Beach Management Tools - Concepts, Methodologies and Case Studies
This book provides an overview of beach management tools, including carrying capacity, beach nourishment, environmental and tourism awards (like Blue Flag or others), bathing water quality, zoning, beach typologies, quality index, user's perception, interdisciplinary beach monitoring, coastal legislation, shore protection, social and economic indicators, ecosystem services, and coastal governance (applied in beach case studies). Beaches are one of the most intensely used coastal ecosystems and are responsible for more than half of all global tourism revenues, and as such the book introduces a wide range of state-of-the-art tools that can be used to deal with a variety of beach challenges. Each chapter features specific types of tools that can be applied to advantage in beach management practices. With examples of local and regional case studies from around the globe, this is a valuable resource for anyone involved in beach management.
Ecos modernos. Fuentes geohistóricas de los siglos XIX y XX
Esta obra transita por la contemporaneidad para mostrarnos la transformación de las fuentes geohistóricas y catastrales a nivel nacional e internacional. Dicha documentación adquiere cada vez más importancia en el ámbito científico dado su potencial y versatilidad, pues afecta directamente a la configuración de los espacios, su comprensión y evolución histórica desde dinámicas sociales, económicas y geopolíticas. Los estudios aquí reunidos abarcan una gran variedad de usos con dichas fuentes geohistóricas, centrándose en aspectos como: la despoblación, el análisis medioambiental y las transformaciones en los usos del suelo, la evolución de la propiedad agraria, la defensa de los territorios, los cambios socioeconómicos de espacios complejos, la evolución de los espacios urbanos, la conformación, estructura y catalogación de los volúmenes documentales, las nuevas funciones turísticas y su impacto en los valores catastrales. Por ello, esta obra supone un punto de inflexión y abre una nueva ventana a la innovación y el conocimiento en el campo de las fuentes geohistóricas y sus aplicaciones a nivel nacional e internacional.
Capacitat de càrrega i gestió adaptativa per a la preservació dels ecosistemes marins i costaners
Investigadors i tècnics especialitzats presenten els conceptes de capacitat de càrrega de l’ecosistema, enfocament ecosistèmic, gestió adaptativa, cogovernança, i defineixen les directrius per a una protecció harmonitzada i efectiva, i uns usos sostenibles dels ecosistemes marins costaners. La Taula de Cogestió Marítima del Litoral del Baix Empordà promou que en el seu entorn marítim i costaner de ric patrimoni natural, sòcio-econòmicament molt dinàmic, i també molt sensible a causa del canvi climàtic, s’apliquin estratègies de gestió adaptativa, consensuades per tots els agents implicats, tot ajustant les activitats i les pressions sobre els ecosistemes amb la finalitat de preservar el bon estat ecològic dels hàbitats i les espècies.
Natura, ús o abús? (2018-2019) : Ús i abús de la natura, impactes i propostes de gestió. El cas de Catalunya cap a paradigma
Natura, ús o abús? Llibre blanc de la gestió de la natura als Països Catalans es va publicar l’any 1976, un any abans del restabliment provisional de la Generalitat de Catalunya i tres abans de l’aprovació de l’Estatut d’Autonomia de Catalunya. La comunitat científica va estar a l’altura del moment i, amb aquesta publicació, oferia a les noves institucions una completa guia per avançar en un dels principals reptes que tenia el país, el seu redreçament ambiental i, per extensió, contribuïa a recuperar la seva identitat i a posar les bases per avançar cap al nou país al qual la societat aspirava. Una segona edició publicada dotze anys després constatava que no s’hav...

The Spanish Coastal Systems
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Ecology of Sandy Shores
The Ecology of Sandy Shores provides the students and researchers with a one-volume resource for understanding the conservation and management of the sandy shore ecosystem. Covering all beach types, and addressing issues from the behavioral and physiological adaptations of the biota to exploring the effects of pollution and the impact of man's activities, this book should become the standard reference for those interested in Sandy Shore study, management and preservation. - More than 25% expanded from the previous edition - Three entirely new chapters: Energetics and Nutrient Cycling, Turtles and Terrestrial Vertebrates, and Benthic Macrofauna Populations - New sections on the interstitial environment, seagrasses, human impacts and coastal zone management - Examples drawn from virtually all parts of the world, considering all beach types from the most exposed to the most sheltered
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
