Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems : Science, Technology, and Public Policy


Description

Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressed--restoration--is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines * Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. * Common factors in successful restoration efforts. * Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. * Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. * The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.

Ex-Earth president Nelson Kreelman is imprisoned on the planet Rodos for his crimes against mutant-kind. But even behind bars Kreelman is a dangerous man, for his allies are on their way to break him out. Johnny Alpha uncovers the conspiracy to unleash this genocidal dictator and, with the help of some unlikely companions, he plans to put a stop to Kreelman's ruthless regime once and for all! Written by John Wagner (Judge Dredd) and with art by Carlos Ezquerra (Bloody Mary) this Thrill-packed collection continues the adventures of everybody's favourite bounty hunter. A thinking person's guide to reality." "The science of perspective has informed the representational and decorative arts since their inception, and its gradual perfection during the Renaissance was as important an event as any of the other mathematical and scientific developments of the time. Beginning with the evolution of visual perspective, Phoebe McNaughton reveals how and why illusions work in Eccentric Orbits : The Iridium Story - How a Single Man Saved the World's Largest Satellite Constellation From Fiery Destruction download ebook pdf the first place. Questioning the idea that what we see is actually what is out there, she offers further optical illusions to suggest to readers that the world they perceive is in fact a complex product of their brain, constructed from the sensory data. Closing with various magical, theological, and atmospheric illusions and a further philosophical discussion of the nature of reality, "Perspective "will appeal widely to artists, designers, architects, and anyone interested in the visual or graphic arts.
