Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bouvet Island, also known as Bouvetøya in Norwegian, is a volcanic island located in the southernmost part of the Atlantic Ocean. The island is situated halfway between Antarctica and Africa, and it is the most remote island in the world. It is an uninhabitable and isolated place, surrounded by rough seas, strong winds, and intense cold. It is also one of the most difficult places to reach on Earth, mainly due to its harsh weather and its remoteness. Bouvet Island was discovered by a French explorer named Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier in 1739. The island is of volcanic origin and is uninhabitable, with few observations made on it in the modern era. Norway claimed the island in 1927 and established a research station on it in 1977. Today, it is an important site for scientific research and ecological studies, as it provides scientists with a unique opportunity to study the biodiversity of a remote and untouched ecosystem. Despite its inaccessibility, Bouvet Island is a popular destination for adventurers and explorers who are drawn to its rugged and barren beauty.

Download or read book History of Bouvet Island a Lecture written by Frederick Davis and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Bouvet Island, a Lecture, The Secret of Bouvet Island. A History Deep beneath the South Atlantic, the Bouvet Island is described as one of the most isolated locations on the Earth and the nearest land mass is Antarctica. It is over 1,700 km further down south and no one has inhabited the island and as plant life does not seem to be sustainable there, it is unlikely of anyone ever going there. But a British expedition which arrived from South Africa in 1964 discovered an abandoned lifeboat in a lagoon on the island and not far from the boat were oars, wood, a drum and a copper tank. The boat did not seem to have any identification marks on it and so could not be traced to any nation or shipping company

Download or read book The Cambridge History of the Second World War Volume 2 Politics and Ideology written by Richard Bosworth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from the front in order to sustain moral and influence international opinion. Part II looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war and wartime diplomacy as well as examining the way in which neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume concludes by assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collaborators and resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects.

Download or read book Flightless Birds written by Clive Roots and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 2006-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We share the earth with a wide variety of animal species, each of which brings something special to the diversity of the planet. By knowing more about how animals behave and live, we gain a greater understanding of how life evolved and the importance of biodiversity. This volume provides a complete guide to those birds that have evolved a trait that would seem to harm their ability to survive - flightlessness. Flight has its advantages - why would some birds be flightless? Flightless Birds covers the loss of flight in birds, both permanently after years of evolution, and temporarily as a result of unusual molting behavior, and those species that are in various stages of losing their flight. The book provides a thorough guide, perfect for research papers in biology classes, for understanding the behavior and biodiversity of a fascinating and unusual group of animals. Flightless Birds includes sections on the major groups of flightless birds: Rarities whose ancient ancestors were on the continents when they broke away millions of years ago, and who survived despite competing with mammals; birds that were marooned on islands in the ocean, where food was plentiful and predators absent; penguins, which evolved alongside seas teeming with food and had no need to fly, and the special case of New Zealand's many flightless species which evolved in a predator-free paradise but could not cope with the settlers and their alien animals; and the many species which have become extinct within historic times. Beautifully illustrated, with numerous color photos, Flightless Birds provides copious material for understanding these unusual animals.
Download or read book Sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands written by Monique Chemillier-Gendreau and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exceptional volume deals with the hotly contested legal status of the Paracels and the Spratlys, two inhospitable archipelagos located in the South China Sea, sovereignty over which is disputed by several states. The author investigates the contribution which international law can make towards determining the rights of all parties involved. In order to do so she goes back into history to find out at each stage what the actual situation was and what its legal significance was in terms of the legal categories of the time. The originality of this work, compared to others already published on this topic, lies in its analysis of the valuable French archives. Not only these archives, but also existing legal writings have served as a basis for the investigation into the status of the archipelagos. The book sheds new and significant light on this important question.
