Zustand: NEW. 320, . 198x129mm. PB. NEW. . 'A must read for all wildlife lovers' Dominic Dyer Foxes, buzzards, crows, badgers, weasels, seals, kites - Britain and Ireland's predators are impressive and diverse and they capture our collective imagination. But many consider them to our competition, even our enemies. The problem is that predators eat what we farm or use for sport. From foxes and ravens attacking new-born lambs to weasels eating game-bird chicks, predators compete with us, putting them directly into the firing line. Farming, fishing, sport and leisure industries want to see numbers of predators reduced, and conservation organisations also worry that predators are threatening some endangered species. Other people, though, will go to great lengths to protect them from any harm. This clashing of worlds can be intense. So, what do we do? One of the greatest challenges facing conservation today is how, when and where to control predators. It is a highly charged debate. Mary Colwell travels across the UK and Ireland to encounter the predators face to face. She watches their lives in the wild and discovers how they fit into the landscape. She talks to the scientists studying them and the wildlife lovers who want to protect them. She also meets the people who want to control them to protect their livelihoods or sporting interests. In this even-handed exploration of the issues, Mary provides a thoughtful and reasoned analysis of the debates surrounding our bittersweet relationship with predators. [9780008354794].

Broschur Mehr als uns bewusst ist, sind wir bei allem, was wir tun, von Gefühlen geleitet (zum Beispiel Glücks-, Angst- oder subversiven Protestgefühlen) - auch und gerade dort, wo wir die Illusion hegen, vernünftiger Überlegung zu folgen oder gar unsere Emotionen 'kontrollieren' zu müssen. Fühlen begleitet den Lebensverlauf als ein nicht abreißender Strom (William James: Stream of Subjective Life). Gelegentlich ist er freilich nur ein kaum wahrnehmbares Rinnsal. Jedenfalls kann man nicht 'nicht fühlen'. Schon Sigmund Freud konstatierte, es sei »nicht bequem, Gefühle wissenschaftlich zu bearbeiten«. Ihr volatiler Charakter verweigert sich dem sprachlichen oder gar experimentellen Zugriff, der dennoch immer wieder versucht wird. Die gegenwärtig mächtig an Fahrt gewinnende psychologische 'Emotionsforschung' erscheint deshalb als fragwürdiges Unterfangen: an das Prozessgeschehen selbst kommt sie kaum heran (allenfalls an dessen neurophysiologische Korrelate); statt dessen produziert sie jede Menge »Scheingesims, das nichts trägt« (Ludwig Wittgenstein).

Zustand: New. 512, col figs. 216x149mm. PB. NEW. . A long-awaited volume in the New Naturalist series examining the trees of Britain.Trees are essential components to many of the landscapes of Britain and have been vital in determining the ecology of our planet as well as the development of human cultures and communities. Yet how much do we really understand about how they work? This comprehensive introduction to all aspects of tree biology and ecology presents the latest discoveries in this area. The wonders and mysteries of trees are explored throughout the book and questions such as why leaves turn spectacular colours in the autumn, how water reaches the top of the tallest trees, or why the study of genetics has caused so many name changes in trees are all brilliantly answered.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Walter Rodney was almost the same age as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr when he was assassinated on 13 June 1980 in Guyana at the age of 38. Throughout his short life, he waged a relentless battle against the horrors of capitalism, for which he should be revered as one of the great black leaders of the last century. Rodney is best known for his famous book How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, which he wrote in Tanzania in 1972. But he was also an influential Black Power advocate in Jamaica and in the final years of his life, he led a revolutionary struggle in Guyana. This short introduction is an overview of Rodney''s life, activism and political thought, which aims to preserve and promote his legacy. This book intends to encourage young black people especially to read about Rodney and how he used Marxism to understand racism and organise for black liberation.
