ISBN10: 0643103686, ISBN13: 9780643103689, [publisher: Collingwood: CSIRO Publishing, 2011.] Softcover Quarto, paperback,442 pp.,tables, maps. WAS $50. This book analyses the IUCN status of all the species and subspecies of Australia's birds, including those of the offshore territories. For each bird the size and trend in their population and distribution has been analysed using the latest iteration of IUCN Red List Criteria to determine their risk of extinction. The book also provides an account of all those species and subspecies that are or are likely to be extinct. In this completely revised edition each account covers not only the 2010 status but provides a retrospective assessment of the status in 1990 and 2000 based on current knowledge, taxonomic revisions and changes to the IUCN criteria, and then reasons why the status of some taxa has changed over the last two decades. The book contains some surprises - some alarming, some encouraging. This is not a book of lost causes. It is a call for action to keep the extraordinary biodiversity we have inherited.

Und nichts gegen den Trend, sich immer offener dazu zu bekennen. Aber auch nach gelungener Operation bleiben da ein paar Probleme, die nicht mit behoben werden konnten: Im Haus ist es so ruhig, seit das jüngste Kind ausgezogen ist. Am Arbeitsplatz ist man inzwischen die Älteste, und ein Kollege hat neulich so getan, als sei man ein Fossil. Das Zusammenleben mit dem Partner war auch schon mal spannender. Und manchmal, fast heimlich, fragt man sich: „ War’s das etwa schon?" „ Von wegen!", sagen hier fünfzehn Frauen. Bei manchen von ihnen hat das Leben jenseits der Fünfzig erst so richtig an Fahrt gewonnen. Nie hätten sie sich träumen lassen, was sie alles können und wagen würden! Andere sind unfreiwillig oder zögernd in eine neue Lebenssituation getreten. Aber jetzt staunen sie über die gewonnene Freiheit und die Räume, die sich ihnen geöffnet haben. Neue Aufgaben wecken neue Kräfte und machen das Leben spannend. Das Leben ist lebenswert — erst recht nach dem 50. Geburtstag! Nach ,Mit dem Wind im Rücken" und ,Ich habe gelernt, auf dem Wasser zu gehen " das dritte Buch mit Lebensgeschichten, die nicht nur Frauen Mut machen. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 220

Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.&rdquo;In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate.

ISBN10: 0297842560, ISBN13: 9780297842569, [publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson Ltd] Hardcover What do we mean when we describe a person as intelligent? The concept of intelligence wields a powerful influence on research dealing with the brain and on how individuals progress in society. Yet, remarkably, there is no scientific consensus about the meaning of intelligence. In The Making of Intelligence Ken Richardson looks at how intelligence has been characterized and measured in the past, explores current trends in our understanding and uses of the concept, and predicts what form these trends will take in the future. He argues that intelligence is not solely predetermined by such factors as genes and environment; it is also created by self-organizing interactions within evolved developmental systems. Considering the implications for society of this dynamic-systems approach, Richardson predicts that as our understanding of the relationship between the mind and the brain improves, the notion of intelligence as a single concept may disappear altogether. Richardson takes particularly sharp aim at IQ tests, exposing the reductionist, oversimplified, and contradictory notions of intelligence that they presuppose as well as the social repercussions of the widespread, unreflecting acceptance of the IQ model in public consciousness. From the writings of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer on evolution and adaptation to the reflections of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky on ...
