No oeste, a terra e o céu
Over the last several decades, Brazil has emerged as a key player in global debates centered on the growth of commercial agriculture and its environmental consequences. In Brazil, cattle ranching and soybean production have exploded in previously isolated regions such as the Amazon and the cerrado. While the environmental impacts of these industries are well known, the histories of frontier expansion and territorial integration that facilitated t…
Cattle in the Backlands
Cattle in the Backlands is one of the most thoroughly researched histories of cattle ranching in Latin America written to date. Robert Wilcox uses a case study of the seemingly marginal state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, to make a bold argument: that ranchers in Mato Grosso from roughly 1870 to 1950 “established many of the technical and economic inputs that have been duplicated in most other tropical cattle sectors of the Americas” (p. 3). While this…
The Chaco War
The study of the Chaco War is dominated by military and political histories that frame the conflict in national terms in an effort to explain the root causes of the war and its outcome. Why did the war start in the first place, and how was Paraguay able to defeat the more powerful Bolivian army? This volume offers no conclusive answers to these questions. Instead, as Bridget María Chesterton points out in the introduction, the goal of the volume …
Estimating Global “Blue Carbon” Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems
Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems--marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses--that may be lost with habitat destruction ('conversion'). Relatively unappreciated, however, is that conversion of these coastal ecosystems also impacts very large pools of previously-sequestered carbon. Residing mostly in sediments, this 'blue carbon' can be released to the atmosphere when these ecosy…
