Masones y cristeros en Jalisco estudia cómo la masonería apoyó al gobierno mexicano en su lucha contra la Iglesia católica, tal como lo explicó el presidente Emilio Portes Gil en una célebre reunión con algunos de los más conspicuos masones para justificar los arreglos que dieron fin a ese conflicto, cuando destacó que en los gobiernos mexicanos a partir de la Reforma se ncontraba la masonería. Dada la importancia del tema invita a una investigación mayor, sobre todo en los archivos masónicos jaliscienses, fuente de difícil acceso. Esta Jornada es un adelanto de Cristeros y agraristas en Jalisco, obra en tres volúmenes, los dos primeros en prensa y el tercero en proceso de elaboración.

A creative and comprehensive exploration of the institutional forces undermining the management of environments critical to public health. For almost two decades, the citizens of Western Mexico have called for a cleanup of the Santiago River, a water source so polluted it emanates an overwhelming acidic stench. Toxic clouds of foam lift off the river in a strong wind. In Sewer of Progress , Cindy McCulligh examines why industrial dumping continues in the Santiago despite the corporate embrace of social responsibility and regulatory frameworks intended to mitigate environmental damage. The fault, she finds, lies in a disingenuous discourse of progress and development that privileges capitalist growth over the health and well-being of ecosystems. Rooted in research on institutional behavior and corporate business practices, Sewer of Progress exposes a type of regulatory greenwashing that allows authorities to deflect accusations of environmental dumping while "regulated" dumping continues in an environment of legal certainty. For transnational corporations, this type of simulation allows companies to take advantage of double standards in environmental regulations, while presenting themselves as socially responsible and green global actors. Through this inversion, the Santiago and other rivers in Mexico have become sewers for urban and industrial waste. Institutionalized corruption, a concept McCulligh introduces in the book, is the main culprit, a system that permits and normalizes environmental degradation, specifically in the creation and enforcement of a regulatory framework for wastewater discharge that prioritizes private interests over the common good. Through a research paradigm based in institutional ethnography and political ecology, Sewer of Progress provides a critical, in-depth look at the power relations subverting the role of the state in environmental regulation and the maintenance of public health.

El tema de las dinámicas culturales ha experimentado un desarrollo importante durante los últimos años dentro de la arqueología mesoamericana. Apoyándose a la vez sobre el mejoramiento de los conocimientos acerca de los contenidos culturales de las diferentes entidades, como de sus evoluciones diacrónicas, y gracias a una renovación de los acercamientos teóricos, el estudio de relaciones tan diversas como el comercio y el abastecimiento en materias primas, los intercambios a nivel de la ideología y la circulación de de las ideas, hasta las migraciones de grupos humanos, de nueva cuenta ha vuelto a ser tema de actualidad. Es en particular el caso de las relaciones complejas que se han establecido entre el occidente, el centro-norte, el noroccidente y la cuenca central, que encuentran así nuevas oportunidades de interpretación. E s t e volumen se propone revisar algunos aspectos de estas dinámicas culturales entre el Preclásico y el Epiclásico, a raiz de las investigaciones recientes. Se examinan sucesivamente el periodo Preclásico, c o n contribuciones sobre El Opeño, la cultura de las tumbas de tiro, la cultura Chupicuaro y la cuenca de México, el periodo Clásico, c o n el problema de las relaciones de Teotihuacán conel centro - norte , y por finel periodo Epiclásico con estudios realizados en Jalisco, Zacatecas, Guanajuato y el c e n t r o de México.

This book provides essential information on Mexico’s Holocene and Anthropocene climate and vegetation history. Considering the geography of Mexico – which is home to a variety of climatic and environmental conditions, from desert and tropical to high mountain climates – this book focuses on its postglacial paleoecology and paleoclimatology. Further, it analyses human intervention since the middle Holocene as a major agent of environmental change. Offering a valuable tool for understanding past climate change and its relationship with present climate change, the book is a must-read for botanists, ecologists, palaeontologists and graduate students in related fields.

It has long been claimed that addressing biodiversity loss and other environmental problems demands a better understanding of the social dimensions of conservation; nevertheless, the active participation of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in conservation initiatives is still a challenging and somehow controversial issue. In this context, this book hopes to give voice to other perspectives related to biodiversity conservation beyond the “fortress conservation” model and emphasize one of the pillars of democracy – popular participation. It covers a wide range of environments and issues of special significance to the topic, such as the expansion of culturally constructed niches, protected areas and food security, community-based management, participatory agroforestry, productive restoration and biocultural conservation. The contents also explore the limitations and shortcomings of participatory practices in protected areas, the relationship between the global crisis of democracy and the decline of biocultural diversity, as well as present current discussions on policy frameworks and governance systems for effective participatory biodiversity conservation. In sum, this book provides a comprehensive and realistic perspective on the social dimensions of conservation based on a series of interrelated themes in participatory biodiversity conservation. The connections between biocultural conservation and the current political and economic environment are highlighted through the chapters and the book closes with a debate on ways to reconcile human welfare, environmental justice and biodiversity conservation.
