Mexico Megacity

Autor: James B Pick

Número de Páginas: 431

This book describes and analyzes a wealth of data about Mexico Citys growth, change, and spatial patterns. Applying modern techniques of geographic information systems and cluster analysis, the authors reveal many previously unknown or unrecognized trends and patterns. The authors provide historical background, analyze key findings and relationships, and tie their results to the literature on Mexico City and other giant cities. The United Nations predicts the emergence of many more giant cities worldwide over the next quarter century, most of which will appear in the developing world. Mexico Megacity may be a milestone from a comparative perspective in increasing knowledge about one developing world megacity and offering analytical tools to study others. With a population of 15 million persons in 1990, Mexico City is one of the worlds largest cities. It is a famous center of civilizations and culture and one of the economic capitals of the Americas, but it also has serious social and economic problems, including large impoverished zones, severe environmental degradation, crime, and overpopulation. This book describes and analyzes growth, change, and spatial patterns in Mexico...

Golfo de México

Autor: Alfonso Vázquez Botello

Número de Páginas: 738

el presente libro es la respuesta a la necesidad de información básica y una importante contribución del Centro de Ecología, Pesquerías y Oceanógrafa del Golfo de México (EPOMEX) de la Universidad Autónoma de Campeche y del esfuerzo de 62 académicos de 31 instituciones nacionales y extranjeras, incluyendo especialistas muy destacados. La obra refleja también la alta prioridad que el país le otorga al Golfo como ecosistema, no solo por su importancia energética, alimentaria y de economía industrial, sino tambiénpor la trascendencia social del deterioro y la vulnerabilidad que muestra en relación con sus polos de desarrollo y de progreso costero.

Air Quality in the Mexico Megacity

Air Quality in the Mexico Megacity

Autor: L. Molina

Número de Páginas: 401

In this book, experts in atmospheric sciences, human health, economics, social and political sciences contribute to an integrated assessment of the complex elements needed to structure air quality policy in the 21st century. The analysis is developed through a case study of the Mexico City Metropolitan Area - one of the world's largest megacities in which air pollution grew unchecked for decades. The international research team is led by Luisa T. and Mario J. Molina, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Improvements in Mexico City's air quality in the last decade testifies to the power of determined and enlightened policy making, and throws into relief the tough problems that remain to be solved. The volume's first six chapters, including the contributions of over 50 distinguished scholars from Mexico and the US, outline the fundamental areas of knowledge policy makers must accommodate. The message is that only good science and well-chosen technologies can direct the way to corrective regulatory measures; but without strong commitment from government, no amount of science or technology can help.

Changing Climates in North American Politics

Changing Climates in North American Politics

Autor: Henrik Selin , Stacy D. Vandeveer

Número de Páginas: 706

In this age of high fuel prices and concern with continuing availability of oil, scientists are working on a number of approaches to alternate fuel sources. These concerns may provoke interest in how some people in gas-starved Europe dealt with such problems throughout the war years, 1939-1945. One of the most successful innovations, were the so-called "gas producer" vehicles that utilized the by-products of solid fuel combustion, employing such solids as coal, charcoal, turf, and wood to produce fuel gas for a standard internal combustion engine. This book provides an overview of such vehicles, including those used by the Wehrmacht. Schematics of operating systems and the regulations concerning their use are also included, along with a translated German illustrated operators manual. - Publisher.

Technical Challenges of Multipollutant Air Quality Management

Autor: George M. Hidy , Jeffrey R. Brook , Kenneth L. Demerjian , Luisa T. Molina , William T. Pennell , Richard D. Scheffe

Número de Páginas: 573

Recent critiques of air quality management approaches currently employed in developed and many developing countries have suggested that efficiencies could be achieved if air quality management practices shifted from pollutant-by-pollutant approaches to a comprehensive multipollutant approach in which emission reduction decisions are based on relative risk and evaluated on their effectiveness in meeting environmental and health goals. This book assesses our technical readiness to undertake such an approach, and it outlines the technical developments that will be needed to achieve a risk-based approach air quality management that includes means for measuring the effectiveness of management decisions.
