Climate hazards are the world's most widespread, deadliest and costliest natural disasters. Knowledge of climate hazard dynamics is critical since the impacts of climate change, population growth, development projects and migration affect both the impact and severity of disasters. Current global events highlight how hazards can lead to significant financial losses, increased mortality rates and political instability.
This book examines climate hazard crises in contemporary Asia, identifying how hazards from the Middle East through South and Central Asia and China have the power to reshape our globalised world. In an era of changing climates, knowledge of hazard dynamics is essential to mitigating disasters and strengthening livelihoods and societies across Asia. By integrating human exposure to climate factors and disaster episodes, the book explores the environmental forces that drive disasters and their social implications. Focusing on a range of Asian countries, landscapes and themes, the chapters address several scales (province, national, regional), different hazards (drought, flood, temperature, storms, dust), environments (desert, temperate, mountain, coastal) and issues (vulnerability, development, management, politics) to present a diverse, comprehensive evaluation of climate hazards in Asia. This book offers an understanding of the challenges climate hazards present, their critical nature and the effort needed to mitigate climate hazards in 21st-century Asia.
Climate Hazard Crises in Asian Societies and Environments is vital reading for those interested and engaged in Asia's development and well-being today and will be of interest to those working in Geography, Development Studies, Environmental Sciences, Sociology and Political Science.

Описание: Das Taschenbuch, das jeder lesen muss, der etwas ueber Scrum wissen moechte.Es umfasst alle Rollen, Regeln und die grundlegenden Prinzipien von Scrum, basierend auf dem Scrum Guide von 2016. Durch die Beschreibung der Vergangenheit und Zukunft von Scrum wird darueber hinaus ein weitergehender Kontext aufgespannt.Der Autor Gunther Verheyen hat eine praezise, vollstaendige und leidenschaftliche Referenz zu Scrum geschrieben. Dabei vermittelt das Buch seine Einschaetzung von Scrum als Weg der Entdeckungen und Freude. Durch seinen Aufbau eignet es sich als hilfreicher Wegweiser auf diesem Weg.Nach Aussage von Ken Schwaber, dem Mitgestalter von Scrum, ist dieses Buch momentan die beste Beschreibung von Scrum. Das Buch verbindet einige seltene Merkmale:¢ Es beschreibt Scrum als Ganzes, bettet es aber in den weiteren Kontext aus Vergangenheit und Zukunft ein.¢ Der Autor fokussiert darauf, Scrum auf eine Weise zu erklaeren, die den Leser unterstuetzt: Die Sprache und der Stil des Buchs entsprechen der Philosophie von Scrum.¢ Das Buch zeigt die Freude am Scrum-Spiel.David Starr und Ralph Jocham, Professional Scrum Trainer und langjaehrige Experten agiler Arbeitsweisen, halten es fuer das ultimative Buch, das sie den Teilnehmern ihrer Scrum Kurse, aber auch Teams und Fuehrungskraeften in den Organisationen, die sie im Umgang mit Scrum coachen, empfehlen.
Drought. Wildfire. Extreme flooding. How does climate change affect the daily work of scientists? Ecological restoration is often premised on the idea of returning a region to an earlier, healthier state. Yet the effects of climate change undercut that premise and challenge the ways scientists can work, destabilizing the idea of “normalcy” and revealing the politics that shape what scientists can do. How can the practice of ecological restoration shift to anticipate an increasingly dynamic future? And how does a scientific field itself adapt to climate change?
Restoration efforts in the Columbia River Basin—a vast and diverse landscape experiencing warming waters, less snowpack, and greater fluctuations in precipitation—may offer answers to some of these questions. Shana Hirsch tells the story of restoration science in the basin, surveying its past and detailing the work of today’s salmon habitat restoration efforts. Her analysis offers critical insight into scientific practices, emerging approaches and ways of thinking, the incorporation of future climate change scenarios into planning, and the ultimate transformation—or adaptation—of the science of ecological restoration. For scientists and environmental managers around the globe, Anticipating Future Environments will shed light on how to more effectively cope with climate change.

Understanding Present and Past Arctic Environments: An Integrated Approach from Climate Change Perspectives provides a fully comprehensive overview of the past, present and future outlook for this incredibly diverse and important region. Through a series of contributed chapters, the book explores changes to this environment that are attributed to the effects of climate change. The book explores the current effects climate change has had on Arctic environments and ecosystems, our current understanding of the effects climate change is having, the effects climate change is having on the atmospheric and ocean processes in this region.
The Arctic region is predicted to experience the earliest and most pronounced global warming response to human-induced climatic change, thus a better understanding is vital.
Описание: This book explores how climate institutions in industrialised countries work to further recognition of social differences and integrate this understanding in climate policy making. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate politics, international relations, gender studies and policy studies.

Описание: Wheat is an important cereal food crop ranked as the third-largest crop produced worldwide. The vulnerability in wheat production due to changing climatic scenarios are seen worldwide. This book enlightens the readers with the wheat crop history of its cultivation practices, pre-breeding, agronomic practices, genetics, and breeding, different types of wheat and their utilization. This book is an ideal resource that encompasses challenges associated with changing climate and wheat production. The abiotic and biotic stresses that are affecting wheat crop yield and approaches to combat the issue are also worth reading. This book has been designed to suit the knowledge and pursuit of the researcher and scholars and to empower them with various aspects of the production of wheat so that they are updated with the information. I hope that the readers find the book explanatory and insightful and that this book is referred by the scholars working for wheat improvement.
