Kenneth Johnson - Böcker

The flora and fauna of Southeast Asia are exceptionally diverse. The region includes several terrestrial biodiversity hotspots and is the principal global hotspot for marine diversity, but it also faces the most intense challenges of the current global biodiversity crisis. Providing reviews, syntheses and results of the latest research into Southeast Asian earth and organismal history, this book investigates the history, present and future of the fauna and flora of this bio- and geodiverse region. Leading authorities in the field explore key topics including palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, biogeography, population genetics and conservation biology, illustrating research approaches and themes with spatially, taxonomically and methodologically focused case studies. The volume also presents methodological advances in population genetics and historical biogeography. Exploring the fascinating environmental and biotic histories of Southeast Asia, this is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers as well as environmental NGOs.

Kenneth Johnson has written a beautiful book that will open the door to the magic of the Baltics. Explore the Amber Coast and its many magical mysteries, meet a pagan sun goddess, and explore the spirituality of a people who were the last to convert to Christianity in long-ago Europe. Kenneth Johnson takes us on another magical journey in his third Crossed Crow Books title, DANCE OF THE SUN GODDESS. This is the first easily accessible book in the English language to offer an in-depth look into the Pagan folk traditions of the Baltic Coast, the last region of Europe to be converted to Christianity. We are introduced to the goddesses and gods of this magical land, as well as seasonal and family rituals that shed a surprising light on some of the most ancient concepts of Pagan Europe. DANCE OF THE SUN GODDESS is an inspiring addition to traditional Pagan and magical practices.
