Urban Biodiversity and Design
With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity. This is also Part of our Conservation Science and Practice book series (with Zoological Society of London).
Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America
This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.
Triathlon der Angst
Luise und Jan haben zufällig dasselbe Urlaubsziel. Beide wollen in einen Aktivurlaub starten. Während Jan am ersten Urlaubstag mit dem Joggen beginnt, besucht Luise eine Sauna. Plötzlich ist die Tür verschlossen. Luise schreit vergeblich um Hilfe. Sie verliert das Bewusstsein und erwacht erst im Krankenhaus. Jan kümmert sich rührend um sie. Schon bald entwickelt sich mehr als eine Urlaubsfreundschaft. Als sie zusammen das Krankenhaus verlassen, werden sie von mehreren Motorradfahrern beobachtet und bedroht. Doch warum werden die beiden verfolgt? Warum trachtet man ihr sogar nach dem Leben? Eine halsbrecherische Jagd durch die schönen Landschaften von Vorpommern und der Insel Rügen beginnt. Kann die Zuflucht auf einer Fähre beide vor den Rockern retten oder ist das eine Falle? Triathlon der Angst hält den Leser von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite in Atem.
Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation in Practice
This book is a compilation of recent developments in the field of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and climate change adaption (Eco-DRR/CCA) globally. It provides further evidence that ecosystem-based approaches make economic sense, and showcases how research has progressively filled knowledge gaps about translating this concept into practice. It presents a number of methods, and tools that illustrate how Eco-DRR/CCA has been applied for various ecosystems and hazard contexts around the world. It also discusses how innovative institutional arrangements and policies are shaping the field of Eco-DRR/CCA. The book is of relevance to scientists, practitioners, policy-makers and students in the field of ecosystem management for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
