ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1985). 1985 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 235mm). Ppxvi,238. B/w photographs and illustrations, pictorial end-papers. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Foxing to edges. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. "Roderick Langmere Haig-Brown, writer, magistrate, angler, conservationist, was well-known to many readers in North America and other English speaking areas of the world. His books on fishing. brought him the accolade of 'the Isaac Walton of North America.' His home on the banks of Campbell River, in British Columbia, which he and his wife named Above Tide, has become virtually a shrine for visitors who knew him through his books or in his many activities as Chancellor of the University of Victoria, member of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission, public speaker or simply as a friend. But all this made up only the public man, and that was not the whole man. For this biography, E. Bennett Metcalfe went to Haig-Brown's most intimate beginnings and experiences, found access to his diaries and letters and school life and studied the man's social and political context in order to locate and examine clues to the man behind the image. Metcalfe's own life and experiences as a writer, social activist and observer brought to this work an uncommon knowledge and sensitivity to produce an intensely fascinating and delicately intimate story of a life." .…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book summarizes approaches that integrate the environmental, economic, and physical domains with the values, and needs of the population are necessary to develop sustainable strategies that will enhance the resilience of small islands, within the context of inter-island differences in geology, ecology, societal attitudes, governance, and human and economic resources. The impacts of coastal damage and flooding are predicted to worsen during this century due to rising sea levels and increases in the frequency and intensity of storms. The usual approach to coastal protection in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean is to view both the hazards and the solutions from the Ocean Side perspective and to react with hard engineering solutions. These structural engineering approaches prevent damage and disruptions to services associated with predictable events but leave communities vulnerable to future events that do not follow historical trends. Furthermore, engineered structures do not adequately address the systemic nature of climate change nor account for compounding threats (e.g., coincidence of hurricane season and global pandemics). To move from this traditional strategy for managing risks from coastal hazards, we need to consider a portfolio of solutions that enhance island protection and community resilience. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are gaining attention as practical and cost-effective approaches for mitigating climate-based stressors. However, deployment of NBS strategies requires spatial coordination within the context of ridge to reef or integrated water resource management (IWRM) approaches that include the creation of conditions for social acceptance, equity, effective governance, and financial incentives.
