Robert Marks discusses the impact of population growth on land-use patterns, the agro-ecology of the region, and deforestation; the commercialization of agriculture and its implications for ecological change; the impact of climatic change on agriculture; and the ways in which the human population responded to environmental challenges. This book is a significant contribution to both Chinese and environmental history. It is groundbreaking in its methods and in its findings. 410 0$aStudies in environment and history. 517 3 $aTigers, Rice, Silk, & Silt 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zChina$xHistory 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zChina$xHistory 606 $aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on$zChina$xHistory 607 $aGuangdong Sheng (China)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGuangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu (China)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aChina$xHistory$yMing dynasty, 1368-1644 607 $aChina$xHistory$yQing dynasty, 1644-1912 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on$xHistory. 676 $a333.73/0951/2 700 $aMarks$b Robert B.$f1949-$01503341 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780275103321 996 $aTigers, rice, silk, and silt$93731668 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04185nam 22006255 450 001 9910300405003321 005 20251116150935.0 010 $a3-319-18678-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-18678-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000471384 035 $a(EBL)4178238 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001585406 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16265439 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001585406 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14864898 035 $a(PQKB)11780658 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-18678-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4178238 035 $a(PPN)19053219X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000471384 100 $a20150903d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPatrick Moore?s Observer?s Year: 366 Nights of the Universe $e2015 ? 2020 /$fedited by Mike Inglis 205 $a3rd ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (406 p.) 225 1 $aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a3-319-18677-9 327 $aIntroduction to Second Edition -- Acknowledgements -- Phases of the Moon 2015 - 2020.- January -- February -- March -- April -- May -- June -- July -- August -- September -- October -- November -- December -- Afterword: Sir Patrick Moore, a Personal View -- Appendix A: The 88 Constellations -- Appendix B: Glossary -- Appendix C: The Greek Alphabet -- Index. 330 $aObservers no longer need to wonder what they will turn their attention to each night of the year with this updated text of a beloved favorite from Sir Partick Moore. His night-by-night account of the stars is the best possible guide an observer could ask for, and now includes the latest data for the years 2015-2020, preserving and extending Sir Patrick Moore's legacy. This new edition of his classic text makes it easy to see why Sir Patrick Moore was such a helpful guide to generations of budding astronomers, professional and amateur alike. For every night of the year Patrick gives the reader details of interesting objects that can be seen from Earth. It is a book for people with a wide interest in practical astronomy, those who may not have specialized in a specific area of astronomy and wish to expand their knowledge in all areas. This third edition includes Sir Patrick?s original text but revises its time-sensitive material and adds all of the points of interest that change from year to year, such as eclipses, occultations, planetary positions, and so on.  Sir Patrick Moore left behind an enormous legacy, including the world's longest-running television series with the same original presenter, the BBC's The Sky at Night, and more than 70 written works. His influence on the world of amateur astronomy was phenomenal, and his knowledge and passion led many to take up observing as a life-long hobby. This book, ?The Observer?s Year, 366 Nights of the Universe? w as, he said, one of his personal favorites. It now features a tribute to Patrick Moore's legacy as well as including what has changed in astronomy since the previous edition ten years ago. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a520.223 702 $aInglis$b Mike$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300405003321 996 $aPatrick Moore?s Observer?s Year: 366 Nights of the Universe$91910229 997 $aUNINA
