Climate And Development
The 2015 Paris Accord stated the aim to limit the increase in global mean temperatures to 2ºC compared to pre-industrial levels and if possible, keep it down to 1.5ºC. Achieving this is possible, but the costs incurred are uncertain and the distribution of costs among nations is indistinct. Furthermore, even if the goal is realised, significant impacts from climate change can be expected. Evidence indicates that these will be felt most severely in countries that are relatively poor. These effects of climate change will be added to by the measures taken to reduce GHGs. Together, they will determine how climate change affects the prospects for development across the globe. The analysis of the interplay between climate change and policies to combat it on the one hand and development on the other are the focus of this book.

What we have learned from animals
Did you know that we can learn things about ourselves (humans) and our behaviour without directly studying ourselves? Scientists have for years studied all kinds of animals, to gain a better insight into their strategies for survival, both alone and together. And we are now finding out that these studies can teach us a lot about us and our world – from ecosystem functioning, to behaviour, to health. This Collection examines what we have learned from animals, ranging from microscopic invertebrates to fish and mammals. We look in particular at what different animals can teach us about human behaviour, about how life has evolved and its diversity, and about how the ecosystem on our planet functions. We hope you enjoy reading about all the fascinating things we can learn from the animals we share out planet with!
Integrated Water Resources Management: Concept, Research and Implementation
This book reviews the concept, contemporary research efforts and the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The IWRM concept was established as an international guiding water management paradigm in the early 1990ies and has become a vital approach to solving the problems associated with the topic of water. The book summarizes fourteen comprehensive IWRM research projects with worldwide coverage and analyses their motivations, settings, approaches and implementation of results. Aiming to be an up-to-date interdisciplinary scientific reference, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of contemporary IWRM research, examples of science based implementations and a synthesis of the lessons learnt. It concludes with some major future challenges, the solving of which will further strengthen the IWRM concept.
Modeling Land-use Change in the Volta Basin of Ghana
Land change studies in a 5,400km2 area within the Volta Basin of Ghana were carried out using satellite image and socio-economic analyses. The dominant change process was conversion of natural vegetation to cropland at an annual rate of 5%. Reversible land change trajectories involving accumulation of woody biomass indicate a certain level of rainfall-induced ecosystem resilience. Linear and logistic regressions identified agricultural land suitability, distance from main market and localities, child-dependency ratio and population density as the main drivers of change. Policy measures that would relieve human pressure on vegetation resources, guarantee food supply and promote commercialization of agriculture are suggested.
A Mennonite Heritage
Jacob Suderman was born in 1841 at the Molotschna Colony of South Russia and married Aganetha Weins in 1862. They immigrated in 1879 via Antwerp, Belgium to near Hillsboro, Marion Co., Kansas. He died in 1906.
Vom Leben und Streben der Eissturmvögel
Eissturmvögel sind an Küsten der Nordmeere beheimatet. Ihre Suche nach Lebensräumen an steilen Klippen und schroffen Felsen ist rastlos und ungewiss. Ähnlich zu diesem unstillbaren Drang zur Veränderung verhält es sich mit Heinrich, Mahoud, Marlene und Tamara, die aus gehobenen, abgesicherten, engen, starren und aussichtslos gewordenen Existenzen ausbrechen. 'Vom Leben und Streben der Eissturmvögel' begleitet die Protagonisten auf dem Weg zur Selbstverwirklichung und beleuchtet deren Selbsttäuschung und Skrupel, Zerrissenheit und Widersprüchlichkeit. Zumal das Manuskript kein Lektorat durchlaufen hat, bittet der Autor um Nachsicht für Schreib-, Formulierungs- und Formatfehler. Zumindest die vierte Überarbeitung im Juli 2024 sollte zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung geführt haben. Für die Buchdruckausgabe wurde eine kleine Schriftgröße gewählt, ca. 8 pt.
Africa-EU Relations and the African Continental Free Trade Area
This book examines the establishment and implementation of the AfCFTA, which is the largest free trade area globally, covering 54 African countries. It explores how this initiative has the potential to reshape Africa-EU relations by promoting intra-African trade, economic integration, and diversification, as well as inter-regional trade. Both continents have potential to serve as global actors in reshaping the global order in ways that can affect how multilateralism foster inclusive development. However, whether this will happen would be a function of how the EU and AU define their interests and relationship.

Baerg, 1777-1992
Jacob (Baerg) Berg was born in 1777 possibly in Holland. He married twice and had 17 children. Eventually the family ended up in Russia before several children moved to the United States and Canada. Information on many of the descendants who live in Canada and through out the United States is given in this volume.
