Sommario/riassunto |
|
St Lucia is the world's oldest protected estuary and Africa's largest estuarine system. It is also the centerpiece of South Africa's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and has |

|
|
been a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance since 1986. Knowledge of its biodiversity, geological origins, hydrology, hydrodynamics and the long history of management is unique in the world. However, the impact of global change has culminated in unprecedented challenges for the conservation and management of the St Lucia system, leading to the recent initiation of a project in support of its rehabilitation and long-term sustainability. This timely volume provides a unique source of information on the functioning and management of the estuary for researchers, students and environmental managers. The insights and experiences described build on over 60 years of study and management at the site and will serve as a valuable model for similar estuaries around the world. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, authored by Dr. Ernst Wagemann, explores the German colonists in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil, in the early 20th century. It provides a detailed account of their settlement, agricultural practices, and social life. Wagemann collected extensive material during his four-month journey through the region, focusing on the integration of German settlers in tropical environments. The work examines various aspects such as land acquisition, demographic changes, and the economic activities of the colonists, particularly coffee cultivation. The book is aimed at readers interested in ethnographic studies, colonial history, and the socio-economic aspects of immigration. It serves both academic researchers and those interested in the historical dynamics of European settlements in Brazil. |
