Book Description
"Introducción a la teoría de la planificación territorial", describe el desarrollo de las ideas y teorías que han ido sucediéndose desde principios del pasado siglo a la búsqueda de un método que permita establecer cómo afrontar el proceso de planificación en ordenación del territorio y urbanismo. La teoría de la planificación se preocupa del procedimiento de la planificación y de la implementación del plan. Preguntas como: ¿cuáles son las fuentes de legitimidad del plan?, ¿cómo abordar un proceso de decisión?, ¿a quién favorece la decisión?, ¿cómo se define el interés general?, ¿cuál es el rol del experto?, ¿qué papel juega la participación?, etc., son, entre otras, las que este libro trata de responder y poner en evidencia. El libro es una guía accesible a la teoría de la planificación para enseñantes y profesionales, así como para los estudiantes que tienen como propósito formarse en el "arte" y la "ciencia" de la planificación.

Book Description
This book provides everything from basic knowledge to the recent understandings of avian reproductive physiology, covering many unique aspects. It will inspire avian biologists as well as researchers in varied fields and will offer important steps towards better fertilization success in birds.In spite of the recent remarkable developments in modern technology, a comprehensive understanding of the reproductive mechanisms is still far in the future due to the diverse reproductive tactics in vertebrates. Birds have highly refined reproductive strategies and some of those strategies are unique to birds. However, together with ongoing progress of the genome analysis of birds and the crying need for further increase in meat and egg production, research on avian reproduction is now accelerating and becoming more important.With contributions by leading scientists, the book explains avian primordial germ cells; the sex-determining mechanism; reproductive endocrinology and immunology; sperm, egg, and egg coat; sperm–egg interaction; polyspermic fertilization; seasonal reproduction; social triggers; hormonal and behavioral changes; broodiness; oviductal sperm storage; and biotechnology. This book is recommended for all researchers and students who are interested in birds or reproduction.

Book Description
Incorporating new information on migratory birds, most gathered within the past decade, this comprehensive synthesis is the first book to explore migration principally from the perspective of the tropical, or nonbreeding, portion of the migrant life cycle.

Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive biological and ecological information about owls in the neotropic area. In addition the book covers topics such as threats and conservation strategies for these nocturnal birds of prey from 18 Neotropical countries. Owls are a good example of diversification processes and have developed evolutionary characteristics themselves. These species are found almost everywhere in the world but most of them are distributed in tropical areas and about a third of them live in the Neotropics. This biogeographic region has a high biodiversity and even share lineages of species from other continents because at some point all were part of Pangea. Although we still have much to know and understand about this diverse, scarcely studied and threatened group this work aims to be a precedent for future and further research on the subject.
