Conquering Nature
Author: Sergio Diaz-Briquets
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822972093
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Conquering Nature provides the only book-length analysis of the environmental situation in Cuba after four decades of socialist rule, based on extensive examination of secondary sources, informed by the study of development and environmental trends in former socialist countries as well as in the developing world. It approaches the issue comprehensively and from interdisciplinary, comparative, and historical perspectives. Based on the Cuban example, Diaz-Briquets and Perez-L—pez challenge the concept that environmental disruption was not supposed to occur under socialism since it was alleged that guided by scientific policies, socialism could only beget environmentally benign economic development. In reality, the socialist environmental record proved to be far different from the utopian view. Between the early 1960s and the late 1980s the environmental situation worsened despite Cuba's achieving one of the lowest population growth rates in the world and having eliminated extreme living standard differentials in rural areas, two of the primary reasons often blamed for environmental deterioration in developing countries. The government's approach was to "conquer nature" and under its central planning approach, it did not take local circumstances into consideration. This disregard for the environmental consequences of development projects continues to this day despite official allegations to the contrary—as the country pursues an economic survival strategy based on the crash development of the tourist sector and exploitation of natural resources. An underlying conclusion of the book is that the environmental legacy of socialism will present serious challenges to future Cuban generations. Conquering Nature provides, for the first time, a relevant analysis of socialist environmental policies of a developing country. It will be of interest to students and scholars of Cuba and those interested in environmental issues in developing countries.

El medio ambiente en el nuevo universo audiovisual
Author: León Anguiano, Bienvenido (coord.)
Publisher: Editorial UOC
ISBN: 849116300X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
El nuevo ecosistema audiovisual, en el que las televisiones tratan de convivir con Internet, ofrece grandes posibilidades para informar, sensibilizar y educar al público sobre los retos ambientales a los que se enfrenta nuestra sociedad. Sin embargo, la investigación pone de manifiesto que los medios no han estado a la altura del envite, debido a la complejidad de las cuestiones ambientales, la siempre difícil relación de la ciencia con los medios de comunicación y la creciente tendencia hacia el infoentretenimiento. El medio ambiente en el nuevo universo audiovisual es el resultado tangible de un rico debate generado en la octava edición del foro «Transformar la televisión», reunido en La Casa Encendida, centro social y cultural de Fundación Montemadrid. En las páginas de este volumen, una decena de expertos en la materia analizan, con rigor y valentía, la representación audiovisual del medio ambiente en este nuevo paradigma comunicativo, en el que los formatos televisivos tradicionales han perdido peso y el vídeo en línea ha alcanzado un notable desarrollo, impulsado por las redes sociales.
