Sommario/riassunto

Following his acclaimed guides to air, fire, and water, David Carle now offers a fascinating exploration of one more primary element of the natural world-the land beneath our feet. From earthworms and earthquakes to Earth Day, this concise, engaging guide is a multifaceted primer on the literal foundation of California's environment. Carle tells how soil ecosystems function, discusses what lives in the soil, and examines various soil types. He then turns to the relationship between humans and the land, and investigates the various



uses and abuses that land in California endures: large scale agriculture, mining, and development, as well as fires, floods, and erosion. The guide also details the history of land use in the state, making it an essential resource for understanding our total reliance on soil, the marvelous substrate that is the basis of life.• Covers the entire state, including California's wildlands, farmland, cities, and landfills• Assesses California's ecological footprint on planet Earth• Discusses many different life forms found in soil, including bacteria, fungi, insects, and mammals• Features 92 color photographs and 18 maps A book in the Californians and Their Environment subseries, dedicated to understanding human influences on the state's ecology and natural resources

Sommario/riassunto

Die Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen (VGR) bilden das zentrale System mit gesamtwirtschaftlichen Statistikergebnissen. Das Lehrbuch erklärt zum einen die Konzepte, Methoden und Datenquellen und zeigt zum anderen wichtige Verwendungsmöglichkeiten und Grenzen der aktuellen VGR auf. In der Neuauflage werden die Entwicklungen berücksichtigt, die aus der aktuellen Revision des internationalen Systems Volkswirtschaftlicher Gesamtrechnungen folgen.

National Accounting is the key system for producing macroeconomic statistics. The textbook explains this system, describing important applications along with the limitations of the current system. The new edition considers changes resulting from revisions to the international system of national accounts.
