Luis González – författare

The village of San JosÉ de Gracia is not mentioned in any history of Mexico, nor is it referred to in any of the annals of the state of MichoacÁn. It is not to be found at all on most maps, and almost none show its correct location. It is an unknown point in space, in time, and in the consciousness of the Mexican republic.In Luis GonzÁlez's classic history of the world of San JosÉ, he turns his attention in every direction: toward what is lasting and what is ephemeral, everyday and unusual, material and spiritual. The story is, to some extent, the story of rural life anywhere, in any age; to some extent it is peculiar to the world of the peasant all through Mexico's history; and to some extent it can be said to be true only of San JosÉ.The history of San JosÉ is also the history of the village as victim of the megalopolis, not only in Mexico but everywhere in our time. With the small community will be lost traditions and a sense of continuity that may prove irreplaceable and essential to human wellbeing. While Luis GonzÁlez does not suggest that he knows what the fate of San JosÉ will be, one feels that he knows all too well, and that his questions are only "How?" and "How soon?"

Allelopathy can be viewed from different of perspectives, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level, and including molecular biology, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant ecophysiology and ecology, with information coming also from the organic chemistry, soil sciences, microbiology and many other scientific disciplines.

There are many good books in the market dealing with the subject of allelopathy. When we designed the outline of this new book, we thought that it should include as many different points of view as possible, although in an integrated general scheme. Allelopathy can be viewed from different of perspectives, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level, and including molecular biology, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant ecophysiology and ecology, with information coming also from the organic chemistry, soil sciences, microbiology and many other scientific disciplines. This book was designed to include a complete perspective of allelopathic process. The book is divided into seven major sections. The first chapter explores the international development of allelopathy as a science and next section deals with methodological aspects and it explores potential limitations of actual research. Third section is devoted to physiological aspects of allelopathy. Different specialists wrote about photosynthesis, cell cycle, detoxification processes, abiotic and biotic stress, plant secondary metabolites and respiration related to allelopathy. Chapters 13 through 16 are collectively devoted to various aspects of plant ecophysiology on a variety of levels: microorganisms, soil system and weed germination. Fundamental ecology approaches using both experimental observations and theoretical analysis of allelopathy are described in chapters 16 and 17. Those chapters deal with the possible evolutionary forces that have shaped particular strategies. In the section named “allelopathy in different environments”, authors primarily center on marine, aquatic, forest and agro ecosystems. Last section includes chapters addressing application of the knowledge of allelopathy.

Más allá de juicios morales, ¿qué podemos aprender de personas y organizaciones que hacen muy bien el mal? ¿Cómo aplicarlo y aprovecharlo para el bien de todos en el mundo empresarial actual?A través de magníficos relatos de piratas, tan increíbles como ciertos, el autor nos transporta a otra época para emocionarnos y reflexionar juntos sobre qué podemos aprender que sea útil para nuestras empresas para rebelarnos contra organizaciones y personas depredadoras, injustas o mediocres, competir contra ellas o transformarlas desde dentro para el bien de empresas, personas y sociedades, ya seas emprendedor, empresario, manager, profesional de RRHH, o simplemente rebelde constructivo.
