Описание: This book is more than timely: no other book offers a comprehensive overview of Russia`s fears and challenges to help the American public to understand how Russian domestic policy and foreign policy interact. This in-out aspect is critical to understand the country`s international stance and therefore directly US policy and security.

Описание: This book presents the vegetation types of the African and Asian countries of the Mediterranean and Red Sea coastal regions, and discusses the ecological threats and economic applications of these critical resources. In particular, it examines the relationships between climate and vegetation, and discusses these within the context of desertification, agro-industrial applications, ecotourism and sustainable development.
Sumner, MO, pop. 102, near the Swan Lake National Wildlife Refuge, proclaims itself “The Wild Goose Capital of the World.” It even displays Maxie, the World’s largest goose: a 40-foot tall fiberglass statue with a wingspan stretching more than 60 feet. But while the 200,000 Canada geese that spent their falls and winters at Swan Lake helped generate millions of dollars for the local economy—with hunting and the annual Goose Festival—climate change, as well as environmental and land use issues, have caused the birds to disappear. The economic loss of the geese and the activities they inspired served as key building blocks in the rural identities residents had developed and treasured.
In his timely and topical book, Gone Goose, Braden Leap observes how members of this rural town adapted, reorganized, and reinvented themselves in the wake of climate change—and how they continued to cultivate respect and belonging in their community. Leap conducted interviews with residents and participated in various community events to explore how they reimagine their relationships with each other as well as their community’s relationship with the environment, even as they wish the geese would return.
Название: Handbook of climate change and biodiversity ISBN: 3319986805 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319986807 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 149060.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book comprehensively describes essential research and projects on climate change and biodiversity. Moreover, it includes contributions on how to promote the climate agenda and biodiversity conservation at the local level. Climate change as a whole and global warming in particular are known to have a negative impact on biodiversity in three main ways. Firstly, increases in temperatures are detrimental to a number of organisms, especially those in sensitive habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests. Secondly, the pressures posed by a changing climate may lead to sets of responses in areas as varied as phenology, range and physiology of living organisms, often leading to changes in their lifecycles (especially but not only in reproduction), losses in productivity or even death. In some cases, the very survival of very sensitive species may be endangered. Thirdly, the impacts of climate change on biodiversity will be felt in the short term with regard to some species and ecosystems, but also in the medium and long term in many biomes. Indeed, if left unchecked, some of these impacts may be irreversible. Many individual governments, financial institutes and international donors are currently spending billions of dollars on projects addressing climate change and biodiversity, but with little coordination. Quite often, the emphasis is on adaptation efforts, with little emphasis on the connections between physio-ecological changes and the lifecycles and metabolisms of fauna and flora, or the influence of poor governance on biodiversity. As such, there is a recognized need to not only better understand the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, but to also identify, test and implement measures aimed at managing the many risks that climate change poses to fauna, flora and micro-organisms. In particular, the question of how to restore and protect ecosystems from the impact of climate change also has to be urgently addressed. This book was written to address this need. The respective papers explore matters related to the use of an ecosystem-based approach to increase local adaptation capacity, consider the significance of a protected areas network in preserving biodiversity in a changing northern European climate, and assess the impacts of climate change on specific species, including wild terrestrial animals. The book also presents a variety of case studies such as the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, the effects of climate change on the biodiversity of Aleppo pine forest in Senalba (Algeria), climate change and biodiversity response in the Niger Delta region, and the effects of forest fires on the biodiversity and the soil characteristics of tropical peatlands in Indonesia. This is a truly interdisciplinary publication, and will benefit all scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies engaged in research and/or executing projects on climate change and biodiversity around the world.
Inside the U.S. government EPA (from 1979), scientists clearly saw climate change as a potentially horrific problem. Since 2017, U.S. tools of pollution control have been disassembled or left unused. Climate change is on the national agenda for the first time in the 2020 Presidential election. The western world sees the need to resuscitate the U.S. EPA to manage the "Green New Deal", and for the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and restore U.S. global climate leadership.
Fighting Pollution and Climate Change provides needed and timely advice to new activists in the Congress, to the youth of the Sunrise Movement, Extinction Rebellion, We Don't Have Time, Right to Zero, and to similar movements around the world and now marching into the news. Climate change is an air-pollution problem like others already successfully resolved or at least effectively addressed, many nationally and some internationally. In recent decades, new technologies have proven themselves to be effective, affordable, safe, and climate-friendly. This book displays these tools and the policies and laws needed to apply them. Starting whenever our national government regains its senses, it shouldn't be too late to save our life on planet earth.
In this genre, the interest is global, upon such a compelling topic, the content of Fighting Pollution and Climate Change is outstanding and unique because of these features:
-Authenticity--Other authors in this genre--bona fide scientists, a politician, an academic and social organizer, a philosopher, journalists, and concerned and well-meaning persons--are government outsiders and commentators. The author is not an outside observer. During more than three decades when EPA developed and applied the now well-used and trusty tools of effective pollution control, the author was part of it all. This book may be the first written by an EPA insider who, working both at home and abroad, has confronted and can tell us what both our nation and our planet are facing and what must be done.
-Scope--Broader than climate change, it is about a variety of other environmental threats that require global attention and must be approached holistically. Accordingly, this multi-disciplinary book covers science, technology, engineering, economics, history, policy, law, and governance both domestic and international. The scope increases it's intellectual appeal and usefulness in college courses in environmental studies and pre-law.
-Focus on Needed Results--The book reviews the dismal climate science and the consequences of continuing with the fossil-fuel business-as-usual. Yet the book is positive and hopeful, with emphasis on solutions, being the technologies and proven policies that EPA has available now.
-Adventures and Fun-To lighten the mood, to engage and amuse the reader, and to attract young readers to follow in a career like the author's, the book describes his adventures in public service, from the military to courtroom trials to foreign missions and living abroad.
-Personal Growth and Civic Action--Finally, the book speaks to environmental activists of all ages, especially younger people worried about (and many protesting) climate neglect as an existential crisis. Within the popular genre of "how-to-do-it" guides, the book shows the way to build lives of happy employability as full-time professional pollution fighters working to save life on our planet--finding real pleasure, even joy, and paychecks for doing this important work. At the same time, the book will engage their parents and grandparents, who will find reasons to support younger family members seeking education leading to "green" professional careers. All readers will find inspiration to make climate-friendly lifestyle changes and voting choices, and to take effective civic action.
