Miradas convergentes frente cuerpos disidentes
"En este libro colectivo de estudis sobre el cuerpo, jóvenes autores de diversas disciplinas sociales han tomado el fructífero camino de la disidencia como estrategia para el análisis de procesos contemporáneos que evidencian la importancia de la materialización de los sujetos como producto de su experiencia. De manera provocativa, la óptica disidente conduce a pensar en los sujetos encarnados más allá de la normalidad o de los esquemas corporales hegemónicos. ¿Quiénes son los sujetos obesos? ¿Cómo pensamos e interpretamos a las chicas anoréxicas? ¿Cómo explicamos la exclusión de estos sujetos? ¿Desde dónde entendemos a los enfermos y sus padecimientos? ¿Cómo explicar la...
Aristas corporales en los productos culturales
El libro se compone de una serie de ensayos que analizan las diversas representaciones que hay del cuerpo en el campo de los productos culturales: arte, cine y literatura. Cada uno de los textos pone en el centro del análisis la configuración del actuar y quehacer corporal; ya sea desde el análisis del discurso, de las imágenes o de las expresiones y movimientos corpóreos en el performance.
Differential Neural Networks for Robust Nonlinear Control
This book deals with continuous time dynamic neural networks theory applied to the solution of basic problems in robust control theory, including identification, state space estimation (based on neuro-observers) and trajectory tracking. The plants to be identified and controlled are assumed to be a priori unknown but belonging to a given class containing internal unmodelled dynamics and external perturbations as well. The error stability analysis and the corresponding error bounds for different problems are presented. The effectiveness of the suggested approach is illustrated by its application to various controlled physical systems (robotic, chaotic, chemical, etc.).
Aquaculture Production Systems
Aquaculture is an increasingly diverse industry with an ever-growing number of species cultured and production systems available to professionals. A basic understanding of production systems is vital to the successful practice of aquaculture. Published with the World Aquaculture Society, Aquaculture Production Systems captures the huge diversity of production systems used in the production of shellfish and finfish in one concise volume that allows the reader to better understand how aquaculture depends upon and interacts with its environment. The systems examined range from low input methods to super-intensive systems. Divided into five sections that each focus on a distinct family of systems, Aquaculture Production Systems serves as an excellent text to those just being introduced to aquaculture as well as being a valuable reference to well-established professionals seeking information on production methods.
Environmental Governance in Latin America
This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple purposes of nature – livelihood for communities, revenues for states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for conservationists – have turned environmental governance in Latin America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from various fields address the challenges, limitations, and possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development. In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual processes at multiple scales.

Totem
A land of history, magic and legend.... Sarah Cooley, 14, and her friends want to return to Bear Valley in Olympic National Park before Buckhorn begins mining erbium, a substance rumored to detoxify coal. Carl Larsen, saddled with his difficult niece Laurie, is investigating mysterious elk kills on nearby National Forest lands. Victoria Oldsea, Buckhorn's project manager, hopes to take her son Jared camping as a break from work before the mining begins. A terrible windstorm upends everything. Strange, inexplicable animals appear. Ancient visions of an ancient people, perhaps dreams, possibly memory, are reported. Are the Olympics more mysterious than anyone knows? Does the answer lie in Bear Valley? Totem is the third and concluding tale in the Strong Heart series, starting in Strong Heart, continuing in Adrift, and now following Sarah Cooley and her friends to an astounding conclusion as they face conflict, danger, mythical legend, and ancient truth.
