Eco-Economy: Building a New Economy for the Environmental Age
ISBN: 9780393321937 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 1543, Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the view that the Sun revolved around the Earth, arguing instead that the Earth revolved around the Sun. His paper led to a revolution in thinking to a new worldview. "Eco-Economy" discusses the need today for a similar shift in our worldview. The issue now is whether the environment is part of the economy or the economy is part of the environment. Lester R. Brown argues the latter, pointing out that treating the environment as part of the economy has produced an economy that is destroying its natural support systems. Brown notes that...

Earth Policy Reader
ISBN: 9780393324068 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Brown explains, for example, why wind-generated electricity with its abundance and falling cost is emerging as the foundation of the new post-fossil fuel energy economy: now cheaper than electricity from coal, oil, or natural gas, it can be used to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen, the fuel of choice for the new fuel cell engines that every major automobile manufacturer is working on. And since an eco-economy relies heavily on recycling materials already in the system, such as steel and aluminum, we learn how, in this new economy, recycling industries will largely replace mining...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Growing evidence suggests that the global economy, rooted in ideas and assumptions that were progressive two hundred years ago, is now destroying its own ecological base and offering little to billions of impoverished people.

Wheater Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK. In the past two decades much has been achieved in the sphere of breeding endangered species, and we should be pleased that our co operative efforts have already borne so much fruit. However, on balance and despite the best efforts of conservationists, the position of wildlife in the wild places where they are best conserved has become worse, often dramatically worse. Before returning to the United Kingdom in 1972, I was in Uganda for 16 years, most of which time was spent as Chief Warden of...

Molecular Tools for Screening Biodiversity: Plants and Animals
ISBN: 9780412638305 / Angielski / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Mark Chase There are many literature resources available to molecular biologists wishing to assess genetic variation, but the myriad of techniques and approaches potentially available to the plant breeder and the evolutionary biologist is truly bewildering, and most have never been evaluated side-by-side on the same sets of samples. Additionally, it is often not recognized that tools that are useful for breeders can often be adapted for use in evolutionary studies and vice versa, but this is generally the case. The borderline between population genetics and phylogenetics is vague and...

Conservation & Use Wildlife Resources
ISBN: 9780412713507 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Not everybody cares about the fate of wild animals or the state of the natural environment. I met a lady who said it wouldn't worry her if all the wild animals in the world disappeared overnight. She was a city person she said. There are also people who would prefer to let animals become extinct than to have them kept in captivity - no matter how progressive the zoo. There are those who, on principle, will not eat meat, let alone do the killing, and there are those who enjoy nothing so much as shooting birds. People in the last two camps may oppose each other in claiming to be con...

Wildlife Conservation by Sustainable Use
ISBN: 9780412797309 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the major challenges of sustainable development is the interdisciplinary nature of the issues involved. To this end, a team of conservation biologists, hunters, tourist operators, ranchers, wildlife and land managers, ecologists, veterinarians and economists was convened to discuss whether wildlife outside protected areas in Africa can be conserved in the face of agricultural expansion and human population growth. They reached the unequivocal - if controversial - conclusion that wildlife can be an economic asset, especially in the African savannas, if this wildlife can be sustainably...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Few developments in 20th-century thought owe more to the power of the written and visual image than the environmental movement.
