        Wattles

        Australian Acacia Species Around the World

        by David M Richardson, Johannes J. Le Roux, Elizabete Marchante, Narciso Aguilera, Joaquim Alonso, Samuel C. Andrew, Irene Barnes, Ashleigh M. Basel, Rita Bastos, Pierre Binggeli, Rachel M. Binks, Christophe Botella, Giuseppe Brundu, David Bush, Margaret Byrne, João A. Cabral, Jane Carruthers, Laura Celesti-Grapow, Julian M. Chan, Roland Cochard, Conceição M. Colaço, Peter J. Cunningham, Jorge Dias, Catherine R. Dickson, Liliana N. Duarte, Allan G. Ellis, Luís Fernandes, Nuno Fernandes, Eduardo Fuentes-Lillo, Andrés Fuentes-Ramírez, Rachael V. Gallagher, Rafael García, Sjirk Geerts, Michelle R. Gibson, Margherita Gioria, Catarina Gonçalves, João Gonçalves, Vinicius Paiva Gonçalves, Pablo González-Moreno, Luís González, António Carmo Gouveia, A. Rod Griffin, André Große-Stoltenberg, Greg R. Guerin, Antoine Guisan, Stuart Hall, Jane L. Harbard, Gustavo Heringer, Richard Hill, Patricia M. Holmes, João P. Honrado, Cang Hui, Philip E. Hulme, Brett P. Hurley, Fiona Impson, Cally Jansen, Nolweth

        The book provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge about "wattles", a large clade of over 1000 species of trees and shrubs in the genus Acacia, most of which are native to Australia. It examines the biology, ecology, evolution, and biogeography of wattles in their native ranges, including the evolutionary forces that have driven past speciation and adaptation to diverse environments, the conservation status, uses and human perceptions of these species. It considers the different histories of the introductions and proliferation of wattles as alien species in different parts of the world since c. 1850 (the Anthropocene), situated within relevant political, socio-economic and scientific contexts, together with an analysis of how awareness of their impacts as invasive species has changed over time. Differences in the dynamics and trends associated with the introduction, naturalization and invasion of wattles in different parts of the world are reviewed. The book also synthesizes the global distribution of wattles using diverse data sources, alongside trends, patterns and projections of global uses of wattles. It discusses the genetics, biotic interactions, and ecological, economic and social impacts of invasive wattles. The first comprehensive global synthesis in book form of aspects of the biology, ecology, biogeography and management of one of the world's most important woody plant genera. Provides the foundation for the assessment of evidence-based information required to formulate sustainable management strategies for non-native plants that have both benefits and negative impacts. Sheds new light on many aspects of plant invasion science. This book is aimed at academics and students in the field of ecology, and at managers of natural and anthropic ecosystems, policy-makers and regulators, and the general public interested in biology and environmental science.

      • La nuova stagione (The New Season)

        by Silvia Ballestra

        Legend has it that a Sibyl – an ancient prophetess after whom were named the Sibillini Mountains in the very heart of Italy –, angry at the fairies who lingered to dance with the shepherds, threw some stones at them and those stones then became the village of Arquata del Tronto – stones that would be destined to roll again, sadly, during the earthquake that in 2016 dramatically damaged that region.This is where the sisters Nadia and Olga feel at home, in this land that moves, this countryside between the mountains and the sea. Their father spent his life cultivating the fields here, so their family is still treated with respect. But now everything has changed. Love and work took Olga and Nadia far away, their children are citizens of the world. People want strawberries and plums even in January. It’s a new season. And it’s time to leave the land.The two sisters begin a journey back in time and in memory. It’s also an actual journey that brings incredible meetings with potential buyers, parvenu sharecroppers and emissaries of multinational fruit companies: all male, all ambiguous, all apparently incapable of understanding how badly roots hurt when you need to cut them.Is everything really so immutable in the succession of generations and harvests? Can we still hope to leave the planet better off than when we came into it?Silvia Ballestra writes a novel that is current and ancient at the same time, like the places where she was born, to which she dedicates pages of scathing humor, but also full of the nostalgia and the amazement of someone who feels that a new season is coming. “After what had happened, a new affection bound us to those places. A desire to care, protect and know.” Read the first chapter in English

        Antropología del astronauta cotidiano

        by José Alejandro Polanco Contreras

        Desde la perspectiva de la antropología médica, este libro describe las condiciones de vida de las personas que llevan dispositivos médicos al cuerpo que pueden hacerlos parecer en cierto modo cyborgs, debido a esa simbiosis entre el ser humano y la tecnología. El lector encontrará historias de vida de personas de diversas condiciones sociales y económicas que tienen en común su condición de "astronauta de la vida diaria", término adoptado por el autor para nombrar a aquellas personas que, por circunstancias de su vida, fueron "lanzadas" en la complejidad de vivir con una ostomía. El libro describe la perspectiva médica del problema, así como las tecnologías y dispositivos que se han desarrollado para el cuidado de las ostomías y que han ayudado a esas personas a llevar una vida plenamente funcional.

        Reificación mediática

        by German Duarte

        En los años 60 del siglo pasado, las posiciones existencialistas y fenomenológicas plantearon un problema importante y controvertido, que produjo divisiones en el seno del mismísimo campo del pensamiento marxista. ¿Está el efecto de reificación sujeto inextricablemente al modo de producción capitalista? ¿Está por ello destinado a desaparecer con la liberación de la esfera social del dominio del capital, o bien tenemos que pensar que el carácter de reificación es más profundo que el mismo capitalismo y que está arraigado en la dimensión antropológica fundacional, anterior a la relación capitalista social ?.
