Biogeography and Ecology of the Rain Forests of Eastern Africa
AvJon C. Lovett,Samuel K. Wasser
Häftad, Engelska, 2008

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Eastern African rain forests are remarkable in their high level of endemism. Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean temperatures maintained a region of high rainfall throughout Pleistocene droughts that devastated forest elsewhere on the continent. Relics of the former Pan-African rain forest survived here, the study of which provides a unique insight into tropical evolutionary processes. This book brings together research on the animals, plants and geography of this intriguing residual forest, and highlights the need for effective management practices to conserve its exceptional biodiversity in the face of increasing pressure for land for cultivation.

Regions of the world with greatest biodiversity are shown to exhibit greatest linguistic diversity, strongly suggesting that the relationship between language and ecology is both symbiotic and spatially and temporally determined. This volume examines the expressions of, and threats and challenges to, this relationship in southern and eastern Arabia. Exploring the ways in which indigenous languages reflect the close relationship between people and their natural environment, this book presents an overview of the key threats and challenges, and introduces the methodologies used to investigate them. Across the chapters, case studies are presented dealing with language, gesture and ecology, the significance of naming, the role of narratives in the language–ecology relationship, and conservation and revitalisation of bio-cultural diversity in Arabia. Taking a multidisciplinary view, this book argues for the central role that language plays in facing the challenges and threats to bio-cultural diversity, and presents methods for the study of the language–nature relationship that can be applied globally.

Handbook of Environmental Management
AvJon C. Lovett,David G. Ockwell
Häftad, Engelska, 2011
835 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A Handbook of Environmental Management presents a range of case studies that demonstrate the complementary application of different social science techniques in combination with ecology-based management thinking to the natural environment. Contemporary environmental management is characterised by an increasing awareness of the need for interdisciplinary approaches. This requires managers to effectively combine insights from both the natural and social sciences in order to ensure sustainable outcomes. This eloquent and unique Handbook provides a broad overview, complimented by specific case studies and techniques that are used in environmental management from the local level to international environmental regimes. With contributions from leading authorities in the field, this innovative volume provides a valuable teaching aid for students, as well as an insightful and practical reference tool for environmental practitioners with no background in the social sciences. Environmental managers and policymakers attempting to learn about, and integrate thinking from, the social sciences should also not be without this important resource.Contributors: B. Adhikari, J. Barnard, T.M. Brooks, N. Burgess, D. El-Demellawy, G.A.B. da Fonseca, S. Frantzi, F.R. Gell, J. Gerlach, M. Hoffmann, D. Kirby, J.F. Lamoreux, T. Lehmberg, J.C. Lovett, S. Mhagama, G.A. Mill, C.G. Mittermeier, R.A. Mittermeier, D.G. Ockwell, V. Pérez-Cirera, J.D. Pilgrim, C.H. Quinn, A.S.L. Rodrigues, Y. Rydin, J. Springer, D. Thomas, T.M. van Rensburg
