Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities

2007 y.
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Description: `Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities` examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through case studies from across Europe and elsewhere, assessing them against the sustainability agenda. [detailed...]

Conservation in Africa: Peoples, Policies and Practice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A new, interdisciplinary look at the practices and policies of conservation in Africa is presented in this volume. For the first time social scientists, anthropologists, and historians have been brought together with biologists, in order to illuminate previously neglected yet critically important social aspects of conservation thinking. The book is introduced by an overview of African conservation in the past, present, and future. There are sixteen papers on a wide range of topics from wildlife management to soil conservation, and from the Cape in the nineteenth century to Ethiopia in the 1980s. These collectively show that conservation must form an integral part of future policies for human development. To date, conservation has been largely the domain of the biologist, but the current ecological crisis in Africa and the failure of orthodox conservation policies demand a radical new appraisal of conventional practices. This, therefore, is essential reading for all those… [detailed...]

Conservation in the Internet Age: Threats and Opportunities

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the earliest days of our nation, new communications and transportation networks have enabled vast changes in how and where Americans live and work. Transcontinental railroads and telegraphs helped to open the West, mass media and interstate highways paved the way for suburban migration. In our own day, the internet and advanced logistics networks are enabling new changes on the landscape, with both positive and negative impacts on our efforts to conserve land and biodiversity. Emerging technologies have led to tremendous innovations in conservation science and resource management as well as education and advocacy efforts. At the same time, new networks have been powerful enablers of decentralization, facilitating sprawling development into previously undesirable or inaccessible areas. Conservation in the Internet Age offers an innovative, cross-disciplinary perspective on critical changes on the land and in the field of conservation. The book: provides a general… [detailed...]

Conservation of Great Plains Ecosystems: Current Science, Future Options (Ecology, Economy &, Environment, Vol 5)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A multidisciplinary and multifaceted approach is employed to identify principal ecosystems and natural resources in the U.S. Great Plains that are at risk and that should receive priority for protection. The authors are drawn from a variety of disciplines and approaches, their ideas being presented as a pooling or harvest, rather than as a consensus. The 25 chapters provide background and in-depth discussion of multiple issues/problems related to Great Plains stewardship for future generations. The status and trends of major resources of the Great Plains within an historical, ecological and management framework are categorized according to common goals across the disciplines and can be used to make recommendations for public policy, research and development, and institutions. The challenge for residents of the Great Plains is to merge multiple ecosystem concepts to improve the environment and to improve economic vitality. [detailed...]

Description: This four-volume set, edited by a leading expert on nature conservation, brings together in one collection a series of papers from around the world that are fundamental to understanding the social, political, cultural and scientific dimensions of conservation. Each volume is introduced by a new review essay, which both sets the scope for the collection and advances analytical understanding of conservation issues.

Volume II addresses the core issue of conservation: the maintenance of living diversity in the face of human demands on the biosphere. The intention here is not to offer a sourcebook of conservation science, but to include the key texts that have changed the way conservation is understood and practiced. Volume III explores the overlaps and conflicts between conservation and development, and `win-win`… [detailed...]

Conservative Capitalism: The Social Economy

Publisher: —
Description: Smith, Burke, Marx, Durkheim, Polanyi and Hayek--all sought to situate market exchange and property-based acquisitiveness in the broader context of human interaction and social values. This book explores that framework of interdependence and ethics that embeds the capitalist market economy in an ongoing whole of which the calculative present-day is but a part. It argues that the stability of conservatism anchors the dynamism of entrepreneurship in a matrix of patterns and habits without which orderly free enterprise would be at risk of degenerating into the Hobbesian war of each against all.

Conservatize Me: A Lifelong Lefty`s Attempt to Love God, Guns, Reagan, and Toby Keith

2008 y.
Publisher: Harper Perennial
Description: It has been said that everyone in America is firmly planted in red or blue-permanently conservative or irreversibly liberal. But are we all really that locked in to the left or the right? A lifelong liberal, John Moe was determined to find out. So he reset his radio dials from NPR to Rush Limbaugh, joined some of today`s most influential conservative thinkers for a series of `conversion sessions,` made pilgrimages to the Ronald Reagan and Richard M. Nixon museums, and spent the Fourth of July in the most Bush-friendly county in the country, in an attempt to discover if there was actually a conservative trapped inside him yearning to be set free. `Conservatize Me: A Lifelong Lefty`s Attempt to Love God, Guns, Reagan, and Toby Keith` is a fresh, humorous, and highly entertaining look at our country`s political landscape, one that will strike a powerful chord with millions of disgruntled Americans while stimulating the mind and tickling the funny bone.

This history describes the earliest days of Virginia`s environmental movement, recounting the efforts of a farsighted group of leaders to preserve Virginia`s priceless resources--open land, waterways, and historic sites--and to create new parks within reach of all the state`s citizens. In 1965, Governor Albertis Harrison selected State Senator FitzGerald Bemiss to chair a commission-the Virginia Outdoor Recreation Study Commission-to make recommendations for improving the state`s outdoor recreation facilities. Inspired by Bemiss`s leadership and a newly awakened concern for the environment, the commission reached far beyond its mandate, addressing the entire range of the Commonwealth`s natural… [detailed...]

Consett Iron Works in 1893: A contemporary description of the steel and iron manufacturing carried on at Consett steelworks during the Victorian Era`

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From back in days of wooden ships and iron men, comes a well described and beautifully photographed 1893 appraisal of the Consett Steelworks. This will appeal to anyone interested in the historical industrial revolution or Consett local history and how the area has changed. Sadly, every single thing photographed in this town has since been flattened, including the imposing Victorian Company offices. So a particularly poigniant reminder of a great industrial age past. For this softback binding, the wraparound cover is actually comprised of a map of Consett and the steelworks as it looked in 1893. The interior of the book contains no less than 24 illustrations, mainly of Consett and the Steelworks as they looked at the time. [detailed...]

The Idirans fought for their Faith, the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction. [detailed...]
