This book presents the latest advances in karstology by researchers at the ZRC SAZU Karst Research Institute, Slovenia – home of Classical Karst. It features interdisciplinary investigations carried out on the karst surface, subsurface, caves, and associated waters. It covers various topics, such as analysis of karst processes, including the mineralogical and lithological characteristics of sediments and carbonate rocks; structural geological mapping; detecting the old traces of paleokarst; the formation of karst surfaces in a variety of types of rock and conditions; and the evolution of karst, which can aid in dating sediments, and in tracing aquifers using artificial and natural tracers. In addition, the book provides detailed information on the use and development of various research methods, ranging from comprehensive field research, long-term measurements, and laboratory analyses to computer and laboratory modeling. Integrating karst geology, geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, speleobiology, and microbiology research, these methods provide readers with a far deeper understanding of karst terrains.
Organizational flirts and marriages alliances, mergers and acquisitions are dramatic examples of how soft cultures can produce hard facts of success or failure. Decisions born from human vanity can lead to destruction of human capital. The chapters selected by Ulijn, Duysters and Meijer illustrate the many facets of organizational family life for the scholar and, hopefully, for the decision-maker who considers another move. Geert Hofstede, author of Culture s Consequences This unique book focuses on the link between different types of culture (national, corporate, professional) and the success of strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions. Over the past decades we have seen a significant ...
The book is the result of joint work and many years of mutual cooperation between researchers from Slovenia and Croatia. It was made as part of the transboundary project ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (Life – Water!) (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), which involved the participation of authors from project partner institutions as well as invited authors who are familiar with the characteristics of the karst area of Northern Istria and the conditions there relating to drinking water supply. The monograph presents the natural features of Northern Istria, the karst and karst phenomena, karst hydrogeology, ecology and microbiology, and highlights in particular the vulnerability of the karst to vario...
Prva monografija moderne dobe o »klasičnem« slovenskem krasu, o pokrajini kras. Knjigo je napisala skupina slovenskih strokovnjakov, ki se vsak v okviru svoje stroke ukvarjajo s Krasom. Besedilo v angleškem jeziku je pisano strokovno, vendar tudi dovolj poljudno, tako da je razumljivo vsakomur. V knjigi so poudarjene naravoslovne značilnosti, predvsem tiste, ki so za kras bistvenega pomena – kamen in voda – (to je geološke, hidrološke, morfološke in speleološke značilnosti) in povezanost človeka s krasom (etnologija, tradicionalna arhitektura). Delo je ilustrirano z več kot 200 ilustracijami, kartami, preglednicami, grafikoni in skicami.
Au xxe siècle, la reconnaissance de soi comme exploration des contours identitaires met en ?uvre la fragmentation du sujet et de la vie. Dans la profusion des genres qui caractérise ces textes de re-création du Moi, l'inscription autobiographique s'exprime à travers roman, journal intime, fable, conte fantastique ou BD. Du mariage polygame au port du foulard, la difficile condition de femme s'affiche par le déni d'obéissance dans une recherche jubilatoire de désir et de liberté. Être de l'errance et du voyage, la femme s'y affirme contre l'enfermement, entre tradition et modernité, par une écriture du détour qui réinvente les rapports entre l'intime et la société comme leur mise en ?uvre, dans un véritable transbordement de soi, chez Linda Lê, Ken Bugul, Marjane Satrapi, Andrée Chédid, Ananda Dévi, Maïssa Bey, Koné Alimatou et Fatou Fanny Cissé.
