Ramsar Wetlands: Values, Assessment, Management addresses the approaches, successes and limitations of the Ramsar Convention in a changing world, how recent approaches to wetland monitoring and management can contribute to improving wetland state, what the future holds for wetlands and their wise use, and what the Ramsar Convention needs to do to achieve future successes. The book presents a unique outlook on a range of issues, addressing considerable advances in our understanding of wetlands, their great environmental, social, cultural and economic importance, their role in maintaining the global water-cycle, and in mitigating and adapting to changing climates.

No other book has yet taken this broad look at the past, present and future of wetlands and the Ramsar Convention. From aquatic ecologists, environmental scientists and engineers, to water resource managers, conservation agencies, and land management planners, this comprehensive guide is a beneficial tool in understanding wetlands.

In Forza Sankt Pauli author Nick Davidson documents how Hamburg''s radical football club, FC. St Pauli, continues to be a rallying point for left-wing activists in both Germany and around the world. The book which focuses on the club''s activities in the 21st Century, is set against a backdrop of the increasingly polarised and divided society we find ourselves now living in. It demonstrates how football and politics - despite what many would argue - are inextricably and indelibly linked. 

We learn how the club, fans and the district of Sankt Pauli came to the aid of the thousands of refugees arriving in Hamburg over the summer of 2015. In an age of authoritarian leaders, we witness how the backlash against President Trump fuelled an unprecedented growth in US-based St. Pauli fan clubs - culminating with the two official tours of the United States that saw players protesting outside Trump Tower and The White House. The book also confronts sexism within the fan scene and explores the long-overlooked history of women playing football at FC St. Pauli. As in Pirates, Punks & Politics, Davidson continues to intersperse chapters detailing the club''s history of activism with his own match day experiences travelling to watch the club he fell in love with.
