Far north, hidden behind grim barriers of pack ice, are lands that hold one spellbound. Gigantic imaginary gates, with hinges set in the horizon, seem to guard these lands. Slowly the gates swing open, and one enters another world where men are insignificant amid the awesome immensity of lonely mountains, fjords, and glaciers.- - Louise Boyd, photographer, 1935

The Land at the Edge of the World - Greenland and Our Future
ISBN: 9781608625512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Greenland is perhaps the only land that was once a colony of a European power that by choice became an integral and semi-autonomous province within the colonizing power, the Kingdom of Denmark. It is now evolving toward independence. This book is a collection of 19th century eye-witness narratives of Greenland, - the land ("Could any place be handsomer than Greenland?") and its people - that record the slowly evolving status of that colony toward independence in the 21st century. It is a unique record within the world's political history. The narratives draw us "as if by some unseen hand into...

Hierarchical Perspectives on Marine Complexities: Searching for Systems in the Gulf of Maine
ISBN: 9780231124898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Gulf of Maine supports a vital fishery for North America and is one of the most intensely studied marine ecosystems in the world.

Hierarchy Theory offers a perspective that simplifies the apparent complications and contradictions of ecosystems, which encompass a number of scales of time (from minutes to decades or longer) and of space (from...

An Enormous, Immensely Complicated Intervention: Groundfish, the New England Fishery Management Council, and the World Fisheries Crisis
ISBN: 9781598248333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book reviews the fisheries of New England - the poster child of mismanagement - since 1977. It finds that many of the explanations offered for the New England problems are incorrect or irrelevant or counterproductive. It suggests that the problems lie in two general categories: first, the legislative and administrative context of management; and second and more serious, fundamental issues concerning fishing technologies, and lack of effective effort control strategies and an operational hypothesis of the dynamics of marine ecosystems. These latter issues are not confined to New England,...
