TÃtulo : Anthrozoology : Embracing Co-Existence in the Anthropocene Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Tobias, Michael Charles, ; Morrison, Jane Gray, Mención de edición: 1 ed. Editorial: [s.l.] : Springer Fecha de publicación: 2017 Número de páginas: XXII, 338 p. 135 ilustraciones, 131 ilustraciones en color. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-45964-6 Nota general: Libro disponible en la plataforma SpringerLink. Descarga y lectura en formatos PDF, HTML y ePub. Descarga completa o por capítulos. Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Ambiente Ciencias de la vida BiologÃa de la Conservación EcologÃa Semiótica FilosofÃa de la naturaleza Ciencias ambientales Clasificación: 333.7 Recursos naturales y energía Resumen: Este trabajo innovador de pensamiento teórico y experiencial realizado por dos destacados filósofos ecológicos y cientÃficos de la liberación animal se aventura en una nueva frontera de los estudios antrozoológicos éticos aplicados. A través de un texto sencillo y elegante, los lectores aprenderán que las interconexiones humanas con otras especies y ecosistemas están gravemente amenazadas precisamente porque carecemos - por nuestra confianza evolutiva en nosotros mismos - de la coherencia que está ampliamente demostrada en todas partes a nuestro alrededor. Lo que nuestra especie ha considerado superior es, según Tobias y Morrison, el resultado acumulativo de un argumento trágicamente tenue predicado al borde de la autodestrucción de nuestra especie, que da lugar a una proposición singular: o reconocemos el milagro de otra inteligencia sensible, sofisticación y genio, o corre el riesgo de consagrar el epitafio de vida más corta de cualquier vertebrado conocido en los 4.100 millones de años de vida de la Tierra. Tobias y Morrison se basan en 45 años de investigación en campos que van desde la antropologÃa ecológica, la protección animal y la ética comparada hasta la literatura y la espiritualidad, y más. Despliegan investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de animales y plantas, contextos de patrimonio biocultural de todos los continentes y aportan una gama profundamente metafÃsica de perspectivas que distinguen a este libro de cualquier otro. El libro se aparta de la mayorÃa de los trabajos en campos como los derechos de los animales, la estética ecológica, la etologÃa comparada o el trabajo conductista tradicional de animales y plantas y, sin embargo, se dirige a lectores interesados ​​en esos campos. Este texto, un libro profundamente provocativo sobre premisas e hipótesis filosóficas de dos de los filósofos ecológicos más influyentes del mundo, probablemente suscitará inquietud y debate durante muchas décadas por venir. Nota de contenido: Preface -- The Making of the Anthropocene -- Our Conquest of Co-Evolution? -- The Metaphysics of Extinction -- The Conative Spectrum of Other Species -- Arcadian Connections -- The "Other Minds" Challenge.-A Prolegomena of Human Conscience -- Experiential, Empirical and Disturbing Anthrozoologies -- Epiphanies of the Biosemiosphere -- Evolutionary Biographies and the Enigma of the "Other" -- A North American Family – The Ecologies of Translation -- Coda. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This groundbreaking work of both theoretical and experiential thought by two leading ecological philosophers and animal liberation scientists ventures into a new frontier of applied ethical anthrozoological studies. Through lean and elegant text, readers will learn that human interconnections with other species and ecosystems are severely endangered precisely because we lack - by our evolutionary self-confidence - the very coherence that is everywhere around us abundantly demonstrated. What our species has deemed to be superior is, according to Tobias and Morrison, the cumulative result of a tragically tenuous argument predicated on the brink of our species' self-destruction, giving rise to a most unique proposition: We either recognize the miracle of other sentient intelligence, sophistication, and genius, or risk enshrining the shortest lived epitaph of any known vertebrate in earth's 4.1 billion years of life. Tobias and Morrison draw on 45 years of research in fields ranging from ecological anthropology, animal protection and comparative ethics to literature and spirituality - and beyond. They deploy research in animal and plant behavior, biocultural heritage contexts from every continent and they bring to bear a deeply metaphysical array of perspectives that set this book apart from any other. The book departs from most work in such fields as animal rights, ecological aesthetics, comparative ethology or traditional animal and plant behaviorist work, and yet it speaks to readers with an interest in those fields. A deeply provocative book of philosophical premises and hypotheses from two of the world's most influential ecological philosophers, this text is likely to stir uneasiness and debate for many decades to come.

TÃtulo : Bhutan: Conservation and Environmental Protection in the Himalayas Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Tshewang, Ugyen, ; Tobias, Michael Charles, ; Morrison, Jane Gray, Mención de edición: 1 ed.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BiologÃa de la Conservación EcologÃa Comunidades bióticas BiologÃa de poblaciones Religión y ciencia Bien cultural Preservación histórica Bienestar de los animales EconomÃa del bienestar EcologÃa comunitaria y poblacional Religión y Ciencias Conservación y Preservación Ética Animal EconomÃa Social Clasificación: 333.9516 Resumen: Ubicado en el corazón del Himalaya oriental, Bután practica la filosofÃa de la Felicidad Nacional Bruta ("FNB") que abraza la conservación del medio ambiente como uno de los principales pilares de sus objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. Las estrategias de conservación y el éxito de Bután están impulsados ​​en gran medida por la fuerte voluntad polÃtica y el liderazgo visionario de Su Majestad el Rey de Bután. Las perspectivas budistas de la nación con respecto a un respeto profundo y duradero por la naturaleza; y la aplicación estratégica de un amplio y estricto conjunto de regulaciones y controles internos han ayudado a garantizar estándares de oro ecológicos en Bután. Además, el paÃs es un miembro activo de la comunidad conservacionista internacional al cumplir con la implementación de varios Acuerdos Ambientales Multilaterales. Si bien en el siglo XXI surgió como uno de los 36 "puntos crÃticos" terrestres mundiales en la clasificación de conservación de la diversidad biológica, el compromiso absoluto de Bután con más del 51% de su territorio gestionado bajo el estatus explÃcito de una red de áreas protegidas, y más de 70 % de la tierra cubierta por bosques, representa la dedicación ejemplar de Bután para proteger el planeta a pesar de su pequeñez en tamaño y economÃa, y la fragilidad biológica ejemplificada por su situación de punto crÃtico. Frente a las graves amenazas inminentes del calentamiento global, Bután ejemplifica la verdad de que "un paÃs pequeño con un gran compromiso de conservación" puede hacer una enorme contribución a la comunidad global. A nivel regional, Bután tiene la intención de proteger las Torres de Agua de Asia (esa extensión glacial del Himalaya), que es un baluarte de recursos crÃtico para aproximadamente una quinta parte de la población mundial aguas abajo en el sur de Asia. Estas protecciones invariablemente ayudan a mitigar el cambio climático al actuar como un sumidero de carbono a nivel nacional a través de sus polÃticas de carbono neutral. En resumen, Bután ha representado durante mucho tiempo uno de los principales guardianes nacionales de la conservación de la biodiversidad, la buena gobernanza ecológica y la sostenibilidad social en un perÃodo en el que el mundo ha entrado en el Antropoceno, una época de extinciones masivas. Prevemos que esta publicación sea ecológica y éticamente provocativa y reveladora para las comunidades cientÃficas y los gobiernos interesados. A través de una extensa revisión de la literatura cientÃfica y antropológica, asà como de los propios datos del equipo de investigación, los autores han establecido recomendaciones oportunas para polÃticas, estrategias y acciones de conservación. Este libro proporciona evaluaciones técnicas y profundamente consideradas del estado del medio ambiente de Bután, sus múltiples factores estresantes y presiones inducidos por el hombre; asà como técnicas prácticas y extremadamente sólidas que abordarÃan las estrategias de conservación en el Himalaya y, por implicación, en todo el mundo.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Located in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan practices the philosophy of Gross National Happiness ("GNH") that embraces environmental conservation as one of the main building blocks for its sustainable development goals. Bhutan's conservation strategies and success are largely driven by the strong political will and visionary leadership of His Majesty the King of Bhutan The nation's Buddhist perspectives regarding a deep and abiding respect for nature; and the strategic enforcement of a wide-ranging stringent set of internal regulations and controls have helped ensure ecological gold standards in Bhutan. Moreover, the country is an active member of the international conservation community by fulfilling its implementation of various Multilateral Environment Agreements. While it emerged into the 21st century as one of the 36 global terrestrial "hotspots" in biological diversity conservation ranks, Bhutan's sheer commitment with more than 51% of its territory being managed under the explicit status of a protected area network, and more than 70% of the land under forest cover, represents Bhutan's exemplary dedication to protect the planet despite its smallness in size and economy, and the biological fragility exemplified by its hotspot situation. In the face of imminent severe threats of global warming, Bhutan nonetheless exemplifies the truth that "a small country with a big conservation commitment" can make an enormous contribution to the global community. At the regional level, Bhutan is intent upon protecting the Water Towers of Asia (that glacial expanse of the Himalayas) which is a critical resource bulwark for about one-fifth of the global population downstream in South Asia. Such protections invariably help mitigate climate change by acting as a nation-wide carbon sink through its carbon neutral policies. In short, Bhutan has long represented one of the world's foremost national guardians of biodiversity conservation, ecological good governance, and societal sustainability at a period when the world has entered the Anthropocene – an epoch of mass extinctions. We envision this publication to be ecologically and ethically provocative and revealing for the concerned scientific communities, and governments. Through an extensive review of the scientific and anthropological literature, as well as the research team's own data, the Author's have set forth timely recommendations for conservation policies, strategies and actions. This book provides technical and deeply considered assessments of the state of Bhutan's environment, its multiple, human-induced stressors and pressures; as well as extremely sound, practical techniques that would address conservation strategies in the Himalayas and, by implication, worldwide.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BiologÃa de la Conservación EcologÃa Ciencias de la vida Ambiente Ley del Medio Ambiente Bienestar de los animales FilosofÃa de la naturaleza Ciencias ambientales Ética Animal Clasificación: 3.339.516 Resumen: Este trabajo compacto y elegante proporciona una visión general fácilmente accesible y muy legible de las oportunidades y desafÃos únicos de Bután; toda su destacada legislación ambiental, estatutos regulatorios, costumbres y prácticas ecológicas, tanto en términos históricos como contemporáneos. Al mismo tiempo, Bionomics in the Dragon Kingdom sitúa el contexto ecológico, incluida una sección sobre los derechos de los animales en Bután, dentro del entorno espiritual y ético budista de la nación. La contextualización histórica acentúa la rica descripción del libro de cada parque nacional y reserva cientÃfica, además de proporcionar información actualizada sobre los obstáculos relacionados con el cambio climático para el paÃs. Combinando datos interdisciplinarios de ciencias, ingenierÃa y humanidades en un retrato convincente y actualizado del paÃs, los autores han presentado este dramático compendio en el contexto de un marco temporal ecológico global urgente. Por lo tanto, queda claro que lo que está en juego para Bután, al igual que sus vecinos del Himalaya y los paÃses subcontinentales indios (China, India, Bangladesh y Myanmar), son inmensos a medida que se desarrolla la época del Antropoceno y afectan a todos los seres vivos en todo el planeta. Debido a que las dos fuentes de ingresos más gratificantes de Bután derivan de la venta de energÃa hidroeléctrica y del turismo, las complejidades de las presiones modernas que enfrenta una nación que se enorgullece de mantener costumbres tradicionales en lo que ha sido una nación excepcionalmente aislada son crÃticas. Nota de contenido: Foreword (By an internationally well-known individual) -- Acronyms and Glossary of Bhutanese Terminology -- Introduction -- 1. Environment Matters: Himalayan Happiness -- 2. National Parks & Protected Areas -- 3. Bhutanese Bio-Culturalism & Sustainability -- 4. The Anthropocene in Bhutan -- 5. Water Towers and Mountains in the Dragon Kingdom -- 6. Pragmatic Conscience: Ecological Governance in the Last Shangri-la -- Coda -- Index. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This compact and elegant work provides a readily accessible and highly readable overview of Bhutan's unique opportunities and challenges; all her prominent environmental legislation, regulatory statutes, ecological customs and practices, both in historic and contemporary terms. At the same time, Bionomics in the Dragon Kingdom places the ecological context, including a section on animal rights in Bhutan, within the nation's Buddhist spiritual and ethical setting. Historic contextualization accents the book's rich accounting of every national park and scientific reserve, as well as providing up-to-the-minute climate-change related hurdles for the country. Merging interdisciplinary sciences, engineering and humanities data in a compelling up-to-date portrait of the country, the authors have presented this dramatic compendium against the backdrop of an urgent, global ecological time-frame. It thus becomes clear that the articulated stakes for Bhutan, likeher neighboring Himalayan and Indian sub-continental countries (China, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar), are immense as the Anthropocene epoch unfolds, affecting every living being across the planet. Because Bhutan's two most rewarding revenue streams derive from the sale of hydroelectric power and from tourism, the complexities of modern pressures facing a nation that prides herself on maintaining traditional customs in what has been a uniquely isolated nation are critical.

La paradoja ecológica sugiere que la lucha biológica humana (y, desde una perspectiva insular, exitosa) por existir se ha producido al precio de aislar al H. sapiens de los servicios ecosistémicos que sustentan la vida, y a gran parte de la biodiversidad con la que nos encontramos. estamos en situación de crisis. Es una paradoja que se remonta a miles de años atrás y que implica milenios de maquinaciones humanas que han sido completamente ruinosas para las bases biológicas. Esas métricas se examinan desde numerosos enfoques multidisciplinarios en este trabajo completamente original, que ayuda a los lectores, particularmente a los estudiantes de historia natural, que aspiran a comprender las dimensiones de gran alcance del Antropoceno, ya que afecta todas las facetas de la experiencia humana, pasada, presente y futura. y el resto de la sensibilidad planetaria.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This work is a large, powerfully illustrated interdisciplinary natural sciences volume, the first of its kind to examine the critically important nature of ecological paradox, through an abundance of lenses: the biological sciences, taxonomy, archaeology, geopolitical history, comparative ethics, literature, philosophy, the history of science, human geography, population ecology, epistemology, anthropology, demographics, and futurism. The ecological paradox suggests that the human biologicalЀ“and from an insular perspective, successfulЀ“struggle to exist has come at the price of isolating H. sapiens from life-sustaining ecosystem services, and far too much of the biodiversity with which we find ourselves at crisis-level odds. It is a paradox dating back thousands of years, implicating millennia of human machinations that have been utterly ruinous to biological baselines. Those metrics are examined from numerous multidisciplinary approaches in this thoroughly original work, which aidsreaders, particularly natural history students, who aspire to grasp the far-reaching dimensions of the Anthropocene, as it affects every facet of human experience, past, present and future, and the rest of planetary sentience. With a Prologue by G. Wayne Clough, former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and President Emeritus of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Impregnado de una rica multitud de ciencias y humanidades, el libro consagra una narrativa elegante que es muy empática, personal, cientÃficamente amplia y original. Se centra en el geoposicionamiento del Yo humano y sus especies correspondientes. Los puntos de vista generales del libro y su conmovedora historia examinan y desafÃan poderosamente conceptos asociados históricamente con afirmaciones de superioridad humana sobre todas las demás formas de vida. En definitiva, Las especies hipotéticas: variables de la evolución humana es un tratado profundamente considerado sobre el estado ecológico y psicológico de la humanidad y sus opciones –tanto dentro como fuera de las rúbricas de la investigación evolutiva– para sobrevivir. Este importante trabajo está bellamente presentado con casi 200 ilustraciones diversas y se presenta con un prólogo de la famosa paleobióloga, la Dra. Melanie DeVore. Nota de contenido: Introdution -- Between the Theoretical and the Hypothetical -- Taxonomic Uncertainties -- A Biosphere in Flux -- As Far as the Microscope Reveals -- Human Contradictions -- Varieties of Social Contracts -- Biological Consensus Mechanisms: The Future of Co-Existence. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book is a provocative and invigorating real-time exploration of the future of human evolution by two of the world's leading interdisciplinary ecologists – Michael Charles Tobias and Jane Gray Morrison. Steeped in a rich multitude of the sciences and humanities, the book enshrines an elegant narrative that is highly empathetic, personal, scientifically wide-ranging and original. It focuses on the geo-positioning of the human Self and its corresponding species. The book's overarching viewpoints and poignant through-story examine and powerfully challenge concepts associated historically with assertions of human superiority over all other life forms. Ultimately, The Hypothetical Species: Variables of Human Evolution is a deeply considered treatise on the ecological and psychological state of humanity and her options – both within, and outside the rubrics of evolutionary research – for survival. This important work is beautifully presented with nearly 200 diverse illustrations, and is introduced with a foreword by famed paleobiologist, Dr. Melanie DeVore.
