The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable
mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty
and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and
ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political
developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the
almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in
Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a
complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet - a
region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity,
where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of
the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their
ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by
the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries
pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of
making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without
damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic
disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights
into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented
by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum,
help to better understand these fascinating mountains.

Stanley Park is the jewel of Vancouver. It covers almost 400 ha and
is located on a peninsula adjacent to the City center. One of the
Park's key features is its large area of coastal rainforest.
Managing Stanley Park includes many divergent aspects of nature
conservation, recreation and native heritage. The book begins with
some theoretical background knowledge about the urban parks
movement in North America and the management of urban parks. Also,
the City of Vancouver and its region are introduced, including
information about First Nations. The subsequent chapters refer to
Stanley Park. After some Park history, the various recreational
facilities in Stanley Park are described. Then, the Park's role for
nature conservation in its urban environment is discussed. Another
chapter deals with the native heritage of Stanley Park. The book
further reflects the Park's multifunctional role and its conflicts,
and reveals current management aspects and challenges. Oral
interviews with several stakeholders of Stanley Park constituted an
important source of information.
