Pérez and M. Ángeles GarcíaBasel, Switzerland :MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute,2022.1 online resource (226 pages)3-0365-2960-8 The Atmosphere Special Issue "Lower Atmosphere Meteorology" deals with the meteorological processes that occur in the layer of the atmosphere close to the surface. The interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere is made through the lower layer and can greatly influence living beings and materials. The analysis of the meteorological parameters provides a better understanding of processes within the lower atmosphere and involved in air pollution, climate, and weather. The mixed layer height, the wind speed, and the air parcel trajectory have a relevant interest due to their marked impact on population and energy production. The research also comprises aerosols, clouds, and precipitation, analysing their spatiotemporal variations. This issue addresses features of gases in the atmosphere and anthropogenic greenhouse emission estimates, which are also conditioned by the lower atmosphere meteorology.Earth sciencesStudy and teachingMeteorologyEarth sciencesStudy and teaching.Meteorology.550.71Pérez Isidro A.1291792García M.

This is a deeply grounded analysis of local-level ethno-centrism which places the issue firmly in the context of the local and global political economy. It deserves a wide readership.' -Don Robotham, City University of New York, USA 'This is a must read not only for scholars in the emerging field of the sociolinguistics of (de)coloniality and globalisation, but also those interested in language and the political and ideological formations in the construction of nation-states in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Australia.' -Felix Banda, University of the Western Cape, South Africa 'Professor Finex Ndhlovu's is an important voice in the field of language studies. His trade mark being the careful but consistent contextualization of knotty language questions within the broader terrain of equally complex identitarian politics, while at the same time bringing into creative dialogue African and non-African empirical case studies to demonstrate the global implications and resonance of his research findings.' -Sabelo J Ndlovu-Gatsheni, University of South Africa This book examines the linguistic and discursive elements of social and economic policies and national political leader statements to read new meanings into debates on border protection, national sovereignty, immigration, economic indigenisation, land reform and black economic empowerment. It adds a fresh angle to the debate on nationalisms and transnationalism by pushing forward a more applied agenda to establish a clear and empirically-based illustration of the contradictions in current policy frameworks around the world and the debates they invite. The author's novel vernacular discourse approach contributes new points of method and interpretation that will advance scholarly conversations on nationalisms, transnationalism and other forms of identity imaginings in a transient world. Finex Ndhlovu is Associate Professor of Language in Society at the University of New England, Australia, Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA, and Visiting Research Professor at the University of South Africa. .SociolinguisticsAfrican languagesEmigration and immigrationCultureStudy and teachingRaceAfricaPolitics and governmentSociolinguisticsAfrican LanguagesHuman MigrationCultural StudiesRace and Ethnicity StudiesAfrican PoliticsSociolinguistics.African languages.Emigration and immigration.CultureStudy and teaching.Race.AfricaPolitics and government.Sociolinguistics.African Languages.Human Migration.Cultural Studies.Race and Ethnicity Studies.African Politics.306.44Ndhlovu Finexauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut969236BOOK9910300600303321Language, Vernacular Discourse and Nationalisms2202227UNINA
