Coccolithophores
This introduction to one of the most common phytoplankton types provides broad coverage from molecular and cellular biology all the way to its impact on the global carbon cycle and climate. Individual chapters focus on coccolithophore biology, ecology, evolutionary phylogeny and impact on current and past global changes. The book addresses fundamental questions about the interaction between the biota and the environment at various temporal and spatial scales.
Ramon Margalef, ecólogo de la biosfera. Una biografía científica
Ramon Margalef (1919-2004) fue el primer catedrático de Ecología y uno de los mejores investigadores de España en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La primera parte de este libro ofrece una panorámica completa de su labor científica, en la que se destacan aspectos esenciales que están relativamente olvidados aunque siguen siendo muy vigentes. La segunda parte recupera un trabajo clásico sobre los organismos indicadores en la limnología que Margalef publicó en 1969 y lo compara con la situación actual de estos estudios, lo que demuestra cómo ya en aquel momento Margalef sentó cátedra en este tema. Con el presente homenaje, invitamos a quienes todavía no conocen la obra del eminente profesor a adentrarse en su legado, de gran importancia no solo para la ecología europea, sino también mundial.
Handbook of the Protists
Published in a modern, user-friendly format this fully revised and updated edition of The Handbook of Protoctista (1990) is the resource for those interested in the biology, diversity and evolution of eukaryotic microorganisms and their descendants, exclusive of animals, plants and fungi. With chapters written by leading researchers in the field, the content reflects the present state of knowledge of the cell and genome biology, evolutionary relationships and ecological/medical/economic importance each major group of protists, organized according to current protist systematics as informed by molecular phylogenetics and genomics.
Forest Economics
Forestry cannot be isolated from the forces that drive all economic activity. It involves using land, labour, and capital to produce goods and services from forests, while economics helps in understanding how this can be done in ways that will best meet the needs of people. Therefore, a firm grounding in economics is integral to sound forestry policies and practices. This book, a major revision and expansion of Peter H. Pearse’s 1990 classic, provides this grounding. Updated and enhanced with advanced empirical presentation of materials, it covers the basic economic principles and concepts and their application to modern forest management and policy issues. Forest Economics draws on the strengths of two of the field’s leading practitioners who have more than fifty years of combined experience in teaching forest economics in the United States and Canada. Its comprehensive and systematic analysis of forest issues makes it an indispensable resource for students and practitioners of forest management, natural resource conservation, and environmental studies.
The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning
In 35 chapters by leading scholars in language policy and planning (LPP), this Handbook critically examines current theoretical and methodological transformations taking place in LPP. Sections on LPP theory, nation-states and communities, and late modernity, plus an integrative summary, offer a state-of-the-art profile of LPP and directions for future research.
