Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean: Meeting the Challenge for Conserving Earth Ecosystems in the Long Term
National and international agencies need assessments of change in ecosystems and their drivers in order to sustain natural systems, to maintain the delivery of services, and to meet the challenge for conserving Earth ecosystems in the long term. In marine systems, change may arise directly from human activities (e.g. fisheries), indirectly from local or global activities (cascading effects through food webs from fisheries or changing environments from climate change and/or ocean acidification), or from naturally varying processes. A particular challenge for managers is to identify how dangerous future climate change will be for ecosystems and their services and whether mitigation or adaptati...
Care Communication
This book studies communication in institutional eldercare. It is based on audio-recorded interactions between residents and staff in a Japanese care facility. The focus is on the morning care routines, which include getting the residents out of bed and ready for the day. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the analysis explores the characteristics of care communication as they become manifest in the interactional small print. Topics include the use of terms of address and formal speech, the basic organisation of openings and closings, the difficulties of talking while working—and, at times, working while talking—and tempo differences between residents and staff as they move along between bed and breakfast. The research findings are contextualised with results from previous studies, tracing significant features and explanation for deviant cases. The author is a trained linguist and certified nursing assistant with first-hand working experience in institutional eldercare.
Varm is
Hva skjer når verden tiner og alt forandres? Den aller mest alvorlige klimaendringen verden står overfor, er at klodens is smelter. I denne boka tar den prisbelønte klimajournalisten Ole Mathismoen for seg hva som er i ferd med å skje. Dette er ikke en bok om klimaløsninger eller håp, men en bok som forteller om de dramatiske endringene som faktisk pågår når isbreer smelter, tundra tiner og havis forsvinner. Det forandrer natur, havstrømmer og vindretninger over hele kloden, og det endrer hvordan millioner av mennesker kan leve - selv langt unna is og snø. Hva skjer egentlig i Antarktis, som gjemmer mesteparten av klodens frosne ferskvann på land? Hvorfor vil økosystemer over store deler av verden påvirkes av at havisen blir borte i Arktis? Hvor mye metan finnes egentlig i den frosne tundraen - og hva vil skje med global oppvarming når gassen havner i atmosfæren? Kan iskaldt smeltevann fra Grønland få Golfstrømmen til å kollapse? Forfatteren formidler oppdatert forskning og imøtegår gale påstander i denne rystende og aktuelle fortellingen om isen på kloden vår.
Climate Change 2021 – The Physical Science Basis
The Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change. It considers in situ and remote observations; paleoclimate information; understanding of climate drivers and physical, chemical, and biological processes and feedbacks; global and regional climate modelling; advances in methods of analyses; and insights from climate services. It assesses the current state of the climate; human influence on climate in all regions; future climate change including sea level rise; global warming effects including extremes; climate information for risk assessment and regional adaptation; limiting climate change by reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions and reducing other greenhouse gas emissions; and benefits for air quality. The report serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with the latest policy-relevant information on climate change. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Imploding Populations in Japan and Germany
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of low birth-rates and population decline on Japan and Germany. Experts from both countries examine a broad range of issues, from demographic change, social ageing, family policies, family formation, work-life balance, domestic and international migration to business perspectives and labour market issues. Focussed on Japan and Germany, two highly developed countries with extremely low fertility, the chapters of this volume also refer to several other countries for comparison. In the absence of war, famine and pandemics, rapid population decline is a new phenomenon. Japan and Germany are struggling with this reality, but many other countries will follow their example.
Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth-Century Spain
This book analyses royal education in nineteenth-century, constitutional Spain. Its main subjects are Isabel II (1830- 1904), Alfonso XII (1857-1885) and Alfonso XIII (1886-1941) during their time as monarchs-in-waiting. Their upbringing was considered an opportunity to shape the future of Spain, reflected the political struggles that emerged during the construction of a liberal state, and allowed for the modernisation of the monarchy. The education of heirs to the throne was taken seriously by contemporaries and assumed wider political, social and cultural significance. This volume is structured around three powerful groups which showed an active interest, influenced, and significantly shaped royal education: the court, the military, and the public. It throws new light on the position of the Spanish monarchy in the constitutional state, its ability to adapt to social, political, and cultural change, and its varied sources of legitimacy, power, and attraction.

Homer's Living Language
An accessible, up-to-date, and innovative account of key features of Homer's poetry (formularity, meter, and dialect). This book is informed by contemporary linguistics and cognitive sciences, and leverages unexpected modern-day parallels (popular music, jazz improvisation, sports commentary) to illustrate Homer's creativity.
