Book Description
Peligros y consecuencias de la creciente dependencia del crudo En su anterior libro, Guerras por los recursos, publicado tambi&én en Tendencias, el experto en temas de seguridad internacional Michael T. Klare daba la voz de alerta sobre el papel de los recursos en los conflictos mundiales tras el final de la guerra fr&ía. Ahora, en Sangre y petr&óleo, Klare centra su atenci&ón en una sola materia prima, el petr&óleo, al tiempo que lanza una advertencia a Estados Unidos, el m&ás poderoso pa&ís consumidor y el m&ás dependiente de ella. Nos recuerda c&ómo se est&án secando los pozos estadounidenses al tiempo que la demanda no deja de crecer. En 2010, EE.UU. tendr&á que importar el 60 por ciento del petr&óleo que va a consumir. Y como la mayor parte de este aprovisionamiento proviene de zonas cr&ónicamente inestables, y muchas veces violentamente antiamericanas --el Golfo P&érsico, el Mar Caspio, Latinoam&érica y &África-- esa dependencia amenaza con forzar crecientes implicaciones militares. Argumentos de venta: - Con el precio del barril por encima de los 70 d&ólares, el tema de la creciente escasez y en consecuencia mayor competitividad por el petr&óleo es cada d&ía de mayor actualidad. - El autor es una de las m&áximas autoridades internacionales en el tema de los recursos naturales.

Fragments for a History of the Human Body
Author: Michel Feher
Publisher: Zone Books
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
"The first approach can be called vertical since what is explored here is the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. The second approach covers the various junctures between the body's "outside" and "inside": it can therefore be called a "psychosomatic" approach, studying the manifestation - or production - of soul and the expression of emotions through the body's attitudes, and, on another level, the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain and death. Finally, the third approach ... brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how a certain organ or bodily substance can be used to justify or challenge the way human society functions ..." - foreword Part 3.

Pages : 148
Book Description
Zambia, one of the poorest countries in Africa, is ravaged by AIDS. The prognosis is horrifying: 20 percent of its nine million inhabitants will die of AIDS in the next ten years, and this is a conservative estimate. It is rumored that as many as one in three Zambians is HIV-positive. Statistics aside, what does AIDS really mean to the Zambians? Geert van Kesteren and Arthur van Amerongen traversed the country, often accompanied by their friend Clement Mufuzi, a sculptor and Zambia's best known AIDS-activist. The result is a blood-curdling reportage about love and death, hope and despair and the daily routine of life that, despite everything, continues.
