Los mapas de riesgo son la principal herramienta en la prevención, control y gestión de medidas ante un evento, natural o no, que pueda afectar el normal funcionamiento de elementos expuestos a dicho evento. En el caso de España el fenómeno natural con mayores consecuencias tanto a nivel económico como social son las inundaciones. La importancia que la gestión de riesgo de inundaciones ocupa en un país desarrollado como el nuestro, más las implicaciones de este fenómeno tanto en el ámbito ingenieril como el social, cultural y educacional, me han llevado a la realización de este trabajo en un intento por aumentar mis conocimientos en este ámbito e intentar implementar algunas ideas nuevas a los estudios que ya se emplean en la estimación de daños por inundación. En el cuerpo del proyecto he querido presentar los conceptos principales que componen los mapas de riesgo de inundación como son la peligrosidad, vulnerabilidad, y riesgo. Estos conceptos nos ayudaran a comprender la estructura que conforma los mapas de riesgo que dividiremos en mapas de peligrosidad y mapas de vulnerabilidad. Se expondrá el método de como a partir de estos mapas y la ayuda de curvas de daño de inundaciones, para diferentes elementos, se llega a una estimación económica para un evento determinado, es decir, al mapa de riesgo. También, veremos cómo el vehículo, un elemento altamente susceptible en eventos de inundación, no se tiene en cuenta en los mapas de riesgo actuales hasta el punto de que en España no existen, hoy en día, curvas de daño de vehículos. Seguidamente, se ha realizado un análisis comparativo de dos grupos de curvas de daño de vehículos realizadas por dos organismos americanos distintos, las primeras realizadas por el U.S. Army Corps of Engineers y las segundas por la Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Propondremos un método para la recopilación de datos de los vehículos estacionados y circulando de la Avenida del Paralelo, para su posterior estimación de daños utilizando los dos grupos de curvas. Finalmente, he llegado a la conclusión que las curvas propuestas por la FEMA se adaptan mucho mejor a nuestro caso. Evaluaremos que resultados y en que rangos se pueden extrapolar a otras vías de Barcelona para poder hacer una estimación de daños de vehículos en un área más extensa, con la finalidad de incluir el vehículo en la realización de mapas de riesgo de inundación.

Balbino,"a boy from a village", a "nobody" who writes a notebook about everything that happens to him within the repressed and stifling society of Galicia in the thirties and forties. He tells of the moral and social atmosphere that prevails asking and answering questions and details the most elemental social struggle. There is also however the story of a true but impossible love. This book was first printed in Argentina in 1961 and became one of the most successful Galician books published. It has a lyrical style that immediately evokes sights and sounds of this part of Spain. The author Xosé Neira Vilas writes from his experiences of the era and the lifestyle of boys growing up in that society and provides a rich insight to life of the peasant boy "Balbino".

This book aims to further advance the field of reintroduction biology beyond the considerable progress made since the formation of the IUCN/SSC Re-introduction Specialist Group. Using an issue-based framework that purposely avoids a structure based on case studies the book's central theme is advocating a strategic approach to reintroduction where all actions are guided by explicit theoretical frameworks based on clearly defined objectives. Issues covered include husbandry and intensive management, monitoring, and genetic and health management. Although taxonomically neutral there is a recognised dominance of bird and mammal studies that reflects the published research in this field. The structure and content are designed for use by people wanting to bridge the research-management gap, such as conservation managers wanting to expand their thinking about reintroduction-related decisions, or researchers who seek to make useful applied contributions to reintroduction.

Lake Titicaca, because of its area and volume and its situation at high attitude within the tropics, is a unique hydrological site in the world. It should be noted that it stands at the transition point between two very distinct geographical regions: the desert fringe of the Pacific coast to the west and the great Amazonian forest extending to the Atlantic coast to the east. Many scientists have been attracted to the lake in the past because of its unusual limnological features. In this book the editors have compiled an exhaustive review of current knowledge from the existing literature and from the results of more recent observations. It is certain that this book will become the essential reference work for scientists wanting to make progress in revealing the lake's secrets. It can be stated unequivocally that this work constitutes a complete review of the present state of knowledge on Lake Titicaca and that it provides the latest results of research on this habitat.

Cities of Tomorrow is a critical history of planning in theory and practice in the twentieth century, as well as of the social and economic problems and opportunities that gave rise to it. Trenchant, perceptive, global in coverage, this book is an unrivalled account of its crucial subject. The third edition of Cities of Tomorrow is comprehensively revised to take account of abundant new literature published since its original appearance, and to view the 1990s in historical perspective. This is the definitive edition, reviewing the development of the modern planning movement over the entire span of the twentieth century.

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.
