Technology, Engineering & AgricultureMarch 2019The Ecology and Silviculture of Oaks
by Paul S Johnson, Stephen R Shifley, Robert Rogers, Daniel C. Dey, John M Kabrick
This new, updated 3rd edition of The Ecology and Silviculture of Oaks examines the new challenges in sustaining oak forest ecosystems in a changing world. It is essential reading for forest ecologists, silviculturists, environmentalists and wildlife managers Oak forests are the result of extensive and frequently occurring disturbances that have occurred over hundreds of years such as exploitative timber harvesting, land clearing for agriculture, recurrent burning, and free-range livestock grazing. These disturbances, perhaps counterintuitively, have created conditions favorable for sustaining oaks. But today, as those disturbances have largely disappeared and as oak forests have matured, a new problem has arisen: the widespread failure of oaks to regenerate. Oak regeneration failures and other ecological issues have become increasingly problematic under the social and economic constraints of contemporary forest management. Moreover, emerging forces such as climate change now threaten to further alter the ecological dynamics of oak forests in unpredictable ways. · - Comprehensive text which examines the many problems associated with sustaining oak forests in a changing world · - Emphasizes a view of oak forests as responsive ecosystems · - Essential reading for forest ecologists, silviculturists, environmentalists and wildlife managers

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017From Jack Tar to Union Jack
Representing naval manhood in the British Empire, 1870–1918
by Andrew Thompson, Mary A. Conley, John M. MacKenzie
Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.

July 2019Das Buch der Täuschungen
by E. M. Cioran, Ferdinand Leopold
Das Buch der Täuschungen (Bukarest 1936) ist Ciorans erste und endgültige Abrechnung mit dem allgegenwärtigen Wahn, der das Dasein, ja das Sein überhaupt ermöglicht, eine Entblößung des von Trug und Trauer, Leid und Reue verschütteten, vergifteten, verstümmelten reinen Lebens, des Lebens an sich, des Lebens zur Transzendenz. Zugleich ist es ein Buch der Musik, Ciorans erstes musikalisches, musiktrunkenes Werk, das nicht zufällig mit einer musikalischen Ekstase beginnt. Musik sieht Cioran als ein besonders geeignetes Mittel zur Aufsprengung der Fesseln der Individuation an, als ein Medium, in dem das Leben kräftig und zerreißend aufscheint.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Conflict, Politics and Proselytism
Methodist missionaries in colonial and postcolonial Burma, 1887–1966
by Andrew Thompson, Michael D. Leigh, John M. MacKenzie
This book is a study of the ambitions, activities and achievements of Methodist missionaries in northern Burma from 1887-1966 and the expulsion of the last missionaries by Ne Win. The story is told through painstaking original research in archives which contain thousands of hitherto unpublished documents and eyewitness accounts meticulously recorded by the Methodist missionaries. This accessible study constitutes a significant contribution to a very little-known area of missionary history. Leigh pulls together the themes of conflict, politics and proselytisation in to a fascinating study of great breadth. The historical nuances of the relationship between religion and governance in Burma are traced in an accessible style. This book will appeal to those teaching or studying colonial and postcolonial history, Burmese politics, and the history of missionary work.

March 1996Leidenschaftlicher Leitfaden
by E. M. Cioran, Ferdinand Leopold, Ferdinand Leopold
Der »Leidenschaftliche Leitfaden«, 1940 bis 1944 in Paris entstanden, umfaßt zwei handgeschriebene Oktavhefte mit siebzig fortlaufend numerierten Abschnitten, die trotz aller aphoristischer Sprunghaftigkeit festgefügt und geschlossen wirken. Diese allerletzte rumänische Schrift Ciorans ist sein Abschiedsgesang auf die rumänische Sprache. Es handelt sich um ein an bekenntnishaftem Pathos kaum zu überbietendes Werk, das die jugendliche Schaffensperiode vor dem Hintergrund völliger Vereinsamung und Verunsicherung in Paris zusammenfaßt und verschärft. In keinem seiner Jugendwerke bekennt Cioran sich so besessen zur eigenen Abgeschiedenheit und Weltferne, in keinem schlägt er unerbittlichere Saiten an.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyDecember 2000Evaluating Indirect Ecological Effects of Biological Control
by Edited by Eric Wajnberg, John K Scott, Paul C Quimby
A major concern for biological control has always been the risk of indirect unwanted effects on the ecology of other organisms. Our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying these effects has until now been limited and experimental methods sometimes lacking. This book presents the key papers from of the first International Organisation for Biological Control global symposium, held in Montpellier, France, in October 1999. It addresses the issues and concerns involved in biological control, and assesses the current status of evaluation of the ecological effects.

Forestry & silviculture: practice & techniquesDecember 2000Forests and Landscapes
Linking Ecology, Sustainability and Aesthetics
by Edited by Eric Wajnberg, John K Scott, Paul C Quimby
Forests are an important component in the visual appeal of landscapes. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of this subject among foresters and environmental scientists. Increasingly, forest resource managers must consider both the aesthetic consequences of timber harvesting operations and management plans and public perceptions of the sustainability of forest eco-system management.Written by world class authorities this book is the first to address this subject area. It consists of 17 chapters and is divided into six parts. The interdisciplinary nature of the book brings together not only foresters and ecologists, but also landscape architects, psychologists and philosophers. Contributors are leading research workers in their subjects, from Canada, the USA and UK.

Rural planningJuly 2007Decentralization and the Social Economics of Development
Lessons from Kenya
by Edited by Christopher B Barrett, Andrew G Mude, John M Omiti
There has been broad agreement in recent years that decentralization is key in achieving democracy at local level. Examining the successes, failures, possibilities and limitations of efforts across rural Kenya, this book analyses the socioeconomic and institutional prerequisites for successful decentralization, and the role of community groups and producer organizations in reducing poverty and promoting empowerment.Original empirical studies explore the fundamental elements of coherent, inclusive and ultimately effective decentralization, and how these can be applied to efforts across the African continent and beyond.

Veterinary medicine: large animals (domestic / farm)April 2008Mathematical Modelling in Animal Nutrition
by Edited by James (Jim) France, Ermias Kebreab, A T G Elzebroek, K Wind.
Mathematical modelling is increasingly applicable to the practical sciences. Here, mathematical approaches are applied to the study of mechanisms of digestion and metabolism in primary animal species. Farmed animals - ruminants, pigs, poultry and fish are comprehensively covered, as well as sections on companion animals. Common themes between species, such as energy and amino acid metabolism, are explored with a worldwide approach. Leading researchers from around the world have contributed to France and Kebreab's volume to provide an integrated approach to mathematical modelling in animal nutrition.
