los pobres? Como deberiamos repartir los costos de las mejoras? Este libro expone la forma como investigadores en cuatro de las redes regionales de economia ambiental del IDRC han tratado cuestiones como estas en una gran variedad de situaciones en Asia, Africa y America Latina. Reune las percepciones de mas de 15 anos de investigaciones y evalua sus impactos sobre las politicas publicas y sobre la comunidad cientifica. Concluye con una mirada hacia el futuro de la economia ambiental en el mundo en desarrollo. EL AUTORDavid Glover dirige el Programa de Economia Ambiental del Centro Internacional de Investigaciones para el Desarrollo de Canada. Ha trabajado en el IDRC desde 1982, primero como Director de Politica Economica y desde 1993 hasta 2006 como director fundador del Programa Economico y Ambiental para el Sudeste Asiatico. El Dr. Glover posee un doctorado en Economia Politica de la Universidad de Toronto y es autor de numerosas publicaciones sobre medio ambiente, comercio y politicas agricolas.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book excerpt: Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent attempts to challenge the primacy of reason--and its realization in foundationalist accounts of knowledge and cognitive formulations of human action--have focused on processes of discourse. Drawing from social and literary accounts of discourse, Kenneth Gergen considers these challenges to empiricism under the banner of "social construction." His aim is to outline the major elements of a social constructionist perspective, to illustrate its potential, and to initiate debate on the future of constructionist pursuits in the human sciences generally and psychology in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

Book excerpt: Desde una nueva visón de desarrollo, marcadamente pluridisciplinar y capaz de integrar junto a los tradicionales elementos económicos consideraciones de carácter social y medioambiental, ‘Ecología y economía para un desarrollo sostenible’ muestra las pautas necesarias para afrontar el reto que para el futuro más inmediato supone el desarrollo sostenible. Si bien siguen habiendo divergencias en cuanto a los contenidos de dicho concepto, existe un amplio consenso en que la economía debe abrirse a otros conocimientos científicos. Tanto es así que sólo un entorno económico que facilite una mayor igualdad y una mayor justicia hará posible un desarrollo efectivamente sostenible. En este libro se reproducen buena parte de los materiales del curso que, dirigido por Luis M. Jiménez Herrero y coordinado por Francisco J. Higón Tamarit, se llevó a cabo en la Universidad Menéndez y Pelayo, en su sede de Valencia, en octubre de 2000

This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume integrates a conceptual framework with participatory methodologies to understand the complexities of dryland socio-ecological systems, and to address challenges and opportunities for stewardship of future drylands and climate change in the global south. Through several case studies, the book offers a transdisciplinary and participatory approach to understand the complexity of socio-ecological systems, to co-produce accurate resource management plans for sustained stewardship, and to drive social learning and polycentric governance. This systemic framework permits the study of human-nature interrelationships through time and in particular contexts, with a focus on achieving progress in accordance with the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. The book is divided into four main sections: 1) drylands and socio-ecological systems, 2) transdisciplinarity in drylands, 3) interculturality in drylands, and 4) the governance of drylands. Expert contributors address topics such as pastoralism and the characteristics of successful agricultural lands, the sustainable development goals and drylands, dryland modernization, and arid land governance with a focus on Mexico. The volume will be of interest to dryland researchers, sustainable development practitioners and policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba Verde es una pequeña contribución internacional al reto que plantea la búsqueda de modelos de sustentabilidad para el siglo XXI desde una perspectiva alternativa al modelo liberal. La solución a la problemática ambiental demanda un nuevo pensamiento que desvele su complejidad, cómo tratarla y cómo comprenderla desde planteamientos radicales del pensamiento ecologista, y esta obra que presentamos responde a esa inquietud recogiendo los puntos de vista de una cantidad importante de autores de distintos países, con enfoques científicos y disciplinarios variados. En ella están juntos el agricultor, el educador, el investigador, el filósofo, el físico, el biólogo, el economista, el historiador, el jurista, el sociólogo, el ciudadano..., cada uno con una particular percepción del problema que refleja la propia naturaleza del tema que se estudia, es decir, la manifestación múltiple del problema ecológico. Los ocho capítulos de los que consta este libro han sido ordenados jerárquicamente en tres niveles de generalidad, desde un repaso al estado del planeta, al proceso de formación de una conciencia ambientalista a nivel global y a la educación ambiental (capítulos I y II), hasta el estudio de los asuntos referidos a la protección de la diversidad biológica y la energía (capítulos III y IV), y de estos a problemas estructurales tales como el debate sobre la posibilidad de una economía ecológica y un socialismo verde, la gobernabilidad basada en la comunidad, las transformaciones institucionales y legales para un futuro sostenible, y las perspectivas para el nuevo milenio (capítulos V a VIII).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
