The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents

The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
Cindy Lee Van Dover, "The Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents"
English | ISBN: 0691049297 | 2000 | 448 pages | PDF | 34 MB
Teeming with weird and wonderful life-giant clams and mussels, tubeworms, "eyeless" shrimp, and bacteria that survive on sulfur-deep-sea hot-water springs are found along rifts where sea-floor spreading occurs. The theory of plate tectonics predicted the existence of these hydrothermal vents, but they were discovered only in 1977. Since then the sites have attracted teams of scientists seeking to understand how life can thrive in what would seem to be intolerable or extreme conditions of temperature and fluid chemistry. Some suspect that these vents even hold the key to understanding the very origins of life. Here a leading expert provides the first authoritative and comprehensive account of this research in a book intended for students, professionals, and general readers. Cindy Lee Van Dover, an ecologist, brings nearly two decades of experience and a lively writing style to the text, which is further enhanced by two hundred illustrations, including photographs of vent communities taken in situ.

The Design of Learning Spaces

The Design of Learning Spaces
Pamela Woolner, "The Design of Learning Spaces "
English | ISBN: 1855397749 | 2010 | 144 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Learning can take place anywhere. So does the detail of the physical surroundings provided by schools matter? After many years of minimal investment in school premises, schools in the UK are in the midst of a wave of planning, building and using new schools. This includes all English secondary schools, being renewed through Building Schools for the Future (BSF), as well as schemes for English primaries and programmes of school construction in Scotland and Wales. Starting from an educational perspective, and building on work in architectural design, Pamela Woolner gives an overview of current issues in the design of learning environments, covering the physical design of spaces and how that design impacts on the organisation of people in schools, their relationships and their teaching and learning. Filling the gap in understanding and knowledge between the worlds of architecture and education, this is essential reading for school leaders and all those engaged in thinking about how school design might be planned and arranged to facilitate learning and teaching.

The Creation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy A Hungarian Perspective

The Creation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy A Hungarian Perspective
Gábor Gyáni, "The Creation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy: A Hungarian Perspective "
English | ISBN: 1032049146 | 2021 | 352 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Recent collection of essays discusses the historical event and the multifarious consequences of the 1867 Compromise (Ausgleich, Settlement), conducted between the Habsburg monarch, Francis Joseph and the Hungarian political ruling class. The whole story has usually been narrated from a plainly Cisleithanian viewpoint. The present volume, the product of Hungarian historians, gives an insight into both the domestic and the international historical discourses about the Dual Monarchy. It also reveals the process of how the 1867 Compromise was conducted, and touches upon several of the key issues brought about by establishing a constitutional dual state in place of the absolutist Habsburg Monarchy. The emphasis is laid not on describing and explaining the path leading to the final and "inevitable" break-up of the Dual Monarchy, but on what actually held it together for half a century. The
