Mother Earth: Peace and Harmony
ISBN: 9781456796211 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some time in the near future mother earth will cleanse herself in one way or another. Maybe a new ice age, melting of the ice caps, fresh water released into the oceans causing the gulf stream to fail and the Northern hemisphere cooling down. There could be a large volcanic eruption which could cause a nuclear winter by blocking out the sun. Earth quakes in the oceans causing tsumamis engulfing the land masses. Our life style in the past 200 years has helped to increase these events occurring. With the world population growing we have to feed each other and have a good supply of fresh water...

Live Pterosaurs in America: Not extinct, flying creatures of cryptozoology that some call pterodactyls or flying dinosaurs or prehistoric birds
ISBN: 9781466292116 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Encounters with living pterosaurs Live "pterodactyls?" In the United States? Many scientists have long assumed all pterosaurs died millions of years ago. Now take a whirlwind tour of many years of investigations in cryptozoology, and prepare for a shock: At least two species of pterosaurs have survived, uncommon, not so much rare as widely, thinly distributed. Nocturnal pterosaurs have always lived among us, but hidden by something. Enter now the realm of a new branch of cryptozoology, a branch overshadowed by the dogma of a "universal extinction." How did scientists miss living pterosaurs?...

Habitat Conservation Planning: Endangered Species and Urban Growth
ISBN: 9780292708068 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As environmental awareness grows around the world, people are learning that a diversity of species and the habitat to support them is necessary to maintain the ecological health of the earth. At the same time, however, the pressure to develop wildlife habitat for human settlement and economic gain also grows, causing frequent clashes between the forces of development and of conservation. This pioneering study focuses on a new tool for resolving the land-use conflict--the creation of habitat conservation plans (HCPs). Timothy Beatley explores the development and early results of this...

The Amateur Naturalist (and Exotic Petkeeper) #9
ISBN: 9781905723638 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For 100 years, from the mid-19th Century, natural history was the premier British hobby. Over the last 50 years it has declined in popularity for a number of reasons, most notably that killing living creatures for a hobby is quite rightly no longer seen as ethical. With the technological advances of the 21st Century, however, everything has changed. With a digital camera one can have a butterfly collection for example, and with the advent of cheap air travel, places once only accessible by the Gerald Durrells of this world, can be visited by everybody. Suddenly, the amateur naturalist can...

Elephants & Whales: Resources for Whom?
ISBN: 9782884490108 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text examines issues surrounding the management and conservation of a particular category of animal, namely the mediagenic megafauna, or the largest of the land and sea mammals. The value accorded to different biotic resources varies significantly depending upon the interests and goals of the parties undertaking the valuation, and these different perceptions often come to influence management of these species. Discussion and programmes directed toward saving elephants and whales are particularly instructive in this regard, as these species appeal to diverse groups for markedly different...

Ecosystem Planning in Florida: Solving Regional Problems through Local Decision-making
ISBN: 9780754672494 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While ecosystem management requires looking beyond specific jurisdiction and focusing on broad spatial scales, most planning decisions particularly in the USA, are made at local level. By looking at land-use planning in Florida, this volume recognizes the need for planners and resource managers to address ecosystem problems at local and community levels. The factors causing ecosystem decline, such as rapid urban development and habitat fragmentation occur at the local level and are generated by local land use policies. This book argues that understanding how local jurisdictions can capture...

Governing Agrobiodiversity: Plant Genetics and Developing Countries
ISBN: 9780754647416 / Angielski / Twarda / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Plant genetic diversity is crucial to the breeding of food crops and is therefore a central precondition for food security. Diverse genetic resources provide the genetic traits required to deal with crop pests and diseases, as well as changing climate conditions. Plant genetic diversity is also essential for traditional small-scale farming, and is therefore an indispensable factor in the fight against poverty. However, the diversity of domesticated plant varieties is disappearing at an alarming rate while interest in the commercial use of genetic resources has increased in line with...

Governing Global Biodiversity: The Evolution and Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity
ISBN: 9780754617440 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Predictions about the success of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) are pessimistic. It has now become commonplace to bemoan the scope, ambition, and deeply political nature of a convention that addresses issues ranging from ecosystems protection to the exploitation of genetic resources, from conservation to justice, and from commerce to scientific knowledge. Ten years after its adoption, how can we assess the difference that the CBD has made? Is it in danger of collapsing under its own weight or is it building the foundations of new patterns of relations between societies and...

Institutional Economics and Fisheries Management: The Case of Pacific Tuna
ISBN: 9781843767824 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Petersen argues that economists and other social scientists are increasingly focusing their attention towards institutions (defined as humanly-devised rules) as critical determinants of economic, social and political growth and development. Institutions responsible for the governance of fishery resources have experienced dramatic reforms over the last few decades, stimulated by increased competition for access and exploitation of resources, leading to emerging scarcity of these very resources. This book aims to contribute to the biological and economic sustainability of fish...
