Sommario/riassunto

Frank G. Hirschmann has prepared a revised edition of his highly praised textbook on the medieval city. The cities are examined in their full diversity from economic, social, ecclesiastical, and architectural perspectives. A supplement presents trends and developments in



research on urban history since the first edition; an updated bibliography completes the volume.

Frank G. Hirschmann legt sein hochgelobtes Lehrbuch zur mittelalterlichen Stadt überarbeitet vor. Die Städte werden in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt sowie unter wirtschafts-, sozial-, kirchen- und baugeschichtlicher Sicht betrachtet. Ein Nachtrag stellt die Tendenzen und Entwicklungen der Stadtgeschichtsforschung seit der ersten Auflage dar; die aktualisierte Bibliographie rundet den Band ab.

Sommario/riassunto

This book unveils forestry science and its policy and management that connect past and present understanding of forests. The aggregated knowledge is presented to cover the approaches adopted in studying forest structure, its growth, functioning, and degradation, especially in the context of the surrounding environment. The application of advance computation, instrumentation, and modelling has been elaborated in various chapters. Forest ecosystems are rapidly changing due to forest fires, deforestation, urbanization, climate change, and other natural and anthropogenic drivers. Understanding the dynamics of forest ecosystems requires contemporary methods and measures, utilizing modern tools and big data for developing effective conservation plans. The book also covers discussion on policies for sustainable forestry, agroforestry, environmental governance, socio-ecology, nature-based solutions, and management implication. It is suitable for a wide range of readers working in the field of scientific forestry, policy making, and forest management. In addition, it is a useful material for postgraduate and research students of forestry sciences.

Sommario/riassunto

This book covers all facets involving the production and use of ethanol. Topics include the optimization of raw materials, energy, capital, process model-based computer control, and human resources to produce ethanol. It compares and contrasts processes to prepare ethanol using biotechnology processes to prepare ethanol from chemical synthesis. Matters of optimization of ethanol use as fuel/fuel components are addressed based on thermodynamics, kinetics, and usage. It also discusses pollutants produced from ethanol and mixtures containing ethanol, the status of ways to control these pollutants, and what can be done to minimize the harm to the earth's ecosystems due



to ethanol and gasoline reactions.
