Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the remarkable journeys that ducks, geese, and swans undertake each year in search of suitable migratory stopover and wintering habitats. It delves into the seasonal challenges that dictate the lives of waterfowl, highlighting their mobility, evolved behaviors, and nutritional strategies that allow them to be successful in an ever-changing world. The narrative combines scientific insights with field observations, offering a detailed understanding of the remarkable adaptations of this heavily studied group of birds and the conservation efforts undertaken to ensure their sustainability.The book discusses the major migratory routes in North America, such as the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific Flyways, and how waterfowl rely on diverse wetlands and anthropogenically influenced landscapes as critical habitat. The importance of these habitats for feeding and resting is emphasized, as is the growing pressure from habitat loss and climate change.In addition, the book examines the unique behaviors of waterfowl during the non-breeding period. It shows that wintering areas are not just endpoints of migration but vital ecosystems where birds prepare for the next breeding cycle. The book also explains current conservation efforts aimed at non-breeding habitats, with a final chapter on future challenges and opportunities for waterfowl conservation.Overall, the book serves as a thoroughly researched synthesis of our historical and contemporary understanding of waterfowl as a group of species that have captivated humans for centuries and motivated unmatched levels of conservation investment. By weaving information on movement patterns, behaviors, habitat use, nutritional requirements, survival, and management strategies to address current and future threats, it underscores the interconnectedness of landscapes and the urgent need to protect them. Readers are left with a greater appreciation for the complexity of waterfowl during the nonbreeding period and the challenges waterfowl face in an increasingly human-altered world. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - More clinics and large practices are investing in Computed Tomography (CT) equipment, meaning veterinary surgeons are often confronted with unfamiliar technical challenges like positioning and handling of the equipment. Even after obtaining the CT images, the interpretation can often be confusing, particularly when surgeons are not used to reading axial and transverse images.Split into two parts, looking first at the principles of CT and then drilling down to specific procedures by body region, this book is packed with over 200 high quality images, practical protocols and easy-to-locate information. It provides much needed support in choosing the right equipment, providing the exact protocol and coming to a final diagnosis.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this new and improved fourth edition of the highly popular Game Engine Architecture, Jason Gregory draws on his two decades of experience at Midway, Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog to present both the theory and practice of game engine software development.
