AltaMira Press Inuit Whaling and Sustainability
Book SynopsisThis study shows how efforts to curb the wanton slaughter of whales has impacted most severely on the Inuit subsistence hunters, whilst completely failing to stop the industrialized slaughter of whales "for research".Trade ReviewThis is an exceptional book. . . a rare initiative in the field of Arctic cultural ecology combined with clear-eyed and forthright confrontation of issues. . . . The provenance of the book is impressive. The authors are internationally respected experts in the field....The straightforward assertions of the Inuit quoted, most of them speaking contemporarily in this last decade of the millennium, arrest the eye, challenge the conscience, evoke respect, and generate desire for policy reform and international action that will recognize the indigenous rights and sustainable feasibility of Inuit whaling....The book is well-illustrated...[and] has significant implications for people concerned with socioeconomic, ecological and human rights issues not only in the Arctic, but in many other settings in the world. * Practicing Anthropology *A composite work by a panel of authors (including natural resource management scholar Milton M. R. Freeman and renowned Russian Arctic anthropologist Igor I. Krupnik), the text does a remarkably successful job in presenting a trans-regional (Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian) aboriginal perspective on the highly emotional debate concerning whaling and the indigenous whale fishery; <... the text does serve a useful purpose in articulating a position-that of indigenous peoples -which is largely underrepresentedin mainstream western media....For a medium compendium of indigenous arctic whale techniques, Inuit, Whale, and Sustainability in a very good place to begin... -- Eric Wilson * The Great Circle, Vol. 21, No. 2, 1999 *This book is a well-organized presentation of arguments and issues from a perspective that has so far been very limited in print format, making for an intellectually and ethically stimulating read. Bibliographic references are recent and from a wide variety of sources. The reviewer strongly recommends this book to those interested in environmental ethics and natural resource management. The reader will gain access to an Inuit perspective generally not available and a greater understanding and appreciation for their culture. -- Raquel Roizman, (University of Northern British Columbia) * Natural Resources Forum 24 *Inuit, Whaling, and Sustainability makes a persuasive case for attending to the specific needs of Inuit communities in the future regulation of whaling. One hopes that its arguments will actually reach the policymakers whose decisions impact so decisively on these indigenous groups. -- Noel Castree, Professor of Geography, University of Manchester * Ecumene, (4) *The authors demonstrate that whaling provides and requires reinforcement of traditional patterns of obligation/connectedness, leadership, maintenance of cultural connections, validation of elders, and spiritual satisfaction; in addition, Inuit hunting knowledge is essential to understanding sustainable whale management. * CHOICE *It challenges some of the stereotypes prevalent in Southern metropoles concerning the nature of the Inuit-whaling relationship and precisely what the category of aboriginal whaling should consist of a valuable addition to reading lists on the international politics of whaling and a very refreshing read. -- David Scrivner, (Keele University)A composite work by a panel of authors (including natural resource management scholar Milton M. R. Freeman and renowned Russian Arctic anthropologist Igor I. Krupnik), the text does a remarkably successful job in presenting a trans-regional (Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian) aboriginal perspective on the highly emotional debate concerning whaling and the indigenous whale fishery; the text does serve a useful purpose in articulating a position-that of indigenous peoples -which is largely underrepresented in mainstream western media....For a medium compendium of indigenous arctic whale techniques, Inuit, Whale, and Sustainability in a very good place to begin. -- Eric Wilson * The Great Circle, Vol. 21, No. 2, 1999 *This volume is an important contribution to the history of the American West because it puts the cultural anthropology of the American Inuit people into a clear and accessible light. -- Michael Dyer * Journal of the West *

A S M International Schey's Tribology in Metalworking: Friction,
Book SynopsisSchey's Tribology in Metalworking: Friction, Lubrication, and Wear is an update to the seminal text Tribology in Metalworking by John Schey, originally published by ASM International in 1983.The 1983 first edition served as a recognized essential resource for researchers in the fields of manufacturing tribology and metal forming for many decades. This 2023 update preserves the essential information in that first edition but provides a thorough update, including a description of the significant advances in tribological research and detailed information for every metal forming process.The tribology of metal forming is very different from other sub disciplines of tribology such as in machine design, micromachine or biomedical applications. Metalforming tribology requires understanding of the implications of elevated temperature and the lubricants that are suitable at those temperatures; the complex interactions between oxide-free workpiece and tooling; the use of conversion coatings or engineered surfaces to help entrain lubricant in demanding applications; the use of emulsions, solid lubricants, cryogenics, and phase change lubricants; contact mechanics for plastically deforming workpieces; and many other considerations.The book is written in an approachable, practical style and each chapter has hundreds of references. Chapters and sections are logically arranged, and the comprehensive indexes are complete. Topics covered include fundamentals of metalworking; surfaces and friction; wear; theory of lubrication; metalworking lubricants; measurement techniques; rolling; drawing; extrusion; forging; sheet metalworking; metal removal; and much more.Author Steven R. Schmid is a Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and has performed research on metalworking tribology for 30 years. He has won numerous best paper and teaching awards and served as President of the North American Manufacturing Research Institute from 2015 to 2016 and an International Delegate to SME from 2019 to 2020. He received the SME Gold Medal in 2019, a lifetime achievement award from MESIC (Spain) in 2020, and the David Dornfeld Innovation Award in 2023.

Clarendon Press Georgics
Book SynopsisVirgil''s Georgics, by common consent one of the greatest poems in western literature, purports to be a didactic poem on agriculture, but its true subject is man and his place in literature and society. It is also a landmark in the use of the natural world as material for literature, and in the history of man''s attitude towards his environment. The object of this commentary is to present the poet''s meaning and (as far as possible) his choice of expression in the hope of achieving fuller understanding and enjoyment of the poetry. The volume includes the late Sir Roger''s Oxford Classical Text of the Georgics together with apparatus criticus, as well as an appendix of Greek sources. After Mynors''s death (in 1989) R. G. M. Nisbet added a short Preface to the Commentary and compiled an index.Trade Reviewlong-awaited commentary ... invaluable * Classical Outlook *in this great and glowing commentary he has given us a sunlit view of one of the richest poems ever written * David West, The Times *

Cambridge University Press Conflicts in Conservation Navigating Towards Solutions Ecological Reviews
Book SynopsisConflicts over the conservation of biodiversity are increasing and are serious obstacles to wildlife conservation efforts worldwide. Changing patterns in land use, over-exploitation, pollution, climate change and the threat posed by invasive species all challenge the way we currently maintain and protect biodiversity - from the local management of single species to the international management of resources. Integrating approaches from different academic disciplines, policy makers and practitioners, this volume offers a radically new, cross-disciplinary, multi-scale approach to deal with conflicts. Groundbreaking strategies for conservation are analysed and a large section of the book is devoted to exploring case studies of conflict from around the world.
