Ecological Economics of Sustainable Watershed Management
ISBN: 9780762314485 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Watershed management has been chosen as a concrete focus to illuminate the facets of sustainability. It requires both a... The papers in this volume illustrate the power of a scientific approach to ecological economics. Good science is a careful blend of theory and empiric...

ISBN: 9780792302797 / Angielski / Twarda / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human clustering in coastal areas The coastal zone has gained a solid reputation as a place vocated for recreational activities and this is generally related to the presence of the sea. The relationship, however, does not appear univocal or simple: the sea can be perceived as a hostile element by humans and the more general question of whether the presence of the shore is in itself a favourable, repulsive, or irrelevant factor to settlement is a debatable point, at least for pre-industrial societies. Back in the early part of the 19th century, Friedrich Hegel regarded oceans and rivers as...

Even in the absence of transnational pollution, therefore, the environmental issues involve substantial...
