Описание: Abstract: The Everglades is a unique wetland ecosystem. During this century, the ecosystem has been partitioned for disparate uses of human habitation, agriculture, water conservation and ecosystem conservation in a national park. The sustainability of Everglades National Park is dependent upon upstream water sources. Water management in the Everglades and water deliveries to the Park are linked to human perceptions of ecosystem dynamics. One line of inquiry used expansion of a state-of-the-art computer model to examine the upstream area that once contributed water to the Park. Linkages between vegetation and hydrology were added as vegetation mediation of evapotranspiration and flow and hydrologically induced vegetation changes, but neither addition appreciably improve understanding of hydrodynamics in the Everglades system at the scale of the model. Prior to management, the entire system, south of Lake Okeechobee, contributed flow to Everglades Park except during dry years. Since the onset of intensive water management, an equivalent area of only about one-third of the historic drainage basin has supplied water into the Park. But these conclusions are dependent upon the assumptions made to represent the system at a specific spatial-temporal scale in a model. At other scales the conclusions could well be different. That led to the second major topic of this thesis; that of cross-scale structure and dynamics. A cross-scale mode of inquiry suggests that ecosystems exhibit discontinuities in spatial structures and temporal patterns across time and space due to the interaction of key processes operating over different scale ranges. Spatial patterns in the topography, vegetation and fire data sets exhibited scale regions of self-similarity separated by distinct breaks. Temporal patterns of rainfall, stage, flow, evaporation and sea-level exhibited multiple cycles. These analyses support the theory that ecosystems are structured around a few keystone variables of mixed spatial and temporal dimensions. Dramatic discontinuities appear in patterns as a result of the interactions of processes operating at different space and time domains. This emerging viewpoint of ecosystem structure and dynamics will hopefully provide a basis for new understanding and hence improved management of this unique ecosystem.

Описание: This is not a book about money; it's about contribution, about human greatness, and about true prosperity beyond money. This book is for people who see a greater purpose in being wealthy than in personal comfort, status, prestige, and an irresponsible sense of freedom. This book will help you eliminate scarcity in your life through an increased awareness and will help you cultivate a paradigm of abundance. Gunderson uncovers the truth about retirement planning, he outlines the philosophies and principles that true wealth is based upon, and his ideas will help you to practically apply those fundamentals utilizing appropriate products and strategies.

Описание:
"See2See Road Trip" was motivated by frustrations at how little anyone really learns from conference presentations or papers about the hard, demanding work people do on the ground. In projects, programs, groups, and movements, taken on because those on the ground love their communities enough to want to change the patterns of poor health or human conditions that hurt and harm those in their midst.
"We have get out from behind our screens and go talk to some humans," said Gary Gunderson in proposing the trip, "and not by going in large groups with microphones and PowerPoints. We have to go, learn, listen where the life of the community is trying to break through, and see how grown-ups look at each other and figure out what to do."
What the authors saw and heard, where we went, and what we learned as we travelled across the US South is what this book is about. Appropriately called "See2See," the journey began in San Diego, where the American Public Health Association was meeting, just as fires engulfed parts of California. It ended up some 3,400 miles and eighteen days later in Wilmington, NC, with the team from the local hospital that had been helping people weather the extended and extensive trauma of two massive hurricanes.
We cannot hope to capture the extraordinary richness of our encounters along the way but we can point a way that others might follow. And we tell stories, however brief, that should inspire you and renew your hope in the health of the public, at least where it matters most: on the ground.
Описание: This Guide was written not for the psychiatrist engaged in lengthy and complex psychotherapy with these patients but for the generalist who needs the basic skills to deliver good care to this sizeable patient population in need of help.
