Forests at the Land–Atmosphere Interface
by Edited by Maurizio Mencuccini, John Grace, J Moncrieff, K McNaughton
Forest ecosystems exist at the interface between the land and the atmosphere. Understanding the properties of this planetary boundary layer is very important for a number of related disciplines. This book presents an overview of topics that are of significance at this interface, starting at the scale of intra-leaf organelles, ranging to higher levels of organisation such as communities and ecosystems. It covers topics such as stomatal functioning, large scale processes, radiation modelling, forest meteorology and carbon sequestration. Based on proceedings of a conference to mark the retirement of Professor Paul Jarvis from the University of Edinburgh, the book contains contributions from leading international scientists. It will be of significant interest to researchers in forestry, ecology, environmental sciences and natural resources.

Anti-terrorism, citizenship and security
by Lee Jarvis, Michael Lister
This book explores how different publics make sense of and evaluate anti-terrorism powers within the UK, and the implications of this for citizenship and security. Drawing on primary empirical research, the book argues that whilst white individuals are not unconcerned about the effects of anti-terrorism, ethnic minority citizens (including, but not only those identifying as Muslim) believe that anti-terrorism powers have impacted negatively on their citizenship and security. This book thus offers the first systematic engagement with 'vernacular' or 'everyday' understandings of anti-terrorism policy, citizenship and security. It argues that while transformations in anti-terrorism frameworks impact on public experiences of security and citizenship, they do not do so in a uniform, homogeneous, or predictable manner. At the same time, public understandings and expectations of security and citizenship themselves shape how developments in anti-terrorism frameworks are discussed and evaluated. This important new book will be of interest to researchers and students working in a wide range of disciplines including Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies and Sociology.

Mein Onkel und ich
Roman
by Petri Tamminen, Stefan Moster
Während die Welt am Fernseher die Hochzeit von Lady Di und Prinz Charles verfolgt, sind Jussi und sein Onkel Olli unterwegs, um einen auch für finnische Verhältnisse ungewöhnlichen Einkauf zu erledigen: Der im Sterben liegende Großvater will seinen Sarg sehen. Jussi ist schüchtern und harmoniebedürftig, sein Onkel ein vitaler Draufgänger, ein Held – die Welt ist noch in Ordnung. Dreizehn Jahre später, Jussi wohnt inzwischen mit Frau und Sohn in der Stadt, sieht das schon anders aus: Im Verlauf eines als Angelurlaub geplanten Wochenendes wird er mit den Leidenschaften seines Onkels konfrontiert (Alkohol, die falschen Freunde und Frauen) – und muß sich ganz gegen seine Natur selbst als Held beweisen. Er ruft den Notarzt, nachdem das Gelage entgleist ist. Das Bild des Onkels bröckelt, die Männerfreundschaft nicht. 2005: Bei Prinz Charles hält mit Camilla ein ernüchterter Pragmatismus Einzug, und Jussi, 39, frisch geschieden, fährt zur Beerdigung seines vereinsamt heruntergekommenen Onkels. Er selbst hat es auch nicht weit gebracht, verläßliche Vorbilder sind rar. Petri Tamminen zeigt nach Der Eros des Nordens und Verstecke wieder einmal charmant finnisch: Womöglich haben es Männer nicht leicht.
