This book places lion conservation and the relationship between people and lions both in historical context and in the context of the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa. The killing of Cecil the Lion in July 2015 brought such issues to the public’s attention. Were lions threatened in the wild and what was the best form of conservation? How best can lions be saved from extinction in the wild in Africa amid rural poverty, precarious livelihoods for local communities and an expanding human population? This book traces man’s relationship with lions through history, from hominids, to the Romans, through colonial occupation and independence, to the present day. It concludes with a...

"On April 15, 1874, the exhibition organized by the "Societe Anonyme des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs et Lithographes" opened its doors in Paris. Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Cezanne, Pissarro, and Sisley were among the participants. They painted real life as they perceived it--Parisian women dressed in the latest fashions, the capital city bustling with life, and colorful rural landscapes. This new style of painting was dubbed "impressionist." This publication takes a fresh look at a now-legendary exhibition, long seen as the starting point for avant-garde movements that followed. The volume positions it in the context of its time, considering France's defeat by the Prussians and the upheaval of the Commune in 1871, the reconstruction of Paris, and the domination of the official Salon over the art world. Written by French and American experts in the field, this richly illustrated book delves into the ways in which, 150 years ago, artists asserted their independence and changed the course of history." --
Ganzen foerageren vaak in landbouwgebieden, maar broeden en rusten in natuurgebieden en kunnen zodoende verantwoordelijk zijn voor een aanzienlijke herverdeling en concentratie van stikstof in die natuurgebieden. Hier onderzoeken we de bijdrage van ganzen aan de stikstofbelasting van stikstofgevoelige gebieden in Utrecht. We bepalen wat de stikstof-input in stikstofgevoelige natuurgebieden is van ganzen in de provincie Utrecht, door uit te gaan van kennis over aantallen ganzen die gemiddeld (op jaarbasis) verblijven in de provincie, om vervolgens een op modelberekeningen gebaseerde schatting te maken van de totale stikstofuitscheiding door die ganzen. Na foerageren verplaatsen de ganzen stik...
