Nature is Culture: Indigenous knowledge and socio-cultural aspects of trees and forests in non-European cultures (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Seeland, Klaus (Editor) Resumen: The starting message of of this book is that the so-called virgin forests of the world owe much to their symbiotic relationship with the indigenous peoples who live in and and on the margins of the forests. Human activities have for millennia 'managed' (consciously or unconsciously) the world's forests, resulting in a greatly enhanced biodiversity. The contributors to the book come from many different scientific disciplines, and national and cultural backgrounds. Examples of forests are taken from Asia, Africa and South America, thus reflecting the global nature of the phenomenon. |

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. |

How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology beyond the Human (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Kohn, Eduardo Resumen: Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction–one that offers a more capacious way to think about the world we share with other kinds of beings. |

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. |

Oil Wealth and the Fate of the Forest: A comparative study of eight tropical countries (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Wunder, Sven Resumen: Oil production can damage rainforests, but this is just one side of a complicated story about the impact of oil on land use. This book a study of eight tropical oil-producing countries, examines the linkages between trade, macroeconomics and policies affecting the environment. In a balanced and comprehensive review, including a detailed assessment of land use in Cameroon, Ecuador, Gabon, Papua New Guinea and Venezuela, the author comes up with a counterintuitive suggestion: oil revenues often indirectly come to protect tropical forests. There are numerous implications for policy formulation to decide what can be done to diminish deforestation without jeopardising economic growth. |

Yanomami: A Forest People (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Milliken, William % Albert, Bruce % Goodwin Gomez, Gale Resumen: This is a scholarly and fascinating book about the remarkable relationship between a forest people and their environment. The Yanomami, as indigenous society living on the watershed between the Brazilian Amazon and the Venezuelan Orinoco, depend almost entirely upon what the forest has to offer them. To do so requires an intricate knowledge of plants and animals, their ecology and their uses. Much has been written about the Yanomami over the last twenty years, but until recently this fascinating aspect of their culture has been relatively poorly documented.This book, wich is based largely on new and original research carried out by the authors between 1993 and 1996, has filled in many of the gaps in our knowledge. It includes a comprehensive review of all the pre-existing material, is lavishly illustrated with photographs and paintings, and provides the first complete synthesis of Yanomami ethnobotany as we know it. |

Alternativas a la Deforestación (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Anderson, Anthony (Coor.) Resumen: La tragedia de la deforestación en la Amazonía, así como en otras partes de los trópicos es que su costo en términos tanto económicos, como sociales, culturales y estéticos, está muy lejos de igualar los beneficios. En muchos casos la destrucción de la selva tropical es motivada por ganancias a corto plazo más que por la capacidad productiva de la tierra, a largo plazo. Y como resultado, la deforestación normalmente deja el suelo económica y ecológicamente empobrecido. Este volumen examina una cantidad de alternativas para este escenario, muchas de las cuales eran ya practicadas por los pueblos que viven en la Amazonía. |

The authors weave anthropological theory with longitudinal Ecuadorian ethnography to produce a unique contribution to Latin American Studies. |
