The Carnivore Way: Coexisting with and Conserving North America's Predators
ISBN: 9781597269834 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What would it be like to live in a world with no predators roaming our landscapes? Would their elimination, which humans have sought with ever greater urgency in recent times, bring about a pastoral, peaceful human civilization? Or in fact is their existence critical to our own, and do we need to be doing more to assure their health and the health of the landscapes they need to thrive?
In The Carnivore Way, Cristina Eisenberg argues compellingly for the necessity of top predators in large, undisturbed landscapes, and how a continental-long corridor carnivore way provides the room...

Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change
ISBN: 9781138645332 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, the risks associated with global environmental change and the dangers of extreme climatic and geological events remind us of humanity s dependence on favourable environmental conditions. Our relationships with the landscapes and ecologies that we are a part of, the plants and animals that we share them with, and the natural resources that we extract, lie at the heart of contemporary social and political debates. It is no longer possible to understand key social scientific concerns without at the same time also understanding contemporary patterns of ecosystem change. The...

Non-native Species and Their Role in the Environment: The Need for a Broader Perspective
ISBN: 9789004172661 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The young field of invasion biology - initially a branch of ecology and conservation biology - has greatly expanded, particularly in the last two and a half decades or so. As a result, the potential negative effects of introduced species have been widely advertised and sometimes, perhaps, overemphasized. This book attempts to restore some balance to the current debate over the role of non-native species, by offering a broader perspective, and taking a longer term, evolutionary look at these species and their impact in their new environments. The relatively arbitrary nature of terms such as...

Ecological Restoration and Power at Niagara Falls
ISBN: 9781530017737 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This historical study examines the early administrations of the Niagara Reservation, particularly in regard to the influence of hydroelectric power production on the original aim of recreating the primeval scenery at Niagara Falls. It is an object lesson for all attempts at ecological restoration in the face of concerted development. The drama of Andrew Haswell Green's efforts to protect the cataracts ends disastrously.

The Tropical Deciduous Forest of Alamos: Biodiversity of a Threatened Ecosystem in Mexico
ISBN: 9780816534166 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Only a day's drive south of the U.S.-Mexico border, a tropical deciduous forest opens up a world of exotic trees and birds that most people associate with tropical forests of more southerly latitudes. Like many such forests around the world, this diverse ecosystem is highly threatened, especially by large-scale agricultural interests that are razing it in order to plant grass for cattle. This book introduces the tropical deciduous forest of the Alamos region of Sonora, describing its biodiversity and the current threats to its existence. The book's contributors present the...

Molecular and genomic approaches to the study of soil biodiversity
ISBN: 9781536826548 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book shows that microbial diversity and the environment are continuums of interrelated concepts where the emergence of novel entities and relationships are defined by selection and adaptation at the molecular level. The potency of molecular creativity is embedded in the structure and function of nucleic acids, but protein molecules that have the capacity to sense and respond to environmental change and ecological stimuli mediate its actualization. In turn, fatty acids and other structural molecules accomplish the ecological sustainable strategies for organism survival and competition....
