This groundbreaking set offers the most up-to-date international overview of key issues in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. More than 70 countries are represented, with a resource guide for each country provided. A thumbnail country map accompanies each chapter. In some regions and countries, such as the Middle East, homosexuality is taboo and not officially acknowledged as existing. Information in these areas and countries is hard to find or does not exist yet. In the West, information on LGBT issues is much more available. Yet to date, there has been no reference that covers LGBT issues worldwide - until now. The material in this set is especially needed in a cultural climate that supports and informs about LGBT populations. The content is useful for a paper on a hot topic, health classes, discussion groups, and gay/straight alliance groups. Each chapter devoted to a country offers standard coverage, which allows for comparison. The format per chapter includes the following essay sections: Overview; Education; Employment and Economics; Social/Government Programs; Sexuality/Sexual Practices; Family; Community; Law; Religion and Spirituality; Violence; and, Outlook for the 21st Century.

This book - an intellectual and political history of the ecology movement from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the present - provides the first thorough study of the origins and background of 'Green' politics which has in recent years carved out a significant political constituency throughout Europe and America. Anna Bramwell locates the roots of the ideas of the modern ecological movement in two distinct strands of the scientific community, the biological and economic, and then traces the intellectual contributions of biological and economic ecologists through movements in Germany and Britain during the twentieth century. She looks at the literary background ofecologism, focusing in particular on the works of Knut Hamsun and Henry Williamson, and describes the work of the most important biological ecologist, the German Ernst Haeckel. Bramwell then explores the German contribution to ecologism in science and literature, its existence as a hidden agenda in the Third Reich, and its cross-fertilization with Britain and America.

The longleaf pine ecosystem, once one of the most extensive ecosystems in North America, is now among the most threatened. Over the past few centuries, land clearing, logging, fire suppression, and the encroachment of more aggressive plants have led to an overwhelming decrease in the ecosystem’s size, to approximately 2.2% of its original coverage. Despite this devastation, the range of the longleaf still extends from Virginia to Texas. Through the combined efforts of organizations such as the USDA Forest Service, the Longleaf Alliance, and the Nature Conservancy, extensive programs to conserve, restore, and manage the ecosystem are currently underway.
The longleaf pine ecosystem is valued not only for its aesthetic appeal, but also for its outstanding biodiversity, habitat value, and for the quality of the longleaf pine lumber. It has a natural resistance to fire and insects, and supports more than thirty threatened or endangered plant and animal species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker and the gopher tortoise. |

This book deals with environmental and human risk problems caused by contamination from the perspective of real world applications with quantitative procedures. It includes risk methods for the discussion of environmental problems where data are sparse or fuzzy, as well as incorporating political, social and economic considerations in determining directions of remediation solutions for environmental contaminant problems. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of contaminants on human health, in some cases ultimately leading to death, as well as the anthropogenic exacerbation of natural processes. |

The Ecology of Mycobacteria principally emphasizes the ecological characteristics of the environmental mycobacteria. It is now well understood that the incidence and prevalence of potentially pathogenic mycobacteria is increasing in humans and animals. Further, proof that mycobacteria are normal inhabitants of drinking water distribution systems and household water systems, indicates that humans and animals are surrounded by mycobacteria and thus at risk. It is anticipated that the emphasis on ecology and routes of infection will result in a text of widespread use for clinicians and for research scientists in medicine, academia, and industry. In addition to identifying habitats and thereby sources of mycobacteria infecting humans and animals, the text identifies those mycobacterial characteristics that determine its range of habitats. Additionally, the text comments critically on the available methods to identify those protocols with values in mycobacterial research. In that manner, although there are no chapters specifically devoted to methods, superior methods for mycobacteria will be identified.

Tropical alpine environments (at altitudes above the closed canopy forest and below the limit of plant life) present an unusual set of complex stresses for plant species. Unlike temperate alpine environments, where there are distinct seasons of favorable and unfavorable conditions for growth, tropical alpine habitats present summer conditions every day and winter conditions every night. As a consequence, tropical alpine plant species have evolved unique forms for coping with such a hostile environment. Using examples from all over the tropics, this fascinating account reviews the unique form and functional relationships of tropical alpine plants, examining both their physiological ecology and population biology.
