Christopher White, "The Melting World: A Journey Across America's Vanishing Glaciers"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0312546289 | 298 pages | EPUB | 2.3 MB
Global warming usually seems to happen far away, but one catastrophic effect of climate change is underway right now in the Rocky Mountains. In The Melting World, Chris White travels to Montana to chronicle the work of Dan Fagre, a climate scientist and ecologist, whose work shows that alpine glaciers are vanishing rapidly close to home. For years, Fagre has monitored the ice sheets in Glacier National Park proving that they-and by extension all Rocky Mountain ice-will melt far faster than previously imagined. How long will the ice fields survive? What are the consequences on our environment? The Melting World chronicles the first extinction of a mountain ecosystem in what is expected to be a series of such global calamities as humanity faces the prospect of a world without alpine ice.

The Local Budget as a Complex System
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030949028 | 161 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book examines budgeting by analyzing the local government budget as a complex system, thus adding a new dimension to traditional budget textbooks. It is designed to complement existing texts-not replace-by putting the budget in a complex system, general equilibrium framework. A complex systems framework adds to conventional budget analysis in at least four ways: It looks at the budget as the result of many variables that are outside the finance department's purview; it understands that there are multiple interdependences among these variables; it suggests analysis of non-obvious relationships among actions in the budget process in order to optimize results; and it argues that the actors in the process must understand that their budgetary behaviors have indirect and far-reaching implications that go beyond the budget document.

Strukturanalyse der Gegenwart
Deutsch | 2022 | ISBN: 3658282525 | 393 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
Strukturfragen und Funktionsprobleme der modernen Gesellschaft sind für René König ein Leitthema, das in den unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhängen immer wieder auftaucht, wenn er sich konkreten inhaltlichen Problemfeldern der Gesellschaft in einer soziologischen Gegenwartsanalyse zuwendet Dabei hat König keine systematische Strukturanalyse der Gesellschaft betrieben, auch hat er die Gesellschaft nicht einer abstrakten strukturell-funktionalen Betrachtung unterzogen. In systematischen Beiträgen oder gelegentlich auch beiläufigen Aufsätzen zu den Themen Massengesellschaft und Zeitbewusstsein, Konsum und Ernährung, Alter, Jugend und Geschlecht, entfaltet sich vor allem im Zusammenhang von Industrialisierung und Technikentwicklung sowie unter dem übergeordneten Fokus des sozialen Wandels eine prägnante, konsistente und kontinuierliche Analyse gesellschaftlicher Strukturzusammenhänge, mit denen König "soziologische Orientierung" in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft vermitteln wollte. Zusätzlich enthält der Band Königs Beiträge zur Sozialpsychologie und Psychoanalyse.
