DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 61 are as follows: AnthropologyEconomicsGeographyGovernment and PoliticsPolitical EconomyInternational RelationsSociology

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGeography is a discipline with a profound interdisciplinary character focusing on studying the complex interactions between nature and society. Geography can advance the level of knowledge and awareness and provide important contributions to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. This book explores some of these issues, while also disseminating and supporting the efforts of geographers worldwide to promote the implementation of the SDGs. It offers local and global perspectives to a variety of topics covered by the SDGs, such as: How do different actors such as universities, companies and education actors respond to Sustainable Development Goals, especially during the complex context of the COVID pandemic? What is the role of novel spatial technologies and open/big data in achieving SDGs and how can Geography assist? How are new eco-social challenges positioned in a post-pandemic global change? What are novel educational contexts and resources that can be used to transform society toward sustainability of socioecological systems? What conceptual frameworks and strategies can contribute to the construction of societies based on human welfare and the care of nature? This book is focused on innovative sustainability-oriented geographical research on the above (and more) topics that explore the diverse social, environmental, economic and cultural contexts at various spatial scales. It also includes chapters that report on geographical education initiatives in schools and universities, the implication of geographers in community-based learning and increasing community's awareness in terms of environment, climate change and sustainable development as well as chapters that make use of geospatial technologies (e.g., remote sensing, GIS, etc.) both in geographical research and education for sustainable development are particularly relevant for the book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA partir de 1950 se presentó un fenómeno de urbanización acelerada de las ciudades, y que fue motivado por la industrialización, los problemas de violencia, desigualdad social y omisión política. Trajo consigo una serie de conflictos sociales, económicos y ambientales que desembocaron en problemas de insostenibilidad, crecimiento desmedido y desorganizado, deforestación y uso indiscriminado de ecosistemas, contaminación, sobrepoblación, entre otros. La teoría de las mallas urbanas desplazadas es la respuesta que genera el siglo xxi a estas problemáticas que el siglo xx dejó tras de sí. Estas teorías comprenden propuestas de mallas urbanas flexibles y adaptables a las necesidades de la ciudad a corto y largo plazo. El libro propone, además, un sistema de superposición y desplazamiento de las mismas para que los diferentes usos urbanos de distintas jerarquías se entrecrucen continuamente en el tejido urbano de modo tal que se logre una multiplicidad de usos interconectados. Este entrecruzamiento de actividades permite reducir la necesidad de desplazamiento, facilita la movilidad vial, y comprende y aplica el concepto de ciudad líquida y vital. El autor expone las ventajas de la aplicación de las mallas urbanas a nivel histórico, contextual, natural, artificial y social, dejando abiertas las puertas a las propuestas de ciudades sostenibles y líquidas basadas en esta teoría para el mejoramiento y recuperación de los espacios urbanos en el siglo XXI.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.
