Marine resources and their exploitation, recovery and economic networks they generate are here from the perspective now inevitable growing environmental constraints, policy management and technical innovation.

The recent development of marine biotechnology, the discovery of a great pharmacopoeia especially in reef environments, the development of marine renewables, are examples which show that man can develop through these new technologies property and services of the ocean.

But this development resources under pressure of global change requires not only taking into account...

In a perspective of sustainable management, the balance between ecological dynamics, social and economic are now at the heart of ecological modeling and environmental strategies screenwriting.

Diversity and marine ecosystems function illustrates biodiversity, habitat diversity, structures and food webs in various oceans of the world and systems: pelagic and benthic ecosystems, coral reefs and seagrass beds, oasis of hydrothermal vents ridges or areas rich upwelling.

Appropriate observation methods, long-term monitoring and modeling reveal the complexity of systems, trophic...

The governance of seas and oceans, defined as all forms of social participation in decision-making on the marine environment, is here mainly from a legal perspective view with the Law of the Sea as a determinant. The book presents the main aspects of maritime law and the history of its construction. The exploitation of living resources, minerals and marine energy reserves, maritime transport, marine ecosystems disturbance by a vessel traffic constantly increasing, are included.

Essential for the defence against all kinds of stress, small stress proteins also play major roles in the physiology, development and differentiation of human cells. In spite of their beneficial roles, small stress proteins can also be deleterious for the organism, notably in some cancer pathologies where they can, through their anti-apoptotic properties, favour tumour development and interfere with the cytotoxic activity of anti-cancer drugs. This book proposes a focus on the recent knowledge in the field of the expression and putative role of small stress proteins in human health and...

This edited volume includes seven essays on language policy, linguistic identity, and social justice in five Caribbean nations: Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Curacao. The contributions explore how bilingualism and multilingualism intersect with cultural identity and language policy issues, including education, the status of Creole languages, and how efforts at language planning have often maintained social segregation based on race, gender, and sexuality. By reconfiguring their environments and creating new spaces that transcend geographically and symbolically bounded...

High-performance charged-couple device (CCD) cameras have opened up an exciting new window on the Universe for amateur astronomers. This book provides a complete, self-contained guide to choosing and using CCD cameras. Beginning with a no-nonsense introduction to CCD cameras, the authors explain what determines camera performance and demonstrate how to use a CCD camera and accurately calibrate the images obtained. The book also presents a clear review of the software available for visualizing, analyzing and processing digital images. Finally, the authors navigate a series of key areas in...

Educators in Europe and the Americas traditionally have little formal training in applied linguistics, and yet they are increasingly faced with a growing multilingual student base. This book responds to the need to make the university community more aware of the unique experience of linguistically diverse students.  Drawing on research and hands-on experience from both linguists and non-linguists who deal with students from different language backgrounds in their classroom, this book includes contributions which include linguistic research on 2nd and 3rd language acquisition, as well as...
