Urban Biodiversity and Design
With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity. This is also Part of our Conservation Science and Practice book series (with Zoological Society of London).
From Flatwork to Jumping
Techniques and exercises to get you started! Working over poles is the first stage in starting your horse to jump, as well as being the ideal way to train your horse to be obedient and supple in his flatwork. Horses will become more attentive and eager to learn. At the same time, they will be strengthening their back muscles. Schooling over poles will help both horse and rider in equal measure. This book offers practical advice to ensure that the first steps in jumping are successful ones.
Rider's AIDS
The rider’s aids are the be-all and end-all of riding. Without them, no understanding or communication with the horse is possible. The aids must be conveyed to the horse both clearly and distinctly, and yet unobtrusively as fine aids. How to learn and employ these aids is dealt with in this concise guidebook in plain, easy to understand terms, amply supported by clear illustrations.
Horse Behaviour Explained
A basic understanding of behavioral science will provide riders and horse owners with an abundance of valuable information with which to design an optimal living environment for their horses. The underlying premise is that when a horse’s living conditions reflect its natural needs, when it is permitted to be itself, not only are its well-being, health, and performance enhanced, but it is less likely to develop any vices. In this book the author introduces the reader to behavioral science in an understandable and stimulating way, combining horse-specific behavior with practical stable management. It is a must for all horse lovers who want further insight into the true nature of their four-legged friends.
Unterwegs in den Wirklichkeiten der Polizei
In dem Band geht es um die Darstellung zweier empirisch-qualitativer Studien, die im Auftrag der Evangelischen Hochschule in Freiburg und der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Baden an der Hochschule für Polizei Baden-Württemberg durchgeführt wurden. Untersucht wurden dabei die Bedeutung der Polizeiseelsorge für den und im polizeilichen Berufsalltag und der Berufsethikunterricht an der Polizeischule. Der Fokus liegt auf der Frage, inwieweit existenzielle Probleme der PolizeibeamtInnen im Berufsethikunterricht hinreichend zur Sprache kommen und der Unterricht in der Lage ist, hinsichtlich dieser Probleme eine Sprachfähigkeit zu vermitteln.
Environmental Barrier Coatings
The global increase in air travel will require commercial vehicles to be more efficient than ever before. Advanced engine hot section materials are a key technology required to keep fuel consumption and emission to a minimum in next-generation gas turbines. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are the most promising material to revolutionize gas turbine hot section materials technology because of their excellent high‐temperature properties. Rapid surface recession due to volatilization by water vapor is the Achilles heel of CMCs. Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) is an enabling technology for CMCs, since it protects CMCs from water vapor. The first CMC component entered into service in 201...
Equitación con sentido
Mariano Cafferata, creador del método de "Entrenamiento en libertad y pie a tierra", nos presenta en esta ocasión un nuevo libro en el que recoge, de modo práctico y asequible para todos los que participan del mundo ecuestre, todo lo aprendido a lo largo de muchos años para entablar un vínculo único y sólido con los caballos basado de la confianza y la seguridad. Este enfoque parte de la idea de que el caballo siempre debe tener la posibilidad de elegir. El aprendizaje se realiza por tanto sin ningún tipo de condicionamiento emocional, mental o físico, lo que resultará en un caballo confiado, relajado y que pueda desplegar todo su potencial.
Babushka's Journey
This is the story of a grandmother, and what happened to her and to Eastern Europe in World War II. Following the tracks of his grandmother Cacilie, Cilly for short, into her vanished homeland of East Prussia and to the labour camps of the Soviet Union, Marcel Krueger has interwoven contemporary landscape and family history into an evocative travel memoir. Babushka's Journey is the record of his grandmother's journey from the snow-covered battlefields of East Prussia in January 1945 to the Soviet labour camps in the Urals, where she spent five years before returning to Germany. Chasing the sights, sounds and voices of past and present along this route, the author has created both fictionalised historical narrative and contemporary travelogue, covering two different journeys that follow the same path. As he stumbles through the bars of present-day Poland and dreams on the bunk beds of the Trans-Siberian railway, Krueger forges an authentic retelling of Cilly's tragic yet hopeful story, discovering that her journey reflects tens of thousands of similar personal histories, which continue to haunt Germany, Poland and Russia today.
