Limnology Climatology and Paleoclimatology of the East African Lakes The large lakes of the East African Rift Valley are among the oldest on Earth and are vital resources for the people of their basins. They are unique among the large lakes of the world in terms of their sensitivity to climatic change rich and diverse populations of endemic species circulation dynamics and water-column chemistry and long continuous records of past climatic change. A comprehensive study of the large African lakes is long overdue. The scientific justification for such an effort is noted in the previous paragraph and is illustrated in great detail in this volume. Societal need for the sustainable utilization of these lakes offers an even more compelling reason for examination of biological food webs water quality and past climate variability in East Africa. The lakes provide the most important source of protein for the people of the African Rift Valley and fish populations are shifting dramatically in response to fishing pressure introduction of exotic species land use impact on water quality and perhaps climatic change. Current estimates of primary productivity the underpinning of the food resource are extremely crude and based on only a few spot measurements. | Limnology Climatology and Paleoclimatology of the East African Lakes GBP 56.99 1

Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies This book looks at how to build more resilience into socio-economic networks within local communities. Understanding the relationships between attachment to place complex systems and patterns of knowledge creation is not straightforward but these relationships are emerging as the challenges that we face in bridging the gap between the social worlds that we inhabit and an emerging digital world. These issues have been brought into even sharper focus through changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. On the one hand forced familiarity with communication technologies is driving globalisation forwards whilst on the other the crisis has created awareness of dependencies and heightened desires for more local solutions. Plenty of books have been written about the rise of digital networks and the decline of local communities. This book takes a radical approach by identifying how these trends fit together and provides examples of how digital networks can be made to work for the local as well as the global economy. Using a case study approach the book offers a clear-sighted view of the role of relational capital in specific places and organisations and shows the transformational impact that they can have at a micro level. The book deliberately seeks to shake up preconceived ideas and is ideal for strategy practitioners and policy makers within governments and NGOs involved in connecting local to wider network economies. | Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies GBP 44.99 1
