Conservation by Proxy: Indicator, Umbrella, Keystone, Flagship, and Other Surrogate Species
ISBN: 9781597261937 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Synthesizing an immense body of literature, conservation biologist and field researcher Tim Caro offers systematic definitions of surrogate species concepts, explores biological theories that underlie...

Biofuels: Production, Application and Development
ISBN: 9781845935924 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Providing the world's growing population with its increasing demands for energy is a major challenge for science, business and society alike. Energy can be generated from many sources, but not all sources are suitable for every application. Much of today's technology has been built on solid, liquid and gaseous fuels derived from fossil sources. However, the supply of these is finite and their combustion produces carbon dioxide, one of the gases responsible for global warming. Therefore, alternative sources of energy are required which are renewable, sustainable and carbon neutral. Providing the world's growing population with its increasing demands for energy is a major challenge for science, business and society alike. Energy c...

Hyenas are almost universally regarded as nasty, scheming charlatans that skulk in the back alleyways of the animal kingdom.

Here to restore the Hyena's reputation is Mikita Brottman, who offers an alternate view of these mistreated and misunderstood creatures and proves that they are complex, intelligent, and highly sociable animals. Investigating representations of the hyena throughout history, Brottman divulges that the hyena, though shrouded in taboo, has been the source of...Hyenas are almost universally regarded as nasty, scheming charlatans that skulk in the back alleyways of the animal kingdom.
