Kurrikulum- en Assessering beleidsverklaring (KABV) te voldoen.
Sleutelterme word in rooi gedruk as dit vir die eerste keer
verskyn. ’n Lys van hierdie terme word ook in rooi aan die begin
van elke eenheid of hoofstuk gelys. Nuwe woorde is in blou en word
in die kantlyn verduidelik. Aktiwiteite help leerders om te
verstaan wat hulle geleer het. 'n Opsomming aan die einde van elke
onderwerp help leerders studeer. Die Formele Assesserings taak
(FAT) blokkie bevat take wat leerders voorberei vir die wat in die
klas voltooi moet word. Vrae aan die einde van elke onderwerp help
leerders met hersiening. ‘n Voorbeeld van ‘n eksamenvraestel aan
die einde van die boek sal leerders ook help oefen en leer oor
alles wat hulle nodig het om te weet.
JOHN L. INNES University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada The
interactions between biomass burning and climate have been brought
into focus by a number of recent events. Firstly, the Framework
Convention on Climate Change and, more recently, the Kyoto
Protocol, have drawn the attention of policy makers and others to
the importance of biomass burning in relation to atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentrations. Secondly, the use of prescribed fires has
become a major management tool in some countries; with for example
the area with fuel treatments (which include prescribed burns and
mechanical treatments) having increased on US National Forest
System lands from 123,000 ha in 1985 to 677,000 ha in 1998.
Thirdly, large numbers of forest fires in Indonesia, Brazil,
Australia and elsewhere in 1997 and 1998 received unprecedented
media attention. Consequently, it is appropriate that one of the
Wengen Workshops on Global Change Research be devoted to the
relationships between biomass burning and climate. This volume
includes many of the papers presented at the workshop, but is also
intended to act as a contribution to the state of knowledge on the
int- relationships between biomass burning and climate change.
Previous volumes on biomass burning (e. g. Goldammer 1990, Levine
1991a, Crutzen and Goldammer 1993, Levine 1996a, 1996b, Van Wilgen
et al. 1997) have stressed various aspects of the biomass-climate
issue, and provide a history of the development of our
understanding of the many complex relationships that are involved
The series was written to be aligned with CAPS. A possible work
schedule has been included. Each topic start with an overview of
what is taught, and the resources you need. There is advice on
pave-setting to assist you in completing the work for the year on
time. Advice on how to introduce concepts and scaffold learning is
given for every topic. All the answers have been given to save you
time doing the exercises yourself. Also included are a full-colour
poster and CD filled with resources to assist you in your teaching
and assessment.
Sustainable Forest Management provides the necessary material to
educate students about forestry and the contemporary role of
forests in ecosystems and society. This comprehensive textbook on
the concept and practice of sustainable forest management sets the
standard for practice worldwide. Early chapters concentrate on
conceptual aspects, relating sustainable forestry management to
international policy. In particular, they consider the concept of
criteria and indicators and how this has determined the practice of
forest management, taken here to be the management of forested
lands and of all ecosystems present on such lands. Later chapters
are more practical in focus, concentrating on the management of the
many values associated with forests. Overall the book provides a
major new synthesis which will serve as a textbook for
undergraduates of forestry as well as those from related
disciplines such as ecology or geography who are taking a course in
forests or natural resource management.

This volume contains a selection of scientific papers which were
presented at an international workshop on the impacts of climatic
variability held in Wengen, Switzerland, September 1997. For the
first time, an assessment is made of the interactions between
physical and biological elements of the Earth System on the basis
of shifts in extreme climatic conditions, rather than simply
changes in mean atmospheric conditions which research has tended to
focus on until recently. Natural ecosystems and forests are typical
examples of systems which, while constrained within certain ranges
of mean climate, can undergo rapid and often irreversible damage in
the face of short-lived but intense extreme events.

Forests play an important role in resolving global challenges such
as sustainable development, climate change, biodiversity loss, and
food and water security. Stopping deforestation is crucial for the
future of our planet. Global efforts to curb deforestation, have
been partially successful, but have largely fallen short. At the
same time, national level efforts to support human development,
reflected in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals,
aim to increase the welfare and wellbeing of populations living in
poverty. Meeting these development goals will inevitably have
crosscutting effects on initiatives to address deforestation. In
balancing these goals, policy makers are confronted with wicked
problems - or problems where there are moral considerations and
where limited information is available for policy makers. This book
is focused on how wicked forest policy problems have been, and can
be, addressed.

The age-old Christmas Story is a narrative many of us know by
heart. Imagine, then, hearing the sacred tale from fresh voices to
re-awaken the awe that originally inspired storytellers. "Mary's
Night" illumines the Nativity as a poetic Christmas treasure of
fourteen perspectives of one very special night, told by an
unlikely cast of narrators. See the trip to Bethlehem through the
eyes of a Donkey, feel the experience of a Manger that held the
newborn Christ, and sense the innocent connection between an
awkward young Lamb and the infant Lamb of God. Accompanied by some
of the most beautiful works of art from the 15th, 16th, and 19th
centuries, the unique poems of "Mary's Night" will inspire you to
share this Story with your loved ones for generations to come.
