Esta publicación busca exponer las fortalezas, debilidades y oportunidades que afronta el espacio público abierto en las ciudades ecuatorianas de Quito, Cuenca e Ibarra. En estas tres urbes, ubicadas en la region montañosa del pais y de tres escalas distintas, mucha de la vida publica gira en torno a los espacios colectivos, cuyas condiciones de accesibilidad y calidad no siempre son equitativas para todos los habitantes. Si bien existen parques, plazas, bulevares u otras areas colectivas que brindan, adecuadamente, espacios para la reunion y recreacion de los usuarios, tambien hay muchas que se quedan limitadas en cuanto a proveer de espacios publicos con caracteristicas apropiadas para su uso, en especial en lo referente a temas como distribucion, inclusion, confort, y seguridad.Con el fin de conseguir y difundir resultados basados en evidencia respecto a la condicion actual de los espacios publicos en las tres ciudades parte de este estudio, se aplicaron diversas herramientas metodologicas que indagan, principalmente, en la distribucion, la calidad y el uso de parques, plazas, campos deportivos y demas tipologias de espacios colectivos.

O conjunto de textos aqui reunidos representa um passo na consolidaço de um olhar que se abriu sobre a imensa diversidade do universo das cidades pequenas. Simples nas suas configuraçes, essas cidades aparecem de uma desafiadora complexidade quando a metodologia de abordagem procura articular as escalas espaciais e temporais pertinentes a esses objetos de pesquisa. Por isso no deve faltar ousadia, perseverança e coragem aos pesquisadores brasileiros que os escolheram para contribuir ao entendimento das dinamicas do espaço geografico.

Este livro busca contribuir com as reflexões e os esforços, individuais e coletivos, que têm sido empreendidos para compreender o processo de banalização das plataformas digitais.

Tecnologias sociais e iniciativas de desenvolvimento sustentável em territórios prioritários do Rio Grande do Sul, traz reflexões sobre a vivência produtiva desenvolvida nas regiões do estado do Rio

Esta obra, tem como proposta perceber os espaços, referentes a uma regio do Brasil Central, onde se procura resgatar os aspectos naturais, valores e culturas, fixar conceitos inerentes ao seu entendimento e dar visualizaço aos grupos sociais e academicos que tem por lugar as paisagens do Cerrado. Aqui so apresentadas tentativas de assegurar a compreenso da estrutura ordenada/desordenada de uma regio, ja centenaria em termos de ocupaço antropica, numa sociedade humana que pouco valoriza esses laços de pertencimento, bem como repassar as geraçes futuras um pouco da historicidade e causos dos povos e do lugar, cujas paisagens foram e so palco de diferentes vivencias.

Esta obra resulta do esforço de vários autores em desvelar as atividades minero químicas e do agrohidronegócio no campo e na cidade, na tentativa de estabelecer elementos para um debate sobre os diversos conflitos que envolvem a relaço capital x trabalho no Brasil. Pois ainda que promova crescimento economico, esses setores esto entre os que mais geram efeitos socioambientais devido a exploraço e apropriaço dos recursos territoriais de que fazem uso, em razo da logica de reproduço do capital. Esta obra espera contribuir para o debate no ambito da Geografia e de outras areas.

Jules Verne has invented so many tales of adventure that he is quite at home when he comes to chronicle the wonderful feats of exploration which testify that truth is stranger than fiction. The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century is the second volume in his work Celebrated Travels and Travelers. It is profusely illustrated and has many maps. The period it deals with is less prolific in wonderful discoveries, but fuller information is accessible concerning those which were made. The voyages of Captain Cook and his predecessors, the exploits of the French navigators and the early African explorations, fill a large portion of the space. Separate chapters are also given to discoveries in Asia and North and South America.

This forms the third and concluding volume of Vernes Celebrated Travels an Travellers. One is struck with the great mass of interesting matter, geographical, ethnological, and other, which is here compacted together; bespeaking as it does no small amount of research, an still more aording fresh evidence of that instinctive perception of the popular which is, to a large extent, the secret of the authors success in his numerous works. A preliminary chapter is devoted to a general survey of explorations by Seetzen, Burckhardt, Webb, an others in the East in the early part of the century-a survey very interesting so far as it goes, but supercial. The value of the work, however, grows as it advances, the story of African travel evidently drawing out the authors enthusiasm more successfully; and the expeditions of Clapperton and the Landers are narrated with greater fulness, and with more sympathy. The whole of the second part of the book is devoted to Polar Explorers and Circumnavigators, and the stirring careers of Kotzebue and Krusenstern, of Bougainville and Freycinet, as well as of James Clark Ross and John Ross, Parry and Franklin, are concisely and graphically recorded.

Jules Verne, in this chief of his works, has set himself to tell the story of all the most stirring adventure of which we have any written recordto give the history, "from the time of Hanno and Herodotus down to that of Livingstone and Stanley," of those voyages of exploration and discovery which are among the most exciting episodes in the history of human enterprise. The wonderful journey of Marco Polo; the voyages of Columbus and Vasco da Gama; the conquests of Cortez and Pizarro; the old Arctic discoveries; the explorations of the Jesuit missionaries in North Americathese exploits form a worthy subject for the most ambitious work of such a writer; and when he brings to the treatment of such material all the dash and vivid picluresqueness of his own creations, it may be imagined that he makes a book worth reading.

This carefully created collection presents works of Henry Schoolcraft. This book has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.Contents:Memoirs & Explorations:Narrative of an Expedition Through the Upper Mississippi to Itasca LakePersonal Memoirs of a Residence of Thirty Years with The Indian Tribes On The American Frontiers Scenes and Adventures in the Semi-Alpine Region of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas Ethnographical & Historical Works:The American Indians The Myth of Hiawatha and Other Oral Legends The Indian Fairytale Book Henry Rowe Schoolcraft (1793 1864) was an American geographer, geologist, and ethnologist, noted for his early studies of Native American cultures, as well as for his 1832 expedition to the source of the Mississippi River. He is also noted for his major six-volume study of Native Americans published in the 1850s.

Narrative of an Expedition Through the Upper Mississippi River to Itasca Lake is Henry Schoolcrafts personal account of his mission in the Michigan Territory, where he served from 1828 to 1832 as US Indian agent. Schoolcraft shares the results of his mission in this book. He traveled to the upper reaches of the Mississippi to settle continuing troubles between the Ojibwe and Dakota nations. During the voyage, Schoolcraft took the opportunity to explore the region, making the first accurate map of the Lake District around western Lake Superior. He also discovered on his voyage the true headwaters of the Mississippi River in Lake Itasca.

"This history is intended to meet the want for brief, compact, and handy manuals of the beginnings of our country. In this volume, I have followed up to its legitimate ending the work done by the three great rival powers of modern times in civilizing our continent. I have tried to make it the worthy, if modest, exponent of a great theme. The story grows to absorbing interest, as the great achievement of the age."Contents: Three Rival CivilizationsThe SpaniardsAn Historic EraDe Sotos Discovery of the MississippiDeath and Burial of De SotoThe Indians of FloridaHow New Mexico Came to Be Explored"the Marvellous Country"Folk Lore of the PueblosLast Days of Charles V.

Mindanao. Su Historia y Geografía es una crónica sobre la segunda isla más grande de Filipinas. Este libro de José Nieto Aguilar incluye útiles reflexiones sobre las tensiones políticas entre las fuerzas coloniales españolas y los grupos etnicos y religiosos de la region durante el siglo XIX.

Milton Santos concebeu este livro em colaboraço com Denise Elias visando debater algumas realidades do presente e os conceitos delas resultantes. Para isso, procura situar a geografia no contexto do mundo atual, buscando, ademais, rediscutir categorias tradicionais e sugerir algumas linhas de reflexo metodologica, tomando como ponto de partida as metamorfoses do espaço habitado. Para o autor, no e suficiente falar do espaço, e preciso tambem definir categorias de analise a luz da historia concreta, diferenciando-o, assim, da paisagem e da configuraço territorial, ainda que estas compareçam como categorias fundamentais para seu entendimento. Nessa discusso, tem papel fundamental o reconhecimento da imbricaço crescente entre o natural e o artificial, tema que permite retomar a discusso sobre a dicotomia entre geografia fisica e geografia humana.

Esta obra caracteriza el universo de las bodegas de vinos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León acogidas a las Denominaciones de Origen Protegidas (DOP) mediante el Análisis Estadístico Multivariante de los datos. Esta novedosa aproximacion al tema, a partir de una ingente cantidad de informacion obtenida y procesada desde el año 2009, constituye la aportacion metodologica mas significativa de este estudio. El perfil multifactorial de las bodegas obtenido de este modo, ademas, es comparado con la tipologia de los Mundos de Produccion definida por Salais y Storper en 1992. Desde esta perspectiva, se identifican tres cluster o conglomerados de bodegas con caracteristicas semejantes y diferenciadoras. Por un lado, las bodegas de mayor tamaño y antiguedad, que elaboran una amplia gama de vinos y pertenecerian al mundo de produccion industrial. Por otro, las bodegas pequeñas, jovenes y especializadas en la elaboracion de tintos en series cortas, integrantes del mundo de produccion interpersonal. Y finalmente, las bodegas elaboradoras de vinos blancos, que conformarian el mundo de produccion de nichos de mercado. Aunque la correspondencia con la tipologia original no es completa, el marco analitico y la metodologia estadistica multivariante se muestran capaces de identificar las principales combinaciones de recursos y productos desarrolladas en sectores industriales como el de la elaboracion de vinos, muy ligados al territorio y a factores productivos como los recursos naturales, cuya movilidad espacial es nula o muy limitada. Todo ello configura esta propuesta teorico-metodologica, que puede ser aplicada a otras ramas de la industria agroalimentaria, y que permite interpretar la diversidad del sistema vitivinicola regional de calidad de Castilla y Leon.
