Reúne información, resultados, experiencias y perspectivas de grupos de investigación de humedales costeros, desde el extremo norte hasta Chiloé. Existen aspectos como la conectividad, confluencia de flora y fauna, interacción entre componentes ecosistémicos y el comportamiento de estos ecosistemas frente a perturbaciones naturales y antrópicas. Por eso que el libro está dividido en dos secciones. En la primera, se da cuenta del estado y situación de los componentes claves de los humedales costeros de toda la costa lineal de nuestro país: geomorfología e hidrología, la flora y la avifauna. En la segunda sección se entregan ejemplos de investigación tanto descriptiva como experimental de casos particulares de estudio, en los cuales además para algunos casos se hace un análisis de la respuesta de estos ecosistemas a perturbaciones naturales (tales como el Tsunami del 2010) o antrópicas (como el efecto del mal manejo ambiental de las cuencas, la alteración del paisaje y territorio o el mal uso y administración del territorio).

The present work inquires into the phyto-cultural interrelationships of two Huecoid communities that inhabited Vieques and Puerto Rico (La Hueca and Punta Candelero) around 2300 years ago. The primary objectives of this investigation were, among others: to characterize for the first time the agroeconomy of these communities and to interpret the role of plants as humanized natural objects which were consciously used during the movement of these peoples across the insular Caribbean. This investigation offers the first archaeological interpretation, supported by a systematic archaeobotanical study, of some of the socio-cultural processes that made it possible for two Huecoid communities to persist and evolve in a dynamic landscape of human and natural interactions in the northern Antilles.

This is part of a two-tiered course taking students to GCSE or Standard grade. Volume 1 establishes a linguistic base through the use of narrative, encouraging the student to produce and comprehend language. This student's book is accompanied by workbooks and cassettes.

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. El libro es de especial interés para la sociedad, los académicos y estudiantes, los tomadores de decisión y los políticos y representa sin duda un parteaguas científico y motivo de consulta para la implementación de instrumentos de política ambiental.

This book 23 chapters shows the political, social and ecological context of restoration experiences carried out in nine ecosystems located in 13 Mexican states, with a variety of scales, times, and levels of intervention, and a focus social, experimental and/or practical. The work is aimed at researchers, students and professionals Mexicans whose scope includes ecosystem restoration. Additionally, it is a tool for decision makers and public policy makers. Our main goal is to lay the foundations for the establishment of an environmental governance in terms of ecosystem restoration in Mexico, where all sectors of society can participate. We hope the restoration in Mexico it becomes a practice of hope and, above all,strengthen the ecological basis of human survival.

Housed in the former 16th-century convent of Santo Domingo church, now the Regional Museum of Oaxaca, Mexico, is an important collection of textiles representing the area’s indigenous cultures. The collection includes a wealth of exquisitely made traditional weavings, many that are now considered rare. The Unbroken Thread: Conserving the Textile Traditions of Oaxaca details a joint project of the Getty Conservation Institute and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) of Mexico to conserve the collection and to document current use of textile traditions in daily life and ceremony. The book contains 145 color photographs of the valuable textiles in the collection, as well as images of local weavers and project participants at work. Subjects include anthropological research, ancient and present-day weaving techniques, analyses of natural dyestuffs, and discussions of the ethical and practical considerations involved in working in Latin America to conserve the materials and practices of living cultures.

Acta 46 comprises 64 articles. Out of the 120 scheduled lectures and posters presented at the 31st Congress of the Rei Cretariæ Romanæ Favtores, 61 are included in the present volume, to which three further were added. Given the location of the conference in Romania it seems natural that there is a particular focus on the Balkans and Danube.
