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...

The Management of Tropical Moist Forest Lands
by Duncan Poore and Jeffrey Sayer
Here one finds descriptions of 239 native trees, 22 foreign trees--now escaped from civilization and become wild--and a list of native shrubs that occasionally reach tree size. Almost every description is illustrated with drawings showing typical leaves, flowers, and fruits. Complicated technical terms have been avoided. Originally published in 1937. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distingui...
British Shorthair Tabby Cat Journal - Praying or Clapping? You Decide.
by Cool Image
Tigers of the World, Second Edition explores tiger biology, ecology, conservation, management, and the science and technology that make this possible. In 1988, when the first edition was published, tiger conservation was still in its infancy, and two decades later there has been a revolution not only in what is known, but how information about tigers is obtained and disseminated. In the fast changing world of conservation, there is a great need to summarize the vast and current state-of-the-art,...

Unstructured Cellular Automata in Ecohydraulics Modelling (IHE Delft PhD Thesis)
by Yuqing Lin
The field of ecohydraulics integrates hydrodynamic and eco-dynamic processes. While hydrodynamic processes are usually well described by partial differential equations (PDE's) based on physical conservation principles, ecosystem dynamics often involve specific interactions at the local scale. Because of this, Cellular Automata (CA) are a viable paradigm in ecosystem modelling. All cells in a CA system update their states synchronously at discrete steps according to simple local rules. The classi...
