Free Download Petra Kuppinger, "Emergent Spaces: Change and Innovation in Small Urban Spaces "
English | ISBN: 3030843815 | 2021 | 296 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book explores different emergent spaces where diverse urbanites spontaneously negotiate, make and remake urban spaces, create opportunities, produce social change, challenge urban life, culture, and politics, or simply ask for their right to the city. The focus of this book is on spaces and contexts where change is seeded, regardless of whether it was planned and whether it was or will be successful in the end. Contributors analyze the seeds of change at their very inception in diverse cultural contexts across four continents. How do small groups of ordinary and often also disenfranchised people design, suggest and implement ideas of change? How do they use and remake small urban spaces to better suit their purposes, voice claims to the city, create opportunities, and design better urban lives and futures? The emphasis of this volume is not on the nature of activities and change, but on the minute processes of initiating change.

Free Download Regina L. Wagner, "Electoral Patterns in Alabama: Local Change and Continuity Amid National Trends "
English | ISBN: 303106769X | 2022 | 135 pages | PDF | 3 MB
While significant attention in political science is devoted to national level elections, a comprehensive look at state level political dynamics in the United States is so far sorely missing, and state level electoral developments and shifts are treated as mere reflections of national-level dynamics and patterns. This book argues that this significantly impacts our ability to understand macro-level electoral shifts in the United States in general. The book analyzes gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential election results in the state of Alabama from 1945 through 2020. Comprehensive maps of county-level partisan shifts over time and comparisons between trends for different offices make it possible to isolate pivotal elections and compare state-level and national trends over time. When and where did Alabama’s electorate break with the Democratic Party, and were these breaks uniform across the state? Which counties shifted the most over time, and wasthis shift gradual or characterized by change elections? Comprehensive electoral data, on the county- and precinct-level, make it possible to answer these questions and place state-level electoral behavior in its regional and national context. Detailed county level demographic and economic data is used to provide local context for electoral patterns, shifts, and continuities.

Free Download Climate change and insect pests By Björkman, Christer; Niemelä, Pekka
2015 | 279 Pages | ISBN: 1780643780 | PDF | 3 MB
Insects, being poikilothermic, are among the organisms that are most likely to respond to changes in climate, particularly increased temperatures. Range expansions into new areas, further north and to higher elevations, are already well documented, as are physiological and phenological responses. It is anticipated that the damage by insects will increase as a consequence of climate change, i.e. increasing temperatures primarily. Climate Change and Insect Pests sums up present knowledge regarding both agricultural and forest insect pests and climate change in order to identify future research directions

Free Download Sanjay Chaturvedi, "Climate Terror: A Critical Geopolitics of Climate Change "
English | ISBN: 0230249612 | 2015 | 263 pages | EPUB | 453 KB
Climate Terror engages with a highly differentiated geographical politics of global warming. It explores how fear-inducing climate change discourses could result in new forms of dependencies, domination and militarised ‘climate security’.

Free Download Climate Change Impacts on Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981997934X | 807 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 76 MB
This book explores the interaction between climate change phenomena and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC), which inspects the crucial role of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in modifying the net ecosystem response towards the modified environment. Increasing concentration of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from massive deforestation, fossil fuel burning and rapid industrialization in the post-nineteenth century have led to adverse changes in our global climate system. The book evaluates the net impact of climate change on soil, plants and the atmosphere individually and in totality. Among the topics it covers are the impact of climate change on soil environment which encompasses soil processes, nutrient cycling, soil carbon sequestration, soil biota response and soil health management. Also included are the impact on plants with respect to the dry matter assimilation pattern, modification in resource use efficiency, rhizosphere interactions, management of biotic and abiotic stress factors, and regulatory mechanisms of biotic stress factors in modifying the net agroecosystem response towards climate change. Moreover, potential genetic engineering options for establishing C4 or Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in C3 plants, heat-drought stress on pollen biology, breeding ideotype, ecological indicators and crop simulation modelling are considered. Lastly, the impact on the atmosphere takes into account greenhouse gas measurements, mitigation options, eddy covariance measurement of greenhouse gasses, satellite-based monitoring, ecosystem services, abiotic stress management options, air pollution and atmospheric modelling. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students and policymakers in understanding climate change impacts on interaction processes among the atmosphere, soil and plants from the local to regional scales.

Free Download Burma: The Challenge of Change in a Divided Society By Peter. Carey
1997 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 0333595726 | PDF | 7 MB
‘The way forward can only be through a mature political process that will reconcile widely differing points of view and achieve consensus on the challenges that confront our nation and our people. Burma…confronts this issue by acknowledging the validity of contrasting and even conflicting opinions.’ – Daw Aung San Suu Kyi An up-to-date collection of essays by leading academics and Burma specialists covering some of the key economic, ethnic, political and social problems which currently confront Burma. The book is divided into four parts: Politics and Constitution Making, Foreign Policy, Views from the Periphery, and the Challenges of Development. Peter Carey’s introduction provides a useful historical background, and assesses the political prospects for Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy following her 1995 release.

Free Download Atlas of Global Change Risk of Population and Economic Systems by Peijun Shi (Editor-in-Chief)
English | EPUB | 2022 | 300 Pages | ISBN : 9811666903 | 543.3 MB
This book is and illustrates the spatial distribution of the global change risk of population and economic systems with the maps of environment, global climate change, global population and economic systems, and global change risk. The risks of global change are mapped at 0.25 degree grid unit. The risk results and their contribution rates of the world at national level are unprecedentedly derived and ranked. The book can be a good reference for researchers and students in the field of global climate change and natural disaster risk management, as well as risk managers and enterpriser to understand the global change risk of population and economic systems.
