This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Download or read book Los desastres en los archivos c mo planificarlos una gu a en siete pasos written by Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez and published by . This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un siniestro es la situación más crítica a la que puede enfrentarse un centro documental. La segunda guerra mundial, los conflictos balcánicos o el hundimiento del Archivo Histórico de Colonia son ejemplos bien conocidos de una larga lista de desolación que ha diezmado el precioso legado de nuestros antepasados. Sus causas son muy variadas, pero, en cualquier caso, generan procesos de alteración violentos que, en pocas horas, son capaces de destruir completamente documentos, depósitos y archivos enteros. No todos los desastres son inevitables. La mayoría podría haber sido controlada mediante procesos de valoración y corrección de riesgos conocidos como planificación de siniestros o gestión de desastres. Basados en metodologías empleadas en la protección civil, engloban técnicas de prevención y de conservación con las que es posible evitar incendios, inundaciones o cualquier otro tipo de fenómeno destructivo. Además, permiten establecer protocolos de trabajo y reunir los recursos necesarios para actuar correctamente en la protección y salvamento de la documentación. Este manual es una guía práctica. Mediante siete pasos consecutivos apoyados en cuadros resumen y formularios personalizados, facilita la redacción de planes de desastre a la medida de los diferentes tipos de archivo, independientemente de sus recursos o de su tamaño. Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez es licenciado en geografía e historia y diplomado en la especialidad de documento gráfico de la Escuela Superior de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales de Madrid.

Su labor investigadora se ha centrado en la recuperación de técnicas de encuadernación antigua en pergamino, historia de los criterios de intervención en restauración documental y, en especial, en métodos de conservación preventiva y preservación de fondos documentales. Entre 1999 y el 2001, dirigió la reconstrucción de los servicios de Conservación de la Biblioteca Nacional Universitaria de Bosnia-Herzegovina en Sarajevo y ha participado en diferentes proyectos de cooperación en Cuba y Marruecos. Forma parte del grupo de investigación sobre el libro antiguo Bibliopegia, donde realiza una intensa labor de investigación en las estructuras de encuadernación.

Book excerpt: "Now in paperback, Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet surveys the energy driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape: Russia, the battered Cold War loser, is now the arrogant broker of Eurasian energy, and the United States, once the world's superpower, must now compete with the emerging "chindia" juggernaut for finite resources. Forecasting a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger, Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, argues that the only route to surival in our radically altered world lies through international cooperation"--Book cover

Download or read book The Translation of Films 1900 1950 written by Carol O'Sullivan and published by Proceedings of the British Aca. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich collection of articles and essays by film historians, translation scholars, archivists, and curators presents film translation history as an exciting and timely area of research. It builds on the last twenty years of research into the history of dubbing and subtitling, but goes further, by showing how subtitling, dubbing, and other forms of audiovisual translation developed over the first fifty years of the twentieth century. This is the first book-length study, in any language, of the international history of audiovisual translation which includes silent cinema. Its scope covers national contexts both within Europe and beyond. It shows how audiovisual translation practices were closely tied to their commercial, technological and industrial contexts. The Translation of Films, 1900-1950 draws extensively on archival sources and expertise. In doing so it revisits and challenges some of the established narratives around film languages and the coming of sound. For instance, the volume shows how silent films, far from being straightforward to translate, went through a complex process of editing for international distribution. It also closely tracks the ferment of experiments in film translation during the transition to sound from 1927 to 1934 and later, as markets adjusted to the demands of synchronised film. The Translation of Films, 1900-1950 argues for a broader understanding of film translation: far from being limited to language transfer, it encompasses editing, localisation, censorship, paratextual framing, and other factors. It advocates for film translation to be considered as a crucial contribution not only to the worldwide circulation of films, but also to the art of cinema.
