Product Description
Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways, causing lasting damage to our health and our environment. Whereas primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of the impact can be felt at spatial scales from the individual up to the whole planet, and temporal scales from minutes to decades. Consequently, pollution of our atmosphere remains a critical concern, warranting continued scientific investigation and the development of effective local and global solutions. The World Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution summarises our understanding of the state of air pollution on city to global scales.

Using high-quality graphical illustrations, the Atlas begins with a historical perspective before addressing topics such as urban and global air pollution, long-range transmission of pollution, ozone depletion and the impacts of air pollution, as well as future trends. Each chapter provides an introduction to the topic and graphical representations of the spatial and temporal distributions of air pollutants. Wherever possible, the chapters give a world-wide view of the state of our atmosphere. The illustrations are supported with explanations and other background material, allowing the reader to gain an informed insight to emission sources, the resulting atmospheric concentrations of key pollutants and their associated impacts. ...

Product Description
As Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) from 1976 to 1992, Mostafa K. Tolba had as much insight into, and influence on, the development of international environmental policy as anyone. In this book, he tells the story of the negotiations that led to a number of landmark agreements, such as the Vienna Convention on Ozone and its Montreal Protocol, the Basel Convention on Hazardous Wastes, and the Biodiversity Convention. The book stands as the legacy of an important and charismatic figure who played a pivotal role during the first phase of global environmental diplomacy.

Tolba concentrates on the context in which governments conclude that particular issues are ripe for binding international cooperation and on the factors that influence them during negotiations—such as science, the media, nongovernmental organizations, politicians, business and industry, and the public. The areas he discusses include the evolution of environmental law, environmental soft laws (principles and guidelines rather than treaties), binding regional regimes such as the Regional Seas Program and the Shared Freshwater Resources Program, the ozone layer, global warming, hazardous wastes, the loss of biological diversity, and ways to make international agreements work. ...

Good Introduction
This book seems useful in that the author provides us comprehensive information of the multinational negotiations that the UNEP deeply got involved in the past. Yet, for those who expect the author to disclose some inside stories of the UNEP, this book might be a bit unsatisfactory. ... Read more

Excerpt: Octavio Paz Lozano (March 31, 1914 April 19, 1998) was a Mexican writer, poet, and diplomat, and the winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature. Paz was born to Octavio Paz Solórzano and Josefina Lozano. His father was an active supporter of the Revolution against the Diaz regime. Paz was raised in the village of Mixcoac, (now a part of Mexico City) by his mother Josefina (daughter of Spanish immigrants), his aunt Amalia Paz, and his paternal grandfather, Ireneo Paz, a liberal intellectual, novelist, publisher and former supporter of President Porfirio Díaz. He studied at Colegio Williams. Because of his family's public support of Emiliano Zapata they were forced into exile after Zapata's assassination. They served their exile in the United States. Paz was introduced to literature early in his life through the influence of his grandfather's library, filled with classic Mexican and European literature. During the 1920s, he discovered the European poets Gerardo Diego, Juan Ramón Jiménez, and Antonio Machado, Spanish writers who had a great influence on his early writings. As a teenager in 1931, under the influence of D. H. Lawrence, Paz published his first poems, like Cabellera. Two years later, at the age of 19, Octavio Paz published Luna Silvestre ("Wild Moon"), a collection of poems. In 1932, with some friends, he founded his first literary review, Barandal. By 1939, Paz considered himself first and foremost a poet.. In 1935, Paz abandoned his law studies and left for Yucatán to work at a school in Mérida for sons of peasants and workers. There, he began working on the first of his long ambitious poems, Entre la piedra y la flor ("Between the ston...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=162510 ... Read more

Extrait : Andrés Manuel del Río Fernández (10 novembre 1764 à Madrid-23 mars 1849 à Mexico), chimiste et géologue qui découvrit l'élément chimique Vanadium. Andrés del Río étudie la chimie analytique et la métallurgie en Espagne, où il est né. Il obtient sa licence de l'Université d'Alcalá de Henares en 1780. Il obtient une bourse du gouvernement pour entrer à l'école des mines d'Almadén où il se montre brillant. Il se rend ensuite à Paris, où il suit les cours de Jean d'Arcet. Il poursuit ses études à l'École des mines de Freiberg, en Allemagne, sous la direction d'Abraham Gottlob Werner. A Freiberg il fait la connaissance du Baron Alexander von Humboldt. Il retourne ensuite à Paris comme étudiant d'Antoine Lavoisier, il collabore également avec l'abbé René Just Haüy, (père de la cristallographie). Durant la Révolution française Lavoisier, que l'on considère comme le fondateur de la chimie moderne, est guillotiné. Del Río est contraint de fuir vers l'Angleterre. En 1792 le Real Seminario de Minería (École des Mines) est fondé en Nouvelle-Espagne par un décret du roi Charles III d'Espagne, avec pour but de réformer l'étude des mines et de la métallurgie dans la colonie. L'institution est d'abord dirigée par Fausto de Elhúyar (1755-1833), le découvreur du tungstène. Le jeune del Río est nommé à la chaire de chimie et de minéralogie. Il arrive à Veracruz le 20 octobre 1794, sur la San Francisco de Alcántara depuis Cadix. À ce poste, del Río se consacre à l'enseignement et à la recherche.
