DOWNLOAD EBOOK →[ILLUSTRATO IN B/N] Dal punto di vista dell'Uomo, la nostra è stata l'unica luna per milioni di anni. A partire dal 7 gennaio 1610, Galileo ed i suoi successori hanno scoperto centinaia di nuove lune all'interno del nostro sistema planetario. Oggi conosciamo tutte le lune maggiori e siamo costantemente a caccia di quelle piccole ed evanescenti che orbitano lontano dai loro pianeti o attorno a grandi e remoti asteroidi. Dopo lo storico allunaggio del 1969, l'umanità è riuscita per ora ad atterrare solamente su un'altra luna: Titano. In questo libro sono elencate tutte le lune conosciute, la loro esplorazione e le loro principali caratteristiche. Scopriremo su di esse un'infinita varietà di ambienti ed incontreremo formazioni geologiche mai viste sulla Terra.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Community managed forest systems embody a considerable portion of the wisdom, knowledge, and practical skills and management necessary for the sustainability of forest resources globally. These systems, however, are under threat in many ways, including from the rapid rate of change of their political, socio-economic, and biophysical contexts. Adapting forest management sufficiently quickly and effectively to meet these changes is both urgent and very challenging. This Guide introduces criteria and indicators of sustainability for community managed forest landscapes (CMF C&I) as a potential learning and communication tool that can help meet that challenge. It draws on CIFOR’s collaborative research on CMF C&I in Brazil, Indonesia, and Cameroon to propose a flexible step-by-step approach to developing and implementing self or collaborative forest monitoring systems, and gives examples of C&I developed by communities in these countries. The approach is targeted to communities and their partners in forest management, such as NGOs, government, or development projects, who are seeking strategies to improve local well-being and forest sustainability through more effective learning, collaboration, and decision-making in local forest management.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Since the early 1960s, the internationally acclaimed and highly distinguished Swedish geographer Gunnar Olsson has made substantial contributions to his own discipline. In addition, because of the transgressive nature of his work and writing, which often borders to art and philosophy, his ideas and approaches have reached a wider audience of those interested in the history and geography of ideas, culture and human reasoning. Olsson’s recent masterpiece, Abysmal, is a minimalist guide to the territory of Western culture. In it, he investigates how cartographical reason enables people to think about and navigate the abstract world of invisible human relations, in much the same way as they are able to study and traverse the physical Earth by using maps and mapping. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to, and overview of, the entire range of Olsson’s geography from the early days of spatial science to his contemporary engagement with, and critique of, cartographical reasoning. It includes selected samples of Olsson’s own writings, including rarities, together with a consolidated bibliography of his publications. It also contains critical engagements from leading scholars such as Michael Dear, Michael Watts, Chris Philo and Marcus Doel, with Olsson’s geography, from a variety of perspectives, which are particularly valuable to those readers who already know his work. It is structured and written in a way that makes Olsson’s geography accessible to a wide readership, including those who are not already familiar with Olsson’s work.
