Book Description
Comprar edición impresa (la versión actualizada e ilustrada): https://laemboscadura.com/tienda/60-semanas-en-el-tropico/ Una tentativa de huir hacia adelante, una conciencia que bascula de la desolación al júbilo. Un proyecto de trabajo sobre el origen de la pobreza y riqueza en el Sureste asiático… Sesenta semanas en el trópico narra las peripecias durante un año sabático en Tailandia con excursiones a Vietnam, Birmania y Singapur, sobre el quicio preciso que separa la segunda de la tercera edad del autor. En el atardecer de la vida, iluminado por una luz distinta, el corazón aventurero de Escohotado apura hasta los posos de su atrevimiento, y el paisaje de gentes y lugares exóticos acompaña a una pesquisa interior que tocará fondo en otro trópico -el amazónico-, con un brote de introspección y telepatía provocado por brebajes primitivos. Devuelto al origen, la humilde odisea de este libro acaba ofreciendo una respuesta a la pregunta del comienzo -¿qué hace ricos a individuos y grupos?-, y cierra un ciclo del ánimo por precipicios. Catálogo de costumbres ignoradas u olvidadas, conjuro para decisiones que desgarran, boceto de antropología económica, la obra medita sobre dos modos genéricos de entender la vida, que se condensan como «planeta interior” y «planeta exterior». Aislados uno de otro hasta la actual globalización, ahora solo pueden compenetrarse o combatirse. Una sola Tierra para dos tipos de moradores, cada vez menos indiferentes entre sí: un reto inaplazable. Antonio Escohotado aprovecha la reedición de este título -casi 20 años después de su publicación- para retocar la narración de varios pasajes, así como para ilustrar con algunas imágenes su enriquecedora aventura en la tierra de los Thai.

Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1789230802
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The book is divided into two sections and represents the current trend of research in aquatic bioresource. In the section "Biology, Ecology and Physiological Chemistry", high-impact articles are contributed on reproduction, population genetics, evolution, biodiversity, biology and ecology of different aquatic faunas. Physiological chemistry of lipid, bioactive pharmaceuticals and chemical ecological aspects of aquatic organisms were discussed. In the section entitled "Conservation and Sustainable Management", authors highlighted conservation- and management-related issues of various bioresources in different regions of the earth. The book mentions the biological, ecological, physiological and genetic significance of aquatic organisms with resource potential. The authors stressed on rational utilisation and management of bioresource ensuring minimal damage of the aquatic ecosystem. This book would provide a direction towards sustainable ecological management of bioresource.

Picturing Tropical Nature
Author: Nancy Stepan
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801438813
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
"Picturing Tropical Nature reflects on the work of several nineteenth- and twentieth-century scientists and artists, including Alexander von Humboldt, Alfred Russel Wallace, Louis Agassiz, Sir Patrick Manson, and Margaret Mee. Their careers illuminate several aspects of tropicalization: science and art in the making of tropical pictures; the commercial and cultural boom in things tropical in the modern period; photographic attempts to represent tropical hybrid races; antitropicalism and its role in an emerging environmentalist sensibility; and visual depictions of disease in the new tropical medicine."--Jacket.
