ISBN: 9780007550777 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Travelling the circumference of the truly gigantic Pacific, Simon Winchester tells the story of the world's largest body of water, and - in matters economic, political and military - the ocean of the future. The Pacific is a world of tsunamis and Magellan, of the Bounty mutiny and the Boeing Company. It is the stuff of the towering Captain Cook and his wide-ranging network of exploring voyages, Robert Louis Stevenson and Admiral Halsey. It is the place of Paul Gauguin and the explosion of the largest-ever American atomic bomb, on Bikini atoll, in 1951. It has an astonishing recent past, an...

Forest Hydrology: Processes, Management and Assessment
ISBN: 9781780646602 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through-fall, as well as pull-water from the soil for transpiration.
The discipline -forest hydrology- has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have...

ISBN: 9780415306386 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Mekong Basin in Southeast Asia is one of the largest international river basins in the world. Its abundant natural resources are shared by six riparian countries and provide the basis for the livelihoods of more than 75 million people. However, ongoing socio-economic growth and related anthropogenic interventions impact the region's ecosystems, and there is an urgent need for the monitoring of the basin's land surface dynamics. Remote sensing has evolved as a key tool for this task, allowing for up-to-date analyses and regular monitoring of environmental dynamics beyond physical or...
