Forest Certification examines the historical roots of forest certification, the factors that guide the development of protocols, the players involved, the factors determining the customers to be certified, and the benefits of certification. It covers terminology and issues that direct the structure of standards, the similarities between indicators of different human disturbances within the ecosystem/landscape, and certification standards. It documents the roles of human values in the development of assessment protocols and demonstrates how elements should be used to produce non-value based standards.

Thriller político, espías, novela histórica? contiene todos los elementos para atrapar al lector.

En junio 1933, William E. Dodd, profesor de la Universidad de Chicago, recibe la llamada del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, que le nombra embajador de Estados Unidos en Alemania. Deberá viajar con su familia a la capital alemana, un nido de conspiraciones en el que la hija acabará coqueteando con la cúpula del poder nazi?

Como si de una trepidante novela se tratara, Erik Larson realiza una documentada reconstrucción del Berlín de 1933, una ciudad que vivía una de esas encrucijadas en que la realidad supera a la ficción.
