 Glaciers of the Karakoram Himalaya: Glacial Environments, Processes, Hazards and Resources By Kenneth Hewitt (auth.) 2014 | 363 Pages | ISBN: 9400763107 | PDF | 17 MB The Karakoram contains the greatest concentration of glaciers and most of the largest ice masses outside high latitudes. They comprise major stores and sources of fresh water in an otherwise extreme, continental, dry region. As many as 200 million people living downstream, in the valleys of the Indus and Yarkand Rivers, depend on melt waters from snow and ice. They are at risk from climate-change impacts on glaciers and water supply, and from hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods. Useful research initiatives go back to the nineteenth century, but coverage has generally been limited geographically and has not been continuous over time. It is almost 80 years since a monograph was devoted to the Karakoram glaciers. The book presents a comprehensive overview, including statistics for the ice cover, glacier mass balance and dynamics, glacierized landscapes, rock glaciers, water resources and environmental hazards. Published glaciological and related research is surveyed along with expedition reports and archival materials in several languages. The expanding potential of satellite coverage is exploited, but conditions and processes reported from field investigations are the main focus. Previously unpublished observations by the author are presented, based on some 45 years of work in the region. Broad understanding of the glacial environment is used to address emerging concerns about the High Asian cryosphere and the fate of its glaciers. These are discussed in relation to the pressing issues of water supply, environmental risk and sustainability. Questions of what is not known help identify much needed monitoring and research. The book is of interest to researchers, professionals, and those studying glaciers, mountain environments, water resources and environmental hazards. The topics discussed should be of concern for anyone involved in regional development and global change in South and Inner Asia.
 Girls Growing in Wellness and Balance: How To Achieve A Work-Life Balance As A Woman In Business by Jose Salazar English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09YV6F8KH | 73 pages | EPUB | 6.15 Mb Here's a secret. A Smart Girl's Guide To Fitting Things In! that applys to almost every situation, large or small. Remember these guides when you're tackling your entire home, a whole room, a small area in a room, or you're trying to figure out the best way to categorize a collection, manage worktime and life. When you can't be completely organized, be halfway organized. Being semi-organized is better than being completely disorganized. Aiming to work in set hours each day should be the target. Otherwise, a big part of striking a work-life balance is to take a break. Having time off from work helps you work smarter and achieve your goals so it is a must!  Generic Data Structures and Algorithms in Go: An Applied Approach Using Concurrency, Genericity and Heuristics English | 2022 | ISBN: 148428190X | 604 Pages | PDF EPUB | 13 MB  Benn, Tony, "Free At Last: Diaries 1991 - 2001" English | 2009 | ISBN: 1407096710 | ASIN: B0031RSAC4 | EPUB | pages: 770 | 2.8 mb Tony Benn is the longest serving MP in the history of the Labour Party. He left Parliament in 2001, after more than half a century in the House of Commons, to devote more time to politics. This volume of his Diaries describes and comments, in a refreshing and honest way, upon the events of a momentous decade including two world wars, a change of government in Britain and the emergence of New Labour, of which he makes clear he is not a member. Tony Benn's account is a well documented, formidable and principled critique of the New Labour Project, full of drama, opinion, humour, anecdotes and sparkling pen-portraits of politicians on both sides of the political divide. But his narrative is also broader and more revealing about day-to-day political life, covering many aspects normally disregarded by historians and lobby correspondents, relating to his work in the constituency, including his advice surgeries. This volume also offers far more of an insight into Tony Benn's personal life, his thoughts about the future and his relationship with his family, especially his remarkable wife Caroline, whose illness and death overshadow these years. Tony Benn is a unique figure on the British political landscape: a true democrat, a passionate socialist and diarist without equal. With this volume, his published Diaries cover British politics for over sixty years. It is edited, as are all others, by Ruth Winstone.  Eric Hobsbawm, "Fractured Times: Culture and Society in the Twentieth Century" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1595589775, 0349139091 | 336 pages | PDF | 9.5 MB Eric Hobsbawm, who passed away in 2012, was one of the most brilliant and original historians of our age. Through his work, he observed the great twentieth-century confrontation between bourgeois fin de siècle culture and myriad new movements and ideologies, from communism and extreme nationalism to Dadaism to the emergence of information technology. In Fractured Times, Hobsbawm, with characteristic verve, unpacks a century of cultural fragmentation.  Aamir R. Mufti, "Forget English!: Orientalisms and World Literatures" English | ISBN: 0674734777, 067498689X | 2016 | EPUB | 304 pages | 902 KB A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year  Forest BioEnergy Production: Management, Carbon sequestration and Adaptation By Seppo Kellomäki, Antti Kilpeläinen, Ashraful Alam (auth.), Seppo Kellomäki, Antti Kilpeläinen, Ashraful Alam (eds.) 2013 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 1461483905 | PDF | 7 MB For thousands of years, forest biomass or wood has been among the main energy sources of humans around the world. Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels have replaced wood and become the dominant source of energy. The use of fossil fuels has the disadvantage of increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially carbon dioxide (CO2), with the consequent warming of global climate and changes in precipitation. In this context, the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like forest biomass is among the ways to mitigate climate change.This book summarizes recent experiences on how to manage forest land to produce woody biomass for energy use and what are the potentials to mitigate climate change by substituting fossil fuels in energy production. In this context, the book addresses how management can affect the supply of energy biomass using short-rotation forestry and the conventional forestry applying long rotations. Furthermore, the book outlines the close interaction between the ecological systems and industrial systems, which controls the carbon cycle between the atmosphere and biosphere. In this context, sustainable forest management is a key to understand and control indirect carbon emissions due to the utilization of forest biomass (e.g. from management, harvesting and logistics, and ecosystem processes), which are often omitted in assessing the carbon neutrality of energy systems based on forest biomass. The focus in this book is on forests and forestry in the boreal and temperate zones, particularly in Northern Europe, where the woody biomass is widely used in the energy industry for producing energy.
