River Restoration River restoration initiatives are now widespread across the world. The research efforts undertaken to support them are increasingly interdisciplinary, focusing on ecological, chemical, physical as well as societal issues. River Restoration: Political, Social, and Economic Perspectives provides a comprehensive overview of research in the field of river restoration in humanities and the social sciences. It illustrates how, in the last thirty years or so, such approaches have evolved and strengthened within the restoration sciences. The scientific community working in this domain has structured itself, often regionally and circumstantially, to critically assess and improve res...
Die Landschaften der Alpen sind wesentlich von ihren Flüssen geprägt; die menschliche Nutzung des Alpenraums ist eng mit den Herausforderungen des Umgangs mit Fließgewässern verbunden. Dieses Buch bietet eine anschauliche und umfassende Dokumentation der vielfältigen Bedeutung der Alpenflüsse aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln. Vierunddreißig Fachkapitel beschreiben Entstehung und Funktionen von Flüssen, ihren ökologischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Stellenwert in Geschichte und Gegenwart, das Ausmaß und die Folgewirkungen menschlicher Nutzungen, sowie den Abstimmungsbedarf von Schutz- und Nutzungsinteressen. Portraits von über fünfzig Flüssen bieten einen raschen Überblick und präsentieren die jeweiligen Besonderheiten. Das Buch liefert Grundlagen für Diskussionen um die Zukunft der Fließgewässer im Alpenraum. Durch die Verbindung von reicher Bebilderung, Kartendarstellungen und gut verständlichen Beschreibungen ist es ein einzigartiges Referenzwerk für natur- und umweltinteressierte Leserinnen und Leser, Fachleute und nicht zuletzt auch für Studierende und Lehrende.

Un regard critique sur la notion de biodiversité La diversité des êtres vivants est depuis fort longtemps un objet de réflexions scientifiques et philosophiques, mais le mot « biodiversité » est apparu seulement en 1986, rencontrant immédiatement un énorme succès. L’intérêt des biologistes, agronomes, écologues, etc., pour la conservation et la valorisation de la nature a été renouvelé et amplifié par l’adoption consensuelle de l’objet « biodiversité ». Il a également permis une mobilisation inédite des économistes, des gouvernements et des médias. Pourtant, ce terme s’avère fort ambigu et problématique, comme le présent ouvrage s’attache à le démontrer...
