Carbon Management for Promoting Local Livelihood in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region

  • Type: Book
  • -

  • Publisher: Springer

This book contributes to our understanding of linkages between carbon management and local livelihoods by taking stock of the existing evidence and drawing on field experiences in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region, an area that provides fresh water to more than 2 billion people and supports the world’s largest population of pastoralists and millions of livestock. This edited volume addresses two main questions: 1. Does carbon management offer livelihood opportunities or present risks, and what are they? 2. Do the attributes of carbon financing alter the nature of livelihood opportunities and risks? Chapters analyze the most pressing deficiencies in understanding carbon storage in both soils and in above ground biomass, and the related social and economic challenges associated with carbon sequestration projects. Chapters deliver insights to both academics from diverse disciplines (natural sciences, social sciences and engineering) and to policy makers.

Comprehensive Chinese Materia Medica

Through an immense feat of coordinated scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s, the Nánjīng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine collected and identified items used in indigenous Chinese healing practices, providing information about their origins, properties, applications, chemical composition, and classical records. This project led to the publication in 1977 of the Zhōng Yào Dà Cí Diǎn (中药大辞典, “The Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinals”), which describes 5,767 animal, vegetable, and mineral items used in classical Chinese medicine and in Chinese folk medicine. Since China occupies a vast territory spanning numerous climatic zones, some of these items are familiar to fol...

In her rebirth, Lin Chuyu was very clear on the steps to take revenge. False cousin, tear off your mask! Fake scum, I caused you to lose your reputation! She wanted to use her relatives to send them flying with a single slap! However, she had treated Xie Wang a little better for the sake of repaying his debt of gratitude. Why did he think that I wanted to marry him? Wei Linyuan said, "Lin Chuyu, are you smiling at me because you like me?!" "Lin Chuyu, you intentionally approached me, did you fall in love with me!" "Lin Chuyu, why are you wearing so little? Are you trying to attract my attention!" Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly marry you. Three children are enough... Lin Chuyu said, "Hey, hey, wake up. I'm smiling at everyone! I approached you because I wanted to repay your kindness. I'm wearing so little ... It's because I'm taking a bath in my room while riding a horse! " Wei Linyuan: "I don't care. In any case, you admire me, so I'm going to marry you." "But I'm in hell." "Then I'll go with you. If you block a ghost, kill a ghost; if you block a Buddha, kill a Buddha!"

Men and Women in Qing China is an analysis of Chinese prescriptions of gender as represented in Cao Xueqin's famous eighteenth century Chinese novel of manners, The Red Chamber Dream or The Story of the Stone. Drawing on feminist literary critical methods it examines Qing notions of masculinity and femininity, including themes such as bisexuality, motherhood, virginity and purity, and gender and power. Its central aim is to challenge the common assumption that the novel represents some form of early Chinese feminism by examining the text in conjunction with historical data. The book will be especially important to those interested in issues of gender in China, the history of Chinese literary criticism and the application of feminist theory to the Asian text.
