A BOOK OF DISCOVERY"The History of the Worlds Exploration, From the Earliest Times to the Finding of the South Pole"A LITTLE OLD WORLDNo story is complete unless it begins at the very beginning. But where is the beginning? Where is the dawn of geographya"the knowledge of our earth? What was it like before the first explorers made their way into distant lands? Every day that passes we are gaining fresh knowledge of the dim and silent past.Every day men are patiently digging in the old heaps that were once the sites of busy cities, and, as a result of their unwearying toil, they are revealing to us the life-stories of those who dwelt therein; they are disclosing secrets writ on weather-worn stones and tablets, bricks and cylinders, never before even guessed at.Thus we read the wondrous story of ancient days, and breathlessly wonder what marvellous discovery will thrill us next.For the earliest account of the old world -a world made up apparently of a little land and a little water -we turn to an old papyrus, the oldest in existence, which tells us in familiar words, unsurpassed for their exquisite poetry and wondrous simplicity, of that great dateless time so full of mystery and awe."In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.... And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God ... divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.... And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.... And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas."Thus beautifully did the children of men express their earliest idea of the worlds distribution of land and water.

O livro almeja ser representativo nos principais debates contemporaneos, oferecendo uma viso panoramica sobre o campo na atualidade e permitindo-se aprofundar em algumas discusses selecionadas. O ambiente no pode ser reduzido ao "meio ambiente", a natureza no humana. Ele no e meramente algo que "nos envolve", um envoltorio: o ambiente somos tambem nos, seres humanos, historica e culturalmente situados. Quanto aos territorios, eles se estabelecem em intima conexo com os ambientes em suas dimenses paisagistica e material, quer sejam os processos geoecologicos, quer sejam as formas e as dinamicas socialmente produzidas. Analisar os territorios significa examinar como, a cada momento, os ambientes, seus recursos e significados so disputados e viram objeto de conflitos.O publico-alvo principal so os estudantes dos ultimos anos da graduaço, alem daqueles em nivel de pos-graduaço, de todas as areas que lidam com problemas e conflitos ambientais. Afora os pesquisadores iniciantes e os jovens universitarios em geral, porem, podemos presumir que profissionais experientes tambem podero tirar proveito do material de diversos capitulos. E razoavel, por fim, nutrir a expectativa de que muito do que este livro contem possa (retro)alimentar o ativismo ambiental critico e a pratica de combater as iniquidades e as distorçes que se acumulam em nossas sociedades, principalmente as muitas situaçes de flagrante injustiça ambiental.

Las circunstancias actuales de la planificación territorial y urbanística en España hacen necesario el planteamiento de nuevos modelos de desarrollo que den solución a los retos y realidades territoriales mas complejos.

El trabajo se cierra con la definicion de la planificacion sectorial y las tendencias actuales de aplicacion, a partir de las cuales se presentan unas primeras propuestas de mejora de la aplicacion de la planificacion sectorial, que permitan la mejora en la ordenacion del territorio.

Bajo la inmensidad de Ansenuza, entre espejos de agua salada y extensas playas blancas, se ocultan historias que pocos han visto. ¿Qué secretos guardan las migraciones de las aves? ¿Cómo un ecosistema aparentemente inhospito sostiene una asombrosa red de vida? A traves de una mirada curiosa y reflexiva, Ansenuza oculta invita a descubrir lo invisible: el papel de las diatomeas en el agua, la fertilidad que dejan los flamencos con su paso y la resistencia de las plantas en los salitrales. Cada pagina es un viaje entre la ciencia y la contemplacion, donde la naturaleza se convierte en narradora de su propia historia. Con una prosa envolvente y detallista, este libro nos anima a observar con nuevos ojos, a comprender la fragilidad de los ecosistemas y a sumergirnos en la belleza oculta de un paisaje que aun tiene mucho por contar. A traves de los ojos de un bioexplorador, cada rincon de Ansenuza revela sus secretos, mostrando la asombrosa interconexion de la vida en un entorno donde lo invisible es tan esencial como lo que podemos ver.

Este trabajo se ocupa de los orígenes, evolución y situación actual de la ordenación del territorio en la Comunidad Valenciana. Se trata de un campo habitualmente no demasiado estudiado entre los juristas pues, en materia de ordenacion de usos del suelo, estos suelen fijar mas su atencion en los aspectos relacionados con la ordenacion, gestion y disciplina urbanistica. El objeto de este trabajo es doble. Por una parte, se pretende abordar el analisis de los distintos aspectos juridicos de la ordenacion del territorio en la Comunidad Valenciana. Por otra parte, se trata tambien de identificar alguna de las causas por las que la ordenacion del territorio no termina de arraigar en la Comunidad Valenciana, esto es, las causas del distanciamiento entre legislacion y realidad.

From the earliest empires of the Sumerians and the Pharaohs to the modern empires of the USSR and the European Union, this is a story that reveals how empires are created and organized, how later empires resolve the problems of governance faced by earlier empires, and how the political and cultural legacies of ancient empires are still felt today.

A história da humanidade é marcada por grandes movimentos migratórios. A partir da década de 1980, muitos brasileiros emigraram para Portugal, o que levou os brasileiros a se tornarem um dos principais grupos de estrangeiros em terras lusitanas. Mas a crise em 2008 fez com que parte desses emigrantes retornasse ao Brasil. Romerito da Silva responde em sua obra, por meio de uma perspectiva geografica, por que alguns escolheram retornar e outros escolheram ficar em Portugal. Entrevistando 125 pessoas, ele se aprofunda na compreenso dessa dinamica migratoria, acreditando que os resultados possam contribuir para ampliar discusses teoricas e fundamentar o desenvolvimento de politicas publicas especificas.
