Frontier Making in the Amazon - Antonio Augusto Rossotto Ioris - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Frontier Making in the Amazon - Antonio Augusto Rossotto Ioris - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book discusses the outcomes of more than ten years of research in the southern tracts of the Amazon region, and addresses the expansion of the agricultural frontier, consolidation of the agribusiness-based economy, and expansion of regional infrastructure (roads, dams, urban centres, etc). It combines extensive empirical evidence with the international literature on frontier-making and regional Amazonian development, and adopts a critical politico-geographical perspective that will benefit scholars in various other disciplines. This book is intended to push the current theoretical and methodological boundaries regarding the controversies and impacts of agribusiness in the region. A new international scientific network, led by the author, is investigating the broader context of the themes analysed here.

Communism, Political Power and Personal Freedom in Marx - Levy Del Aguila Marchena - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Communism, Political Power and Personal Freedom in Marx - Levy Del Aguila Marchena - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book investigates communism in Marx''s writings, incorporating a consideration of communist politicity . The author outlines the arguments by which it is possible to sustain-from Marx-the idea that human emancipation against capital also means the elimination of the State, the public, and the political dimension of praxis. He also posits that the concrete tasks of the "management of the common" in a communist society require political mediations that allow us to confront the difference inherent to the personality of freely associated producers, as well as the ontological finitude from which no technical power can evade. Finally, assuming Marx as a starting point whose work remains an inescapable source for "thinking communism," the book proposes a research agenda from Marx and beyond to continue in this imperative task. ​Levy del Aguila Marchena is Senior Professor and Chair of the Department of Management Sciences at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. He has published extensively on Marx, political philosophy, and applied ethics.

Archaeology of the Hunter-Gatherers of the Central Mountains of Tierra del Fuego - Hernan Horacio De Angelis - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

Archaeology of the Hunter-Gatherers of the Central Mountains of Tierra del Fuego - Hernan Horacio De Angelis - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

This work book contributes to the knowledge about human settlements in the Isla Grande of Tierra Del Fuego by the hunter-gatherer societies that inhabited the area until the early twentieth century. The central theme is the study of technological organization as an approach to the management strategies of biotic and abiotic resources, as well as the occupation of space, considering the different environments represented in the area and the differential supply of resources. As a general framework, the book proposes instrumental methodologies that allow us to look at the characterization of the social and economic organization of hunter-gatherer societies from the point of view of the analysis of natural resources management, the resources introduced by Europeans and the spatial organization of technical activities.

Differentiable Manifolds - Gerardo F. Torres Del Castillo - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Differentiable Manifolds - Gerardo F. Torres Del Castillo - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This textbook gives a concise introduction to the theory of differentiable manifolds, focusing on their applications to differential equations, differential geometry, and Hamiltonian mechanics. The first three chapters introduce the basic concepts of the theory, such as differentiable maps, tangent vectors, vector and tensor fields, differential forms, local one-parameter groups of diffeomorphisms, and Lie derivatives. These tools are subsequently employed in the study of differential equations, connections, Riemannian manifolds, Lie groups, and Hamiltonian mechanics. Throughout, the book contains examples, worked out in detail, as well as exercises intended to show how the formalism is applied to actual computations and to emphasize the connections among various areas of mathematics. This second edition greatly expands upon the first by including more examples, additional exercises, and new topics, such as the moment map and fiber bundles. Detailed solutions to every exercise are also provided. Differentiable Manifolds is addressed to advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in mathematics or physics. Prerequisites include multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and a basic knowledge of analytical mechanicsReview of the first edition:This book presents an introduction to differential geometry and the calculus on manifolds with a view on some of its applications in physics. … The present author has succeeded in writing a book which has its own flavor and its own emphasis, which makes it certainly a valuable addition to the literature on the subject.

Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South - Nicoletta Del Franco - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South - Nicoletta Del Franco - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a nuanced, complex, comparative analysis of adolescent girls'' migration and mobility in the Global South. The stories and the narratives of migrant girls collected in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sudan guide the readers in drawing the contours of their lives on the move, a complex, fluid scenario of choices, constraints, setbacks, risks, aspirations and experiences in which internal or international migration plays a pivotal role. The main argument of the book is that migration of adolescent girls intersects with other important transitions in their lives, such as those related to education, work, marriage and childbearing, and that this affects their transition into adulthood in various ways. While migration is sometimes negative, it can also offer girls new and better opportunities with positive implications for their future lives. The book explores also how concepts of adolescence and adulthood for girls are being transformed in the context of migration.

Gramsci and the Emancipation of the Subaltern Classes - Marcos Del Roio - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Gramsci and the Emancipation of the Subaltern Classes - Marcos Del Roio - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book outlines essential issues of Antonio Gramsci''s thought, from his relationship to other political thinkers, including Rosa Luxemburg, Lenin, and Machiavelli; the development of his key conceptual categories; and the applicability of those categories in contemporary contexts. The author demonstrates how Gramsci''s revolutionary strategy begins with the knowledge of the subaltern classes'' common sense, and their elements of rebellion, in order to establish a dialectical relationship between intellectuals and the masses. That relationship promotes collective intellectual progress, ultimately leading to an effective philosophy of praxis, founded on labor and a new hegemony. The book demonstrates that Gramsci''s thought offers possibilities for understanding the serious crises of today.

Gatekeeping in the Evolving Business of Independent Film Distribution - Roderik Smits - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Gatekeeping in the Evolving Business of Independent Film Distribution - Roderik Smits - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book is about the business of distribution, around which the international film business revolves. Considering sales agents and distributors as primary gatekeepers, the book examines the networks in which they operate, how they operate, how their practices have evolved, and the power and control they exert over the business of independent film distribution. Critically, it also considers how they are affected by the powerful influence of Netflix and Amazon in the online era. At a time of disruption and change to traditional business models and industry professions, Roderik Smits argues that gatekeepers remain equally - if not more - crucial to the distribution and circulation of films in international markets.

Indigenous Perceptions of the End of the World - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Indigenous Perceptions of the End of the World - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This edited volume constructs a ''cosmopolitics'' of climate change, consulting small-scale sustainable communities on whether the world is ending and why, and how we can take action to prevent it. By comparing scientific and indigenous accounts of the same phenomenon, contributors seek to broaden Western understandings of what climate change constitutes. In this context, existing cosmologies are challenged, opening spaces for hegemonic narratives to enter into conversation with the non-modern and construct ''worlds otherwise''-situations of world change and renewal through climate change. Bold brings together perspectives from Central America, Mexico, the Amazon, and the Andes to converse with scientific narratives of climate change and create cracks that bring new worlds into being for readers.

Rational Investing with Ratios - Yannick Coulon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Rational Investing with Ratios - Yannick Coulon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Explaining the underlying logic behind financial ratios, this book adds to the discussion on the importance and implementation of ratios and illustrates the essential role that they play in company evaluations and investment screening. The author explores how ratios establish a proportional relationship between accounting and market data, and when well-integrated into a global company vision, can become powerful indicators capable of outlining relevant information and identifying warning signs. Going beyond merely listing possible ratios and looking further into their implementation, each ratio family is demonstrated with numerous graphs and practical case studies involving companies such as Amazon, Walmart and Alibaba. With a focus on behavioral finance and enterprise value, this innovative Palgrave Pivot will be of interest to investors, bankers and entrepreneurs, as well as finance scholars and students.

Global Governance of the Environment, Indigenous Peoples and the Rights of Nature - Linda Etchart - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Global Governance of the Environment, Indigenous Peoples and the Rights of Nature - Linda Etchart - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the obstacles facing indigenous communities, non-governmental organizations, governments, and international institutions in their attempts to protect the cultures of indigenous peoples and the world’s remaining rainforests. Indigenous peoples are essential as guardians of the world’s wild places for the maintenance of ecosystems and the prevention of climate change. The Amazonian/Andean indigenous philosophies of sumac kawsay/suma qamaña (buen vivir) were the inspiration for the incorporation of the Rights of Nature into the Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions of 2008 and 2009. Yet despite the creation of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (2000), and the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), indigenous peoples have been marginalized from intergovernmental environmental negotiations. Indigenous environment protectors’ lives are in danger while the Amazon rainforests continue to burn. By the third decade of the 21st century, the dawn of “woke” capitalism was accompanied by the expansion of ethical investment, with BlackRock leading the field in the “greening” of investment management, while Big Oil sought a career change in sustainable energy production. The final chapters explain the confluence of forces that has resulted in the continued expansion of the extractive frontier into indigenous territory in the Amazon, including areas occupied by peoples living in voluntary isolation. Among these forces are legal and extracurricular payments made to individuals, within indigenous communities and in state entities, and the use of tax havens to deposit unofficial payments made to secure public contracts. Solutions to loss of biodiversity and climate change may be found as much in the transformation of global financial and tax systems in terms of transparency and accountability, as in efforts by states, intergovernmental institutions and private foundations to protect wild areas through the designation of national parks, through climate finance, and other “sustainable” investment strategies.
