Fronteras de la Física en el Siglo XXI
Octavio Miramontes y Karen Volke
Español, ISBN: 978-1-938128-03-5
La Física, entre las ciencias, se ha ganado una reputación sin par a lo
largo de más de quinientos años. En el siglo XX, protagonizó varias
revoluciones científicas que vieron nacer teorías sólidas sobre los
fundamentos con que opera la Naturaleza: la mecánica cuántica, la
relatividad general, la teoría atómica y la termodinámica fuera del
equilibrio, entre otras. Las aplicaciones prácticas están a la vista:
la microelectrónica, el láser, las telecomunicaciones, la WWW, los
viajes supersónicos, las naves y satélites espaciales y muchas, muchas
otras. Los desafíos para la Física en el siglo XXI siguen siendo
fascinantes y este libro es un panorama global que recorre algunas de
las áreas destinadas a ser, sin duda, protagonistas principales
de las nuevas revoluciones científicas por venir. |

Sustainable Woodfuel Production in Latin America: The role of Government and Society
Eliane Ceccon & Rogerio C. Miranda
English, ISBN: 978-1-938128-02-8
Woodfuel is an important energy source for
many developing countries. At the same time, unsustainable woodfuel
production can be a cause of forest degradation and eventually
deforestation when demanded by unregulated markets. Most of sustainable
forest management approaches for woodfuel production are theoretical,
with only a few successful cases in Latin America. One of these
are the Forest Replacement Associations (FRA), which are a nonprofit
civil association that promote woodfuel production in small and medium
farms and has been extensively tested during the past 20 years. The
main objectives of this book is to review some experiences of
sustainable woodfuel production emphasizing the FRA in Brazil and
Nicaragua, including field visits and semi-structured stakeholder
interviews, to extract the lessons learned and the potential challenges
in their future implementation as sustainable forestry strategies
elsewhere.
