Keck, retell the story of environmentalism in Brazil from the inside out, analyzing the extensive efforts within the country to save its natural environment, and the interplay of those efforts with transnational environmentalism.

ISBN: 9780826339942 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A decade has passed since the publication of the first edition of National Parks and the Woman's Voice: A History. Polly Welts Kaufman thought it time to revisit the subject of activism of women citizens in preserving national parks and to learn how far the promise of the inclusion of career women in the Park Service hierarchy has progressed. Kaufman discovered the staff in a national park can no longer fulfill the Park Service mission without outside support. Both this new reality and the acceptance of women as leaders have affected Park Service culture, making it more collaborative, more...

The Greeks and the Environment
ISBN: 9780847684465 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Environmental ethicists have frequently criticized ancient Greek philosophy as anti-environmental for a view of philosophy that is counterproductive to environmental ethics and a view of the world that puts nature at the disposal of people. This provocative collection of original essays reexamines the views of nature and ecology found in the thought of Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Plotinus. Recognizing that these thinkers were not confronted with the environmental degradation that threatens contemporary philosophers, the contributors to this book find that the Greeks nevertheless provide...

The Green Crusade: Rethinking the Roots of Environmentalism
ISBN: 9780847688173 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As recently as fifty years ago, the billowing industrial smokestack was a proud symbol of progress and power; today it is an image of unbridled corporate irresponsibility. This change in public attitudes reflects a shift in social values as rapid and profound as any in American history. Its effects are so far-reaching that scarcely anyone imagines there was ever an alternative view of the relationship between human beings and nature. Yet for all the time and energy devoted to discussion of environmentalism as a social and political movement, no one has questioned its existence as a coherent...

Restoration of Aquatic Systems
ISBN: 9780849319662 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Simplistic thinking would have us believe that by eliminating the loading of a given pollutant, an aquatic system will revert to its previous pristine state. This premise is without scientific verification. Besides the fact that typically very little documentation exists defining what exactly that previous pristine state was, it should be noted that biological processes are non-linear. They reflect adaptations by populations and corresponding responses of trophic organization that are not predictable by linear models of recovery. Restoration of Aquatic Systems makes a clear delineation...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Beneath the coastal waters of the world lie thousands of artificial reefs.

With the field of aquatic habitat technology continually growing, this book responds to the global need for a compendium of consistent and reliable practices with which to evaluate how well artificial reefs meet their objectives.

Chesapeake Wildlife: Stories of Survival and Loss
ISBN: 9780870335365 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Captain John Smith sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, he discovered a land so rich in wildlife that numbers could not begin to tell the whole story. The abundances of birds blackened the sky. Meat-eating wolves and mountain lions had so much game at their disposal that they didn't bother the caged livestock. Deer could be easily killed ten or fifteen at a time by the native tribes, using primitive tools. The wildlife was so abundant that it was no wonder generations of Europeans--used to the barren countryside at home--could not imagine the need to conserve. So, they didn't. In fact,...

For a Handful of Feathers
ISBN: 9780871136978 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A lifelong hunter and wild-game gourmet who has traveled the globe on expeditions with world-class sportsmen, Guy de la Valdene purchases an 800-acre farm outside Tallahassee and sets out to raise and hunt his favorite game bird, bobwhite quail. But de la Valdene is at heart also a naturalist, and as he plants trees and divides fields, he finds that running the farm compels him to operate at once as both hunter and preservationist, both predator and protector. With sensitivity and patience, de la Valdene has written a book about his, and perhaps society's, place in the natural world. A lifelong hunter and wild-game gourmet who has traveled the globe on expeditions with world-class sportsmen, Guy de la Valdene purchases an 800-ac... |

NAFTA and the Environnment: Seven Years Later
ISBN: 9780881322996 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Air and water pollution blighted northern Mexican cities long before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was a glimmer on the political horizon. Not surprisingly, when NAFTA became a political reality, environmentalists argued that commercial competition would weaken environmental standards in Canada and the United States and industrial growth in Mexico would further damage its weak environmental infrastructure. NAFTA's huge success in expanding free trade has concentrated population and environmental abuse at the US-Mexico border where it is most visible to Americans. Many...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As I see it all around me, the trees are dying out, our water is contaminated, and our air is not good to breathe. Those are the reasons why today I'm trying my best to come back to our ways of thousands of years ago.
We have to come back to the Native way of life. The Native way is to pray for everything, to take care of everything. Our Mother Earth is very important. We can't just misuse her and think she's going to continue. We can see what's taking place: the animal life, the tree life, even the water is telling us, but we're not paying attention to it. We've been told to take care of... As I see it all around me, the trees are dying out, our water is contaminated, and our air is not good to breathe. Those are the reasons why today I'm...
