Brant MacDuff's personal journey from staunch anti-hunter to compassionate, ethical hunter weaves a larger&nbsp;story about humans, animals, the environment, and our food systems.

At the intersection of hunting and conservation, a man shares his personal journey from staunch anti-hunter to compassionate, ethical hunter, weaving together a larger history of humans, animals, the environment, and our food systems.

Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications discusses the pressing environmental issues facing the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The book is based on the author's lectures and research over the past decade, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of marine contamination from an ecological standpoint. Key topics include the distribution of persistent organic pollutants, their transfer from non-living compartments to organisms, human chemical impacts, global change effects on pollutant distribution, and how tourism affects warming polar oceans. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of geography, polar climate, ecosystem structure, contaminant properties, and marine biology and ecology. The second part presents case studies that illustrate the ecological impacts of the topics discussed in Part One. This structure helps readers gain a holistic view of contamination issues in marine ecosystems of polar regions.

A marvelously illustrated look at bats from around the world The only mammals capable of flight, bats are found on every major continent on the planet. They perform crucial roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, from consuming insect pests over agricultural crops and forests to pollinating night-flowering plants, dispersing seeds in tropical biomes, and recycling nutrients and creating natural fertilizer. Many of the world’s 1,400 species are threatened or endangered due to habitat destruction, climate change, and persecution arising from harmful myths. This beautifully illustrated guide demystifies these fascinating creatures, blending the latest science with fact-filled profiles of representative species, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the imposing giant golden crowned flying fox. A must for bat lovers everywhere, Bats of the World showcases the extraordinary diversity of this incredible group of animals.<ul><li>Features a wealth of stunning color photos and engaging infographics</li><li>Shares invaluable insights into the anatomy, evolution, and behavior of bats and their cultural and ecological importance</li><li>Profiles bats from every family, detailing their unique features, distribution, numbers, conservation status, and habitat</li><li>Written by leading experts in bat ecology and conservation</li></ul>

Er jagt. Er sammelt. Sie ist sein nächstes Opfer.Sechs Jahre sind vergangen, seit Anka ihrem sadistischen Entführer entkam. Gequält und gefoltert hat die Gefangenschaft Spuren bei ihr hinterlassen. Sie quittierte ihren Dienst als Polizistin, um fortan ein ruhiges Leben zu führen. Doch eine rätselhafte SMS mit GPS-Daten und dem Wort HILFE reißt sie zurück in ihre Albträume. In einer Hütte im Wald entdeckt Anka makabre 'Kunstwerke': menschliche Körperteile, fein säuberlich eingelegt in Formaldehyd, ausgestellt wie in einer Galerie. Die grausame Handschrift ihres Peinigers ist unverkennbar. Anka ahnt: Der Killer ist zurück - und diesmal will er sein Werk vollenden. Mit ihrem Leben.&nbsp;

The essential illustrated compendium of sauropod dinosaurs, from the towering Brachiosaurus to small, long-necked herbivores The Princeton Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs: Sauropods brings together every species of long-necked dinosaur known to have roamed the prehistoric world, with a dedicated entry for each species describing its key characteristics, taxonomic classification, location, and known remains along with a concise history of its discovery. Each species is beautifully brought to life with vivid illustrations and is supported by meticulously detailed diagrams of all known fossils. These visual aids enable readers to explore how scientists reconstruct these incredible creatures from fossilized remains. Whether you’re curious about Brachiosaurus, Titanosaurus, or the multitude of less familiar sauropod species, this encyclopedia covers them all. The Princeton Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is a comprehensive three-volume resource for anyone who is fascinated by dinosaurs. Packed with engaging dino facts and original, full-color reconstructions, drawings, and graphics, this one-of-a-kind encyclopedia strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility—detailed enough to captivate professionals yet clear and exciting enough for beginners eager to dive into the amazing lost world of the dinosaurs. The three volumes, which are available individually or as a set, are Theropods, Sauropods, and Ornithischians. Organized for easy reference, these books are perfect for casual browsing or in-depth study. Together, this encyclopedia invites dinosaur lovers of all ages to walk among the wondrous beasts of the Mesozoic era.

Sediment Hydrology provides the comprehensive information required to practically understand the behavior, patterns and morphometric variations of sediment in watersheds. Additionally, the essential techniques for applied estimating, modeling, ascription and partitioning the sediment yield are evaluated and presented. The liberal use of game theory, image processing, artificial neural network, allometric models, and regression models are explained to enhance our understanding of hydrological systems. A major feature of the book is the description of essential subjects of scale effect, connectivity, watershed health and hysteresis patterns of sediment in the context of hydrological variability. This book will be helpful and useful for scientists and policymakers who need to understand the dynamism of sediment hydrology and its new study tools to reach an adaptive watershed management.

Realising that the need for conservation of the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of World Heritage Sites still remains much more dominant than a holistic approach towards the wider social, economic and environmental implications, the book "World Heritage and Sustainable Development" aims to examine and propose ways in which sustainable cultural development can become an integral part of successful conservation and management within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs). In order to do so, thematic chapters concentrating on issues of building conservation, climate change and human development within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) will be included.

This book illustrates how the choice of relevant data collection and data analysis techniques is critical for a sound and objective description of the complexity of space-time patterns and processes in ecology and the aquatic sciences. It reviews the concept of complexity in a general ecological context, before introducing a unifying definition of complexity in marine ecology. The book shows that convincing results can arise from very simple, sound, and well-thought-out approaches. The authors underline the risks related to modern techniques of data assimilation that can lead to data inundation, a loss of focus, and ultimately an erroneous scientific approach.
