Invertebrate Biology: A Functional Approach
ISBN: 9781475703337 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Courses on the invertebrates have two principal aims: (1) to introduce students to the diversity of animal life and (2) to make them aware that organisms are marvellously integrated systems with evolutionary pasts and ecological presents. This text is concerned exclusively with the second aim and assumes that the reader will already know something about the diversity and classification of invertebrates. Concepts of whole-organism function, metabolism and adaptation form the core of the subject-matter and this is also considered in an ecological setting. Hence, the approach is...

Life Cycles: An Evolutionary Approach to the Physiology of Reproduction, Development and Ageing
ISBN: 9780412215209 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. As time progresses, biology becomes more and more fragmented and specialized and it becomes increasingly difficult to see how all the dis- parate facts fit together. It is completely proper that biologists should have sought to reduce complex biological wholes into their parts, and it is natural that studies on the products of this reduction should have diverged from more holistic studies on evolution and ecology. Yet the biological parts, what they do and how they are organized are products of an evolutionary process which fits organisms for life in particular ecological circumstances....

Handbook of Environmental Risk Assessment and Management
ISBN: 9780865427327 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the heart of environmental protection is risk assessment: the likelihood of pollution from accidents; the likelihood of problems from normal and abnormal operation of industrial processes; the likely impacts associated with new synthetic chemicals; and so on. Currently, risk assessment has been very much in the news--the risks from BSE and E. coli, and the public perception of risks from nuclear waste, etc. This new publication explains how scientific methodologies are used to assess risk from human activities and the resultant objects and wastes, on people and the environment....

Evolutionary Principles
ISBN: 9781468415209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The last few years have seen a number of new books on evolutionary biology. However most of these are either large or specialized. This is an attempt to produce a thin, general version for undergraduate use. Thinness, of course, demands selectivity, and the aim has been to concentrate on the principles of the subject rather than on the details-principles, that is, of both theory and practice. Thinness also sometimes means that a certain level of knowledge is assumed in the readership, but I hope that this is not the case here, and my intention has certainly been to produce something that is...

Evolutionary Physiological Ecology
ISBN: 9780521101653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Physiological ecology is concerned with the way that physiological traits fit organisms for the ecological circumstances in which they live, so there is always an implicit evolutionary component to it. This book is concerned with physiological studies that make the evolutionary considerations explicit. The first part explores physiological models that predict how, under different ecological pressures, resources should be invested in such metabolic processes as costs of maintenance, growth patterns and allometries, ageing and physiological adaptability. In the context of the integrated...

Achieving Water Security: Lessons from Research in Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene in Ethiopia
ISBN: 9781853397639 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) While achieving water security remains an elusive goal across large swathes of sub-Saharan Africa, the benefits of investing in water, sanitation and hygiene to achieve basic water security and alleviate poverty are clear. Households benefit through a range of health, educational, nutritional and broader livelihood impacts; local, regional and national economies benefit from greater economic activity, spending and investment; and over the longer-term, households and economies benefit through greater resilience to climate change and shocks. So why are governments and their development partners...

Controlling Environmental Risks from Chemicals: Principles and Practice
ISBN: 9780471969952 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Commercial chemicals contribute to our social welfare, yet can pose serious problems for the environment. How do we recognise these problems? How do we manage them? How do we objectively balance environmental risks with social benefits? This book describes the principles and practices of ecological risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis, asking key but challenging questions such as ?what are we trying to protect and ?how do we undertake a cost-benefit analysis . It also shows how these principles are written into legislation. The emphasis is on the EU Directives and Regulations, with a...

Evaluating and Monitoring the Health of Large-Scale Ecosystems
ISBN: 9783642794667 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Ecosystem health offers a fresh perspective on the management of natural resources and the environment. While some of the root concepts can surely be traced back to Aldo Leopold and even earlier, it is only in the recent decade that a substantial body of work has emerged on this topic. There is no question that a novel approach which is by its nature cross disciplinary, bridging the health and biological sciences, will initially raise a number of questions particularly pertaining to the use of metaphors and the validity of the analogy. This volume however goes beyond merely the philosophical...
