Book Synopsis El fin del paradigma de la era ambiental by : Juan Manuel March
Download or read book El fin del paradigma de la era ambiental written by Juan Manuel March and published by Ediciones Lilium. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro se basa y se inspira en la visión epistemológica de la obra del antropólogo Gregory Bateson titulada Steps to an Ecology of Mind (1976) y en la obra de James Lovelock GAIA: Una nueva visión de la vida sobre la Tierra (1983) que por primera vez presenta a la Tierra como un ser vivo. A estas dos obras se las concibe como escalones que llevan hacia una nueva consciencia holística del cosmos, una consciencia que excede a las explicaciones que son únicamente intelectuales sino que implica otro tipo de vivencia del ser, del estar-en-el-mundo, de representar nuestro rol como culturas en el planeta. En tal sentido, a lo largo de esta obra se propondrán las claves cognitivas y conceptuales para ampliar la concepción filosófica y antropológica de definiciones y conceptos referidos a la visión del ambiente. Asimismo, en este libro se analizará la concepción de "ambiente" en las distintas Épocas asociadas a distintas etapas en el cambio cultural de la Humanidad. Además, es necesario señalar que el "ambiente" constituye una categoría cognitiva y conceptual tan amplia como compleja y multifactorial, tangible e intangible. Y que en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, el surgimiento de un conjunto de problemáticas ecológicas derivadas de los efectos antrópicos sobre el entorno lo volvieron un objeto complejo que se hizo cada vez más visible y sólido a la vez que infinito e inasible, una entidad presente en la vida cotidiana pero que excede la representaciones psíquicas por su alto grado de complejidad en sí mismo. El "ambiente" se volvió la neonaturaleza del ciudadano global del ciudadano del siglo XXI. Y, además, se explicará por qué ha colapsado el paradigma de Era Ambiental – la época actual – y los fundamentos del surgimiento de una nueva época, la Era Gaiana.

Book Synopsis The North American Mosaic by : Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . 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 Synopsis COLETåNEA GEPOS by : Iraildes Caldas Torres
Download or read book COLETåNEA GEPOS written by Iraildes Caldas Torres and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.

Download or read book Urbicide written by Fernando Carrión Mena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the reflection of academics specialized in the urban area of Latin America, Europe and the United States, to initiate a comparative debate of the different dynamics in which Urbicidio expresses itself. The field or focal point of analysis that this publication approaches is the city, but under a new critical perspective of inverse methodology to that has been traditional used. It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism. It is a deep look at the city from an unconventional entrance, because it is about knowing and analyzing what the city loses by the action deployed by own urbanites, both in the field of its production and in the field of its consumption. This suppose that the city does not have an ascending linear sequential evolution in its development but neither in each of its parts in the improvement process, showing the face that commonly not seen but others live. The category used for this purpose is that of Urbicidio or the death of the city, which contributes theoretically and methodologically to the knowledge of the city, as well as to the design of urban policies that neutralize it. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the book has an inclusive view of the authors. For this reason, gender parity, territorial representation and the presence of age groups have been sought.
Book Synopsis The Role of Fraternity in Law by : Adriana Cosseddu
Download or read book The Role of Fraternity in Law written by Adriana Cosseddu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection discusses the concept of fraternity and examines the issue of its role in law. Since the end of World War II, fraternity has been cited in several national constitutional charters, in addition to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But is there space for fraternity in law? The contributions to this book form an ideal “bridge” between the past and present to trace the different pathways taken to address the meaning of fraternity, and to identify its possible legal relevance. The book lays out paths that have placed fraternity in varied and challenging legal contexts in an age of globalization and conflict, where the multiplicity of national and supranational sources of law seems to show its inadequacy to govern complexity, and coexistence between diversities that appear irreconcilable. The purpose is not to recover fraternity as a forgotten principle, but to reimagine it today to address the aim and force of law within a plurality of cultures. The analysis considers a possible universal dimension that models unity within diversity, and aspires to serve as a prologue to a transition from research to dialogue between different legal systems and traditions. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Comparative Law, Legal History and Legal Philosophy.
Book Synopsis Environmental Transformations by : Mark Whitehead
Download or read book Environmental Transformations written by Mark Whitehead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the depths of the oceans to the highest reaches of the atmosphere, the human impact on the environment is significant and undeniable. These forms of global and local environmental change collectively appear to signal the arrival of a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. This is a geological era defined not by natural environmental fluctuations or meteorite impacts, but by collective actions of humanity. Environmental Transformations offers a concise and accessible introduction to the human practices and systems that sustain the Anthropocene. It combines accounts of the carbon cycle, global heat balances, entropy, hydrology, forest ecology and pedology, with theories of demography, war, industrial capitalism, urban development, state theory and behavioural psychology. This book charts the particular role of geography and geographers in studying environmental change and its human drivers. It provides a review of critical theories that can help to uncover the socio-economic and political factors that influence environmental change. It also explores key issues in contemporary environmental studies, such as resource use, water scarcity, climate change, industrial pollution and deforestation. These issues are ‘mapped’ through a series of geographical case studies to illustrate the particular value of geographical notions of space, place and scale, in uncovering the complex nature of environmental change in different socio-economic, political and cultural contexts. Finally, the book considers the different ways in which nations, communities and individuals around the world are adapting to environmental change in the twenty-first century. Particular attention is given throughout to the uneven geographical opportunities that different communities have to adapt to environmental change and to the questions of social justice this situation raises. This book encourages students to engage in the scientific uncertainties that surround the study of environmental change, while also discussing both pessimistic and more optimistic views on the ability of humanity to address the environmental challenges of our current era.

Book Synopsis The Angry Earth by : Anthony Oliver-Smith
Download or read book The Angry Earth written by Anthony Oliver-Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Angry Earth explores how various cultures in different historical moments have responded to calamity, offering insight into the complex relationship between societies and their environments. From hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes to oil spills and nuclear accidents, disasters triggered by both natural and technological hazards have become increasingly frequent and destructive across the planet. Through case studies drawn from around the globe the contributors to this volume examine issues ranging from the social and political factors that set the stage for disaster, to the cultural processes experienced by survivors, to the long-term impact of disasters on culture and society. In the second edition, each chapter has been updated with a postscript to reflect on recent developments in the field. There is also new material on key present-day topics including epidemics, drought, non-governmental organizations, and displacement and resettlement. This book demonstrates the relevance of studying disaster from an anthropological perspective and is a valuable resource not only for anthropologists but for other fields concerned with education, policy and practice.
Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.
Book Synopsis Global Environmental Constitutionalism by : James R. May
Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.
