Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the connection between Brazil and Antarctica, two regions that can be seen as distant and contrasting, but are physically, culturally and politically associated. Relying on archival material and previous literature, the book offers a thorough account of Brazil’s involvement with one of the most significant regions in the global environment. The author explores the place of Antarctica in geopolitical works and in the first initiatives involving Brazil and the continent, from the rise of geopolitical thought in Brazil in the 1930s up to the present day. He argues that the connection between Brazil and Antarctica is not without its difficulties, but it has been structured in many enduring ways. The book covers causes for the delay and eventual adoption of a now active foreign policy regarding the region, the policy’s early performance in Antarctica, its evolution as a consequence of domestic and international changes, the increasing interest in the environment, and further recent developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing can go faster than the speed of light. But it seems the superfast, snazzy, chic, and hi-tech vehicles will soon outshine this adage. Fast, faster, fastest technological advancements in transportation have made mobility of people and goods easy, connecting the entire world and expanding world trade. It has steered globalization giving a boost to the wealth of nations. On the flipside, aircraft, ships, trucks, and trains powered by the combustion of fossil fuels, moving across the sky, oceans, and land have accelerated climate change, besides giving way to the problem of global energy crisis due to the huge demand and short supply of fossil fuels. So the world now aims at combining energy-efficient technologies with clean fuels to enjoy the benefits of vehicles while being sensitive to the environment. Hybrids, electric cars, and biofuels are some of the examples in this regard. However, there is still a long way to go.

This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are pleased to present the series A Textbook of Geography for Classes 6 to 8. This series has been written in strict conformity with the latest curriculum. The new curriculum deals with the development of children's understanding and appreciation of the world through a continuous interaction and exploration of the natural and human environment. It also aims at encouraging children to appreciate the interdependence of individuals, groups and communities and promotes a healthy respect for different types of cultures and ways of life of people around the world. This series endeavours to introduce the practical aspect of the subject, along with the text, through appropriate Diagrams, Pictures, Maps, Mind Maps (graphic organisers) and latest updates in the field of Geography. The series has been specially designed for the young learners to make the learning experience both enjoyable and informative. The nllant features of the booka In this sertas are - 1. Simple, lucid and student friendly language with scientific, logical and practical approach. 2. Precise and to-the-point contents are given to avoid unnecessary details. 3. Maps and diagrams have been kept simple and clear. 4. In most cases there are separate maps for different types of information instead of providing them in one map. 5. Map skills in regional geography play an important role in understanding the subject as well as laying foundation for the future Examinations. For all the continents covered in curriculum, Self Explanatory Colourful Maps with consolidated information have been given. For the convenience of the students and teachers, Practice Maps have been provided. 6. Colourful Mind Maps at the end of each lesson, give the gist of the lesson at a glance and are ideal for a quick revision. 7. Worksheets under Classwork have been introduced to comprehend the lesson. These are to be solved under the direct supervision of the teacher. 8. Comprehensive Exercise at the end of chapter contains all types of questions to consolidate learning. 9. Teacher's Resource Book containing answers of the exercise given at the back of each lesson is available. 10. As per the latest edition in the Board Examinations for ICSE, MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) have been incorporated in the present set of books for 6th, 7th and 8th for exercise in the each chapter. The present set of books for classes 6, 7 and 8 is a continuation of my existing series of ICSE Geography for classes 9 and 10. This is a genuine effort to maintain the continuity in the ICSE syllabus from Classes 6 to 10 and prepare the students for the oncoming Board Examinations, right from class 6 onward. I hope to succeed in inculcating the interest and confidence amongst the students by providing the required guidance to achieve their ultimate goals. Any suggestions for improvement of the books are most welcome. -Author

This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive handbook, prepared by leading ocean policy academics and practitioners from around the world, presents in-depth analyses of the experiences of fifteen developed and developing nations and four key regions of the world that have taken concrete steps toward cross-cutting and integrated national and regional ocean policy. All chapters follow a common framework for policy analysis. While most coastal nations of the world already have a variety of sectoral policies in place to manage different uses of the ocean (such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas development), in the last two decades, the coastal nations covered in the book have undertaken concerted efforts to articulate and implement an integrated, ecosystem-based vision for the governance of ocean areas under their jurisdiction. This includes goals and procedures to harmonize existing uses and laws, to foster sustainable development of ocean areas, to protect biodiversity and vulnerable resources and ecosystems, and to coordinate the actions of the many government agencies that are typically involved in oceans affairs. The book highlights the serious conflicts of use in most national ocean zones and the varying attempts by nations to follow the prescriptions emanating from the 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention and the outcomes of the 1992, 2002, and 2012 sustainable development summits. The interrelationship among uses and processes in the coast and ocean requires that ocean governance be integrated, precautionary, and anticipatory. Overall, the book provides a definitive state-of-the-art review and analysis of national and regional ocean policies around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, scientist Rosaly Lopes and artist Michael Carroll teamed up as fellows of the National Science Foundation to travel to Mount Erebus, the world’s southernmost active volcano in Antarctica. The logistics of getting there and complex operations of Antarctica's McMurdo Station echo the kinds of strategies that future explorers will undertake as they set up settlements on Mars and beyond. This exciting popular-level book explores the arduous environment of Antarctica and how it is similar to other icy worlds in the Solar System. The bulk of this story delves into Antarctica’s infrastructure, exploration, and remote camps, culminating on the summit of Erebus. There, the authors explored the caves and ice towers on the volcano’s flanks, taking photographs and generating original art depicting scenes in Antarctica and terrestrial analogs on other planets and moons. Readers will see an intimate side of Mount Erebus and Antarctica while surveying the region’s history, exploration, geology, and volcanology, which includes research funded by the National Science Foundation’s United States Antarctic Programs. Richly illustrated with photographs and stunning paintings showcasing the beauty of the harsh continent, the book captures the spirit and splendor of the authors’ journey to Erebus.

Download or read book Antarctica written by Doaa Abdel-Motaal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thawing Antarctic continent offers living space and marine and mineral resources that were previously inaccessible. This book discusses how revisiting the Antarctic Treaty System and dividing up the continent preemptively could spare the world serious conflict. The Antarctic Treaty and related agreements—collectively known as the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS)—regulate the seventh continent, which is the only continent without a native human population. The main treaty within the ATS came into force in 1961 and suspended all territorial claims in Antarctica. The Antarctic Environmental Protocol followed in 1998 and prohibited any minerals exploitation in the continent. With this prohibition up for review in 2048, this book asks whether the Antarctic Treaty can continue to protect Antarctica. Doaa Abdel-Motaal—an expert on environmental issues who has traveled through the Arctic and Antarctic—explains that the international community must urgently turn its attention to examining how to divide up the thawing continent in a peaceful manner. She discusses why the Antarctic Treaty is unlikely to be an adequate measure in the face of international competition for invaluable resources in the 21st century. She argues that factors such as global warming, the growth in climate refugees that the world is about to witness, and the increasingly critical quest for energy resources will make the Antarctic continent a highly sought-after objective. Readers will come to appreciate that what has likely protected Antarctica so far was not the Antarctic Treaty but the continent's harsh climate and isolation. With Antarctica potentially becoming habitable only a few decades from now, revisiting the Antarctic Treaty in favor of an orderly division of the continent is likely to be the best plan for avoiding costly conflict.

This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of “Adaptation and Evolution in Marine Environments – The Impacts of Global Change on Biodiversity” from the series “From Pole to Pole” integrates the marine biology contribution of the first tome to the IPY 2007-2009, presenting overviews of organisms (from bacteria and ciliates to higher vertebrates) thriving on polar continental shelves, slopes and deep sea. The speed and extent of warming in the Arctic and in regions of Antarctica (the Peninsula, at the present ) are greater than elsewhere. Changes impact several parameters, in particular the extent of sea ice; organisms, ecosystems and communities that became finely adapted to increasing cold in the course of millions of years are now becoming vulnerable, and biodiversity is threatened. Investigating evolutionary adaptations helps to foresee the impact of changes in temperate areas, highlighting the invaluable contribution of polar marine research to present and future outcomes of the IPY in the Earth system scenario.
