José Luis Herranz Sáez Director of the Autonomus Agency of National Parks D. Juan Garay Zabala When Nature warns us that she is only one on the whole planet, and tries to get us to breathe in harmony with her rhythms, we can but respect her frag- ile and dynamic balance and accept that everything within our grasp will only succeed if we contribute to that necessary unity. The importance of heeding our natural environment and become aware of its rhythms and cycles will reward us in the long run, with addi- tional benefits to the ones that this attitude gives us in itself, inevitably through an honest evaluation of our own nature. Promoting protected areas and the conservation of biodiversity in Argentina (that the Autonomous Organization National Parks of the Spanish Ministry of the Environment supports in publishing this guide), is coherent with the interest in cooperation between the two countries and is a sign of respect to a rich wisdom, without which it is useless to measure oneself but is enriching to pause and observe. The case of Argentina, a paradigm of the biological values of Latin America proves to be particularly enlightening with respect to the willingness to increase that attention and sympathy between man and nature as far as the cre- ation of these protected areas passes through the unconditional support of the indigenous communities of each areas. Thus the objectives and aims of the Argentine National Parks Administration include the reaching of the necessary agreements with the popula- tion that live in the immediate neighbourhood of each area to reach the best results, that is a use that foments sustainable development of the regions that are also con- verted into tourist attractions of the first order. It could not be any other way. Without doubt, a marvelous display of confidence in the future, of faith in the generosity and abundance of the environs, and a wager on the capac- ity for understanding and concord on the road that will integrate the double noun “man/nature”, that transcends confrontational duality and allows us to proceed in harmony that is supportive, natural and pacific. As National Parks are symbolically important as places where the attitudes of caring and protecting, desirable in the whole of Nature, this book is only (and not less than) a symbol of the cultural and emotional links that tie Argentina to Spain, that contributes towards harmonizing a common and unique nature, and a purpose to obey the basic tenet of harmonizing the breath- ing of brother countries. Antonio Serrano Rodríguez General Secretary for Territory and Biodiversity of the Spanish Ministry of the Environment With the publication of this visual guide to the national parks of Argentina we are but paying an old debt. A debt with the many thousands of visitors who choose to visit parks every year; a debt with those who yearn to know more about the protected natural areas of our country, who contact us daily for infor- mation; and finally, with those who work all over the country, and, carrying out their various responsibili- ties, are committed to the protection of our natural and cultural heritage. From the northern province of Jujuy to the southernmost corner of the country, the province of Tierra del Fuego, the 34 protected areas offer us diversity of species and wonderful contrasts in habitat. The reader will find herein information on the national system of pro- tected areas in Argentina, its history, its objectives, recreational and tourist activi- ties, notable species and its contribution to regional and national development. Our task, as described in these pages, will ensure the conservation of our cultural and natural diversity, key aspects in attaining environmental sustainabil- ity as well as social, economic and institutional development in the environs. National parks promote the conservation of native habitats by stimu- lating reflection and through the commitment to protect nature and those cultural relationships that are, and have been, the source of sustainability both at present and in the past. Thus protected areas favour contacts with the native landscapes, dialogue, and intercultural respect as well as communication between peoples, stimulating and diversifying regional economies. This guide would never have seen the light of day without the funda- mental economical support of the Organismo Autónomo Parques Nacionales de España (Autonomous Agency of National Parks of Spain). To them we extend our deepest thanks. And further thanks to the thousands of the world's citizens who choose us as a destination and support us every day. We await them - on these pages and in the field, in order to continue building, from now on, a better future. Ing. Agr.

Each region is identified by a colour code to facilitate finding. The protected areas in each region are arranged chrono- logically so as to put them in the historical context under which they came into being. On the front fly-leaf there is a list in alphabetic order for quick reference to the area sought. In the Introduction there is a précis of the history and objectives of the National System of Protected Areas. Further, there is a map and characteristics of the eco-regions that the system aims to cover. In the Appendix you can find where to increase the information given in this guide and recommendations for visits to protected areas causing the least possible impact. Mini-guides There is a mini-guide for recogni- tion of some group in each region aimed at interesting the visi- tor in some aspect such as tracks,birds,constel- lations or flowers. Any tracks found Four spectacular explanatory dia- can be measured grams help reveal the secrets of the rainforests and the Yungas, the Iguazu using the scale printed falls, Sierra de las Quijadas and the on the back flap.

Decimos que nuestra vida estará completa cuando a nuestros esposos le vaya mejor, cuando tengamos un mejor carro o una mejor casa, cuando nos podamos ir de vacaciones, cuando estemos retirados. Cuando termina cada una de esas etapas, generalmente nos podemos sentir frustrados porque no era todo lo que esperábamos. Entonces, anhelamos que este nuevo momento pase para poder ser felices. La verdad es que no hay mejor momento para ser felices que ahora y la vida misma es cada uno de esos obstáculos que nos encontramos en el camino. Sin embargo, ahora que termina realmente esta fase, espero por la llegada de esa nueva vida que ahora comienza. A ella le dedico mis esfuerzos, mi tesis. AGRADECIMIENTOS A mi Padre Celestial. A mis padres Mercedes y José Luis. A mi tutor Tomás Straka. A todas las personas que aportaron sus conocimientos, tiempo y dedicación para que este trabajo se llevara a cabo de la mejor manera posible. A Oscariny y a Rhonny.

Carreras Doallo*1 Resumen Jules Charles Thays llegó de Francia a la Argentina y construyó parques y plazas públicas en todo el país, así como jardines de estancias y de residencias. El urbanista también estuvo al frente de la Dirección de Parques y Paseos de Buenos Aires por más de dos décadas (1891- 1913). Además, proyectó la creación del Parque Nacional Iguazú, que se realizó en 1934, meses después que el jardinero mayor de Buenos Aires falleciera. Lo hizo para proteger la selva misionera subtropical, desarrollar la región, desde lo económico y lo socio-cultural, y afianzar la imagen de belleza panorámica. Su proyecto consolidó la soberanía nacional en la zona de frontera; permitió el avance de la energía hidráulica y facilitó el turismo al tiempo que la instalación de un casco urbano poblado con diseño radial. El presente trabajo indaga sobre el modo en que Thays fortaleció una representación de la propia nación mediante la protección del patrimonio natural, en particular a través de las ideas para el Parque Iguazú. Palabras clave: Parque Nacional Iguazú - naturaleza - Thays - representaciones - nación Abstract Jules Charles Thays was born in France, he came to Argentina to build parks all around the country as well as gardens for cottages and family residences.

Eidahl December 2017 © 2017 Brad T. Eidahl. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile by BRAD T. EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

  • The Role of Historical Gardens in City Development – from Private Garden to Public Park. E. F. André Heritage Case Study
    Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Agriculture Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 5, Number 5 The role of historical gardens in city development – from private garden to public park. E. F. André heritage case study Vaiva Deveikiene, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Abstract. The paper provides a review of the creation of a French landscape architect Édouard André (1840–1911) and his collaborators from André’s Agency, such as his son René André (1867–1942), Jules Buyssens (1872–1958) and others in four manors of the noble family Tyszkiewicz in Lithuania. The French tradition of public and private parks was a good example how to create parks in Lithuanian landscape. E. André was a leading and famous French landscape architect and horticulturist, a theoretician of the art of parks, a writer, and an editor of the late 19th century. André and his collaborators visited Lithuania at the end of 19th century, in 1897–1899. Using the extraordinary qualities of natural landscape, including in the spatial composition natural watercourses and woods, choosing indigenous plants and implementing they own artistic rules to earthwork gardens to create viewpoints, André and his collaborators created unusual compositions that had been widely praised and admired in those days. The sustainability of historical green spaces of Traku Voke and Palanga in urban structure of Vilnius City and Palanga city is analysed in this article. Sustainable development of public greenery should be exposed as an example in Lithuania as well. Keywords: Edouard André, Lithuania, Historical Park, Public Park. Introduction Research works that were started more than viewpoints, E. André and his collaborators created 20 years ago have inspired various papers and unusual compositions that had been widely praised presentations, publications and exhibitions about and admired in those days in Lithuania.

  • UIMP 2021 – Quo Vadis Europa: Towards a Geopolitical European Union
    UIMP 2021 – Quo Vadis Europa: towards a geopolitical European Union GENERAL OVERVIEW The European Commission committed at the beginning of its legislature to respond to global challenges using a geopolitical approach. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world’s preeminent geopolitical and economic concerns focused around issues such as nuclear proliferation, the resurgence of populism, and financial instability; these concerns are now compounded by new challenges, such as the vulnerability of medical resource supply chains and medicine production processes, among others. The mounting confrontation between the United States and China, and its commercial and digital, as well as ideological and political dimensions, has amplified considerably due to the crisis. In this changing context, the European Union (EU) cannot afford to be absent from global leadership in the post-pandemic world. Meanwhile, the impulse given by the agreements in Europe for the Recovery Funds represents an important step towards further integration, and reinforces Europe’s role in the world. This course will offer in various sessions insights and answers to the following questions: How can the EU increase its strategic autonomy in key areas such as digitalization? How can Europe secure the economic balance necessary for it to position itself as an influential geopolitical player? How can the EU increase its capacity for global action, and export its environmental and trade policies as well as its democratic values? What is the relation of the EU with its strategic
