Scaling Biodiversity
ISBN: 9780521699372 / Angielski / Miękka / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: 25 dni roboczych We know that there are tens of millions of plant and animal species, but we do not know enough to be able to describe the patterns and processes that characterise the distribution of species in space, time and taxonomic groups. Given that in practical terms it is impossible to expect to be able to document biodiversity with any degree of completeness other approaches must be used. Scaling rules offer one possible framework, and this book offers a synthesis of the ways in which scaling theory can be applied to the analysis of biodiversity. Scaling Biodiversity presents new views on...

Biodiversity and Human Livelihoods in Protected Areas
ISBN: 9780521870214 / Angielski / Twarda / 478 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book was published in 2007. Protected areas have emerged as major arenas of dispute concerning both indigenous and environmental protection. In the Malay Archipelago, which contains two of the twenty-five biodiversity hotspots identified globally, rampant commercial exploitation is jeopardizing species and rural livelihoods. While protected areas remain the only hope for the imperiled biota of the Malay Archipelago, this protection requires consideration of the sustenance needs and economic aspirations of the local people. Putting forward the views of all the stakeholders of protected...

Biodiversity Under Threat
ISBN: 9780854042517 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is much public concern about threats to global biodiversity. The most direct association with chemistry is through pollution being identified as a cause; another is climate change, resulting from build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Changing agricultural practices, including the use of herbicides and pesticides, also impact on biodiversity. This new book addresses these concerns by detailing some of the research currently in progress.

Understanding Global Sexualities New Frontiers
ISBN: 9780415523028 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Over the course of the past thirty years, there has been an explosion of work on sexuality, both conceptually and methodologically. From a relatively limited, specialist field, the study of sexuality has expanded across a wide range of social sciences. Yet as the field has grown, it has become apparent that a number of leading edge critical issues remain. This theory-building book explores some of the areas in which there is major and continuing debate, for example, about the relationship between sexuality and gender; about the nature and status of heterosexuality; about hetero- and...

Biology of Alpine Habitats
ISBN: 9780198567042 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is unique in providing a global overview of alpine (high mountain) habitats that occur above the natural (cold-limited) tree line, describing the factors that have shaped them over both ecological and evolutionary timescales. The broad geographic coverage helps synthesize common features whilst revealing differences in the world's major alpine systems from the Arctic to the Tropics. The words "barren" and "wasteland" have often been applied to describe landscapes beyond the tree line. However, a closer look reveals a large diversity of habitats, assemblages and individual taxa in...

What Is Biodiversity?
ISBN: 9780226500812 / Angielski / Miękka / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. In the life sciences, there is wide-ranging debate about biodiversity. While nearly everyone is in favor of biodiversity and its conservation, methods for its assessment vary enormously. So what exactly is biodiversity? Most theoretical work on the subject assumes it has something to do with species richness with the number of species in a particular region but in reality, it is much more than that. Arguing that we cannot make rational decisions about what it is to be protected without knowing what biodiversity is, James Maclaurin and Kim Sterelny offer in "What Is Biodiversity?" a...

ISBN: 9780300141085 / Angielski / Twarda / 728 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. Hawaii's forest bird community is the most insular and most endangered in the world and serves as a case study for threatened species globally. Ten have disappeared in the past thirty years, nine are critically endangered, and even common species are currently in decline. Thane K. Pratt, his coeditors, and collaborators, all leaders in their field, describe the research and conservation efforts over the past thirty years to save Hawaii's forest birds. They also offer the most comprehensive look at the reasons for these extinctions and attempts to overcome them in the future. ...
