Recycling, International Trade and the Environment: An Empirical Analysis
P.J. van Beukering Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792368983 |
Book Description
During the last century international trade has become indispensable for many economies. This is not only the case for trade in primary raw materials and consumer products but also for secondary (recyclable) materials. With the rapid growth of the recycling sector worldwide, trade in recyclables increased tremendously. It is striking that most of this trade flows from developed to developing countries. This book addresses the main causes of this typical trade pattern and investigates its economic and environmental effects by carrying out case studies on waste paper imports in India, waste plastics imports in China, and used-tyre trade in Europe. The book concludes by recommending policies that are aimed at preventing negative economic and environmental effects potentially resulting from trade in recyclables. The book offers new ideas to researchers who are involved in international trade, material flows, and waste management, and provides new insights for decision-makers who are interested in WTO and the Basel Convention.

Anticipations of Einstein in the General Theory of Relativity
Christopher Jon Bjerknes Manufacturer: XTX Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0971962960 |
Book Description
In 1997, amid much fanfare, Leo Corry announced to the world that he had uncovered proof that Albert Einstein arrived at the generally covariant field equations of gravitation, before David Hilbert. Leo Corry joined with Juergen Renn and John Stachel and published an article in the journal "Science" arguing against Hilbert's priority. Their claims were largely based on a set of printer's proofs of David Hilbert's 20 November 1915 Goettingen lecture, which Corry had uncovered. However, in this 1997 article, "Belated Decision in the Hilbert-Einstein Priority Dispute," Corry, Renn and Stachel failed to disclose the fact that these printer's proofs were mutilated, and are missing a critical part. Full disclosure of the facts reveals that even in their mutilated state, these proofs prove that Hilbert had a generally covariant theory of gravitation before Einstein, and that Einstein plagiarized these equations from Hilbert. The author of "Albert Einstein: The Incorrigible Plagiarist" focuses in on the general theory of relativity and discredits the baseless historical revisionism of Leo Corry, Juergen Renn and John Stachel. The direct comparison of primary source material demonstrates that Albert Einstein did not originate the theory of relativity. Formal mathematical proofs explain how Einstein was forced to fudge his equations in order to derive the results Paul Gerber and Johann Georg von Soldner had published long before him. Einstein did not yet have the benefit of plagiarizing David Hilbert's generally covariant field equations of gravitation and was operating under an erroneous assumption. An extensive history of the principle of equivalence proves that Einstein plagiarized this idea. The book reprints the relevant papers by Einstein, Soldner, Gerber, and Hilbert, as well as the remainder of David Hilbert's mutilated printer's proofs of his article "The Foundations of Physics". While the book presents the mathematical proofs needed to justify its claims, the non-mathematical reader will find it rich in prose and will be able to follow the arguments and the history presented.Customer Reviews:

The Tory View of Landscape (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in Britis)
Nigel Everett Manufacturer: Paul Mellon Center BA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0300059043 |
Book Description
This illuminating and stimulating book argues that the history of English landscape from about 1760 to 1820 reflected a struggle between proponents of a traditional, natural, Christian, organic-or tory-view of the landscape versus those who advocated the aggressive, privatizing, impersonal-or whig-tendencies of contemporary "improvement". Examining literature, painted and engraved images, and the physical environment of the period, Nigel Everett depicts a lively, intelligent debate about the development of English society and the relation of people to the land.

excellent little guide to regional tracks.......2003-08-08
The book begins with a preface of enouragement followed by an introduction on how to use the book and where/how to look for tracks, continues with 2-page species entries, and concludes with a short suggested reading list and an index.
Entries are ordered roughly by size, and a 5-inch ruler is printed on the back cover. Each entry has a couple of descriptive paragraphs on the lefthand page and b&w line drawings of typical tracks on the right.
This little book is surprisingly informative and quite compact -- a perfect introductory book for kids or adults who are interested in the wildlife around them.

Birder's Guide to New Hampshire (Aba Birdfinding Guide)

Customer Reviews:
Book is excellent guide to NH birding and NH's quiet beauty.......1999-12-19
Just a couple of cautions: Each tour can take as long as three or four days to complete properly. You'll lose that "essence" in a big hurry if you decide that the seacoast is great, but maybe that trip down the Androscoggin River can be done by the end of the day! The areas that are mentioned are not always connected by major interstate highways.
A good bird picture guidebook is recommended, such as "Peterson's Field Guides: Eastern Birds" if you want to actually identify birds. While we aren't particularly good at that (and often make fools of ourselves misidentifying bird species), it's still fun to try.
Other books on nature and birding in New Hampshire can be found But I would highly recommend this book to add to your collection of books of northeastern natural sites.
