Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Most of the world s mountains are rich in water and, as such,
play a pivotal role in the global water cycle. They provide water
for diverse human uses and ecosystems. Growing water demands as
well as climate change will lead to ever-increasing pressure on
mountain waters. Overcoming water-use conflicts and maintaining the
ecological functioning of mountain waters presents a highly
challenging task and is indispensable for sustainable
development.
This book extensively portrays the highly diverse attributes of
mountain waters and demonstrates their paramount importance for
ecological and societal development. The extensive summaries on the
scientific basics of mountain waters are supplemented with
considerations on the diverse water uses, needs for management
actions, and challenges regarding sustainable water management.
This overview concerns not only the mountain areas themselves but
also downriver reaches and their surrounding lowlands, and,
therefore, the relationship between mountain and lowland water
issues."
A warrior-monk is chosen for a final test, one that will propel him
into a series of life-threatening situations time and time again.
Along the way, the pacific martial artist develops some curious
friendships with a little gnome thief you love to hate, and a
stubborn old dwarf that has a way with words.At the same time, a
Herculean elf is searching for his roots and for the creature that
slaughtered his friends and family. His perilous quest will
unknowingly unite him with a beautiful half-elven druid and a host
of magical creatures that help guide him along his dangerous
journey. Inevitably, these two parties unite and join forces to
face a common threat - one that will unlock the past for the monk,
and unlock the secrets of the giant elf's origins.
As governments and institutions work to ameliorate the effects of
anthropogenic CO2 emissions on global climate, there is an
increasing need to understand how land-use and land-cover change is
coupled to the carbon cycle, and how land management can be used to
mitigate their effects. This book brings an interdisciplinary team
of fifty-eight international researchers to share their novel
approaches, concepts, theories and knowledge on land use and the
carbon cycle. It discusses contemporary theories and approaches
combined with state-of-the-art technologies. The central theme is
that land use and land management are tightly integrated with the
carbon cycle and it is necessary to study these processes as a
single natural-human system to improve carbon accounting and
mitigate climate change. The book is an invaluable resource for
advanced students, researchers, land-use planners and policy makers
in natural resources, geography, forestry, agricultural science,
ecology, atmospheric science and environmental economics.
Moses Maimonides's Guide of the Perplexed is the greatest
philosophical text in the history of Jewish thought and a major
work of the Middle Ages. For almost all of its history, however,
the Guide has been read and commented upon in translation--in
Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, French, English, and other modern
languages--rather than in its original Judeo-Arabic. This volume is
the first to tell the story of the translations and translators of
Maimonides' Guide and its impact in translation on philosophy from
the Middle Ages to the present day. A collection of essays by
scholars from a range of disciplines, the book unfolds in two
parts. The first traces the history of the translations of the
Guide, from medieval to modern renditions. The second surveys its
influence in translation on Latin scholastic, early modern, and
contemporary Anglo-American philosophy, as well as its impact in
translation on current scholarship. Interdisciplinary in approach,
this book will be essential reading for philosophers, historians,
and religious studies scholars alike.

As a reference that contains original and innovative research on
the sociology of emotion, this book will not only appeal to
sociologists but also to scholars of psychology, psychiatry,
anthropology, history, social work, and business/management. With
contributions from experts in the field, this text examines the
role and influence of emotion in everyday social circumstances. It
poses clear questions and presents the contemporary theoretical
developments and empirical research linking social structure and
emotion.
Comparable books are narrowly focused and less comprehensive, the
breadth and depth of this new work is unmatched.
*Explores the roles played by emotion in social arrangements (i.e.,
the power of emotions in psychology, finance, economics,
etc...)
*Poses clear questions and presents the newest theoretical
developments and empirical research linking social structure and
emotion

Too often the study of philosophical texts is carried out in ways
that do not pay significant attention to how the ideas contained
within them are presented, articulated, and developed. This was not
always the case. The contributors to this collected work consider
Jewish philosophy in the medieval period, when new genres and forms
of written expression were flourishing in the wake of renewed
interest in ancient philosophy. Many medieval Jewish philosophers
were highly accomplished poets, for example, and made conscious
efforts to write in a poetic style. This volume turns attention to
the connections that medieval Jewish thinkers made between the
literary, the exegetical, the philosophical, and the mystical to
shed light on the creativity and diversity of medieval thought. As
they broaden the scope of what counts as medieval Jewish
philosophy, the essays collected here consider questions about how
an argument is formed, how text is put into the service of
philosophy, and the social and intellectual environment in which
philosophical texts were produced.

hydrology, ecology/biodiversity and human impacts. Rivers selected
for specific coverage include the largest, the most natural, and
those most affected by humans. This book provides the most
comprehensive information ecologists and conservation managers need
to better assess their management and meet the EU legislative good
governance targets.
