Climate Change and World Food Security (Nato ASI Subseries I:, #37) (NATO ASI, v. 37)
In the last half decade since sustainable development became a serious objective, what have we achieved? Are livelihoods more secure? Are nations wealthier and more resilient? Is environmental quality being restored or maintained? These are essential questions of development. Their answers are many, varied between communities and regions, even between individuals. Two years ago, in the aftermath of the Earth Summit and ratification of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, but before the fi...
Forest biodiversity is crucial to the ecological, economic, and social well-being of earth’s civilisations. Unfortunately, however, forest biodiversity is threatened to a serious degree in nearly all countries. Therefore, many countries have agreed to be parties to international agreements focused on maintaining, restoring, and monitoring biodiversity; further, these countries have agreed to report to international bodies on forest biodiversity status and trends. NFIs are the primary source of l...
Die Arbeit widmet sich der Verknupfung sozialwissenschaftlicher Umweltbewusstseins- und soziologischer Lebensstilforschung in der Absicht, systematisch definitive Merkmale und charakteristische Muster eines umweltgerechten Verbraucherverhaltens bzw. von oekologischen Lebensstilen herauszuarbeiten. Im Rahmen einer Sekundaranalyse werden empirische oekologierelevante Lebensstiltypen auf einer metakategorialen Ebene einem utilitaren und einem suffizienzorientierten Lebensstilpol zugeordnet. Abschli...
Arthur Holmes's "Principles of Physical geology" is recognized as a seminal work which has influenced generations of geology students from many countries in its first three editions. But in the light of continuing new discoveries from sophisticated geophysical exploration methods, deep drilling in the oceans and on land, and satellite imagery, much of the theoretical aspects now requires substantial revision. This fourth edition returns to the three-part structure of the original book. After a p...
