"Sastra adalah cermin zaman, yang tidak hanya mencatat, tetapi juga membentuk jalan sejarah sebuah bangsa." Buku Sejarah Sastra Indonesia ini mengajak pembaca untuk menyelami perjalanan panjang sastra Indonesia dari masa ke masa, yang mencerminkan dinamika sosial, budaya, dan politik bangsa. Dimulai dengan pembahasan mengenai pengertian dan definisi sastra, buku ini mengupas pula peran tradisi lisan dan mitologi sebagai akar utama bagi lahirnya karya sastra Indonesia. Tradisi lisan, yang penuh dengan cerita rakyat dan mitos, merupakan media penting yang menyampaikan nilai-nilai budaya yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Buku ini juga membahas pengaruh sastra pada masa kolonial awal (abad 17 19), ke...
Tropical peatlands are found mostly in South East Asia, but also in Africa and in Central and South America. They and peat-swamp forests store large amounts of carbon and their destruction, particularly through the development of plantations for oil palm and other forms of agriculture, releases large quantities of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change. They are also complex and vulnerable ecosystems, home to great biodiversity and a number of endangered species such as the orang utan.The aim of this book is to introduce this little known but important and vulnerable ecosystem in a way that explains its long standing interaction with the global carbon cycle and how it is being d...

The GCBME Book Series aims to promote the quality and methodical reach of the Global Conference on Business Management & Entrepreneurship, which is intended as a high-quality scientific contribution to the science of business management and entrepreneurship. The Contributions are the main reference articles on the topic of each book and have been subject to a strict peer review process conducted by experts in the fields. The conference provided opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and implementation of experiences, to establish business or research connections and to find Global Partners for future collaboration. The conference and resulting volume in the book series is expe...

Coastal mangrove forests are known as one of the most productive ecosystems and efficient carbon (C) sinks on the planet. Mangroves store a substantial amount of organic C in below-ground sediment, which is known as “blue carbon (C)”. As anthropogenic factors have caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and sea levels to increase, mangrove blue C has become a part of global climate change negotiations due to its potential for storing C and mitigating GHG emissions. However, these coastal forests are also currently under threat from major land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC) for aquaculture and agriculture, resulting in large amounts of deforested and degraded mangrove areas globally. Little is known about the range of impacts different LULCC have upon mangrove C dynamics (e.g. C storage, emission and sequestration). This systematic review protocol outlines the methodology to identify and quantify the impacts of LULCC upon the C dynamics of global mangrove forests. The forthcoming review will assess the magnitude of LULCC on natural and impacted mangroves and identify where research gaps remain on mangrove C dynamics
Dictionary of terms used in food literature, including new and obsolete terms, and technical terms from other disciplines that relate to nutrition and food technology. Strong in food chemistry and preservatives.
Caused in part by the slash-and-burn practices of both large- and small-scale farmers, the environmental implications of tropical deforestation remain a worldwide concern. Yet the small-scale farmers who use slash-and-burn agriculture depend on it to produce food and make a living for their families. With contributions from scientists, economists, ecologists, and anthropologists, this book provides an overall analysis of the environmental, economic, and social reasons for why slash and burn is so common and presents alternatives to this destructive practice.
