Life on Planet Earth is at risk as a result of the negligent development model followed by one species: humans. The Great Family of Life explains the causes, consequences and desirable solutions to the unbalanced and unfair relationship between Homo sapiens and the other species that inhabit Planet Earth in a succinct, enjoyable and thought-provoking way. Major sociological, economic, political, religious and phylosophical perspectives are reviewed in order to understand why we have reached the current alarming status of global biodiversity during the Anthropocene, and how we can react to it to attain not just human welfare, but Global Happiness. This book explains the causes, consequences and desirable solutions to the unbalanced and unfair relationship between Homo sapiens and the other species that inhabit Planet Earth in a succinct, enjoyable and thought-provoking way. Major sociological, economic, political, educational, religious and phylosophical perspectives are reviewed in order to understand why we have reached the current alarming status of global biodiversity during the Anthropocene, and how we can react to it to attain not just human welfare, but global happiness. The target audience is wide, from the general public interested in the deep inner causes of environmental degradation, to college and university students and lecturers, notably in the fields of environmental ethics, environmental philosophy, environmental law and environmental politics.

We exploit plausibly exogenous geographical variation in the reduction in domestic demand caused by the Great Recession in Spain to document the existence of a robust, within-firm negative causal relationship between demand-driven changes in domestic sales and export flows. Spanish manufacturing firms whose domestic sales were reduced by more during the crisis observed a larger increase in their export flows, even after controlling for firms' supply determinants (such as labor costs). This negative relationship between demand-driven changes in domestic sales and changes in export flows illustrates the capacity of export markets to counteract the negative impact of local demand shocks. We rationalize our findings through a standard heterogeneous-firm model of exporting expanded to allow for non-constant marginal costs of production. Using a structurally estimated version of this model, we conclude that the firm-level responses to the slump in domestic demand in Spain could well have accounted for around one-half of the spectacular increase in Spanish goods exports (the so-called 'Spanish export miracle') over the period 2009-13.

Aquest informe té la finalitat d'analitzar el paper de l'esport com a mitjà per a millorar les condicions de vida de les dones i per a desenvolupar la igualtat de gènere en l'esport. Repassa les principals tendències en l'esport de les dones, analitza les dades estadístiques que mesuren l'esport femení, presenta i actualitza alguns dels principals debats que han vertebrat aquest camp d'estudi, recopila nombroses experiències que representen bones pràctiques i fonts d'inspiració per a avançar en la participació esportiva de les dones, i ofereix una panoràmica del paper de les institucions internacionals i nacionals darrere de la igualtat de gènere en l'esport. L'informe pretén servir a les administracions públiques, al món associatiu i al personal tècnic esportiu, preferentment a la Comunitat Valenciana, per a aprofundir en aquesta matèria, conéixer l'estat de la qüestió i inspirar iniciatives al voltant de la igualtat de gènere en l'esport. Encara que el focus està posat en l'esport i en les dones valencianes, l'abast i les recomanacions d'aquest informe poden superar el marc de la societat valenciana
