This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De siste årene har økosystemtjenester kommet inn som et nytt og viktig begrep i miljøarbeidet. I denne rapporten oppsummeres prosjektet "Kulturarv som økosystemtjeneste. En mulighetsstudie", hvor sammenhenger, muligheter og begrensinger i grensesnittet økosystemtjenester og kulturarv diskuteres. Rapporten sammenstiller kulturminneforvaltningens verdikategoriseringssystemer med økosystemtjenestetilnærmingens begrep "kulturelle tjenester". En diskusjon av kvalitativ, kvantitativ og monetær verdsetting leder til erkjennelsen at verdisetting av kulturarv og økosystemtjenester ikke kan erstatte hverandre, men supplere hverandre. Samtidig understrekes nødvendigheten av å tenke helhetlig i natur- og kulturminneforvaltningen. Kulturhistorisk og økologisk forståelse vil sammen kunne styrke en bærekraftig forvaltning av landskapet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialist John Paul Getty famously quipped, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” Throughout history, natural resources have been sources of wealth and power and catalysts for war and peace. The case studies gathered in this innovative volume examine how the intersection of ideas, interest groups, international institutions, and political systems gave birth to distinctive regulatory regimes at various times and places in the modern world. Spanning seven continents and focusing on both advanced and developing economies, it offers unique insights into why some resource-rich countries have flourished while others have been mired in poverty and corruption.

Download or read book Gemmology written by P. G. Read and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gemmology is a text for students preparing for the Gemmological Association's Preliminary and Diploma examinations. The book is more expansive and up-to-date than the author's earlier book, Beginner's Guide to Gemmology. The book deals with the practical and theoretical sides of gemmology. Tracing the background and science of gemmology, the book covers the gem material, geological formation, and occurrence of gemstones on the earth. The composition of gemstones from the atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds comprising them is analyzed, and the relationship between chemical composition and durability of the stone is explained. The basics of crystallography is mentioned as a tool toward understanding gemmology after which cleavage, parting, and fracture are done. A gemstone's durability and hardness and how the latter influences engineering tests and the mining techniques are compared. An important test technique to identify unmounted stones is the measure of specific gravity using displacement measurement methods and hydrostatic methods. After more descriptive details are given in identification of gemstones, whether these are synthetic or simulants, through a comprehensive explanation of the materials found in these other gemstones, the fashioning, through shaping or polishing, of gemstones is explained. Emphasis is given on the critical angle in which light rays pass in different rock densities, and then the cutting styles, gemstone polishing, and grading are discussed. Students studying for the Gemmological Association's Preliminary and Diploma examinations, jewelers, lapidarists, and diamond cutters, as well as those engaged in the hobby of gemmology, will find this book helpful and full of information toward their endeavors and hobbies.
