Routledge, 2014. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Originating from an international conference on Chinese urban transition and city planning, 16 chapters explore issues of planning in relation to the massive rural-to-urban migration that has accompanied Chinese economic restructuring and growth in recent years. The editors (two of the Bartlett School of Planning, U. College London and one of the Cambridge U. Department of Land Economy, England) have organized the chapters into four sections that focus on migrant livelihood issues; social networks and social integration; urban settlement patterns in relation to economic activities and spatial evolution; and migrants' transient urbanism in relation to urban and home village redevelopment.

"The present volume is a significant attempt towards the mystifying phenomena of Himalayan ecology & Environmental resources. Himalayan ecology is, however, struggling to create its niche as a sub-discipline and as the erosion syndrome over the Himalaya gathers storm, this theme will increasingly catch the attention of the decision makers. Made up of complex eco-systems, the Himalayan ecosphere has eluded the grasp of scientists bound with a mono-disciplinary approach. It covers diverse aspects of the subject through 3 Parts: Ecology, Environmental resources and Case studies.;The watersheds in the Himalayan eco-system are being widely devastated. The sound of dynamic explosions, earth moving machinery, axes and power saws, are disturbing the ecological balance. In the hilly terrains the poorly managed human activities are causing accelerated erosion. The main object of the present volume, is create environmental consciousness among the people. An honest effort has, therefore, been made to touch all the vital issues of Central Himalayan ecology and Environmental resources. The book will prove useful equally to students, scientists and social engaged in regional development of Himalayan region.;;Contents;Part I: Ecology; Chapter 1: Ground Water Provinces of U P Himalaya by S P Nautiyal and Arun K Sandilya; Chapter 2: Structure and Diversity of a Montane Forest in a Part of Bhagirathi Valley, Garhwal Himalaya by G S Rajwar; Chapter 3: Geo-ecology and Forest Development of U P Himalaya by D D Maithani; Chapter 4: Geomorphological Investigations in the North-East of Srinagar, Garhwal Himalaya by A K Sandilya and R S Negi; Chapter 5: Some Geomorphological Observations in and Around Bhatware Area, District Uttarkashi, Garhwal Himalaya by N P Naithani and G S Rawat;;Part II: Environmental Resource; Chapter 6: Resource Inventory and Economic-development with Special Reference to Recreation Resource of Garhwal Himalaya by R D Gaur and D D Maithani; Chapter 7: The Mineral Resources of Western U P Himalaya: Some Corrective Measures against their Depletion by U S Rawat; Chapter 8: The Crumbling Himalaya (Environmental Degradation and Some Conservational Measures) by M S Anantharaman;;Part III: Case Studies; Chapter 9: The Proposed Functioning of the U P Hill Development Corporation by S P Nautiyal; Chapter 10: Rural Settlement and House Types of Jakholi Block, Garhwal Himalaya by M S Negi and B P Naithani; Chapter 11: Agricultural Development in a Hill Region: An Appraisal by K N Joshi; Chapter 12: Rural Landuse Pattern of Central Garhwal Himalaya: A Case Study of South-East Tehri District by D D Maithani and R K Verma.

This is a definitive natural history of the Gower Peninsula, coinciding with its 50th anniversary as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from its heritage coast and its appeal to the naturalist, to the geology, geomorphology, conservation and ecological history of this diverse area. Located to the south west of Swansea and often described as Wales in miniature, Gower Peninsula was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in May, 1946. The area is unique in terms of the variety of the habitats and species that occur within its 188 square kilometres. As a result, it has a greater diversity of conservation designations than almost anywhere else in the UK. The natural history of Gower is like most parts of the British Isles - inextricably linked to the activities of man across many thousand years. "New Naturalist Gower Peninsula" uses the evolving landscape and the effect that the associated changes have had on species and habitats as its core. It provides a detailed examination of: the integration of the archaeological and historic landscape with the natural landscape and its associated species; the geological creation of the peninsula; man's influence on the natural environment over the centuries; the coast and channel, including the limestone cliffs, beaches, caves and saltwater marsh; the environmental impact of the Sea Empress oil disaster in 1996, which discharged 72,000 tonnes of oil into the sea off Gower; and the ongoing conservation of the area and the contribution that naturalists can make. Mullard also looks at notable plants species and the over-wintering bird populations on the estuary, which are of international importance. The culmination of years of research and rich with the latest information and full colour illustrations, "New Naturalist Gower Peninsula" is a valuable source of information on this diverse and fascinating area.

As the field of geography becomes increasingly fragmented and specialized the traditional divisions of physical and human geography have assumed the status of subdisciplines in their own right. It is the intention'of this new series to present newly researched material from the standpoint ofthe physical geographers in such a way that its relevance to human geography and to applied problems becomes clearer. Books in the series will explain the nature of physical processes and their environmental significance and stress the interrelationship of physical and human resources. Historical Change in the Physical Environment. This book provides guidance to the historical sources available for studying the physical environment over the last 10 000 years. It also reviews a number of case studies which have used historical material and assesses their contribution to general understanding of the rate,,scale and importance of changes in the physical environment on the historic timescale. These reviews demonstrate the rapidity of change, the impact of man on the physical environment, and highlight the value of historical sources in such studies. Many environmental scientists lack the specialist knowledge and training to utilize historical sources to their fullest advantage. For them the book provides guidance oti how to find and use sources in archives and libraries, describes the content of particular sources, and discusses methods of checking and analysing historical data. Sources examined in the book include manuscript and printed maps and plans, survey notes, newspapers and topographic accounts. An international perspective is provided by drawing examples of sources and case studies from Great Britain, North America, Australasia, East and West Europe, the USSR and China. Environmental reconstructions in geomorphology, hydrology, biogeography and ecology, climatology and geophysics are considered and examples ofmorphological analysis, analysis ofevents and processes, and the study ofcauses ofchange' in the physical environment are discussed. This book will prove invaluable to students of geography and environmental sciences. Contents Introduction . Sources of Historical Evidence . Comparative and Complementary Sources .

Routledge, 2014. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Originating from an international conference on Chinese urban transition and city planning, 16 chapters explore issues of planning in relation to the massive rural-to-urban migration that has accompanied Chinese economic restructuring and growth in recent years. The editors (two of the Bartlett School of Planning, U. College London and one of the Cambridge U. Department of Land Economy, England) have organized the chapters into four sections that focus on migrant livelihood issues; social networks and social integration; urban settlement patterns in relation to economic activities and spatial evolution; and migrants' transient urbanism in relation to urban and home village redevelopment. (2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), Routledge, 2014, 0, Daya Publishing House, 1991. . Hardcover. New. . . "The present volume is a significant attempt towards the mystifying phenomena of Himalayan ecology & Environmental resources. Himalayan ecology is, however, struggling to create its niche as a sub-discipline and as the erosion syndrome over the Himalaya gathers storm, this theme will increasingly catch the attention of the decision makers. Made up of complex eco-systems, the Himalayan ecosphere has eluded the grasp of scientists bound with a mono-disciplinary approach. It covers diverse aspects of the subject through 3 Parts: Ecology, Environmental resources and Case studies.;The watersheds in the Himalayan eco-system are being widely devastated. The sound of dynamic explosions, earth moving machinery, axes and power saws, are disturbing the ecological balance. In the hilly terrains the poorly managed human activities are causing accelerated erosion. The main object of the present volume, is create environmental consciousness among the people. An honest effort has, therefore, been made to touch all the vital issues of Central Himalayan ecology and Environmental resources. The book will prove useful equally to students, scientists and social engaged in regional development of Himalayan region.;;Contents;Part I: Ecology; Chapter 1: Ground Water Provinces of U P Himalaya by S P Nautiyal and Arun K Sandilya; Chapter 2: Structure and Diversity of a Montane Forest in a Part of Bhagirathi Valley, Garhwal Himalaya by G S Rajwar; Chapter 3: Geo-ecology and Forest Development of U P Himalaya by D D Maithani; Chapter 4: Geomorphological Investigations in the North-East of Srinagar, Garhwal Himalaya by A K Sandilya and R S Negi; Chapter 5: Some Geomorphological Observations in and Around Bhatware Area, District Uttarkashi, Garhwal Himalaya by N P Naithani and G S Rawat;;Part II: Environmental Resource; Chapter 6: Resource Inventory and Economic-development with Special Reference to Recreation Resource of Garhwal Himalaya by R D Gaur and D D Maithani; Chapter 7: The Mineral Resources of Western U P Himalaya: Some Corrective Measures against their Depletion by U S Rawat; Chapter 8: The Crumbling Himalaya (Environmental Degradation and Some Conservational Measures) by M S Anantharaman;;Part III: Case Studies; Chapter 9: The Proposed Functioning of the U P Hill Development Corporation by S P Nautiyal; Chapter 10: Rural Settlement and House Types of Jakholi Block, Garhwal Himalaya by M S Negi and B P Naithani; Chapter 11: Agricultural Development in a Hill Region: An Appraisal by K N Joshi; Chapter 12: Rural Landuse Pattern of Central Garhwal Himalaya: A Case Study of South-East Tehri District by D D Maithani and R K Verma.

This is a definitive natural history of the Gower Peninsula, coinciding with its 50th anniversary as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from its heritage coast and its appeal to the naturalist, to the geology, geomorphology, conservation and ecological history of this diverse area. Located to the south west of Swansea and often described as Wales in miniature, Gower Peninsula was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in May, 1946. The area is unique in terms of the variety of the habitats and species that occur within its 188 square kilometres. As a result, it has a greater diversity of conservation designations than almost anywhere else in the UK. The natural history of Gower is like most parts of the British Isles - inextricably linked to the activities of man across many thousand years. "New Naturalist Gower Peninsula" uses the evolving landscape and the effect that the associated changes have had on species and habitats as its core. It provides a detailed examination of: the integration of the archaeological and historic landscape with the natural landscape and its associated species; the geological creation of the peninsula; man's influence on the natural environment over the centuries; the coast and channel, including the limestone cliffs, beaches, caves and saltwater marsh; the environmental impact of the Sea Empress oil disaster in 1996, which discharged 72,000 tonnes of oil into the sea off Gower; and the ongoing conservation of the area and the contribution that naturalists can make. Mullard also looks at notable plants species and the over-wintering bird populations on the estuary, which are of international importance. The culmination of years of research and rich with the latest information and full colour illustrations, "New Naturalist Gower Peninsula" is a valuable source of information on this diverse and fascinating area.

As the field of geography becomes increasingly fragmented and specialized the traditional divisions of physical and human geography have assumed the status of subdisciplines in their own right. It is the intention'of this new series to present newly researched material from the standpoint ofthe physical geographers in such a way that its relevance to human geography and to applied problems becomes clearer. Books in the series will explain the nature of physical processes and their environmental significance and stress the interrelationship of physical and human resources. Historical Change in the Physical Environment. This book provides guidance to the historical sources available for studying the physical environment over the last 10 000 years. It also reviews a number of case studies which have used historical material and assesses their contribution to general understanding of the rate,,scale and importance of changes in the physical environment on the historic timescale. These reviews demonstrate the rapidity of change, the impact of man on the physical environment, and highlight the value of historical sources in such studies. Many environmental scientists lack the specialist knowledge and training to utilize historical sources to their fullest advantage. For them the book provides guidance oti how to find and use sources in archives and libraries, describes the content of particular sources, and discusses methods of checking and analysing historical data. Sources examined in the book include manuscript and printed maps and plans, survey notes, newspapers and topographic accounts. An international perspective is provided by drawing examples of sources and case studies from Great Britain, North America, Australasia, East and West Europe, the USSR and China. Environmental reconstructions in geomorphology, hydrology, biogeography and ecology, climatology and geophysics are considered and examples ofmorphological analysis, analysis ofevents and processes, and the study ofcauses ofchange' in the physical environment are discussed. This book will prove invaluable to students of geography and environmental sciences. Contents Introduction . Sources of Historical Evidence . Comparative and Complementary Sources .
