Indigenous Ecotourism

Sustainable Development and Management

By: Heather Zeppel

This volume reviews indigenous ecotourism as a special type of nature-based tourism and examines the key principles of conservation and community benefits from indigenous-owned and operated ecotourism businesses or joint ventures. It compares indigenous ecotourism in developed and developing countries and provides global case studies of indigenous ecotourism projects in the Pacific Islands, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. The book analyses key factors and constraints for sustainable development of Indigenous ecotourism and explores the growing links between biodiversity conservation, ecotourism and indigenous rights. It will appeal to practitioners, researchers and students in ecotourism and sustainable tourism, indigenous studies, conservation, natural resource management and community development."--BOOK JACKET.

Green Gone Wrong

Dispatches from the Front Lines of Eco-Capitalism

By: Heather Rogers

Faced with climate change, many counsel "going green," encouraging us to buy organic food or a "clean" car, for example. But can we rely on consumerism to provide a solution to the very problems it has helped cause? Heather Rogers travels from Paraguay to Indonesia, via the Hudson Valley, Detroit, and Germany's Black Forest, to investigate green capitalism, and argues for solutions that are not mere palliatives or distractions, but ways of engaging with how we live and the kind of world we want to live in. A new afterword considers various ways in which national development might be freed from its dependence on economic growth, allowing for a decent standard of living without exhausting the planet's resources.

Green Carbon Part 1

The Role of Natural Forests in Carbon Storage

By: Brendan Mackey,Heather Keith,Sandra L. Berry,David B. Lindenmayer

The colour of carbon matters. Green carbon is the carbon stored in the plants and soil of natural ecosystems and is a vital part of the global carbon cycle. This report is the first in a series that examines the role of natural forests in the storage of carbon, the impacts of human land use activities, and the implications for climate change policy nationally and internationally. REDD ("reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation") is now part of the agenda for the "Bali Action Plan" being debated in the lead-up to the Copenhagen climate change conference in 2009. Currently, international rules are blind to the colour of carbon so that the green carbon in natural forests is not recognized, resulting in perverse outcomes including ongoing deforestation and forest degradation, and the conversion of extensive areas of land to industrial plantations. This report examines REDD policy from a green carbon scientific perspective. Subsequent reports will focus on issues concerning the carbon sequestration potential of commercially logged natural forests, methods for monitoring REDD, and the long term implications of forest policy and management for the global carbon cycle and climate change.

Focus on Canada

By: Heather Blades

Canada explores the history, culture, and people of this huge, sprawling North American nation. As the second-largest country in the world in area, after Russia, Canada is a land of amazing natural beauty. From the majestic Rocky Mountains to the frozen but stunning Arctic landscapes of the Northwest Territories to the seaside charm of the Maritime Provinces, Canadians are rightly pleased with their nation's incredible variety and grandeur. Most Canadians live in cities, many of them, such as Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa, models of urban sophistication and old-world charm. Canadians enjoy one of the world's highest standards of living. But they are also known around the world as a people with a conscience, and they also focus their concerns on the problems of unemployment, substandard housing, and health care that many of its citizens continue to face.

The Six Tasks of the Miserable Poke

By: Heather Bravery

BOOK DESCRIPTION ON THE SIX TASKS OF THE MISERABLE POKE BY HEATHER BRAVERY The story begins with two young royals Prince Poke and Princess Misery who have been betrothed since birth. Prince Poke is a pampered and very spoiled mommys boy who is used to getting his own way and when this does not happen he throws tantrums and screams and cries. His favorite friend is his teddy bear. Princess Misery on the other hand is a feisty young lass who longs for adventure and is known to speak her mind on every occasion, she knows little fear and is practiced in sword fighting. The parents of the two young people are about to announce their engagement, when an evil Wizard appears to prevent this happening. Wizard Lostmywand is determined to have both the princess and the kingdom and when Princess Misery defies him; he sets both youngsters a task. They are to go out into the world and find him six items he needs for a major spell to be performed at the next Wizards convention. These items are the Golden Egg from the Faraway bird who lives in Eggnog. The tooth from Mischief the fierce Dragon of Toofytown. Kelpberries from the Sea Monsters, Blue Lizard from the witch Damnimgood, the spit from the Grannybug and finally the eye of Newt (but then everyone knows that Newts are extinct). Along the way they meet the friendly Lukan the Leprechaun and Wizziboo a rather forgetful wizard, both of whom come to their aid. The four soon become fast friends and experience many wonderful adventures whilst trying to fulfill the tasks. On the other hand there is a young and handsome prince named Sebastian who is on a quest to become a man in order to take the throne from his father. He meets some incredible characters like Elkhorn King of the Pixies and the beautiful Mystique Queen of the Fairies and assists them in taking down their arch rivals Marko the Malicious and Villainous Vile his henchman. Sebastian has to face many challenges but also learns some vital lessons about patience and tolerance. The two groups meet up at the National Music Festival at Splishyden Cove and Sebastian and Misery become friends. Prince Poke meets a young lady named Bubbles, who is really Sebastians long lost sister, although her true identity is only revealed at the end. These six people continue on the quest for the remaining items required and meet up with Wizard Smartass and his strange family. Finally they all return to the castle to hand over the required items to Wizard Lostmywand only to find that he has taken over the entire kingdom and is intent on ruling forever. A magic battle ensues involving Wizziboo, Witch Damnimgood and Wizard Lostmywand. Finally the kingdom is returned to its rightful owners and there is a reunion with Sebastian, his parents and Bubbles his long lost sister. A double wedding takes place and everyone is delighted with the outcome. Although the two young couples are now thinking of taking a further holiday in a new strange land they have heard of called Mughaland.

Ubuntu

By: Heather Ellis

As you travel Africa, you will find the way of ubuntu – the universal bond that connects all of humanity as one. At the age of twenty-eight, while sitting in a friend’s backyard in the remote mining township of Jabiru, Heather Ellis has a light-bulb moment: she is going to ride a motorcycle across Africa. The idea just feels right – no matter that she’s never done any long-distance motorcycle travelling before, and has never even set foot on the African continent. Twelve months later, Heather unloads her Yamaha TT600 at the docks in Durban, South Africa, and her adventure begins. Her travels take her to the dizzying heights of Mt Kilimanjaro and the Rwenzori Mountains, to the deserts of northern Kenya where she is befriended by armed bandits and rescued by Turkana fishermen, to a stand-off with four Ugandan men intent on harm, and to a voyage on a ‘floating village’ on the mighty Zaire River. Everywhere she goes Heather is aided by locals and travellers alike, who take her into their homes and hearts, helping her to truly understand the spirit of ubuntu – a Bantu word meaning ‘I am because you are’. Ubuntu is the extraordinary story of a young woman who, alone and against all odds, rode a motorcycle to some of the world’s most remote, beautiful and dangerous places. ‘Most of us wouldn’t take a motorcycle solo through Africa. Or remember much about what we were saying, smelling, believing or hoping twenty years ago. Heather Ellis did that, and has written a remarkable book about it too. She tells her story vividly and honestly, taking us through fields, national parks, into towns and down red-mud tracks, meeting other travellers and working with locals, eating rice and fish, honing her self-belief and increasing our respect for her with every day on the road. This is a really fascinating and compelling tale, told well. For anyone who has ever doubted themselves, Ubuntu has a message: there is a way through, down a road you haven’t travelled yet.’ —Kate Holden, author of In Her Skin ‘No two big journeys are alike, and Heather Ellis’ could not have been more different to mine, but certain fundamental similarities seem to unite us all, from the prosaic –‘My bike was dangerously overloaded’ – to the sublime awakenings that such journeys engender. Hers was a great adventure into the soul of Africa, a thrilling story of endurance and self-discovery, told with care, intelligence and deep humanity. It is beautifully written and a pleasure to read. So read it.’ —Ted Simon, author of Jupiter’s Travels ‘In the 1990s Heather had an impulsive idea to ride a motorcycle through Africa and, through perseverance, made this come true. Her story is not just a very detailed, descriptive account of the countries she rode through but also of the problems she faced and overcame. It reveals her ability to communicate with people of all nationalities and walks of life, learn from them and find that if you have faith in the Universe, it will provide. Very well written and immensely readable.’ —Linda Bootherstone-Bick, author of Into Africa with a Smile ‘Ever wondered what your life would look like if you chose to trust rather than fear? Heather Ellis does just this as she rides a motorbike across Africa. She discovers a land torn apart by war and poverty but also a land rich in beauty and kindness. Reading this book is challenging and inspiring. Heather’s journey will stay with you long after you finish her story.’ —Maggie Mackellar, author of When It Rains & How to Get There ‘Ubuntu is an inspiring memoir about an extraordinary journey taken by an exceptional woman. Heather Ellis writes about her most daring adventures and deepest struggles with humour, heart, guts and grace. I was enthralled by every page.’ —Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild

Wildfire

On The Front Lines With Station 8

By: Heather Hansen

The author was embedded with one of the busiest wildfire crews in the United States Reveals wildfires through the experiences of the people who go face-to-face with them Focuses on challenges faced in Western states. Every year wildfires ravage forests, destroy communities, and devastate human lives, with only the bravery of dedicated firefighters creating a barrier against even greater destruction. Throughout the 2016 wildfire season, journalist Heather Hansen witnessed firsthand the heroics of the Station 8 crew in Boulder, Colorado. She tells that story here, layered with the added context of the history, science, landscape, and human behavior that, year-by-year, increases the severity, frequency, and costs of conflagrations in the West. She examines the changes in both mindset and activity around wildfires and tracks the movement from wildfire as something useful, to something feared, to something necessary but roundly dreaded. Wildfire shares the drama, hardships, and experiences of the firefighters who try, sometimes in vain, to prevent destruction when a spark flares out of control. Hansen tells the rich and frightening stories of the firefighters themselves and the challenges they face: a safety system struggling to keep up with fire seasons that are lengthening, fires that are becoming more extreme, and agencies that are struggling to cover the bills.

What Are Temperate Deciduous Forests?

By: Heather Moore Niver

Forests fascinate readers and hikers alike. And the deciduous forest, perhaps the "classic" forest biome, fills our stories and is the go-to spot for many outdoor activities. This informative book describes the forest many think they know, presenting the abundant life within, including trees, animals, plants, and even moss. Readers will learn about its iconic four seasons, as well as why trees drop their leaves and change from green to the brilliant hues of autumn. Thought-provoking sidebars prompt further investigation.

The Making of Low Carbon Economies

By: Heather Lovell

The Making of Low Carbon Economies

By: Heather Lovell

The Making of Low Carbon Economies looks at how more than two decades of sustained effort at climate change mitigation has resulted in a variety of new practices, rules and ways of doing things: a period of active construction of low carbon economies. From outer space observations of the carbon in tropical forests, to carbon financial reporting, and insulating solid masonry walls, these diverse things, activities and objects are integral to how climate change has been brought into being as a problem. The book takes a fresh look at society’s response to climate change by examining a diverse array of empirical sites where climate change is being made real through its incorporation into everyday lives – a process of stitching climate concerns into the discourse and practices of already existing economies, as well as creating new economies. The Making of Low Carbon Economies adds fresh insights to economic sociology and science and technology studies scholarship on the multiple origins and heterogeneous operation of markets, demonstrating the constraints and opportunities of an economic framing of the problem of climate change. It covers the obvious (and now well-researched) topic of carbon markets, as well as new more unusual material on the low carbon reframing of already existing markets and economies.

Geomorphology in the Anthropocene

By: Andrew S. Goudie,Heather A. Viles

The Anthropocene is a major new concept in the Earth sciences and this book examines the effects on geomorphology within this period. Drawing examples from many different global environments, this comprehensive volume demonstrates that human impact on landforms and land-forming processes is profound, due to various driving forces, including: use of fire; extinction of fauna; development of agriculture, urbanisation, and globalisation; and new methods of harnessing energy. The book explores the ways in which future climate change due to anthropogenic causes may further magnify effects on geomorphology, with respect to future hazards such as floods and landslides, the state of the cryosphere, and sea level. The book concludes with a consideration of the ways in which landforms are now being managed and protected. Covering all major aspects of geomorphology, this book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students studying geomorphology, environmental science and physical geography, and for all researchers of geomorphology.

Night Voices

Heard in the Shadow of Hitler and Stalin

By: Heather Laskey

It is the story of Poland in the years leading up to the war, the horrors Polish Jews faced during the Nazi occupation, the brief period of hope when they believed they were building a better society, and their gradual disillusionment as state sponsored corruption, brutality, Stalinist paranoia, and anti-Semitism developed. The story is told through the memories of four people, Stasia Alapin Rubilowicz, her husband Mietek Rubilowicz, her son Peter Alapin, and her friend Alina. Life in Poland before and during the war is seen primarily through Stasia's eyes, who evokes her youth in an affluent family, largely assimilated into Polish society. This life was shattered forever in her early adulthood when the Nazis invaded, bringing death and destruction to Poland and to Polish Jews in particular. She recounts the anguish of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, her escape from it, her survival on the run, her betrayal to the Gestapo by a woman who had known her at school, and her rescue from prison by Christian Polish friends at the risk of their lives. In the second half of the book we are introduced to Mietek and her friend Alina, who describe their experiences in Poland during and after the war and their hopes that communism would rid the country of bigotry injustice, and want. But as old hatreds, now supported by a perverted catechism of socialist dogma, reawakened anti-Semitism they became increasingly disillusioned, ultimately deciding they had no recourse but to leave Poland and start a new life elsewhere. By 1968 the Polish communist leadership, through a campaign of intimidation and harassment, had succeeded in ridding Poland of virtually all its surviving Jews.Night Voices is a testimony both to the strength of the human spirit and to our capacity for self-delusion.

Mites: Ecology, Evolution & Behaviour

Life at a Microscale

By: David Evans Walter,Heather C. Proctor

More than 40,000 species of mites have been described, and up to 1 million may exist on earth. These tiny arachnids play many ecological roles including acting as vectors of disease, vital players in soil formation, and important agents of biological control. But despite the grand diversity of mites, even trained biologists are often unaware of their significance. Mites: Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour (2nd edition) aims to fill the gaps in our understanding of these intriguing creatures. It surveys life cycles, feeding behaviour, reproductive biology and host-associations of mites without requiring prior knowledge of their morphology or taxonomy. Topics covered include evolution of mites and other arachnids, mites in soil and water, mites on plants and animals, sperm transfer and reproduction, mites and human disease, and mites as models for ecological and evolutionary theories.

Turned into a human from a baby dragon, the beautiful Ivorine is forced to live out her days growing up as the kings daughter, unaware that within her rests the spirit of a dragon waiting to be released. Acknowledging the bounty placed upon dragons by her father, she joins the dragon hunt, and it is only when a dragon dies by her hand that she decides to leave for the outskirts of her kingdom, escaping her dreaded betrothal, and departing on a perilous quest that will lead her to discover the truth about herself. This will give her advantage she needs to convince her father that the dragons should be left in peace. All the while, she is courted insistently by the eminent dragon hunter Aaraton, who is unaware that his dearest Ivorine is one of the very creatures he slays without regret.

Metaphysics and the Representational Fallacy

By: Heather Dyke

This book is an investigation into metaphysics: its aims, scope, methodology and practice. Dyke argues that metaphysics should take itself to be concerned with investigating the fundamental nature of reality, and suggests that the ontological significance of language has been grossly exaggerated in the pursuit of that aim.
