Rethinking Park Protection: Treading the Uncommon Ground of Environmental Beliefs
ISBN: 9781780640013 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In today's society it can be hidden beliefs that guide the management of parks, treating them as natural resources rather than national assets. These current management approaches often lead to deferred maintenance on park infrastructure, causing inadequate protection from vandalism, poaching and theft of artifacts. A sad demise, often due to an outdated belief that parks are non-essential leisure services rather than necessities for a vibrant modern life. This book will dispel the lethargy of the parks profession by challenging readers to reconsider their beliefs about parks and their...

Conserving Plant Genetic Diversity in Protected Areas
ISBN: 9781845932824 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conservation in protected areas has focused on preserving biodiversity of ecosystems and species, whereas conserving the genetic diversity contained within species has historically often been ignored. However, maintaining genetic diversity is fundamental to food security and the provision of raw materials and it is best preserved within plants' natural habitats. This is particularly true for wild plants that are directly related to crop species and can play a key role in providing beneficial traits, such as pest or disease resistance and yield improvement. These wild relatives are presently...

Pitfalls in Prescribing: And How to Avoid Them

Also, erratic compliance with drug taking by a large proportion of patients complicates and sometimes worsens iatrogenic harm. This practical guide details the most common errors made in prescribing and is ideal for day-to-day use. The clear, accessible language used throughout...

Controlling Tropical Deforestation
ISBN: 9781849710251 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tropical rain forest is being cleared so rapidly and on such a scale that it is a major global environmental problem, threatening the survival of half of the world's plant and animal species and contributing to global climate change through the greenhouse effect. But, despite widespread concern for over twenty years, only limited progress has been made in controlling deforestation and improving forest management in the humid tropics. In this book Alan Grainger offers afresh analysis of the causes of deforestation and presents an integrated strategy for controlling it.

However, as anyone who has done an...

This book explores the global connections between Chilean landscapes and Northern consumers embodied by the Forest Stewardship Council logo, the green seal of approval for certified sustainably-produced "good wood." How do we decide what makes good forestry? What knowledges and values are expressed or silenced when "good" is defined with a market mechanism like certification? Henne's ethnographic study documents the new forms of labor and the new expectations about sustainability and responsibility that certification generates, in the context of the competing ideas about how to manage a...

ISBN: 9789401041973 / Angielski / Miękka / 760 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rural areas need to fulfil a large variety of functions and to accommodate many activities.

Early Organic Evolution: Implications for Mineral and Energy Resources
ISBN: 9783642768866 / Angielski / Miękka / 555 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is the final outcome of a conference designed to wrap up IOCP Project 157 (" Early Organic Evolution and Mineral and Energy Resources ") after a decade of prolific activity.

The following pages contain the essence of the conference transactions, giv ing a...
