Cette tude a tent de cartographier le potentiel en eaux souterraines Zaria, au Nigeria. Les eaux souterraines constituent une source tr s importante pour l'approvisionnement en eau, mais elles sont variables dans l'espace. Dans certaines zones de la r gion tudi e, on a observ des cas fr quents d'ass chement des puits et des forages. Il est donc important d' valuer la variation des eaux souterraines dans la r gion afin d'am liorer leur exploration, ainsi que la conservation et la gestion de cette ressource. Les donn es Landsat ETM+ et GDEM fournies par ASTER, les donn es conventionnelles ainsi que les donn es m t orologiques ont t utilis es pour caract riser les ressources souterraines par observation directe des facteurs hydrologiques contr lant la surface et le sous-sol. Sur la base de ces facteurs, huit cartes th matiques ont t labor es: densit du r seau hydrographique, g ologie, g omorphologie, couverture terrestre, lin aments, pr cipitations, pente et sol. L'influence de chaque th me sur la recharge des eaux souterraines a t valu e l'aide du processus hi rarchique analytique (AHP), puis pond r e. Les eaux souterraines ont t cartographi es en cinq cat gories (tr s bonne, bonne, mod r e, faible et tr s faible) l'aide d'ArcGIS. Cet ouvrage peut int resser les personnes travaillant dans le secteur de l'approvisionnement en eau, les agences gouvernementales charg es de l'approvisionnement en eau et celles qui s'int ressent la r alisation d' tudes sur le

Financing Urban Transitions to Climate Neutrality and Increased Resilience in Cities

Financing Urban Transitions to Climate Neutrality and Increased Resilience in Cities

While global financial capital is abundant, it flows into corporate investments and real estate rather than climate change actions in cities. Political will and public pressure are crucial to redirecting funds. Studies of economic impacts underestimate the costs of climate disasters, especially in cities, so they undermine political commitments while understating potential climate-related returns. The shift of corporate approaches towards incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts offers promise for private-sector climate investments but are recently contested. Institutional barriers remain at all levels, particularly in African cities. Since the Global North controls the world's financial markets, new means of increasing funding for the Global South are needed, especially for adaptation. Innovative financial instruments and targeted use of environmental insurance tools can upgrade underdeveloped markets and align urban climate finance with ESG frameworks. These approaches, however, require climate impact data collection, programs to improve cities' and countries' creditworthiness, and trainings. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

We certainly do not discover the fascination of Lake Garda, nor its prowess to be immortalized through the shots of a camera. Today we do not even discover the skill of Hannibal, who has always been ready to delight us with beautiful photographs. What you will find in ""Garda Lake Promenade"" is the sensuality of black and white, which magically emphasizes the long lake with shadows and lights of rare beauty. Every book by Hannibal is high on the quality bar, and ""Garda Lake Promenade"" is no exception: you just have to leaf through this book dreaming of walking on the magical shores of Lake Garda ...

Although many linguistic attempts are made to explain, interpret and understand the landscape of our planet, one of the most impartial and fascinating readings, remains that of photography. When, with the photographic tool, he manages to express himself and his culture by transmitting them with such force, he creates a work of art that becomes independent of the artistic technique itself. The views captured by the objective of this artist, come to us as fascinating images, almost timeless, marked by a multiplicity of values

Garbo

Robert Gottlieb

Farrar, Straus and Giroux

sidottu
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice One of Esquire's 125 best books about HollywoodAward-winning master critic Robert Gottlieb takes a singular and multifaceted look at the life of silver screen legend Greta Garbo, and the culture that worshiped her. "Wherever you look in the period between 1925 and 1941," Robert Gottlieb writes in Garbo, "Greta Garbo is in people's minds, hearts, and dreams." Strikingly glamorous and famously inscrutable, she managed, in sixteen short years, to infiltrate the world's subconscious; the end of her film career, when she was thirty-six, only made her more irresistible. Garbo appeared in just twenty-four Hollywood movies, yet her impact on the world--and that indescribable, transcendent presence she possessed--was rivaled only by Marilyn Monroe's. She was looked on as a unique phenomenon, a sphinx, a myth, the most beautiful woman in the world, but in reality she was a Swedish peasant girl, uneducated, na ve, and always on her guard. When she arrived in Hollywood, aged nineteen, she spoke barely a word of English and was completely unprepared for the ferocious publicity that quickly adhered to her as, almost overnight, she became the world's most famous actress. In Garbo, the acclaimed critic and editor Robert Gottlieb offers a vivid and thorough retelling of her life, beginning in the slums of Stockholm and proceeding through her years of struggling to elude the attention of the world--her desperate, futile striving to be "left alone." He takes us through the films themselves, from M-G-M's early presentation of her as a "vamp"--her overwhelming beauty drawing men to their doom, a formula she loathed--to the artistic heights of Camille and Ninotchka ("Garbo Laughs "), by way of Anna Christie ("Garbo Talks "), Mata Hari, and Grand Hotel. He examines her passive withdrawal from the movies, and the endless attempts to draw her back. And he sketches the life she led as a very wealthy woman in New York--"a hermit about town"--and the life she led in Europe among the Rothschilds and men like Onassis and Churchill. Her relationships with her famous co-star John Gilbert, with Cecil Beaton, with Leopold Stokowski, with Erich Maria Remarque, with George Schlee--were they consummated? Was she bisexual? Was she sexual at all? The whole world wanted to know--and still wants to know. In addition to offering his rich account of her life, Gottlieb, in what he calls "A Garbo Reader," brings together a remarkable assembly of glimpses of Garbo from other people's memoirs and interviews, ranging from Ingmar Bergman and Tallulah Bankhead to Roland Barthes; from literature (she turns up everywhere--in Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, in Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and the letters of Marianne Moore and Alice B. Toklas); from countless songs and cartoons and articles of merchandise. Most extraordinary of all are the pictures--250 or so ravishing movie stills, formal portraits, and revealing snapshots--all reproduced here in superb duotone. She had no personal vanity, no interest in clothes and make-up, yet the story of Garbo is essentially the story of a face and the camera. Forty years after her career ended, she was still being tormented by unrelenting paparazzi wherever she went. Includes Black-and-White Photographs

The only complete biography of the screen legend-now in paperback for the first time!Greta Garbo (1905-1990) is as famous for her reclusiveness as for starring in such enduring classics as Flesh and the Devil, Grand Hotel, Queen Christina, and Ninotchka. In this richly illustrated volume, renowned biographer Barry Paris offers the definitive biography of this fascinating and complex woman-from her hardscrabble childhood in Sweden to her arrival in Hollywood at the age of nineteen, from her meteoric rise to stardom to her unintentional retirement from filmmaking at the height of her fame, from the new life she crafted for herself to her surprising, and failed, plans for a comeback. Drawing on hitherto unavailable material, including one hundred hours of tape-recorded conversations, fifty years of correspondence, and interviews with Garbo’s surviving friends and family, Paris reveals the real woman behind the enigma. Barry Paris is an award-winning biographer, film and music critic, and journalist who is the author of Louise Brooks (Minnesota, 2001). His articles have appeared in the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, American Film, and numerous other publications. He lives in Pittsburgh.

For the first time, you can read the Ramones' comments about their own history in this intimate series of interviews with the legendary band.The Ramones were arguably the single most influential rock 'n' roll act to emerge from that curious muddle of magic and mediocrity called the 1970s. Two of the group's founding members—singer Joey Ramone and bassist Dee Dee Ramone—didn't live to see the Ramones become icons of popular culture, hear their music in TV commercials, or experience the unlikely adoption of "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a sports anthem. Guitarist Johnny Ramone barely lived long enough to see it begin, and drummer Tommy Ramone's death in 2014 wrote finis to the mortal part of the Ramones' story. The legend endured. In 1994, as the Ramones celebrated their 20th anniversary, then-current members Joey, Johnny, drummer Marky, and bassist C. J. knew the group's Road To Ruin would soon approach its end. Given an opportunity to assess where they'd been and what was left to do, they agreed to a series of interviews discussing the entirety of the Ramones' story. This is that story: a career-spanning discussion of the Ramones' career, an intimate glimpse at how the Ramones viewed their work, their experiences, their impact, their legacy, their fans, and each other. It's a unique and fascinating peek into what it was like to be one of the few, the proud, the Ramones.For the first time, you can read the Ramones' published comments about their own history, and much, much more than ever could have fit into a single magazine issue.
