Aboriginal Australia: Culture and Society/ Bush Food (Ingles) (Ver) Categoría: Revista Autor: Isaacs, Jennifer Resumen: Bush foods provide a balanced and nutritious diet. Since the arrival of Europeans in Australia the health of Aboriginal people has suffered drastically, in part because of changes in eating habits. A diet high in flour, sugar and tea has contributed to malnutrition, growth retardation, diabetes and reduced resistance to infectious disease. Other factors, such as increasingly sedentary lifestyles and poor hygene conditions, have also undermined Aboriginal health. |

Panorama andino sobre cambio climático (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Cuesta, Francisco % Becerra, María Teresa (Coordinadores) Resumen: El concepto de montañas es para los países de la Comunidad Andina un referente, si tenemos en cuenta la dinámica vertical de nuestro territorio. Sin embargo, el paisaje andino, también involucra zonas costeras, bosques amazónicos, valles secos y otros sistemas naturales y antrópicos que igualmente están influenciados por la dinámica que imponen las montañas en nuestro territorio. En este sentido, avanzar con el estudio de los efectos del cambio climático en los Andes tropicales a escala subregional es una labor importante, por lo cual el desarrollo de este estudio evidencia la importancia de conocer con más profundidad lo que implica esta verticalidad en la Comunidad Andina en las estrategias de respuesta a los efectos del cambio climático, así como la necesidad de desarrollar análisis más específicos en sectores de interés, identificar vacíos de información y abrir espacios para compartir experiencias de proyectos de cooperación que se están desarrollando en la subregión a escalas locales, nacionales y regionales. |

Construyendo la Autonomia: Organizaciones indigenas, gobierno y uso de la tierra en la región amazónica del Ecuador, 1964-2001 (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Erazo, Juliet S. Resumen: Muchos de los aliados --como los ambientalistas, activistas de derechos humanos, propulsores de la reforma educativa, e incluso corporaciones de petróleo y minería-- han intentado influir en la dirección del autogobierno indígena. Dados los limitados recursos para cumplir con sus planes de desarrollo y ejecutar políticas propias, cabe preguntarnos como se mueven líderes indigenas y comunidades dentro de los limites impuestos impuestos por los objetivos de sus aliados. La presente obra intenta responder esta pregunta enfocándose en uno de los experimentos indigenas mas abarcadores y duraderos de autonomía en el Ecuador, la cooperativa Agropecuaria San Pedro de Rukullakta. La cual empezó como un movimiento social en los años sesenta como respuesta a la apropiación de tierras indígenas en la Amazonia Ecuatoriana. |

Footprints of the forest: Ka'apor Ethnobotany-the Historical Ecology of Plant Utilization by an Amazonian People (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Balée, William Resumen: Footprints of the Forest is the clearest and most comprehensive account to date of the relationship between an Amazonian people and their botanical environment. Based on Balee's ten years of ethnological and botanical research among the Tupi-Guarani-speaking Indians, especially the Ka'apor, of eastern Amazonia, this book documents the ways in which the Ka'apor use, manage, name, and classify many hundreds of plant species found in their habitat. From a historical and ecological perspective, Balee shows that Ka'apor ethnobotany represents an interpenetration of Amazonian culture and nature and thus constitutes a domain of scientific inquiry in its own right. The substantive chapters explore the history of the Ka'apor and their present modes of land use, the Ka'apor's influence on the composition of fragile forests in their habitat, and Ka'apor forest management practices. Balee also discusses the nomenclature and classification of indigenous plants as well as the cognitive aspects of magical, medicinal, and poisonous plants. Footprints of the Forest concludes with an explanatory framework for understanding the similarities and differences among the ethnobotanical systems of diverse Amazonian peoples and ten cross-referenced appendices, which will aid those readers interested in specific Amazonian plants and their native names, habitats, and exact uses by the Ka'apor. |

The Social Life Of Trees: Anthropological perspectives on tree symbolism (inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Rival, Laura Resumen: The passionate response of the British public to the Newbury Bypass is a revealing measure of how strongly people feel about trees and the environment. Similarly, in the United States, the giant sequoia of California is an enduring national symbol that inspires intense feelings. As rainforests are sacrificed to the interests of multi-national corporations and traditional ways of life disappear, the status of forests, the cultural significance of trees, and the impact of conservation policies are subjects that have inspired intense engagement. Why do people feel so strongly about trees? With this explosion of interest in environmental issues, a serious study of what trees mean to people has long been overdue. This interdisciplinary book responds to this need by providing the first cross-cultural analysis of tree symbolism. Drawing on rich case studies, contributors explore the processes through which trees are used as metaphors of identity and continuity. Political struggles over forest resources feature prominently, and the perceptions of trees in various cultures provide telling insights into the ways in which human societies conceptualize nature. As well as being a major contribution to the field of symbolic anthropology, this comprehensive study will be essential reading for students in a wide range of courses and for anyone with a keen interest in the politics of ecology, the occult and neo-paganism, and the history and sociology of environmentalism in its widest sense. |

Head Hunters Of The Amazon: My Adventures in the Jungle, 1894-1901 (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Up de Graff, Fritz Resumen: Headhunters of the Amazon (1921) which tells an extraordinary story that simply would not get published today even if any contemporary explorer or adventurer had the opportunity or the cojones to do what Up De Graaf and his companions did so blithely a century ago. However, this is not just a schoolboy tale of derring-do, but contains much fascinating socio-cultural information about the eponymous head-hunters of the title and some fascinating cryptozoological snippets. Could there indeed be a hitherto undiscovered species of giant stork luring in the Amazon jungle? Could it be the same as a prehistoric creature whose remains have been discovered in the same area? And could sightings of such a rara avis explain modern day accounts of pterosaurs reported across central and South America with monotonous regularity? This book sets out the stall for CFZ Classics. It is lavishly illustrated, not only with the original pictures from the original volume but with contemporary engravings and photographs which - we feel - do much to enhance the zeitgeist of the book and the reading experience. Here we would like to thank the massively talented Gareth Shaw who worked so hard on the cover illustration, and who - like us - is a devotee of a style of art, which like so many of the explorers whose thrilling exploits its illustrated, doesn't seem to be around in the rarefied and ever so slightly decadent days. And there's more. One of the most important aspects of this entire project is that, because all the books which are being produced by CFZ Classics are out of copyright and in the public domain, the author royalties from it will be paid to the person who did all the work preparing this new edition. This provides a unique, and we hope entertaining, way for impecunious cryptozoological researchers around the world to fund their activities. |

Indigenous Movements, Self-Representation, and the State in Latin American (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Warren, Kay B. % Jackson, Jean E. (Editores) Resumen: Throughout Latin America, indigenous peoples are responding to state violence and pro-democracy social movements by asserting their rights to a greater measure of cultural autonomy and self-determination. This volume's rich case studies of movements in Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil weigh the degree of success achieved by indigenous leaders in influencing national agendas when governments display highly ambivalent attitudes about strengthening ethnic diversity. |

Global Biopiracy: Patents, Plants, and Indigenous Knowledge (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Mgbeoji, Ikechi Resumen: The appropriation of plants and traditional knowledge by corporations and other entities is often called biopiracy. Such practices arise from a cultural milieu that systematically marginalizes non-Western forms of knowledge, which are devalued as "folk knowledge" or characterized as inferior. Global Biopiracy rethinks the role of international law and legal concepts, global patent systems, and international agricultural research institutions as they affect legal ownership and control of plants and the knowledge that makes them valuable. Ikechi Mgbeoji first examines the Western assumptions and biases that inform the patent system, international law, and institutions affecting farmers around the globe. He next analyzes the cultural and economic traits that divide the industrialized world and the developing world. Finally, Mgbeoji confronts the phenomenal loss of human cultures and plant diversity that has already occurred and that will continue in the future unless protective measures are implemented and enforced. |
