American Perceptions of Immigrant and Invasive Species: Strangers on the Land
ISBN: 9780520249301 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose, humans have transported plants and animals to new habitats around the world. Arriving in ever-increasing numbers to American soil, recent invaders have competed with, preyed on, hybridized with, and carried diseases to native species, transforming our ecosystems and creating anxiety among environmentalists and the general public. But is American anxiety over this crisis of ecological identity a recent phenomenon? Charting shifting attitudes to alien species since the 1850s, Peter Coates brings to light the rich cultural and historical aspects of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A compelling story of place, Steward's Fork explores northwest California's magnificent Klamath Mountains--a region that boasts a remarkable biodiversity, a terrain so rugged that significant landscape features are still being discovered there, and a wealth of natural resources that have been used, and more recently abused, by humans for millennia.

Marine Biodiversity: Patterns and Processes
ISBN: 9780521022651 / Angielski / Miękka / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Until we have a firmer idea of the diversity of a wide range of marine habitats and what controls it, we have little hope of conserving biodiversity, or determining the impact of human activities such as mariculture, fishing, dumping of waste and pollution. This book brings together key studies from the deep sea and open ocean, to tropical shores and polar regions, to consider how comparable the patterns and processes underlying diversity are in these different ecosystems.

The Conservation of Plant Biodiversity
ISBN: 9780521467315 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As in other areas of conservation, the crucial question concerning plant biodiversity isn't whether to conserve but how best to conserve diversity at the different levels of biological organization--the gene, the species and the community. Conservation biology is faced with several controversial issues, such as the dichotomy between the preservation of individual species versus a broader focus on the environment, the relative importance to give to endangered species, the design and management of reserves, and the drive for increasing agricultural productivity through plant improvement versus...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As humans continue to encroach into natural habitats, and conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they have been absent, contact between humans and wild animals is growing. Some species, even the endangered, can have serious impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Tigers kill people, elephants destroy crops and African wild dogs devastate sheep herds left unattended. This book presents a variety of solutions to human-wildlife conflicts, including novel and traditional farming practices, controlled hunting and tourism, as well as the development of local and national conservation...

ISBN: 9780521536875 / Angielski / Miękka / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Most large herbivores require some type of management within their habitats. Some populations of large herbivores are at the brink of extinction, some are under discussion for reintroduction, whilst others already occur in dense populations causing conflicts with other land use. Large herbivores are the major drivers for forming the shape and function of terrestrial ecosystems. This 2006 book addresses the scientifically based action plans to manage both the large herbivore populations and their habitats worldwide. It covers the processes by which large herbivores not only affect their...

Timber Production and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Rain Forests
ISBN: 9780521607629 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Timber production is often the most economic form of land use in areas of tropical forest: forest preservation is rarely so. The area of tropical forest reserved for timber production exceeds that of National Parks and other preserved areas by a ratio of at least 8: 1. Although often poorly managed to date, production forests have the potential to support a high percentage of natural forest biodiversity. They have a vital role to play in conservation strategies. This book attempts to bridge the current gap between conservation requirements and commercial interests, indicating the...

Chronicles from the Environmental Justice Frontline
ISBN: 9780521669009 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Chronicles from the Environmental Justice Frontline describes four cases in Louisiana in which residents were locked in struggles with industry and government representatives over issues of environmental injustice. Roberts and Toffolon-Weiss explain how, at the end of the twentieth century, situations of environmental injustice were created and eventually resolved. The authors show that conflicts do not occur in a vacuum. Rather, one struggle changes policy, trains political actors, activists, and industry representatives, and can have a significant effect on all future struggles.

Connectivity Conservation
ISBN: 9780521673815 / Angielski / Miękka / 732 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity...
