Protection of the Three Poles by Falk Huettmann Pdf

The Arctic, the Antarctic, and the Hindu Kush-Himalayas form a trio of terrains sometimes called “the three poles”. Mainly composed of rock, snow, and ice, these precious regions, which are home to many unique species such as the polar bear, the emperor penguin, and the snow leopard, contain the primary water resource of this planet and directly shape our climate. This book presents a first-ever global assessment and progressive review of the three poles and demonstrates the urgent need for their protection. Sins of the past have irrevocably harmed and threatened many of the unique qualities of these regions, and the future looks bleak with the global population forecast to reach 9 billion by 2060, and with climate change on the rise. Presented here is a wide-reaching and coherent overview of the three poles’ biodiversity, habitats, and ongoing destruction. Failed protection and social targets set by the United Nations and other bodies are exposed while economic growth, unconstrained or inappropriate development, and urban sprawl are promoted unabated. Polar regions play a major role in the global agenda as they are rich in oil and other resources, marking them for contamination, overfishing, and further degradation. Tourism in the Antarctic has benefited from enlightened self-regulation, but there are signs that this is changing, too. The chapters of this book are written by experts in their fields, and their evidence leaves no doubt that we already live beyond our carrying capacity on a finite but decaying space. A global protection role model and several outlook scenarios are proposed to help set in motion polar protection priorities that are actually valid. Humanity has demonstrated through international treaties such as the Antarctic Treaty and the Madrid Protocol that we can put the interests of the planet as a whole first. This must become the norm, not the exception.

Geotechnical Research for Land Protection and Development by Francesco Calvetti,Federica Cotecchia,Andrea Galli,Cristina Jommi Pdf

This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of geotechnical engineering, as presented by leading researchers and engineers at the 7th Italian National Congress of Geotechnical Researchers (CNRIG 2019), entitled “Geotechnical Research for the Protection and Development of the Territory” (Lecco, Italy, July 3-5, 2019). The congress is intended to promote exchanges on the role of geotechnical research and its findings regarding the protection against natural hazards, design criteria for structures and infrastructures, and the definition of sustainable development strategies. The contributions cover a diverse range of topics, including infrastructural challenges, underground space utilization, and sustainable construction in problematic soils and situations, as well as geo-environmental aspects such as landfills, environmental and energy geotechnics, geotechnical monitoring, and risk assessment and mitigation. Selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, they will spur novel research directions and foster future multidisciplinary collaborations.

Hindu Kush-Himalaya Watersheds Downhill: Landscape Ecology and Conservation Perspectives by Ganga Ram Regmi,Falk Huettmann Pdf

This book describes the myriad components of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya (HKH) region. The contributors elaborate on challenges, failures, and successes in efforts to conserve the HKH, its indigenous plants and animals, and the watershed that runs from the very roof of the planet via world-rivers to marine estuaries, supporting a human population of some two billion people. Readers will learn how the landforms, animal species and humans of this globally fascinating region are connected, and understand why runoff from snow and ice in the world’s tallest mountains is vital to inhabitants far downstream. The book comprises forty-five chapters organized in five parts. The first section, Landscapes, introduces the mountainous watersheds of the HKH, its weather systems, forests, and the 18 major rivers whose headwaters are here. The second part explores concepts, cultures, and religions, including ethnobiology and indigenous regimes, two thousand years of religious tradition, and the history of scientific and research expeditions. Part Three discusses policy, wildlife conservation management, habitat and biodiversity data, as well as the interaction of animals and humans. The fourth part examines the consequences of development and globalization, from hydrodams, to roads and railroads, to poaching and illegal wildlife trade. This section includes studies of animal species including river dolphins, woodpeckers and hornbills, langurs, snow leopards and more. The concluding section offers perspectives and templates for conservation, sustainability and stability in the HKH, including citizen-science projects and a future challenged by climate change, growing human population, and global conservation decay. A large assemblage of field and landscape photos, combined with eye-witness accounts, presents a 50-year local and wider perspective on the HKH. Also included are advanced digital topics: data sharing, open access, metadata, web portal databases, geographic information systems (GIS) software and machine learning, and data mining concepts all relevant to a modern scientific understanding and sustainable management of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region. This work is written for scholars, landscape ecologists, naturalists and researchers alike, and it can be especially well-suited for those readers who want to learn in a more holistic fashion about the latest conservation issues.

The Final Journey: by Larry D. Horton PhD Pdf

It is the summer of 2016 and the possibility that a dark world exists in the future is a theory no one wants to become a reality. As signs of impending turmoil increase and a presidential election looms in the near future, two married Christian survivalists begin preparations for a fifteen-hundred-mile journey to what they hope is a safe place. Along the way, they log their experiences in a diary while strictly adhering to the mantra to always be prepared for the worst. As the couple creates the four Es criteriaevaluate, escape, evade, and endurethat will dictate their journey, they pledge to stay true to them hinged on a strong faith that they will be led by an eternal plan. After evaluating their priorities and finalizing the details, the couple finally sets out in January on their quest to survive within a different world. As a new president is inaugurated and the country becomes more divided than ever, the Christian survivalists rely on their faith, scripture, and inner-strength as they transform into determiners of their own future. But can they overcome their challenges and endure long enough to reach their destination? In this fictionalized diary, two Christian survivalists vividly describe their faith-filled journey to begin a new chapter within a tumultuous post-election world.

On The Cutting Edge of The Frontiers of Electrical, Mechanical and Security Engineering Technology by Harry Zackrison Pdf

There are two primary goals that this book wishes to achieve; 1) Reliability through redundancy of design that is not dependent upon the capability of the rest of the system, and 2) the maximum security achievable for our highly classified facilities that we are dependent upon for our survival. In order for each chapter to be a stand-alone entity, in some cases repetitive material found in other chapters is included to facilitate continuity. Hence you won't have to go to other chapters and sub heading to keep you abreast of the current material. There are two chapters, 7 and 9, that have specific items identified for civilian government contractors who perform oversees work at our embassies, chancelleries, and military facilities.
