Book excerpt: Although there is a growing awareness about the many benefits of protected areas, concrete information about their full economic value is still scarce. This book provides a comprehensive method whereby all functions and values of natural and semi-natural ecosystems can be assessed and evaluated in a systematic manner. A checklist of 37 environmental functions is given with examples of the functions and socio-economic value of three major types of ecosystems: tropical moist forests, wetlands and an oceanic island ecosystem: the Galapagos National Park. In order to achieve the conservation and sustainable utilization of nature and natural resources, better information on the (economic) value of natural areas alone, however, is not enough. Unless ecological information is structurally integrated in the planning and decision-making process solving the environmental problems of today will prove difficult, if not impossible. In the last chapter of the book examples are therefore given of how the environmental function-concept can be used as a tool in environmental planning, management and decision-making, and stresses the need for "ecologizing" economic theory and practice.

Download or read book The Social Function of Science written by J. D. Bernal and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2010 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. D. Bernal's important and ambitious work, The Social Function of Science, was first published in January 1939. As the subtitle -What Science Does, What Science Could Do - suggests it is in two parts. Both have eight chapters. Part 1: What Science Does: Introductory, Historical, The Existing Organization of Scientific Research in Britain, Science in Education, The Efficiency of Scientific Research, The Application of Science, Science and War and International Science. Part 11: What Science Could Do: The Training of the Scientist, The Reorganization of Research, Scientific Communication, The Finance of Science, The Strategy of Scientific Advance; Science in the Service of Man, Science and Social Transformation and The Social Function of Science. To quote Bernal's biographer, Andrew Brown, 'The Social Function of Science . . . was Bernal's attempt to ensure that science would no longer be just a protected area of intellectual inquiry, but would have as an inherent function the improvement of life for mankind everywhere. It was a groundbreaking treatise both in exploring the scope of science and technology in fashioning public policy, with Bernal arguing that science is the chief agent of change in society, and in devising policies that would optimize the way science was organized. The sense of impending war clearly emerges. Bernal deplored the application of scientific discoveries in making war ever more destructive, while acknowledging that the majority of scientific and technical breakthroughs have their origins in military exigencies, both because of the willingness to spend money and the premium placed on novelty during wartime.' Anticipating by two decades the schism C. P. Snow termed 'The Two Cultures', Bernal remarked that 'highly developed science stands almost isolated from a traditional literary culture.' He found that wrong. Again, quoting Andrew Brown, 'to him, science was a creative endeavour that still depended on inspiration and talent, just as much as in painting, writing or composing.' The importance of this book was such that twenty-five years after its publication, a collection of essays, The Science of Science, was published, in part in celebration, but also to explore many of the themes Bernal had first developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law for Society: Nature, Functions, and Limits offers an illuminating conceptual framework that looks at five basic legal instruments with which the law addresses the problems and goals of society. For any Introduction to Law course or as secondary reading in political science, criminal justice, or general studies, Law for Society breaks down the very concept of “law” to answer the questions: What is law? How does law work? What can law do and not do? The book addresses the nature of law, its problem-solving functions, and the limits on what law can accomplish.

Download or read book Algebraic Geometry and Theta Functions written by Arthur B. Coble and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1929-12-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of extending and deepening all questions from algebraic geometry that are connected to the central problem of this book: the determination of the tritangent planes of a space curve of order six and genus four, which the author treated in his Colloquium Lecture in 1928 at Amherst. The first two chapters recall fundamental ideas of algebraic geometry and theta functions in such fashion as will be most helpful in later applications. In order to clearly present the state of the central problem, the author first presents the better-known cases of genus two (Chapter III) and genus three (Chapter IV). The case of genus four is discussed in the last chapter. The exposition is concise with a rich variety of details and references.
