Instituting Nature: Authority, Expertise, and Power in Mexican Forests
ISBN: 9780262516440 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Greater knowledge and transparency are often promoted as the keys to solving a wide array of governance problems. In Instituting Nature, Andrew Mathews describes Mexico's efforts over the past hundred years to manage its forests through forestry science and biodiversity conservation. He shows that transparent knowledge was produced not by official declarations or scientists' expertise but by encounters between the relatively weak forestry bureaucracy and the indigenous people who manage and own the pine forests of Mexico. Mathews charts the performances, collusions, complicities,... Greater knowledge and transparency are often promoted as the keys to solving a wide array of governance problems.

The gestation period of these books is very short by commercial publishing standards. The writing...

Anoxia: Evidence for Eukaryote Survival and Paleontological Strategies
ISBN: 9789400718951 / Angielski / Twarda / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. ANOXIA defines the lack of free molecular oxygen in an environment. In the presence of organic matter, anaerobic prokaryotes produce compounds such as free radicals, hydrogen sulfide, or methane that are typically toxic to aerobes. The concomitance of suppressed respiration and presence of toxic substances suggests these habitats are inhospitable to Eukaryota. Ecologists sometimes term such environments 'Death Zones'. This book presents, however, a collection of remarkable adaptations to anoxia, observed in Eukaryotes such as protists, animals, plants and fungi. Case studies provide evidence...
