Managing a Sea - Frederick Wulff, R. Kerry Turner, Ing-Marie Gren

Marine resources and fish stocks are now high on the international and economic research agendas, and the management of highly complex marine ecosystems is increasingly important. The task is complicated by the number of interlinked factors to be taken into account, such as social impacts, drainage systems, marine currents and the ecosystems involved. This interdisciplinary volume presents a comprehensive blueprint for managing a sea. Focused on the Baltic Sea, it employs a range of methods and techniques, including nutrient budgets and simulation models, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), economic valuation and policy analysis, to arrive at an assessment of causes and consequences of pollution in the sea and the management of its resources. From the analysis of data on land use, population, costs of nutrient reductions and associated impacts, it presents significant and highly practical empirical and policy results. It diagnoses the causes of marine degradation, identifies through the use of simulation models cost-effective strategies for remediation and sets out the policies to be pursued collectively by the countries around the sea to restore and manage their common resource. This is an exemplary study in the application of ecological economics to complex natural resource systems. It will be of interest to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Inge si pomyslela, že je to vlastně smutné - Marie Novotná, Xerodoth Sigmius

Inge zkoušela spočítat všechny věci v barvách viditelných jen pro mořské korýše. Inge si přála, aby měl žabák krásný den. Inge se před osmi měsíci, třemi dny, jednou hodinou a dvěma setinami vteřiny pokusila o sebevraždu. Našla spousty důvodů, proč se chtěla zabít. Když ji křísili, matka se na ni rozkřičela. Podle opilého dělníka má Inge ten nejhezčí ušní lalůček. Inge měla v životě přesně pět a půl pohlavního styku. Inge potkala Augusta. August potkal Inge. A pak se vydali na neplánovanou pouť hyperbolickým světem, z kterého není návratu. Nebo je? Xerodoth Sigmius napsal novelu prosycenou barvitými básnickými obrazy plnými melancholie i svébytného humoru, která se vzpírá běžné struktuře tříaktového monomýtu a snaží se vyhnout světu, kde příčiny střídají předpokládané následky.

''Highly readable and deeply researched'' - Andrew Roberts ''Masterful ... brilliantly brings to life one of the most complex characters of modern European history'' - Sunday Telegraph''It is sure to be the standard English-language account for many years. It instructs; it entertains; and it surprises'' - Philip Mansel, The SpectatorFrederick the Great, King of Prussia, dominated the eighteenth century in the same way that Napoleon dominated the start of the nineteenth. He was a force of nature, a ruthless, brilliant, charismatic military commander, a monarch of exceptional energy and talent, a gifted composer, performer, poet and philosopher, and a discerning patron of artists, architects and writers, most famously Voltaire. From the very start of his reign he was an intensely divisive figure - fascinating even to those who hated him.Tim Blanning''s brilliant new biography captures Frederick''s vitality, complexity and flawed genius better than any previous writer. He also recreates a remarkable era, the last flowering of the old regime that would be swept away almost immediately after Frederick''s death by the French Revolution. Equally at home on the battlefield or in the music room at Frederick''s extraordinary miniature palace of Sanssouci, Blanning draws on a lifetime''s immersion in the eighteenth ...

The Prussian Army of Frederick the Great, 1740-1786 - Gabriele Esposito

Frederick the Great was an acknowledged master of war. Admired and studied by Napoleon, he commanded the Prussian army at sixteen major battles and numerous sieges and other actions, often leading from the front. Under Frederick the Prussian Army became arguably the most feared and efficient in Europe, often defeating numerically superior forces. Gabriele Esposito details the organization, uniforms and equipment of the various branches of service that made up the Prussian Army. Starting with the infantry, whose incredible discipline and excellent training made them the backbone of Frederick''s forces he details the famous Guards and the line regiments but also the light infantry jagers and even little-known garrison and auxiliary units. Equal attention is given to the cavalry: Guards, cuirassiers, dragoons, lancers and hussars. There is also a chapter devoted to the ''technical corps'' of artillery, pioneers and the like, and there are chapters on the mercenary ''freikorps'' and Frederick''s German allies. The whole is lavishly illustrated with beautiful colour plates.

He commanded river patrols – swift boats – and was highly decorated, but he discovered that the truth about what was happening in Vietnam was different from what the government was reporting. He returned home disillusioned, became active against the war, and testified in Congress as a 27-year-old veteran who opposed the war. Kerry served as a prosecutor in Massachusetts, then as Massachusetts lieutenant governor, and was elected to the Senate in 1984. His friendship with the Kennedy family gave him valuable contacts, ...

Kobra - Frederick Forsyth - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Mistr politického thrilleru Frederick Forsyth opět ve skvělé formě! Mladík, který umírá ve washingtonské čtvrti Anacostia, by se ani v nejmenším nenadál, že jeho smrt vyvolá novou válku mocností. Tentokrát však nepůjde o politiku, o vojenskou převahu ani o zdroje surovin, tentokrát půjde o prostý bílý prášek zvaný kokain. Na jedné straně neúprosný a pohádkově bohatý kolumbijský Kartel, který pašuje stovky tun této omamné látky na americké a evropské trhy, na straně druhé supertajný projekt s krycím názvem Kobra, který mu má jeho nekalou činnost překazit. „Je vůbec možné kokainový průmysl zničit?“ ptá se americký prezident šéfa tohoto tajného projektu. A Frederick Forsyth ve svém novém románu přináší odpověď.

Regarding Ingres - Darin Strauss

Talented emerging fiction writers find inspiration in one of the most famous paintings in New York’s Frick Collection: Jean-August-Dominique Ingres’s Comtesse d’Haussonville from 1845.Following the successful literary musings on art at the Frick, The Sleeve Should Be Illegal and Cocktails with a Curator, this anthology of newly commissioned texts from graduate students in New York University’s Creative Writing Program pays homage to one of the institution’s most celebrated paintings.Gathered here are fourteen fictional stories inspired by one of Ingres’s most captivating portrait paintings. A detail of the work—the fine silk dress, a red ribbon, a shawl casually draped over the arm of a chair, the contents of a tabletop, the contemplative pose—is the starting point for each story. The pieces range from gothic tales that take place at the time of the painting in the mid-nineteenth century and stories that use the countess as a key character to a present-day ghost story and inventive sagas that take representations of the countess to faraway lands: Poland, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, India, and a heaven that is populated solely by Black people.The faculty adviser for the project is best-selling novelist Darin Strauss, who writes the book’s introduction.

'I Was Transformed' Frederick Douglass - Laurence Fenton

In the summer of 1845, Frederick Douglass, the young runaway slave catapulted to fame by his incendiary autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, arrived in Liverpool for the start of a near-two-year tour of Britain and Ireland he always called one of the most transformative periods of his life. Laurence Fenton draws on a wide array of sources from both sides of the Atlantic and combines a unique insight into the early years of one of the great figures of the nineteenth-century world with rich profiles of the enormous personalities at the heart of the transatlantic anti-slavery movement. This vivid portrait of life in Victorian Britain is the first to fully explore the ‘liberating sojourn’ that ended with Douglass gaining his freedom – paid for by British supporters – before returning to America as a celebrity and icon of international standing. It also follows his later life, through the American Civil War and afterwards.Douglass has been described as ‘the most influential African American of the nineteenth century’. He spoke and wrote on behalf of a variety of reform causes: women’s rights, temperance, peace, land reform, free public education and the abolition of capital punishment. But ...

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (Hero Classics) - Frederick Douglass

Part of the Hero Classics series“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a contribution to the public discourse on slavery. His language is poetic and precise honed in its simplicity as if something artificially put together but immensely natural at the same time. Opening this book is opening the door into Douglass''s consciousness and tracking his inner journey of finding himself in the world: a story of his childhood and youth – a long and laborious path to freedom. Douglass talks about the explicit punishments and tortures that slaves were exposed to. Despite the suffering, he emphasizes the power of self-education and continuous resistance that pushes one to fight their predicament. The publication of this book was such an unprecedented event that the author had to leave the US for Europe for about two years. The fact that Douglass''s ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Ultra Spy - Frederick William Winterbotham CBE

Few people had a career that spanned two world wars and which involved some of the most dramatic and dangerous moments of the 20th century. Group Captain Frederick Winterbotham CBE, however, was one of them. Following the outbreak of war in the summer of 1914, a young Frederick, then still just 17 years old and only freshly back from a trip around the world, enlisted in the ranks of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars Yeomanry. Soon, though, Winterbotham’s thoughts turned in a new direction – and a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps followed. Having gained his pilot’s ‘Wings’, Winterbotham was posted to 29 Squadron, then on the Western Front in France, in April 1917. Early in 1930, Winterbotham rejoined the Air Staff with the official duties of a liaison officer; unofficially he was to operate an Air Department in Britain’s Secret Service. It was in this role that, in the 1930s, he made a number of visits to Germany where he undertook a valuable intelligence and high-level espionage role among many of the top Nazis – meetings that he reveals here in dramatic detail. These encounters included Hitler himself. During the war Winterbotham was based at Bletchley Park and reported ... Unknown localization key: "more"
