This book covers studies on the systematics of plant taxa and will include general vegetational aspects and ecological characteristics of plant life at altitudes above 1000 m. from different parts of the world. This volume also addresses how upcoming climate change scenarios will impact high altitude plant life. It presents case studies from the most important mountainous areas like the Himalayas, Caucasus and South America covering the countries like Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Kirghizia, Georgia, Russia,Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Americas. The book will serve as an invaluable resource source undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers.
... Felsefe (düşüngü) işine girmiyoruz, yeni düşün adamları çıkmıyor, tartışmayı öğrenemiyoruz. Konuşmayı bile, 'He ya He ya' diye götürüyoruz. Önden düşünce gelişmeyince, 'O şunu der,' diyeceğimiz iyi önderler yetişmiyor. Dorukları ele geçirenler çıkar ilişkilerini iyi kullanan uyanıklar oluyor. Düşünce atışmasında yenik düşmemek için ikircikli düşüngüyü-felsefeyi kaldırıyorlar. Oluşan sürüye çobanlık ediliyor, bu sürü ile de bir yere varılamıyor. Sah olmayan yalvaç ne sabı bekler ne sabahı; ya kullanır öldürür ya öldürür kullanır. Boşuna mı diri diri gömülen çocuklar, boşuna mı beklenir bahadır getiren sabahla...
The Free Worlds League (FWL) field manual provides an extensive survey of House Marik's Free Worlds League, one of the major Inner Sphere military powers. The manual includes a full military history of the rebellion-riddled confederation, from the Succession Wars to the Andurien Civil War and beyond, and profiles of every League regiment, including the elite Marik Guard and the chivalrous Knights of the Inner Sphere. Also included are color renderings of FWL uniforms and insignia and special rules for new, exclusive League weapons and BattleMechs.
This text is an introduction to the study of towns and cities. The book synthesizes a wealth of material to provide a comprehensive introduction for students of urban geography, drawing on a rich blend of theoretical and empirical information, to advance their knowledge of the city. For the first time in the history of humankind, urban dwellers outnumber rural residents and this trend is destined to continue. Urban places, towns and cities are of fundamental importance: for the distribution of population within countries; in the organization of economic production, distribution and exchange; in the structuring of social reproduction and cultural life; and in the allocation and exercise of power. Even those living beyond the administrative or functional boundaries of a town or city, will have their lifestyle influenced to some degree by a nearby or distant city.
This book on Turkish geomorphology offers location descriptions, based on their dynamics and evolution processes, including hydrology, tectonics, volcanism, slopes, coasts, ice/snow, and wind. It presents landforms as a result of evolution (Quaternary, Holocene, historic) and in relation to the elements determining and/or impacting this evolution (vegetation, soil, hydrology, geology, climate, sea level and human action) as well as the resulting landscapes. Richly illustrated with pictures from each site, including geomorphological maps and sections, it explains the risks associated with the geomorphological dynamics (on local and global scales), natural and/or cultural heritage (archaeology, prehistory, history, architectural specifications adapted to the landscape), as well as challenges for human society (endangered landscape, protection/conservation rules/statutes, posters/paintings.).
This text has been written for a course in technology and innovation. It covers contemporary research by using a combination of text, readings, and cases. Based on reviewer response to a survey, the authors have updated many of the cases that instructors found outdated or lacking. Classic cases such as Claire McCloud have been kept, while newer cases such as Intel Corporation in 1999 have been added. There is also a strong set of readings from sources such as Harvard Business Review, California Management Review, and Sloan Management Review.
Anthropogenic geomorphology studies society’s impact on the geographical environment, and especially on the Earth’s surface. This volume provides guidance to students discussing the basic topics of anthropogenic geomorphology. The chapters cover both its system, and its connections with other sciences, as well as the way the subject can contribute to tackling today’s practical problems. The book represents all fields of geomorphology, giving an introduction to the diversity of the discipline through examples taken from a range of contexts and periods, and focusing on examples from Europe. It is no accident that anthropogenic geomorphology has been gaining ground within geomorphology itself. Its results advance not only the theoretical development of the science but can be applied directly to social and economic issues. Worldwide, anthropogenic geomorphology is an integral and expanding part of earth sciences curricula in higher education, making this a timely and relevant text.
