From the unique perspective of paleoecology-the study of ancient environments-Burney has focused his investigations on the dramatic ecological changes that began after the arrival of humans one thousand years ago, detailing not only the environmental degradation they introduced but also asking how and why this destruction occurred and, most significantly, what might happen in the future.Using Kaua'i as an ecological prototype and drawing on the author's adventures in Madagascar, Mauritius, and other exciting locales, Burney examines highly pertinent theories about current threats to endangered species, restoration of ecosystems, and how people can work together to repair environmental damage elsewhere on the planet. Intriguing illustrations, including a reconstruction of the ancient ecological landscape of Kaua'i by the artist Julian Hume, offer an engaging window into the ecological marvels of another time. A fascinating adventure story of one man's life in paleoecology, Back to the Future in the Caves of Kaua'i reveals the excitement-and occasional frustrations-of a career spent exploring what the past can tell us about the future.Excavations (Archaeology)HawaiiKauaiCavesHawaiiKauaiPaleoecologyHawaiiKauaiPrehistoric peoplesHawaiiKauaiHuman ecologyHawaiiKauaiHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onHawaiiKauaiHistoryTimePhilosophyKauai (Hawaii)AntiquitiesKauai (Hawaii)Environmental conditionsExcavations (Archaeology)CavesPaleoecologyPrehistoric peoplesHuman ecologyHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.TimePhilosophy.996.9/4102Burney David A.1950-1811422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972742503321Back to the future in the caves of Kaua'i4363296UNINA02556nam0 22005053i 450 VAN0029839920251103032310.361N978940114992120250917d1998 |0itac50 baengNL|||| |||||i e bcrExistence Theory for Nonlinear Integral and Integrodifferential Equationsby Donal O’Regan and Maria MeehanDordrechtSpringerKluwer1998ix, 218 p.24 cm001VAN000224232001 Mathematics and its applications210 DordrechtReidel1977-2007300 L'editore varia in: Kluwer ; [poi] Springer44545-XXIntegral equations [MSC 2020]VANC020265MF45BxxFredholm integral equations [MSC 2020]VANC022608MF45DxxVolterra integral equations [MSC 2020]VANC022202MF45G10Other nonlinear integral equations [MSC 2020]VANC022215MF45JxxIntegro-ordinary differential equations [MSC 2020]VANC022604MF45NxxAbstract integral equations, integral equations in abstract spaces [MSC 2020]VANC022020MF47H10Fixed-point theorems [MSC 2020]VANC020267MF47J05Equations involving nonlinear operators (general) [MSC 220]VANC022024MF60H20Stochastic integral equations [MSC 2020]VANC033953MF60H25Random operators and equations (aspects of stochastic analysis) [MSC 2020]VANC031027MFDifferential equationsKW:KIntegral equationsKW:KOrdinary Differential EquationsKW:KNLDordrechtVANL000068O’ReganDonalVANV230738621718MeehanMariaVANV253768147498Kluwer <editore>VANV108116650Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20251107RICAhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4992-1E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICAIT-CE0120VAN08NVAN00298399BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA08DLOAD e-Book 12748 08eMF12748 20251024 Existence Theory for Nonlinear Integral and Integrodifferential Equations4435276UNICAMPANIA
