Documentary maker Alex Gibney examines the WikiLeaks phenomenon and
the question of how information is accessed globally. With a goal
'to bring important news and information to the public', the
fledgling website, founded in 2006 by Australian Julian Assange,
gained worldwide notoriety in 2010 with its leaking of highly
sensitive US classified material, including the infamous
'Collateral Murder' footage of US air strikes on civilian targets
in Iraq, along with over 250,000 diplomatic cables. In addition to
detailing how the website came to be, the film explores the issues
surrounding the freedom of information and moral responsibility,
whilst comparing and contrasting the impact that the furore has had
on founder Assange, and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the US soldier
charged with supplying the leaked material.
"It would be difficult to mention any single work in which the
glorious plan of man's redemption is more fully and clearly
exhibited, than in Dr. Bates' Harmony Of The Divine Attributes. The
writer recollects with pleasure and gratitude, that when he was
first led to attend with interest to theological subjects, this
work fell into his hands, and was read with profit and delight; and
now, after the lapse of forty years, he has again perused it with
unmingled approbation; and he can scarcely conceive of any better
method of exhibiting the doctrines of the gospel, than that which
is here pursued." - Archibald Alexander
Savannah habitats comprise an ecologically important, but
ultimately fragile, ecosystem. They constitute one of the largest
biomes on Earth, covering almost 20% of the land surface, and can
be simply described as tropical and subtropical grasslands with
scattered bushes and trees. Most savannahs occur in Africa,
although smaller areas can be found in South America, India, and
Australia. They form a rich mosaic of diverse ecosystems, and this
book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to their
ecology, biodiversity, and conservation. The Biology of African
Savannahs describes the major plants (grasses, and trees such as
Acacia) and animals (mainly large mammals) that live in this
habitat, and examines the biological and ecological factors that
influence their population size, interactions (such as predation),
and community composition. Conservation issues such as climate
change, hunting, and conflict between wildlife and domestic animals
are also discussed. This new edition has been updated throughout
with the latest research in the field, and contains new technique
boxes which introduce readers to some of the analytical methods
used to study African savannahs. This accessible text is suitable
for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses
in savannah and tropical ecology as part of a wider ecology and/or
conservation biology degree programme. It will also be of relevance
and use to the many professional ecologists and conservation
practitioners requiring a concise but authoritative overview of the
topic.
