The Arctic is one of the world's last great wildernesses: a place of outstanding beauty, history and extraordinary wildlife in which seabirds form an important component of a rich, marine environment. Like many other remote regions, it is under threat from human activities, but to protect it we need to understand it. That understanding can come only through scientific research and the central threat of this book is to examine how such research is actually done. It describes the business of conducting biological studies on seabirds in remote parts of eastern Canada. Several themes are engagingly interwoven: the sheer beauty of the Arctic environment, the intriguing biology of its wildlife, and the discovery and exploitation of enormous seabird colonies, including the destruction of the Great Auk. Tim Birkhead describes in personal detail the different facets of research and brings to life both the difficulties and the excitement of working in the Arctic. What is it like setting up a camp for four months on a remote and uninhabited island not far from the North Pole? How does it feel to commute daily by inflatable boat amidst icebergs to study-areas located on towering cliffs, set between ice-blue glaciers? What do you do when a Polar bear decides that you have invaded its Arctic home? Why are the seabird colonies in the high Arctic so enormous? What do we know about lifestyle of the extinct Great Auk? In 1992 Canada's legendary cod fishery was finally destroyed - what are the consequences of this for other wildlife? These are just a few of the questions dealt with in this book. Our future as a species depends upon science and the understanding it brings of the world we live in. The work of scientists often appears obscure, but in this book, Tim Birkhead has used his experience of seven summers in the Arctic to write an accessible and straightforward account of how research is actually done in the field. The text is enriched by David Quinn's illustrations, and by numerous photographs in both black and white, and colour."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Poyser MonographsAuksBirdsGreat aukSea birdsWildlife: birds & birdwatchingArctic regionsCanada, NorthernNewfoundland and LabradorLabradorAuks.Birds.Great auk.Sea birds.577.0998Birkhead T.

EJB Runtime Environments.Build powerful back-end business logic and complex Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)-based applications using Java EE 8, Eclipse Enterprise for Java (EE4J), Web Tools Project (WTP), and the Microprofile platform. Targeted at Java and Java EE developers, with or without prior EJB experience, this book is packed with practical insights, strategy tips, and code examples. As each chapter unfolds, you'll see how you can apply the new EJB spec to your own applications through specific examples. Beginning EJB in Java EE 8 serves not only as a reference, but also as a how-to guide and repository of practical examples to which you can refer as you build your own applications. It will help you harness the power of EJBs and take your Java EE 8 development to the next level. You'll gain the knowledge and skills you’ll need to create the complex enterprise applications that run today's transactions and more. You will: Build applications with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) in the new Java EE 8 platform Discover when to use EJBs over contexts and dependency injection Use message-driven beans to do tasks asynchronously Integrate EJBs with microservices using the new Eclipse Microprofile project Manage complex enterprise transactions and much more.Beginning Enterprise JavaBeans in Java Enterprise Edition eightJava (Computer program language)Programming languages (Electronic computers)Computer programmingJavahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I29070Programming Languages, Compilers, Interpretershttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14037Programming Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14010Java (Computer program language)Programming languages (Electronic computers)Computer programming.Java.Programming Languages, Compilers, Interpreters.Programming Techniques.005.2Wetherbee Jonathanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut850041Nardone Massimoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRathod Chiragauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKodali Raghu Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autUMIUMIBOOK9910300745203321Beginning EJB in Java EE 81898178UNINA
