Crítica de la silvicultura

Crítica de la silvicultura

Klaus J. Puettmann; K. David Coates; Christian Messier

nidottu
La silvicultura est en una encrucijada; los silvicultores est n bajo la presi n creciente de desarrollar pr cticas que sustenten el buen funcionamiento y la din mica de los ecosistemas forestales, as como de mantener su diversidad y resiliencia sin dejar de ofrecer los productos de madera necesarios. Cr tica de la Silvicultura ofrece una mirada penetrante del estado actual en este campo y proporciona sugerencias para su desarrollo futuro. El libro incluye una visi n general de la evoluci n hist rica de las t cnicas silv colas y muestra c mo esta evoluci n se entiende mejor en sus contextos filos fico, social y ecol gico contempor neos. Tambi n explica de qu manera las fortalezas tradicionales de la silvicultura se han convertido en limitaciones en el manejo de los ecosistemas, as como la forma en que los forestales est n reconociendo que nuestro futuro ser m s incierto y que se requieren enfoques variables y novedosos para hacer frente a nuevos retos. Los autores explican c mo otros campos del conocimiento, especialmente la ecolog a y la ciencia de la complejidad, se han desarrollado tratando de comprender la diversidad de la naturaleza y la variabilidad y heterogeneidad de los ecosistemas. Los autores sugieren que las ideas y los enfoques de estos campos pueden ofrecer una gu a hacia un nuevo enfoque filos fico y pr ctico que respalde el manejo de los bosques como sistemas adaptativos complejos. Cr tica de la Silvicultura elimina la brecha entre la silvicultura y la ecolog a que ha obstaculizado durante mucho tiempo la adopci n de nuevas ideas; adem s, rompe con el molde del pensamiento disciplinario al vincular directamente nuevas ideas y hallazgos en la ecolog a y la ciencia de la complejidad con el campo de la silvicultura. Se trata de un libro muy importante y una lectura esencial para cualquier persona involucrada con la ecolog a forestal, la dasonom a, la silvicultura o el manejo de los ecosistemas forestales.

The Fundamentals of Radiation Thermometers

The Fundamentals of Radiation Thermometers

Peter Coates; David Lowe

CRC Press
2019
nidottu
Authored by two highly respected experts in this specialist area, The Fundamentals of Radiation Thermometers is an essential resource for anyone intending to measure the temperature of an object using the radiated energy from that object. This readable, user-friendly book gives important background knowledge for anyone working in the field of non-contact thermometry.The book begins with an accessible account of how temperature scales are set up and defined, and explores the historic development of temperature scales and Planck’s radiation law. Through explaining the reliability of both emissivity values and extrapolation to different wavelengths and temperatures, the book provides a foundation for understanding when a valid measurement with realistic uncertainties has been made, or if an inappropriate emissivity value has been used with consequent unknown errors. The book also presents the hardware of radiation thermometers, allowing the reader to specify an appropriate design for a particular measurement problem. It explores multi-wavelength radiation thermometry and its associated pitfalls, and a final chapter suggests strategies to minimise the uncertainties from unreliable emissivity data.

Today's communities—whether they are currently strong, or struggling to survive—face difficult challenges if they want to be tomorrow's healthy, vibrant communities. The challenge for leaders and citizens of modern communities is not just to solve specific problems today. Their real challenge is to keep learning from their experience so they can keep improving their communities tomorrow. Results That Matter will provide a new governance framework for using valuable tools of community improvement—especially performance measurement and citizen engagement—to empower communities to achieve the outcomes their citizens most desire. Government and nonprofit managers will learn how to combine these tools in new ways, not only to achieve one-time improvement of their organizations and communities, but to foster continual community renewal and improvement. The benefits and practicality of the framework and related practices will be reinforced by case examples from 25 communities across the country. The book will offer "how to" guidance to public and nonprofit managers, including promising practices for effective communities, and new roles for citizens, community leaders, and managers.

The fear of living in the end times has a long history. In Decadence and Decay, a group of distinguished international scholars describe how societies over time have handled and interpreted the concept of decline. In times of unrest and transition, declinism the notion that a culture or civilisation is headed towards irreversible decline tends to capture the public imagination. The essays in this volume address how notions of decadence and decay have been used both as opprobrium and as a form of self-definition and empowerment an instrument to protect individualism against collectivistic oppression. From ancient Rome to the present, ideas and expressions of decadence and decay have played a critical role in how we perceive the world.

Fragments in the Ruins

Fragments in the Ruins

David Coats

Policy Network, London
2018
nidottu
Mainstream social democrats have struggled to hold this own since the global financial crisis. Some established parties have been swept off the political stage while others have seen catastrophic falls in their vote shares. Writing from a distinctively British perspective, David Coats looks to pinpoint the reasons for this decline and offer an optimistic outlook, arguing that social democracy still represents the best hope for affluent societies to secure the values of the Enlightenment. He also makes the case that the Labour party is most successful when it is open pluralist and disengaged from arid internal wrangling. Rather than offering a comprehensive policy agenda, the author calls for a discussion engaging all legitimate strains in the social democratic tradition, outlining a series of questions that Labour must answer if it is to secure a general election victory.

Tom Connor's Gift

Tom Connor's Gift

David Allan Cates

Bangtail Press
2014
nidottu
A recently-widowed doctor, stunned by grief, retreats to a cabin on Montana's Rocky Mountain Front. Inside she has a puppy and a stack of letters from an old lover. Outside, there's a bear. As she revisits the letters from Tom Connor, we come to see, through his eyes, the dusty, broken alleys of Central America during the war years. The two narratives taken together explore themes of life-long love, about what we can see only when we are ready to see, and how hope can grow in the darkest of places. The third in what the author sees as his "homecoming trilogy" (after Hunger in American and Ben Armstrong's Strange Trip Home), Tom Connor's Gift shines a light on the transformative act of storytelling itself, and is destined to be received as one of the most important novels of the year. David Allan Cates's Tom Connor's Gift is extraordinary. The prose is ravishing, the characters are surprising and irresistible, and many of its scenes are so intensely moving that they bring tears of gratitude and pleasure. The book praises long marriage and long friendship, but what I especially appreciate about its vision is how sexually liberating it is for both men and women. Cates is a fierce and fearless writer One finishes this novel feeling wiser, more alive, and spiritually refreshed. David Huddle Sadness and madness, grief and delirium. Tom Connor's Gift delivers us precious monsters: our first true love and our true lasting love. Coursing between anecdote and musing, this is a novel only grownups can understand. It is smart and ecstatic and will break your goddamn heart. Bryan Di Salvatore David Allan Cates evokes the human heart out of the landscape, blending the two with so much subtlety and skill that the very world in this novel shimmers with yearning. Tom Connor is as complex and fascinating a character as I have read in contemporary fiction, and Cates has an uncanny ability to evoke the beautiful and terrifying, the feverish and gritty Central American world Connor travels through. Tom Connor's Gift is a journey into the heart of two continents-and the continent of the human heart-an exploration of dissolution and loyalty, naivet and cynicism, grief and renewal. In this novel, they all find their place. Kent Myers Tom Connor's Gift is the gift we all seek, the gift of love in the face of grief, violence, loss, and heartbreak. In a deeply felt and vividly told story, David Cates connects the interior lives of a farm woman in the wilderness grieving her husband's death and her long-lost lover-a wandering man torn by the beauties and terrors of Central America. Annick Smith Tom Connor's Gift is a fearless and instructive odyssey into the rustic places of the heart that still baffle and dictate our lives. Rick DeMarinis Tom Connor's Gift is a gift all right-hilarious and moving-a two for one: two voices, two stories, two struggles to come to terms with love and longing, in prose that is vivid, urgent, brave, and true. Dinah Lenney Put a widow in a cabin at the edge of Montana's Rocky Mountain Front with nothing but memories and a marauding bear outside to keep her company and what do you get? A tenderly-told tale of grief, recovery, and a message of love from the past. David Allan Cates's Tom Connor's Gift is indeed a gift to readers looking for a novel that will ask them to slow down and think about questions like "How do we endure suffering? And how-when life has flung us far and wide-how do we get home again?" David Abrams Tom Connor's Gift is a wonderful book, standing on its tiptoes, stretching out its fingers to brush against a magical realism that is transformative. Mark Metcalf

A GOLD MEDALIST FOR BEST FICTION IN THE 2013 INDEPENDENT BOOK PUBLISHERS BOOK AWARDS 'Your brother forgives you, ' Ben Armstrong is told by his mother's ghost, 'Don't waste that, ' and so the hero of this novel begins his long journey home. What follows is a wild ride through the subconscious--a night journey toward redemption and grace. It's amusing and hilarious and weird, and unlike any homecoming story you've ever read before... "...a deliberately troubling masterpiece... Ben Armstrong's Strange Trip Home begins with an all-American homecoming that traps its middle-aged ex-farmboy protagonist like a fly in a web worthy of Kafka. Cates' hero endures an inescapable series of dreams, visitations, half-melted memories, and unsought meetings with the living and dead. His subsequent attempts to escape -- or even understand his entrapment -- proceed to make a mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind music I've heard nowhere else in our literature. Endlessly inventive in its language, masterful in its fidelity to its own harsh vision, and symphonic in its impact, this novel builds from a series of perverse fractions to a darkly satisfying whole." --DAVID JAMES DUNCAN, author of The Brother's K and The River Why "I love this book. I picked it up in Montana on a road trip to Minnesota. It carried me along in its backdraft and my imagination was completely engaged for a thousand miles. I like to think about the images and replay the feelings they roused: erotic, startled, awakened." --Sheryl Noethe, author of AS IS, and Montana Poet Laureate "David Allan Cates ignites a new vision of Cain and Abel. Invitingly mysterious and breathtakingly compelling-the story takes on the shape of a rattling tale. Although the story is dreamlike, it does not stall or coerce like a dream-it opens out to mythic possibilities, the strange truths of life. There is a deep hunger for literature that expresses desire and fear with fearlessness and David Allan Cates is on that cutting edge. Wonderful-an Alice in Wonderland journey for grown-ups." -DEBRA MAGPIE EARLING, author of Perma Red "David Allan Cates may take you places you've never been, have never imagined going-to a dead brother slowly turning into a fish on your staircase landing, say, or into the fields around your house only to find a ghost troop of Union soldiers encamped there-but his great knowledge of the deep workings of the human heart serves as an unerring guide wherever his story lead. This is a deeply moving work by an uncannily gifted writer." --PETE FROMM, author of Indian Creek Chronicles, and How all this Started
