The Routledge Handbook of Landscape Ecology

The Routledge Handbook of Landscape Ecology

The Handbook provides a supporting guide to key aspects and applications of landscape ecology to underpin its research and teaching. A wide range of contributions written by expert researchers in the field summarize the latest knowledge on landscape ecology theory and concepts landscape processes methods and tools and emerging frontiers. Landscape ecology is an interdisciplinary and holistic discipline and this is reflected in the chapters contained in this Handbook. Authors from varying disciplinary backgrounds tackle key concepts such as landscape structure and function scale and connectivity; landscape processes such as disturbance flows and fragmentation; methods such as remote sensing and mapping fieldwork pattern analysis modelling and participation and engagement in landscape planning; and emerging frontiers such as ecosystem services landscape approaches to biodiversity conservation and climate change. Each chapter provides a blend of the latest scientific understanding of its focal topics along with considerations and examples of their application from around the world. An invaluable guide to the concepts methods and applications of landscape ecology this book will be an important reference text for a wide range of students and academics in ecology geography biology and interdisciplinary environmental studies. | The Routledge Handbook of Landscape Ecology

Audio Power Amplifier Design

Audio Power Amplifier Design

This is the essential book reference for amplifier designers. Douglas Self covers all the design issues of noise distortion power supply rejection protection reliability and layout. He describes advanced forms of compensation that give dramatically lower distortion. This edition is much expanded and packed with new information. It is a must-have for audio power amplifier professionals and audiophiles amateur constructors and anyone with intellectual curiosity about the struggle towards technical excellence. New to the sixth edition: The characteristics of the audio signal The principles of distortion Feedback intermodulation distortion Non-switching output stages VAS distortion explained Push-pull VAS configurations Output-inclusive compensation In addition five amplifier design examples that illustrate important design principles are examined and measured in detail. These can be straightforwardly adapted to specific requirements. This new edition also includes a wealth of material on the XD crossover-displacement principle (invented by the author and in use by Cambridge Audio) four-stage amplifier architectures error correction current-mirrors power transistors with internal sensing diodes amplifier bridging input-stage-common-mode distortion amplifier stability output stages with gain inrush current suppression DC servo design thermal protection cooling fan control advanced line input stages testing and safety infrared remote control signal activation 12V trigger control the history of solid-state amplifiers and much more. Simple procedures for heatsinking and power supply design are given. | Audio Power Amplifier Design

Routledge Handbook of Climate Change Impacts on Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities

Routledge Handbook of Climate Change Impacts on Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities

This Handbook examines the diverse ways in which climate change impacts Indigenous Peoples and local communities and considers their response to these changes. While there is well-established evidence that the climate of the Earth is changing the scarcity of instrumental data oftentimes challenges scientists’ ability to detect such impacts in remote and marginalized areas of the world or in areas with scarce data. Bridging this gap this Handbook draws on field research among Indigenous Peoples and local communities distributed across different climatic zones and relying on different livelihood activities to analyse their reports of and responses to climate change impacts. It includes contributions from a range of authors from different nationalities disciplinary backgrounds and positionalities thus reflecting the diversity of approaches in the field. The Handbook is organised in two parts: Part I examines the diverse ways in which climate change – alone or in interaction with other drivers of environmental change – affects Indigenous Peoples and local communities; Part II examines how Indigenous Peoples and local communities are locally adapting their responses to these impacts. Overall this book highlights Indigenous and local knowledge systems as an untapped resource which will be vital in deepening our understanding of the effects of climate change. The Routledge Handbook of Climate Change Impacts on Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities will be an essential reference text for students and scholars of climate change anthropology environmental studies ethnobiology and Indigenous studies.
