"La crisis climática, resultado del proceso incesante de generación y acumulación de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera por actividad humana diferenciada y cuya variabilidad climática se intensifica y persiste con impactos impredecibles, sumada a la pandemia actual por la Covid19, desnudan las injusticias que persisten, ya que la pandemia, en razón a su carácter incierto, está radicalizando las diferentes formas de dominio que la sociedad hipercibernética concentra, afectando de manera directa e indirecta los derechos ambientales de los seres humanos y demás seres en la Naturaleza. Los aportes del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales – GIDCA, presentados en este libro que lleva por título Derechos Ambientales y afectaciones en tiempos de crisis ambiental y pandemia, corresponden a la primera parte del Informe de Investigación 20192020 (el libro que recoge la segunda parte es Afectaciones a Derechos Ambientales en tiempos de crisis climática y pandemia: algunos estudios de caso), responden a los diversos resultados del proceso investigativo en este período y expresan la idea según la cual, la excepcionalidad que se predica con ocasión de la ocurrencia y vigencia de la pandemia originada por el coronavirus no es el surgimiento de esta situación, sino su persistencia, en la que un agente biológico desnuda totalmente la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria que lleva ya muchas décadas de imposición por las medidas de fuerza del mercado en la era del capitaloceno. Estas medidas profundizan desigualdades, discriminaciones, exclusiones y marginaciones en contra de la vida y la dignidad ambiental es decir, tanto de la vida humana, como ecosistémica, requiriendo exigencias de responsabilidad y deberes de protección ambiental, una reconceptualización de la educación ambiental en estricto sentido, debates sobre los sujetos interculturales, los límites a las prácticas de la fracturación hidráulica y elementos de diálogos interculturales entre campesinos e indígenas como idea de respuesta a conflictos en los territorios."

"From a leader in the field of psychotherapy this new book is the first dedicated to the topic of the fear of contamination. The book starts by defining the disorder, before considering the various manifestations of this fear, examining both mental contamination and contact contamination, and feelings of disgust. Most significantly it develops a theory for how this problem can be treated, providing clinical guidelines - based around cognitive behavioural techniques."--BOOK JACKET.

The evidence is increasingly persuasive. We are changing the way our planet's physical systems work—irrevocably. These changes are global and interconnected and unavoidable. They are upon us already, making it virtually impossible for any modern society to continue its present trajectory of growth. This book provides a penetrating analysis of how we have come to this point, of why science and technology will fail to solve these problems, and of how we as a society must change in order to avoid ecological catastrophe. The scope is broad, the urgency of the message is impossible to ignore.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Integrating both social and historical factors, this radical analysis of the development of capitalism reveals the ever-deepening relationship between capital and ecology Finance. Climate. Food. Work. How are the crises of the twenty-first century connected? In Capitalism in the Web of Life, Jason W. Moore argues that the sources of today’s global turbulence have a common cause: capitalism as a way of organizing nature, including human nature. Drawing on environmentalist, feminist, and Marxist thought, Moore offers a groundbreaking new synthesis: capitalism as a “world-ecology” of wealth, power, and nature. Capitalism’s greatest strength—and the source of its problems—is its capacity to create Cheap Natures: labor, food, energy, and raw materials. That capacity is now in question. Rethinking capitalism through the pulsing and renewing dialectic of humanity-in-nature, Moore takes readers on a journey from the rise of capitalism to the modern mosaic of crisis. Capitalism in the Web of Life shows how the critique of capitalism-in-nature—rather than capitalism and nature—is key to understanding our predicament, and to pursuing the politics of liberation in the century ahead.

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.
