Book Synopsis Biowarfare in America by : Jim Keith
Download or read book Biowarfare in America written by Jim Keith and published by Illuminet Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of chemical and biological megadeath is upon us, and the potential of deadly biowarfare attacks from governments, militant independent groups, and even individuals is far greater than it has been at any time in the past. At this time, more than twenty-five countries are developing, or have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, in many cases in sufficient quantities to wipe out the entire population of the world. So far the danger of chemical and biological aggression has been little acknowledged, and, at least in America, little prepared for by federal and local government. Most terrorist threats and attacks are not widely reported in the mainstream media. Although information about the proliferation of man-made diseases is carefully suppressed by governments and the media they will be covered in the pages of this book. Not only is America unprepared and ignorant of what is happening, but the people in government and scientific professions who do know, who should be warning the American public about the dangers of chemical and biological terrorism, are instead doing their utmost to hide this information from us; information that is vital for our survival.The information that is contained in the pages of this book will not be measured or calculated to reassure people that everything is fine, when reassurance is the exact opposite of what is needed at this time. It may even give you nightmares when you realise the real circumstance that we are in. The information in the pages that follow will be the truth about the biowarfare threat to America.
Book Synopsis Sociology, Organic Farming, Climate Change and Soil Science by : Eric Lichtfouse
Download or read book Sociology, Organic Farming, Climate Change and Soil Science written by Eric Lichtfouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.

Book Synopsis Patterns and Processes in Forest Landscapes by : Raffaele Lafortezza
Download or read book Patterns and Processes in Forest Landscapes written by Raffaele Lafortezza and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing evidence suggests that the composition and spatial configuration – the pattern – of forest landscapes affect many ecological processes, including the movement and persistence of particular species, the susceptibility and spread of disturbances such as fires or pest outbreaks, and the redistribution of matter and nutrients. Understanding these issues is key to the successful management of complex, multifunctional forest landscapes, and landscape ecology, based on a foundation of island bio-geography and meta-population dynamic theories, provides the rationale to deal with this pattern-to-process interaction at different spatial and temporal scales. This carefully edited volume represents a stimulating addition to the international literature on landscape ecology and resource management. It provides key insights into some of the applicable landscape ecological theories that underlie forest management, with a specific focus on how forest management can benefit from landscape ecology, and how landscape ecology can be advanced by tackling challenging problems in forest (landscape) management. It also presents a series of case studies from Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and Australia exploring the issues of disturbance, diversity, management, and scale, and with a specific focus on how human intervention affects forest landscapes and, in turn, how landscapes influence humans and their culture. An important reference for advanced students and researchers in landscape ecology, conservation biology, forest ecology, natural resource management and ecology across multiple scales, the book will also appeal to researchers and practitioners in reserve design, ecological restoration, forest management, landscape planning and landscape architecture.

Book Synopsis Organic Farming, Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures by : Stéphane Bellon
Download or read book Organic Farming, Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures written by Stéphane Bellon and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF&F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF&F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF&F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF&F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.

Book Synopsis La Suisse se réchauffe by : Martine Rebetez
Download or read book La Suisse se réchauffe written by Martine Rebetez and published by Collection Savoir suisse. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des catastrophes en série inquiètent la population, inondations, glissements de terrain, avalanches, s'ajoutant à des hivers sans neige et aux glaciers en voie de disparition. Ce livre rassemble les faits qui, sur l'ensemble du globe ou dans le périmètre des Alpes, montrent que nous vivons réellement un changement de climat. La synthèse de l'auteur apporte les données les plus récentes sur ce phénomène planétaire qui, lié à l'accroissement de l'effet de serre, a conduit aux accords de Kyoto. Mais ce livre s'attache, avec une grande richesse d'observations sûres et frappantes, au cas de la Suisse, particulièrement exposée à ces mutations. L'auteur fait le lien entre la démonstration scientifique du mécanisme et les causes et conséquences du changement climatique - que ce soit pour la montagne et ses glaciers, pour la stabilité des sols, pour l'agriculture et les forêts ou encore pour les déficits d'enneigement qui touchent le tourisme. La Suisse se réchauffe et chacun en verra sa vie quotidienne transformée.
Book Synopsis Comprendre le changement climatique by : Jean-Louis Fellous
Download or read book Comprendre le changement climatique written by Jean-Louis Fellous and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2007-08-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique est en marche, il s’accélère. Il est, sans équivoque, stimulé par les activités humaines. Il est urgent de mieux appréhender sa nature, son ampleur et ses impacts potentiels. Cette conviction est partagée par tous les auteurs, experts français et américains de notoriété mondiale, de ce livre. Acteurs de la science du climat, ils sont aussi citoyens de deux pays dont les choix présents, face à cette situation, sont notoirement différents. Aider le public à mieux comprendre les enjeux du changement climatique, faire la part des certitudes et des incertitudes sur lesquelles certains se fondent pour retarder l’action nécessaire, tel est l’objet de ce livre. Il est un appel à agir, vite et ensemble. La société globale est confrontée au défi d’une réponse collective et efficace à l’altération du climat. Dans le passé, certaines civilisations n’ont pas survécu à la perturbation de leur environnement. Saurons-nous faire mieux ? Jean-Louis Fellous a notamment publié Avis de tempête. Expert du Centre national d’études spatiales auprès de l’Agence spatiale européenne, il est le secrétaire exécutif du Comité mondial des satellites d’observation de la Terre (Ceos) et copréside la Commission mondiale d’océanographie et de météorologie marine. Catherine Gautier est professeur au département de géographie de l’Université de Californie à Santa Barbara depuis 1990, et a dirigé l’Institute for Computational Earth System de 1996 à 2002.
