"This book provides an excellent synthesis of conservation
practices...The book has insightfully blended constructive concepts
supported by well-recognised models and case studies on how to
manage agricultural production and biodiversity...I strongly
recommend this brilliant book to students, scientists, managers,
policymakers and politicians engaging in biodiversity conservation
in the agricultural landscape globally." Journal of Nature
Conservation More intensive, monocultural agriculture has been
associated with a decline in diversity of habitat and plant species
which leads to corresponding declines in diversity of insect, bird
and mammal species. There is mounting evidence that a more
biodiverse landscape improves ecosystem services which benefits
farmers. Reconciling agricultural production with biodiversity
conservation provides an authoritative review of current
biodiversity conservation practices, including field margins,
agroforestry systems, hedgerows and improved pasture and grassland
management. The collection additionally summarises the theoretical
framework that underpins biodiversity conservation in agriculture,
dedicating chapters to key developments in areas such as landscape
approaches, mapping and modelling diversity, as well as ways of
assessing the economic value of biodiversity conservation
practices.
The Red Speck is an allegorical journey into the self. At face
value, it's the tale of Sophie who awakens to find herself on a
deserted beach, with no memory of how she arrived nor any idea how
to find her way home. Just barely beneath the surface, however, the
book is about transformation. Woven into the story are a set of
tools to help the reader achieve such a goal. Sophie arrives in an
alternate world populated by ghosts from her past, a fallen angel
with a slow Southern drawl and a quick temper, as well as a
beautiful woman who may, or may not, be the mother of all creation.
Aided by a handsome young man and a band of demigods, she embarks
on an esoteric adventure to correct psychological damage accrued
over the course of a lifetime. Sophie needs to move forward and
conquer her past in order to create the future she desires.
Reflection in a mirror is a science fiction tale with a historical
involvement with both the 1936 Spanish War and the current day
project eight hundred feet below New York city streets where a new
water tunnel is under construction.
