The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization urbanization pollution deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are however some positive developments. Eagles have a strong historic bond with human civilization due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore despite the complexity of this relationship there may yet be hope for this unique species group frequently rated as the kings of birds and symbolic of human power ambition royalty nationality and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds. | The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology providing resources examples and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics development and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development biodiversity and evolution during climate change and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution. Key Features Numerous illustrations demonstrating the principles of plant morphology Historical context for interpretations of more recent genetic data Firmly rooted in the principles of studying plant form and function Provides evolutionary framework without relying on evolutionary interpretations for plant form Only synthetic treatment of plant morphology on the market Related Titles Les D.

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

By studying the emergence development structure and pattern the two-volume set seeks to reconstruct the ancient rhyme Chinese tables based on extant materials and findings. A rhyme table is a tabulated tool constituted by phonological properties which helps indicate the pronunciation of sinograms or Chinese characters marking an accurate and systematic account of the Chinese phonological system. The first volume discusses its formation and evolution and analyzes the structure and arrangement patterns of rhyme tables in detail. The author gives insights into principles for some irregular cases (menfa rules) and the nature of “division” (deng) a method of classifying and differentiating speech sounds vital to the reconstruction of Middle Chinese. The second volume first explores the relationship and identifies the prototype of the extant rhyme tables and then presents the reconstructed rhyme tables with detailed annotations and add-on indexes.

Routledge Handbook of Rewilding

Routledge Handbook of Rewilding

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the history theory and current practices of rewilding. Rewilding offers a transformational paradigm shift in conservation thinking and as such is increasingly of interest to academics policymakers and practitioners. However as a rapidly emerging area of conservation the term has often been defined and used in a variety of different ways (both temporally and spatially). There is therefore the need for a comprehensive assessment of this field and the Routledge Handbook of Rewilding fills this lacuna. The handbook is organised into four sections to reflect key areas of rewilding theory practice and debate: the evolution of rewilding theoretical and practical underpinnings applications and impacts and the ethics and philosophy of rewilding. Drawing on a range of international case studies the handbook addresses many of the key issues including land acquisition and longer-term planning transitioning from restoration (human-led nature enabled) to rewilding (nature-led human enabled) and the role of political and social transformational change. Led by an editorial team who have extensive experience researching and practising rewilding this handbook is essential reading for students academics and practitioners interested in rewilding ecological restoration natural resource management and conservation.

The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

This book summarizes the lifetime work of Dr K. Mohan Iyer and is based on his research done at the University of Liverpool UK where he devised a modified posterior approach to the hip joint and has been following it from 1981 till today. The book discusses the anterior approach to the hip on a standard operating table using a leg holder with a combined spinal anesthetic and general anesthetic. It studies total hip replacement as a day-case as an evolution in total hip replacement and presents the principles of anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty including discussions on the choice of patients superficial and deep dissection and dedicated surgical instruments. It provides extensive details on the direct anterior approach (DAA) and shows how the DAA to the hip can be carried out on a plain table which can be useful in countries in Asia such as India without the use of special operating tables and dedicated surgical instruments for the same. The book is helpful for the upcoming postgraduates in orthopedics anywhere in the world to be well versed in DAA to the hip joint. | The Hip Joint Modified Posterior Approach

Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa

Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa

The Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa brings together a multidisciplinary team of international experts to reflect on the history politics societies and cultures of French-speaking parts of Africa. Consisting of approximately 35% of Africa’s territory Francophone Africa is a shifting concept with its roots in French and Belgian colonial rule. This handbook develops and problematizes the term with thematic sections covering: Colonial and post-colonial ties between France and sub-Saharan Africa Belgium Belgian colonialism and Africa The Maghreb African Francophones in France Francophone African literature and film ‘Francophone’ and ‘Anglophone’ Africa Beyond national boundaries and ‘colonial partners’ The chapters demonstrate the evolution of Francophone Africa into a multi-dimensional construct with both a material and an imagined reality. Materially it defines a regional territorial space that coexists with other conceptualisations of African space and borders. Conceptually Francophone Africa constitutes a shared linguistic and cultural space within which collective memories are shared not least through their connection to the French imperial imagination. Overall the Handbook demonstrates that as global power structures and relations evolve African agency is increasingly assertive in shaping French-African relations. Bringing this important debate together into a single volume this Handbook will be an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Francophone Africa.
