Agroecology, Ecosystems, and Sustainability
We hear a lot about how agriculture affects climate change and other environmental issues, but we hear little about how these issues affect agriculture. When we look at both sides of the issues, we can develop better solutions for sustainable agriculture without adversely affecting the environment. Agroecology, Ecosystems, and Sustainability explores a modern vision of ecology and agricultural systems, so that crop production can be sustainably developed without further environmental degradation. With contributions from experts from more than 20 countries, the book describes how to make the transition to modern agroecology to help the environment. It examines the global availability of natur...
Horse
Horses have been our companions in work and leisure for thousands of years. As a species we have profited immeasurably from their resilience, strength and intelligence. In The Horse, Wendy Williams travels the globe to discover the history of our noble companion, one which stretches back fifty-six million years. From the streets of Vienna to the rugged terrain of Galicia, Williams demonstrates the horse’s intelligence and strength. Blending profound scientific insights with remarkable stories, The Horse is a unique biography of the animal which has carried us across plains and into battle, and whose fascinating past and finely-nuanced mind are brought to life here in this masterful work of narrative non-fiction.

Publikace si klade za cíl shromáždit česká, moravská a slezská místní jména, jež odrážejí názvy stromů, keřů a polokeřů. Stromy a keře, zejména ty samostatně rostoucí, přitahují pozornost, a tak odnepaměti sloužily k určení polohy, směru či k orientaci v terénu. Právě místa nazvaná podle dřevin jsou v knize mapována a s nimi související lokality obcí jsou souhrnně zaneseny do veřejných online map, které nabízejí data k dalšímu použití. Zaznamenaná data je ale třeba interpretovat obezřetně, neboť vlastní jména se při užívání chovají poměrně specificky. Jejich úkolem není zprostředkovat obraz minulé ani současné krajiny, mohou však napovědět minulý a současný vztah obyvatel k ní.
Habitat Loss
Habitat loss and degradation are perceived to be one of the main factors threatening biodiversity through detrimental effects on species and populations. These processes reduce habitat availability, increase isolation and generate patchy environments, which reduces species richness, population genetic diversity, and modifies community structure. The loss of biodiversity associated with habitat alteration is particularly problematic in forest habitats, because forests are one of the most species-rich habitat types. The conservation implications have become greater with evidence that climate change may exacerbate and speed up ongoing processes. This book focuses on topics that include niche restriction and conservatism in a neotropical psittacine; consequences for distribution patterns of specialist fauna; and paths to habitat loss in European Atlantic heathlands.
Dying in the Law of Moses
Miriam Bodian's study of crypto-Jewish martyrdom in Iberian lands depicts a new type of martyr that emerged in the late 16th century -- a defiant, educated judaizing martyr who engaged in disputes with inquisitors. By examining closely the Inquisition dossiers of four men who were tried in the Iberian peninsula or Spanish America and who developed judaizing theologies that drew from currents of Reformation thinking that emphasized the authority of Scripture and the religious autonomy of individual interpreters of Scripture, Miriam Bodian reveals unexpected connections between Reformation thought and historic crypto-Judaism. The complex personalities of the martyrs, acting in response to psychic and situational pressures, emerge vividly from this absorbing book.
Testigos de la memoria
En la difusión del pensamiento y en su posibilidad de intervención, la CompañÃ-a de Jesús, desde el momento mismo de su establecimiento, conoció la importancia del libro, prestando una atención especial a la formación e información que el libro aportase. La magnitud del legado bibliográfico de sus librerÃ-as colegiales ha movido el interés por las bibliotecas contenidas en sus institutos, iniciadas con la fundación de la orden en el siglo XVI y dispersadas en su expulsión en 1767. Como eficaz instrumento para desvelar el contenido de aquellas bibliotecas, quedan los registros inventariales llevados a cabo durante los siglos del establecimiento de sus colegios en España, y, pos...
