Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. Traces the rise of small, entrepreneurial airlines that served isolated communities and tourist destinations across the country. It covers operators like Southern Scenic Air Services in Queenstown, Tourist Air Travel in Auckland, Amphibian Airways, Trans Island Airways, and Golden Coast Airways. These companies often flew amphibious planes, vintage aircraft, and light twin-engine models, adapting to rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. Waugh and his co-authors—Bruce Gavin, Peter Layne, and Graeme McConnell—combine technical detail with storytelling, highlighting the personalities behind the planes, including legendary pilots like Fred Ladd. The book includes maps, facsimiles, and colour and black-and-white photographs. It also documents notable incidents, such as the 1961 Aero Commander crash involving Captain Alf Bartlett, and includes appendices on surviving aircraft and specific models like the de Havilland DH89B Dominie. …

There is a photograph of each, along with details of its construction and a foreword written by Patrick Moore. In addition to providing a fascinating study for its own sake, Small Astronomical Observatories offers a unique fund of ideas and practical details for anyone who wants to build an amateur or small professional observatory. ; Contents: A Practical Roll-off Roof Observatory in Michigan, USA / Dennis Allen -- Mount Tuffley Observatory in Gloucester, England / John Fletcher -- A Solar Observatory with a Slide Roof in Jordanstown, Northern Ireland / Bruce Hardie -- The Edenvale Observatory in Edenvale, South Africa / M.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stunning gathering of creative nonfiction, research, and poetry, Sensoria will broaden the moral imaginations of its readers and challenge conventional worldviews about human relations to the nonhuman world.Humans, along with all other creatures, are an entanglement of sensual relations, shaping and shaped by our somatic engagement with the world.The essays and poetry of Sensoria transport readers into compelling stories and ethical reflections that stretch the limits of the moral imagination, calling attention to the wondrous ways in which humans and other-than-human beings experience and perceive the world, not just through the senses but within them.By exploring the sensorium among all forms of life endowed with different kinds of consciousness and communicative abilities, this volume highlights ecologically and socially diverse ways of touching the world with mind, and touching mind with the world.The sensory faculties are inherently about the capability of paying attention to other beings and forces that share our planet and whose lives are interwoven with our own.For each of the five senses, the contributors to Sensoriaincluding music composer David Rothenberg, historian of color Carolyn Purnell, bio-philosopher Andreas Weber, filmmaker Kalyanee Mam, neuroethologist Bill Hansson, travel writer and novelist Nick Hunt, and religious scholar Graham Harveyexplore and illuminate the biology and neurology of sensation as well as the imaginative possibilities for understanding the senses.This timely volume offers readers new ways of understanding relations in everyday encounters that link our inner and outer awarenessembodied experiences that shape what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and the way these perceptions can help us to attend more closely and respectfully to the lifeworlds of other-than-human creatures.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "This collection feels medicinal and miraculous all at once. . . This is not just 'nature writing.' This is cosmic writing."Robert Moor, bestselling author of On Trails: An ExplorationFor readers of Sand Talk, Braiding Sweetgrass, and Sounds Wild and BrokenFrom the Center for Humans and Nature, publisher of the award-winning anthology series Kinship, comes a new anthology series on the Elementals, a five-volume collection of essays, poetry, and stories that illuminate the dynamic relationships between people and place, human and nonhuman life, mind and the material world, and the living energies that make all life possible.For millennia, humans have sought to identify and understand the most essential aspects of nature. Of enduring fascination are the four material elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. All living beings owe their own existence and well-being to these everlasting movements of matter and flows of energy. Inspired by these powerful categories, the Elementals series asks: What can the vital forces of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire teach us about being human in a more-than-human world Elementals explores how people from various cultures across the planet have worked with these powerful forces of change and regeneration to shape landscapes and deepen personal and place-based relationships. More than 90 contributors?including Tyson Yunkaporta, Lyanda Fern Lynn Haupt, Sean Hill, David George Haskell, and Robin Wall Kimmerer?invite readers to consider the ways the elementals flow through our relations with a more-than-human world.Contents.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book identifies lessons learned from natural hazard experiences to help communities plan for and adapt to climate change. Written by leading experts, the case studies examine diverse experiences, from severe storms to sea-level related hazards, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, floods, earthquakes and tsunami, in North America, Europe, Australasia, Asia, Africa and Small Island Developing States. The lessons are grouped according to four imperatives: (i) Develop collaborative governance networks; (ii) build adaptive capabilities; (iii) invest in pre-event planning; and (iv) the moral imperative to undertake adaptive actions that advance resilience and sustainability.'A theoretically rich and empirically grounded analysis of the interface between disaster risk management and climate change adaptation, comprehensive yet accessible, and very timely.' Mark Pelling, Department of Geography, King's College London, UK. 'This book represents a major contribution to the understanding of natural hazards planning as an urgent first step for reducing disaster risk and adapting to climate change to ensure sustainable and equitable development.' Sálvano Briceño, Vice-Chair, Science Committee, Integrated Research on Disaster Risk IRDR, an ICSU/ISSC/ISDR programme. Former Director International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, UNISDR.'What a welcome addition to the young literature on climate adaptation and hazard mitigation! Bruce Glavovic and Gavin Smith each bring to the editing task a rare blend of solid scholarly attainment and on-the-ground experience that shines through in this extensively-documented synthesis of theoretical ideas from the realms of climate and hazards and their validation in a rich set of diverse case studies pulled in from around the world. This book should remain a classic for many years.' William H. Hooke, American Meteorological Society.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Techniques and theory for processing otoliths from tropical marine fish have developed only recently due to an historic misconception that these organisms could not be aged. Otoliths are the most commonly used structures from which daily, seasonal or annual records of a fish's environmental history are inferred, and are also used as indicators of migration patterns, home range, spatial distribution, stock structure and life history events. A large proportion of projects undertaken on tropical marine organisms involve removal and processing of calcified structures such as otoliths, statoliths or vertebrae to retrieve biological, biochemical or genetic information. Current techniques and principles have evolved rapidly and are under constant modification and these differ among laboratories, and more particularly among species and within life history stages.Tropical fish otoliths: Information for assessment, management and ecology is a comprehensive description of the current status of knowledge about otoliths in the tropics. This book has contributions from leading experts in the field, encompassing a tropical perspective on daily and annual ageing in fish and invertebrates, microchemistry, interpreting otolith microstructure and using it to back-calculate life history events, and includes a treatise on the significance of validating periodicity in otoliths.…
