Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is unique in providing a global overview of alpine (high mountain) habitats that occur above the natural (cold-limited) tree line, describing the factors that have shaped them over both ecological and evolutionary timescales. The broad geographic coverage helps synthesise common features whilst revealing differences in the world's major alpine systems from the Arctic to the Tropics. The words ""barren"" and ""wasteland"" have often been applied to describe landscapes beyondthe treeline. However, a closer look reveals a large diversity of habitats, assemblages and individual taxa, lar |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Designed to enliven and inspire staff and customers, the best mission statements energize organizations from restaurants to airlines. As tools in planning and marketing, they turn good ideas into action. In libraries, they are often missing in the communications strategy. Linda Wallace, an experienced library communications professional, explains why libraries need mission statements and offers strategies for writing and implementing an effective statement. |
