What We Need to Do Now: For a Zero Carbon Future
ISBN: 9781788164719 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. The UK has declared a 'climate emergency' and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050. So how do we get there? Drawing on actions, policies and technologies already emerging around the world, Chris Goodall sets out the ways to achieve this. His proposals include: -Building a huge over-capacity of wind and solar energy, storing the excess as hydrogen. -Using hydrogen to fuel our trains, shipping, boilers and heavy industry, while electrifying buses, trucks and cars. -Farming - and eating - differently, encouraging plant-based alternatives to meat -paying farmers to plant and...

Mineral Beneficiation: A Concise Basic Course
ISBN: 9780367452254 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Mineral Beneficiation or ore dressing of run-of-mine ore is an upgrading process to achieve uniform quality, size and maximum tenor ore through the removal of less valuable material. Beneficiation benefits the costs of freight, handling, and extraction (smelting) reduce, and the loss of metal through slag. Usually carried out at the mine site, it saves time and costs and allows selective, profitable bulk mining. This practical guide presents the essentials of mineral dressing and its support operations. It explains the terms and techniques and provides basic formulas, methods and practical...

Land Use Change and Mountain Biodiversity
ISBN: 9780367453886 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Part of the worldwide biodiversity program DIVERSITAS, the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) assesses the biological richness of high-elevation biota. GMBA's focus includes the uppermost forest regions or their substitute rangeland vegetation, the treeline ecotone, and the alpine and nival belts. Providing more than description, the GMBA explains the causes of biological richness and how diversity changes over time. Because biodiversity changes often result from human land use, part of the GMBA agenda is the assessment of land use impacts. These assessments are critical in...

Working with Nature: Saving and Using the World's Wild Places
ISBN: 9781788161602 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. From cocoa farming in Ghana to the orchards of Kent and the desert badlands of Pakistan, taking a practical approach to sustaining the landscape can mean the difference between prosperity and ruin. Working with Nature is the story of a lifetime of work, often in extreme environments, to harvest nature and protect it - in effect, gardening on a global scale. It is also a memoir of encounters with larger-than-life characters such as William Bunting, the gun-toting saviour of Yorkshire's peatlands and the aristocratic gardener Vita Sackville-West, examining their idiosyncratic approaches to...

Sustainable Wellbeing Futures: A Research and Action Agenda for Ecological Economics
ISBN: 9781789900941 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. Climate disruption, overpopulation, biodiversity loss, the threats of financial collapse, large-scale damage to our natural and social environments and eroding democracy are all becoming critically important concerns. The editors of this timely book assert that these problems are not separate, but all stem from our overreliance on an out-dated approach to economics that puts growth of production and consumption above all else. Ecological economics can help create the future that most people want - a future that is prosperous, just, equitable and sustainable. This forward-thinking book...

ISBN: 9780127472614 / Angielski / Twarda / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom considers deserts stark, harsh regions that support few living things.

Image and Environment: Cognitive Mapping and Spatial Behavior
ISBN: 9780202307664 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Cognitive mapping is a construct that encompasses those processes that enable people to acquire, code, store, recall, and manipulate information about the nature of their spatial environment. It refers to the attributes and relative locations of people and objects in the environment, and is an essential component in the adaptive process of spatial decision-making-such as fi nding a safe and quick route to and from work, locating potential sites for a new house or business, and deciding where to travel on a vacation trip. Cognitive processes are not constant, but undergo change with age or...
