Book Description
El manejo de los RSU es un problema ambiental a nivel mundial. La creciente generacion y cambio de composicion evidenciada desde finales del siglo XX de estos residuales en La Habana y la falta de enfoques integrales de gestion preocupan a las autoridades ambientales del territorio, sobre todo en sitios de alta significacion por sus valores historicos y culturales como su Centro Historico, declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad en 1982. Las labores en viviendas, industrias, servicios, actividades constructivas y de restauracion de La Habana Vieja producen grandes volumenes de residuos solidos que permanecen en microvertederos de calles y aceras del municipio, impactando negativamente el entorno y calidad de vida de la poblacion. Por ello, la gestion de estos figura como un aspecto esencial a tratar en los proximos anos, la cual debera realizarse con enfoque holistico y de integralidad, considerando desde la generacion hasta la disposicion final. El estudio aborda las problematicas asociadas al manejo de residuos solidos urbanos en La Habana Vieja y su Centro Historico, asi como las potencialidades de la implementacion en el territorio de un sistema integral de gestion.

Book Description
In this groundbreaking book, Arnold August explores Cuba's unique form of democracy, presenting a detailed and balanced analysis of Cuba's electoral process and the state's functioning between elections. By comparing them with practices in the U.S., Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, August shows that people's participation in politics and society is not limited to a singular, U.S.- centric understanding of democracy. Through this deft analysis, August illustrates how the process of democratization in Cuba is continually in motion and argues that a greater understanding of different political systems teaches us to not be satisfied with either blanket condemnations or idealistic political illusions.

Book Description
On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Book Description
This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.
