"La crisis climática, resultado del proceso incesante de generación y acumulación de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera por actividad humana diferenciada y cuya variabilidad climática se intensifica y persiste con impactos impredecibles, sumada a la pandemia actual por la Covid19, desnudan las injusticias que persisten, ya que la pandemia, en razón a su carácter incierto, está radicalizando las diferentes formas de dominio que la sociedad hipercibernética concentra, afectando de manera directa e indirecta los derechos ambientales de los seres humanos y demás seres en la Naturaleza. Los aportes del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales – GIDCA, presentados en este libro que lleva por título Derechos Ambientales y afectaciones en tiempos de crisis ambiental y pandemia, corresponden a la primera parte del Informe de Investigación 20192020 (el libro que recoge la segunda parte es Afectaciones a Derechos Ambientales en tiempos de crisis climática y pandemia: algunos estudios de caso), responden a los diversos resultados del proceso investigativo en este período y expresan la idea según la cual, la excepcionalidad que se predica con ocasión de la ocurrencia y vigencia de la pandemia originada por el coronavirus no es el surgimiento de esta situación, sino su persistencia, en la que un agente biológico desnuda totalmente la crisis ambiental y civilizatoria que lleva ya muchas décadas de imposición por las medidas de fuerza del mercado en la era del capitaloceno. Estas medidas profundizan desigualdades, discriminaciones, exclusiones y marginaciones en contra de la vida y la dignidad ambiental es decir, tanto de la vida humana, como ecosistémica, requiriendo exigencias de responsabilidad y deberes de protección ambiental, una reconceptualización de la educación ambiental en estricto sentido, debates sobre los sujetos interculturales, los límites a las prácticas de la fracturación hidráulica y elementos de diálogos interculturales entre campesinos e indígenas como idea de respuesta a conflictos en los territorios."

On the eve of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Fernando J. R. da Rocha challenged environmental philosophers to suggest and develop effective ways in which universities might engender ecological literacy and environmental ethics. The result was a preconference held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, whose aim was to put the summit in philosophical perspective, influence its outcome, and chart a new course, linking environment and ethics through university education. This book is an outgrowth of the Porto Alegre conference, and the international environmental philosophers and educators represented here inaugurate a constructive dialogue that will continue well into the twenty-first century. Among the contributors to the volume are environmental philosophers Andrew Brennan, J. Baird Callicott, Fernando J. R. da Rocha, and Holmes Ralston, III, and education theorists Peter Madsen and John Lemons. In addition, the book introduces English-language readers to the work of French philosopher Catherine Larrere, Spanish philosopher Nicholas Sosa, and Brazil's radical former Secretary for the Environment and deep ecologist Jose Lutzenberger.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

The Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology presents a comprehensive and authoritative examination of the rapidly growing field of political ecology. Located at the intersection of geography, anthropology, sociology, and environmental history, political ecology is one of the most vibrant and conceptually diverse fields of inquiry into nature-society relations within the social sciences. The Handbook serves as an essential guide to this rapidly evolving intellectual landscape. With contributions from over 50 leading authors, the Handbook presents a systematic overview of political ecology’s origins, practices and core concerns, and aims to advance both ongoing and emerging debates. While there are numerous edited volumes, textbooks, and monographs under the heading ‘political ecology,’ these have tended to be relatively narrow in scope, either as collections of empirically based (mostly case study) research on a given theme, or broad overviews of the field aimed at undergraduate audiences. The Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology is the first systematic, comprehensive overview of the field. With authors from North and South America, Europe, Australia and elsewhere, the Handbook of Political Ecology provides a state of the art examination of political ecology; addresses ongoing and emerging debates in this rapidly evolving field; and charts new agendas for research, policy, and activism. The Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology introduces political ecology as an interdisciplinary academic field. By presenting a ‘state of the art’ examination of the field, it will serve as an invaluable resource for students and scholars. It not only critically reviews the key debates in the field, but develops them. The Handbook will serve as an excellent resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate teaching, and is a key reference text for geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, environmental historians, and others working in and around political ecology.

Esta obra corresponde a la segunda parte del Informe de Investigación 2021-2022 del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Colectivos y Ambientales (GIDCA), cuya parte general se publicó en el libro Crisis Ambiental, negación de derechos y estallido social. Como ha sido costumbre en nuestros procesos investigativos, los estudios de caso permiten contrastar los desarrollos teóricos formulados en la primera parte de nuestra investigación, con evaluaciones de aplicación o no del estándar ambiental constitucional, precisando retrocesos y algunos avances en la protección de derechos ambientales, aspecto que este período nos mostró con mayor claridad cómo las crisis y problemas afectaron de manera más profunda y diferenciada a pueblos, comunidades y sociedades marginalizadas en campos y ciudades.

"From a leader in the field of psychotherapy this new book is the first dedicated to the topic of the fear of contamination. The book starts by defining the disorder, before considering the various manifestations of this fear, examining both mental contamination and contact contamination, and feelings of disgust. Most significantly it develops a theory for how this problem can be treated, providing clinical guidelines - based around cognitive behavioural techniques."--BOOK JACKET.

Human societies are influencing nature in such a way that their independent analysis is no longer suitable. Fortunately, social-ecological systems provide a conceptual framework for the interconnected analysis of societies and ecosystems. However, in the case of Latin America, the complexity of social-ecological processes undermined a much-needed compilation of theoretical concepts, methods and case studies. Increasing readers’ understanding of such systems using a postnormal approach, the book discusses current concepts and methods with examples of studies from eight countries. It is a useful resource for social actors, government decision makers and scholars.
