Описание: The impacts of climate change on human societies, and the roles those societies themselves play in altering their environments, appear in headlines more and more as concern over modern global climate change intensifies. Increasingly, archaeologists and paleoenvironmental scientists are looking to evidence from the human past to shed light on the

Описание: This book provides an overview of the tropical marine environments of Brazil and a multi-disciplinary assessment of the impact of ongoing climate change in these environments. These changes will affect physical, biological and biogeochemical characteristics of coastal zones and oceans, modifying their ecological structure, their functions and the various services provided to humans and have the potential of causing severe socioeconomic impacts in local (coastal zone), regional (continental shelf and shallow seas) and global (ocean) scales. The Tropical Brazil presents a unique opportunity to evaluate how spatial and temporal heterogeneity influences the response and resilience of marine environments to climate changes. This region comprises the main reef constructions of the Western South Atlantic Ocean, the majority of the Brazilian deltas, one of the longest mangrove areas of the world, a very narrow and shallow continental shelf, extreme variations in sediment and nutrient flows, as well as undeniable importance in transferring heat and mass between hemispheres.

Climate hazards are the world's most widespread, deadliest and costliest natural disasters. Knowledge of climate hazard dynamics is critical since the impacts of climate change, population growth, development projects and migration affect both the impact and severity of disasters. Current global events highlight how hazards can lead to significant financial losses, increased mortality rates and political instability.
This book examines climate hazard crises in contemporary Asia, identifying how hazards from the Middle East through South and Central Asia and China have the power to reshape our globalised world. In an era of changing climates, knowledge of hazard dynamics is essential to mitigating disasters and strengthening livelihoods and societies across Asia. By integrating human exposure to climate factors and disaster episodes, the book explores the environmental forces that drive disasters and their social implications. Focusing on a range of Asian countries, landscapes and themes, the chapters address several scales (province, national, regional), different hazards (drought, flood, temperature, storms, dust), environments (desert, temperate, mountain, coastal) and issues (vulnerability, development, management, politics) to present a diverse, comprehensive evaluation of climate hazards in Asia. This book offers an understanding of the challenges climate hazards present, their critical nature and the effort needed to mitigate climate hazards in 21st-century Asia.
Climate Hazard Crises in Asian Societies and Environments is vital reading for those interested and engaged in Asia's development and well-being today and will be of interest to those working in Geography, Development Studies, Environmental Sciences, Sociology and Political Science.

Описание: Das Taschenbuch, das jeder lesen muss, der etwas ueber Scrum wissen moechte.Es umfasst alle Rollen, Regeln und die grundlegenden Prinzipien von Scrum, basierend auf dem Scrum Guide von 2016. Durch die Beschreibung der Vergangenheit und Zukunft von Scrum wird darueber hinaus ein weitergehender Kontext aufgespannt.Der Autor Gunther Verheyen hat eine praezise, vollstaendige und leidenschaftliche Referenz zu Scrum geschrieben. Dabei vermittelt das Buch seine Einschaetzung von Scrum als Weg der Entdeckungen und Freude. Durch seinen Aufbau eignet es sich als hilfreicher Wegweiser auf diesem Weg.Nach Aussage von Ken Schwaber, dem Mitgestalter von Scrum, ist dieses Buch momentan die beste Beschreibung von Scrum. Das Buch verbindet einige seltene Merkmale:¢ Es beschreibt Scrum als Ganzes, bettet es aber in den weiteren Kontext aus Vergangenheit und Zukunft ein.¢ Der Autor fokussiert darauf, Scrum auf eine Weise zu erklaeren, die den Leser unterstuetzt: Die Sprache und der Stil des Buchs entsprechen der Philosophie von Scrum.¢ Das Buch zeigt die Freude am Scrum-Spiel.David Starr und Ralph Jocham, Professional Scrum Trainer und langjaehrige Experten agiler Arbeitsweisen, halten es fuer das ultimative Buch, das sie den Teilnehmern ihrer Scrum Kurse, aber auch Teams und Fuehrungskraeften in den Organisationen, die sie im Umgang mit Scrum coachen, empfehlen.
Drought. Wildfire. Extreme flooding. How does climate change affect the daily work of scientists? Ecological restoration is often premised on the idea of returning a region to an earlier, healthier state. Yet the effects of climate change undercut that premise and challenge the ways scientists can work, destabilizing the idea of “normalcy” and revealing the politics that shape what scientists can do. How can the practice of ecological restoration shift to anticipate an increasingly dynamic future? And how does a scientific field itself adapt to climate change?
Restoration efforts in the Columbia River Basin—a vast and diverse landscape experiencing warming waters, less snowpack, and greater fluctuations in precipitation—may offer answers to some of these questions. Shana Hirsch tells the story of restoration science in the basin, surveying its past and detailing the work of today’s salmon habitat restoration efforts. Her analysis offers critical insight into scientific practices, emerging approaches and ways of thinking, the incorporation of future climate change scenarios into planning, and the ultimate transformation—or adaptation—of the science of ecological restoration. For scientists and environmental managers around the globe, Anticipating Future Environments will shed light on how to more effectively cope with climate change.
