Download or read book Ocean Governance written by Stefan Partelow and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book on Ocean Governance examines sustainability challenges facing our oceans today. The book is organized into three sections: knowledge systems, policy foundations and thematic analyses. The knowledge produced in the book was catalyzed by the scientific outcomes within the European-funded Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) network “Ocean Governance for Sustainability – Challenges, Options and the Role of Science”. This network brings together scientists, policy-makers and civil society representatives from 28 nation states to cooperate on ocean governance research. This book offers a compilation of new research material including focused case studies, broad policy syntheses and reflective chapters on the history and current status of knowledge production systems on ocean governance. New research material is presented, although some chapters draw on secondary sources. The book starts with synthetic review chapters from the editors, outlining past and present knowledge systems, addressing how and why ocean governance for sustainability is where it currently stands with critical reflections on existing narratives, path dependencies and colonialist histories. This is followed by chapters addressing, synthesizing and analyzing different legal and policy frameworks for ocean governance both regionally and internationally. At the core of the book are the thematic analyses, which provide focused case studies with detailed contextual information in support of different ocean governance challenges and sustainability pathways around the world. The book concludes with a chapter explicitly targeting students, researchers and policy-makers with key take-away messages compiled by the editors.

Download or read book James Joyce Roma y Otras Historias written by Giuseppe Cafiero and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "James Joyce, Roma e altre storie" descrive i mesi in cui scrittore irlandese James Joyce ("Ulisse", "Finnegans Wake", "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"), ha vissuto a Roma, tra il 1906 e il 1907. E' un rendiconto degli incontri tra Joyce e il detective Herr David Mondine, delle lettere scritte dal Mr. Joyce al suo fratello Stanislaus e di un diario tenuto da Herr Mondine, che costruisce una coinvolgente narrazione di quei giorni. Joyce, frustrato dalla vita che conduceva a Trieste - allora parte dell'Impero d'Austria-Ungheria - fugge, con Miss Nora Barnacle, una moglie non sposata, e con il loro figlioletto Giorgio, a Roma per una nuova avventura pur detestando questa città così devota a un ritualismo volgare e a una smodata pompa liturgica. Mr. Joyce si aggirerà per la città di Roma come un spaesato visitatore catturato da luoghi che trova orribili e spettrali e che si accontenta di sostare piacevolmente in taverne e locande per mangiare e bere. Nel suo vagabondare Joyce tratteggia sovente affascinanti analogie tra la sua nativa Dublino e Roma, fra una città legata a vecchi e bizzarri miti e un'altra segnata da glorie mummificate tra maestose rovine e orribili edifici eretti in onore di un nuovo secolo. "Il libro è arricchito da ben 140 foto d'epoca che mostrano personaggi e luoghi frequentati da James Joyce e da Mr. Davide Mondine, il suo alter ego" +++ "James Joyce, Roma y otras Historias" describir los meses en que el autor irlandés James Joyce ("Ulises", "Finnegans Wake", "Retrato del Artista como un Hombre Joven") vivió en Roma, entre 1906 y 1907. Narraciones de los encuentros entre Mr. Joyce y el detective Herr David Mondine, y las cartas escritas por Mr. Joyce a su hermano Stanislaus, así como el diario escrito por el Sr. David Mondine constituyen una emocionante reconstrucción de esos días. Joyce se siente frustrado con su vida en Trieste -entonces parte de Austria-Hungría y hoy parte de Italia-así que, acompañado por su mujer Nora Barnacle y su pequeño hijo Giorgio, sale huyendo de esa ciudad puerto en el Adriático en busca de nuevas aventuras en Roma, esa capital tan Católica, a la que llega a aborrecer por su vulgar ritualismo e inmoderada pompa litúrgica. Mr. Joyce vaga como un nómada de corazón capturado por una ciudad que encuentra horrenda y fantasmal y pasa el tiempo en tabernas y hosterías, comiendo y bebiendo. El artista encuentra fascinantes similitudes entre su nativa Dublín y Roma, hija legítima de una ciudad de mitos viejos y glorias momificadas, establecida entre ruinas majestuosas y edificios ridículos erigidos en honor de un nuevo siglo. El libro se enriquece con unas 140 fotografías antiguas que muestran a personas y lugares frecuentados por James Joyce y el Sr. David Mondine, su alter ego.
Download or read book Udayana written by Udai Prakash Arora and published by Anamika Pub & Distributors. This book was released on 2007 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt: ...Among them a few more or less slender, smooth amphioxi occur, but these are probably immature spicules. The length and curvature of the amphistrongyli varies considerably, but the average measurements are about 0.28 x 0.024 mm. The flesh-spicules also vary greatly in length and in the degree to which their shafts are curved. At first sight it seems to be possible to separate them into two categories, one in which the shaft is about 0.159 mm. long, and another in which it is only 0.05 mm. or even less; and groups of birotulates of approximately the same length often occur in the interstices of the skeleton. Spicules of all intermediate lengths can, however, be found. The average diameter of the shaft is 0.0026 mm. and of the rotula 0.0106 mm., and the rotula consists of from 6 to 8 spines. The gemmule-spicules vary greatly in size, the longest measuring about 0.08 x 0.014 and the smallest about 0.034 x 0.007 or even less. There appears to be in their case an even more distinct separation as regards size than there is in that of the flesh-spicules; but here again intermediate forms occur. They are all stout, more or less blunt, and more or less regularly covered with very short spines; most of them are distinctly curved, but some are quite straight. Gemmules. The gemmules are firmly adherent to the support of the sponge, at the base of which they are congregated in groups of four or more. They vary considerably in size and shape, many of them being asymmetrical and some elongate and sausage-shaped. The latter consist of single gemmules and not of a pair in one case. Extreme forms measure 0.38 x 0.29 and 0.55 x 0.25. Each gemmule is covered with a thick chitinous membrane in close contact with its wall and surrounding it completely. This membrane is full of spicules arranged as in a mosaic; most or all of them belong to the smaller type, and as a rule they are fairly uniform in size. Separated from this layer by a considerable interval is another...

This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Antiquity, the Black Sea region was a meeting point for several different population groups with diverse cultural backgrounds. The present monograph takes its point of departure in burial data from four coastal localities in the northern region of the Black Sea. The mortuary practices are decoded and interpreted within a framework mainly based on concepts of cultural interaction rather than cultural polarisation. Thus, the dogma of 'The Greeks and the Others' is challenged, and alternative perceptions of interactions between the people in the Black Sea region form the basis of the study. The burials are primarily analysed with emphasis on social strategies and cultural diversity. Furthermore, the Black Sea region is set into a comparative perspective through an outlook on burial customs and mortuary practices in the colonial milieus of contemporary Southern Italy.
Download or read book Migrancy and Multilingualism in World Literature written by K. Alfons Knauth and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the third in a series of four on the general issue of Multilingualism in World Literature, is focused upon the relationship between Migrancy and Multilingualism, including its aquatic, terrestrian and globalizing imagery and ideology. The cover picture Wandering Tongues, an iconic translation of the book's title, evokes one of the paradigmatic figures of migrancy and multilingualism: the migrations of the early Mexican peoples and their somatic multi-lingualism as represented in their glyphic scripts and iconography. The volume comprises studies on the literary, linguistic and graphic representation of various kinds of migrancy in significant works of African, American, Asian and European literature, as well as a study on the literary archetype of human errancy, the Homeric Odyssey, mapped along its periplum and metamorphosis in world literature. Ping-hui Liao is Chuan Lyu Endowed Chair Professor and Head of Cultural Studies at the Literature Department of the University of California in San Diego (USA). K. Alfons Knauth is Professor of Romance Philology at the Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum (Germany). The introduction and five of the twelve chapters are in English; the rest are in German, French, Italian, and Spanish. (Series: poethik polyglott, Vol. 3) [Subject: Literature]
Download or read book EL VERDADERO DIABLO written by Duncan Heaster and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El origen esencial del mal y del pecado humano es en verdad una pregunta profunda; pero sólo cuando la enfrentamos nos sentimos capacitados para encargarnos del pecado y del mal, y encontrar un camino de victoria. Culpar de todo a un Diablo personal con cuernos, cola y tridente me parece que es una forma de escapismo, de evadir el asunto, recurriendo rápidamente a una respuesta simplista, pero equivocada. Especialmente cuando se ha entendido que realmente esta idea del Diablo no se halla en ningún pasaje de la Biblia, sino que es más bien una acumulación de siglos de especulación y adaptación de mitos paganos. En el capítulo 1, procuro demostrar que esto es en verdad lo que ha sucedido. En todo ese capítulo y en los que siguen, procuro demostrar cómo el pueblo de Dios lamentablemente aceptó muchos de los mitos circundantes acerca de una figura de Satanás; pero los escritores de la Biblia procuraron activamente deconstruir los mitos por medio de aludir a ellos y dejar al descubierto su falacia.
