Scale Dependence and Scale Invariance in Hydrology
ISBN: 9780521571258 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Whether processes in the natural world are dependent or independent of the scale at which they operate is one of the major issues in hydrologic science. In this volume, leading hydrologists present their views on the role of scale effects in hydrologic phenomena occurring in a range of field settings, from the land surface to deep fractured rock. Self-contained and thought-provoking chapters cover both theoretical and applied hydrology. They provide critical insights into important topics such as general circulation models, floods, river networks, vadose zone processes, groundwater transport,...

Fraternity Among the French Peasantry: Sociability and Voluntary Associations in the Loire Valley, 1815-1914
ISBN: 9780521602716 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using meticulous archival research, Alan Baker challenges the orthodox portrayal of nineteenth-century French peasants as individualists and examines the extent to which they both continued with traditional forms of community action and developed new forms of collective action. More specifically, he examines the development and spread of voluntary associations in Loir-et-Cher, on the southwestern margin of the Paris Basin. He focuses on associations aimed at reducing risk and uncertainty (mainly livestock insurance associations, mutual aid societies, and volunteer fire brigades), and on...

Power and Pauperism: The Workhouse System, 1834-1884
ISBN: 9780521607476 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Power and Pauperism aims to provide a new perspective on the place of the workhouse in the history and geography of nineteenth-century society and social policy. The workhouse system is set in the wider context in an age associated, paradoxically, with both laissez-faire and increasing state regulation. The study pays particular attention to conflicts over Poor Law policy and workhouse design. Dr Driver demonstrates that despite appearances the workhouse system was far from monolithic, and that official policy was beset with conflict: his study combines a national perspective on the system...

Adaptation Policy Frameworks for Climate Change: Developing Strategies, Policies and Measures
ISBN: 9780521617604 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Adaptation is a process by which individuals, communities and countries seek to cope with the consequences of climate change. The process of adaptation is not new; the idea of incorporating future climate risk into policy-making is. While our understanding of climate change and its potential impacts has become clearer, the availability of practical guidance on adaptation has not kept pace. The development of the Adaptation Policy Framework (APF) is intended to help provide the rapidly evolving process of adaptation policy-making with a much-needed roadmap. Ultimately, the purpose of the APF...
