Download or read book The Geography of Georgia written by Igor V. Bondyrev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the political and economic history and geography of Georgia, the problems it has faced, and how it has overcome and is still overcoming them. In most countries, at the end of the 20th century the successful resolution of social-economic, political, demographic and ecological problems was largely dependent on effectively protecting the population and economic assets from natural disasters and on ensuring conditions for their sustainable development. These problems are most acute in mountainous regions like Georgia, where the unplanned development of natural ecosystems has had drastic consequences. It is therefore necessary to understand not only the probability of changing conditions (natural as well as political and demographic), but also the probability of the resulting economic losses. The book is divided into four sections; historical and political geography, geological processes, ecological processes and developmental geography. In the historical and political geography section the authors present a detailed discussion on ancient history, historical and political geography, ethnic groups and religions, demographics and socio-cultural geography. The geological processes section contains information on geology, geodynamical processes, glacial and periglacial processes. The ecological processes section examines a variety of landscapes and ecosystems, aspects of deforestation, reforestation and desertification along with anthropogenic impacts on the environment. The developmental geography section looks at different economies, natural resources, sustainable development and climate change.

Book excerpt: "The goal of this study is to document the primary weather observational path at Savannah, GA leading to the Weather Bureau observing program in the first half of the 20th Century. Descriptions of Savannah weather observations since around 1950 are available through easily obtainable climatic records, with the challenge being to identify and define the roots of the path that began in the 1800s and continued through times of significant transition in the early 1900s. Extrinsic observations, i.e., those by Smithsonian and Voluntary (or Cooperative) observers, are considered in relation to the beginning of the central observational stream eventually established by the Army surgeons, Signal Service, or Weather Bureau. This does not minimize the importance of these collateral observations, but rather focuses on the original events that led to the routine, formal weather observing program of modern times"--Introduction.

Download or read book Introduction to South Georgia written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Georgia is a remote, sub-Antarctic island located around 1400km southeast of the Falkland Islands. The island is a British Overseas Territory and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including seals, penguins, and albatrosses. Its history is closely linked to the whaling industry, and there are still remnants of the industry visible on the island, including old whaling stations and equipment. Today, South Georgia is a popular destination for tourists interested in wildlife and adventure, offering opportunities for hiking, camping, and kayaking. Despite its remote location, South Georgia has played a significant role in global history. The island was first discovered in 1675 by the English explorer Anthony de la Roché, and it became a popular stop for whalers in the early 19th century. During World War I, South Georgia was a critical link in the British supply chain, as it was used as a base for the Royal Navy's Southern Ocean fleet. Later, in 1982, the island played a role in the Falklands War, as British forces used it as a staging point for their invasion of the Falkland Islands. Overall, South Georgia is a unique and fascinating place with a rich cultural and ecological history.

Download or read book The Spatio temporal Evolution of Irrigation in the Georgia Coastal Plain written by Marcus De'andre Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural landscapes comprise up to 40% of global land cover and population growth increases the need to grow current levels of agriculture. Irrigated agriculture increased globally during the last century as a result of improved technology. The impacts of this rapid expansion have been the focal point of many studies, but very few have focused on the southeastern United States. Irrigation impacts the hydrologic cycle and surface energy budget through increased evapotranspiration as a result of increased surface moisture. Georgia has experienced rapid growth in irrigated area since the early 1970s with most irrigated lands being converted from previously un-irrigated agriculture. The overarching goal of this research addresses irrigation-hydroclimate relationships in the southeastern United States, with a primary focus on southwest Georgia. While there is regional dependence on the beneficial effects of increased irrigation to improve agricultural yield, there is limited refereed literature on the influence of expansion of irrigation on Georgia's climate. The analysis conducted uses remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies to quantify past and current spatio-temporal trends in irrigated acreage in Georgia. The identification of these trends allows for the assessment of the impacts of irrigation on local to regional hydroclimate through observation and modeling analysis.

Download or read book Georgia Odyssey written by James C. Cobb and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia Odyssey is a lively survey of the state’s history, from its beginnings as a European colony to its current standing as an international business mecca, from the self-imposed isolation of its Jim Crow era to its role as host of the centennial Olympic Games and beyond, from its long reign as the linchpin state of the Democratic Solid South to its current dominance by the Republican Party. This new edition incorporates current trends that have placed Georgia among the country’s most dynamic and attractive states, fueled the growth of its Hispanic and Asian American populations, and otherwise dramatically altered its demographic, economic, social, and cultural appearance and persona. “The constantly shifting cultural landscape of contemporary Georgia,” writes James C. Cobb, “presents a jumbled panorama of anachronism, contradiction, contrast, and peculiarity.” A Georgia native, Cobb delights in debunking familiar myths about his state as he brings its past to life and makes it relevant to today. Not all of that past is pleasant to recall, Cobb notes. Moreover, not all of today’s Georgians are as unequivocal as the tobacco farmer who informed a visiting journalist in 1938 that “we Georgians are Georgian as hell.” That said, a great many Georgians, both natives and new arrivals, care deeply about the state’s identity and consider it integral to their own. Georgia Odyssey is the ideal introduction to our past and a unique and often provocative look at the interaction of that past with our present and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in the breathtaking Caucasus Mountains between the Black and the Caspian Seas, the country of Georgia sits at the crossroads between Europe and Asia; it has gone through more turbulence and change in the last twenty five years—the casting off of the Soviet regime, a civil war, two ethno-territorial conflicts, economic collapse, corruption, government inefficiency, and massive emigration—than most countries go through in 250 years. This small nation's strategic location at the crossroads of different civilizations has been a curse as well as a blessing. Once a battlefield between the ancient empires and the Christian and Islamic worlds, today it is caught between its NATO aspirations and its location in Russia’s backyard. Yet, despite all challenges and hardships, this resilient and ancient country, with thousands of years of winemaking, three-thousand years of statehood, and almost two millennia of Christianity, continues to survive and thrive. This book uses its chronology; glossary; introduction; appendixes; maps; bibliography; and over 900 hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects to trace Georgia's history and predict its future. This historical dictionary is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Georgia.
