But today the world's great forests confront more ominous threats than ever before. This visionary book is the first to examine forests consisting of oaks, maples, hickories, beeches, chestnuts, birches and ecologically similar animals and plants on three continents-East Asia, Europe, and North America-to reveal their common origin back in time, the ecological patterns they share, and the approaches to conservation that have been attempted on their behalf. Although these forests face common problems, threats due to human activities vary. Different land use and agricultural practices on the three continents, as well as different attitudes about what is worth preserving, have led to strikingly different approaches to forest conservation. Robert Askins explores the strengths and weaknesses of conservation efforts across the continents and concludes that the ideal strategy for the future will blend the best ideas from each. 606 $aForest conservation$zEast Asia 606 $aForest conservation$zNorth America 606 $aForest conservation$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForest conservation 615 0$aForest conservation 615 0$aForest conservation 676 $a333.7516 700 $aAskins$b Robert$01042410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464101603321 996 $aSaving the world's deciduous forests$92466621 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03468nam 22007211c 450 001 9910790028303321 005 20200115203623.0 010 $a1-4725-4290-8 010 $a1-280-12372-9 010 $a9786613527585 010 $a1-4411-1729-6 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472542908 035 $a(CKB)2670000000151646 035 $a(EBL)866355 035 $a(OCoLC)778458824 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000613184 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12214605 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000613184 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10584718 035 $a(PQKB)10689152 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC866355 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL866355 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10534277 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL352758 035 $a(OCoLC)893335941 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09255877 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000151646 100 $a20140929d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aWriting Muslim identity $fGeoffrey Nash 210 1$aLondon $aNew York $cContinuum $d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (153 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4411-2436-5 311 $a1-4411-3666-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages [128]-136) and index 327 $aLiterature and the kulturkampf against Islam -- British migrant Muslim fiction -- Fixing Muslim masculinity, saving Muslim women -- Discoursing Muslim modernities and eschatologies -- Fixing the 'Islamic' terrorist 327 $aIntroduction \1.Literature and the Kulturkampf against -- Islam\ 2.

This book is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the way in which Muslims are represented within modern English writing, ranging from the novel, through memoir and travel writing to journalism. Covering a wide range of texts and authors, it scrutinises the identity 'Muslim' by looking at its inscription in recent and contemporary literary writing within the context of significant events like the Rushdie Affair and 9/11. Examining the wide range of writing internationally that takes Islam or Islamic cultures as its focus, the author discusses the representation of Muslim identity in writing by non-Muslim writers, former Muslim 'native informants', and practising Muslims 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: post-colonial literature 606 $aIslam and literature$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aMuslims in literature 606 $aMuslims$xEthnic identity 606 $aIslam and literature$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIslam and literature$xHistory 615 0$aMuslims in literature. 615 0$aMuslims$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aIslam and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9/38297 700 $aNash$b Geoffrey$0288165 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790028303321 996 $aWriting Muslim identity$93867723 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01142nam 2200397 450 001 9910815260503321 005 20230809224659.0 010 $a962-996-817-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000001402009 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5433627 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5433627 035 $a(OCoLC)1042320619 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001402009 100 $a20200123d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLam Woo $emaster builder, revolutionary, and philanthropist /$fMoira M.
