Описание: Sara Agnes Rice Pryor (1830-1912) was an American writer and community activist in New York City. She was born in Virginia and moved North after the American Civil War with her husband and family to rebuild their life. Her husband was a former politician and Confederate general who set up a law firm in New York, and the couple became prominent among a number of influential southerners in the North. In addition to her civic duties, which included setting up a home for women and children in need, she became a productive writer. She used the journals she had kept before and during the war as the basis for her two memoirs published in the early 1900s. First published in 1904, this work is reprinted from the revised and enlarged edition of 1908. Illustrated with photographs.

Описание: The research presented in this volume focuses on identifying and quantifying the major vulnerabilities to climate change in the Midwestern United States. By providing state-of-the-art spatially disaggregated information regarding the historical, current, and possible future climate within the region, the contributors assess the risks and susceptibility of the critical socio-economic and environmental systems. Key sectors discussed are agriculture, human health, water, energy and infrastructure, and the vulnerabilities that may be amplified under current climate trajectories. The book also considers the challenges and opportunities to develop local and regional strategies for addressing the risks posed by climate change in the context of developing an integrative policy for the region.
