Aletta Biersack, James B. Greenberg, "Reimagining Political Ecology"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0822336723 | PDF | pages: 441 | 4.5 mb
Reimagining Political Ecology is a state-of-the-art collection of ethnographies grounded in political ecology. When political ecology first emerged as a distinct field in the early 1970s, it was rooted in the neo-Marxism of world system theory. This collection showcases second-generation political ecology, which retains the Marxist interest in capitalism as a global structure but which is also heavily influenced by poststructuralism, feminism, practice theory, and cultural studies. As these essays illustrate, contemporary political ecology moves beyond binary thinking, focusing instead on the interchanges between nature and culture, the symbolic and the material, and the local and the global.

Aidan Walker, "The Ecology of the Soul: A Manual of Peace, Power and Personal Growth for Real People in the Real World"
English | ISBN: 1782798501 | 2016 | 320 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Power Seeds and Magic Minutes: the route to inner space. The Ecology of the Soul: A Manual of Peace, Power and Personal Growth for Real People in the Real World explains the seven powers of our own inner ecosystem - the Ecology of the Soul - and how to revive them to regain our natural, true state of peace, power and well-being. When the Ecology of the Soul is in balance, we live and thrive in this world, and create the new one, with grace, harmony and beauty. Each one of the seven powers - Nature, Creativity, Endurance, Love, Communication, Focus and Connection - generates seven separate meditations, which in turn create 'Power Seeds' of thought and mental habit. Plant one a day, and in a 'Magic Minute' - 60 powerful seconds of daily, active meditation - you achieve the balance, power and peace of Soul Consciousness. Warm, accessible, even humorous, the book acknowledges that we're all human and not everyone is able or willing to aim for the highest path of enlightenment. It gives practical methods by which anyone, at whatever level of commitment, can benefit.

Metagenomics and Microbial Ecology: Techniques and Applications
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367487349 | 214 Pages | PDF (True) | 21 MB
Microorganisms comprise the greatest genetic diversity in the natural ecosystem, and characterization of these microbes is an essential step towards discovering novel products or understanding complex biological mechanisms. The advancement of metagenomics coupled with the introduction of high-throughput, cost-effective NGS technology has expanded the possibilities of microbial research in various biological systems. In addition to traditional culture and biochemical characteristics, omics approaches (metagenomics, metaproteomics, and metatranscriptomics) are useful for analyzing complete microbial communities and their functional attributes in various environments.

Disturbance Ecology
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030987558 | 316 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 70 MB
This edited work presents a multi-faceted view on the causes and consequences of disturbance in ecosystems. Vegetation can be affected by a variety of different disturbances such as wind, floods, fire, and insect attack, leading to an abrupt change in live biomass. Disturbance is a motor of vegetation dynamics, but also sensitive to climate change and poses a challenge for ecosystem management.

T. E. Graedel, Braden Allenby, "Industrial Ecology and Sustainable Engineering"
English | 2009 | pages: 426 | ISBN: 0136008062 | PDF | 4,3 mb
This text is devoted to industrial ecology/green engineering. This introduction provides everything instructors need to teach a successful course-including visuals-in one source. The authors use industrial ecology principles and cases to ground the discussion of sustainable engineering, and thus offer practical and reasonable approaches to an otherwise difficult and sometimes otherworldly subject.

Falcons are stunning and iconic birds. Australia has six falcon species, with two endemic to the continent and two others endemic to the Australasian region. They are important indicators of the health of our ecosystems, due to their position at the top of the food chain. But several species are declining, with two species threatened in some states.
In Australian Falcons: Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation , Dr Stephen Debus provides a 30-year update of knowledge on these six species, as well as a falcon-like hawk, the Black-shouldered Kite. This book is based partly on the author's field studies, as well as being a supplement to the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds ( HANZAB ) and recent global treatises. It offers up-to-date information on the Australian species, including their behaviours, ecology and biology. It reviews their population status and threats, and suggests what needs to be done to ensure the future of these spectacular birds.
