Conclusion; Bibliography; Back cover 330 $aAfrica Reunite or Perish is a daring and timely book that explores the essence and nefariousness of neocolonialism in a purportedly independent Africa. The book shows how Africa spends billions of dollars in pseudo threats among African countries due to colonially-entrenched fear and war mongering. The book is emphatic on deconstruction and decolonisation as a categorical imperative for the reunification of Africa beyond the narrow confines of current nation states. Mhango takes a diagnostic-cum-prognostic approach in discussing Africa's predicaments, and in identifying and proposing solutions to problems confronting Africans. The book ascertains Africa's untapped potentials by proving how Africa can live without the infamy of excruciating dependency and beggarliness. It makes a compelling case for African unity beyond the tokenism of officialdom. It prescribes a truly pan-African driven reunification of Africa as the only means of reclaiming the glory she used to enjoy before she was savagely partitioned. 606 $aPan-Africanism 606 $aDecolonization$zAfrica 615 0$aPan-Africanism. 615 0$aDecolonization 676 $a320.549096 700 $aMhango$b Nkwazi Nkuzi$01706137 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816056703321 996 $aAfrica reunite or perish$94093337 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03572nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910831026503321 005 20230422045547.0 010 $a1-282-12278-9 010 $a9786612122781 010 $a0-470-69496-3 010 $a0-470-69485-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000687509 035 $a(EBL)470282 035 $a(OCoLC)609849047 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000358071 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11260043 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000358071 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10359245 035 $a(PQKB)10622767 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470282 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000687509 100 $a20090729d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aCommercial fishing$b[electronic resource] $ethe wider ecological impacts /$fedited by Geoff Moore & Simon Jennings 210 $aLondon $cPublished for the British Ecological Society by Blackwell$d2000 215 $a1 online resource (74 p.) 225 1 $aEcological issues series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-632-05608-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 57-59). 327 $aCommercial fishing: the wider ecological impacts; Contents; Key Points; 1 Commercial fishing: the wider ecological impacts; 1.1 Introduction; 2 Fishing gears and their operation; 2.1 Gear selectivity; 2.2 Pelagic drifting gears; 2.3 Bottom set gears; 2.4 Pelagic mobile gears; 2.5 Bottom mobile gears; 2.6 SCUBA diving, explosives, poisons; 3 Effects of litter from fishing gear; 3.1 'Ghost' fishing; 3.2 Ingestion offragments offishinggear by marine mammals, turtles and seabirds; 4 Vulnerability of different marine habitats; 4.1 Mud; 4.2 Sand; 4.3 Gravel and mixed grounds; 4.4 Maerl 327 $a4.5 Coral, coralligene and rocky reef habitats4.6 Seagrass meadows; 4.7 Kelp forests; 4.8 Sea mounts; 4.9 Relative vunerability; 5 Effects on non-target organisms; 5.1 Sea birds; 5.2 Sea mammals; 5.3 Sea turtles; 5.4 Sea snakes; 5.5 Benthic scavengers; 6 Community and ecosystem responses; 6.1 Community diversity; 6.2 Habitat structure; 6.3 Benthopelagic coupling; 6.4 Species interactions; 6.5 Assessing fisheries effects; 7 Conservation aspects and the way forward; 7.1 Marine reserves; 7.2 Practical conservation measures; 8 Further reading; 9 Glossary; 10 Acronyms; 11 Addresses of contributors 330 $aFishing provides food, income and employment for millions of people. However, fishing has environmental costs that threaten rare species, marine ecosystems and the sustainability of the resource. Based on the research expertise of leading scientists, Commercial Fishing: the Wider Ecological Impacts provides a lively, timely and accessible account of fishing activities and their impacts on marine habitats, biodiversity and species of conservation concern. It covers fishing methods that range from trawling in the Antarctic to fishing with dynamite in the tropics.

Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case. This book illustrates the present state-of-the-art advances after one or two centuries of consideration regarding applications and fundamental aspects. The research is moving fast in the direction of economic and environmental aspects. This will probably continue during the coming years. This book mainly highlights the recent focus on the maximum power of engines, as well as the corresponding first law efficiency upper bounds. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aair infiltration 610 $aannual energy demand 610 $aBIPV 610 $abuilding energy performance 610 $adynamic building simulation 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy need optimisation 610 $aenvironmental and technological design 610 $afan-assisted ventilation 610 $aindoor air quality 610 $aindoor air quality index 610 $aIoT 610 $amassive simulation modelling 610 $amicroservice 610 $amobile app 610 $aNorthern Cyprus 610 $apassive cooling systems 610 $apassive house 610 $apassive strategies 610 $apassivhaus 610 $aPassivhaus 610 $aregression analysis 610 $arenewable energy integration 610 $ashading devices 610 $asmart ventilation 610 $athermal comfort 610 $athermal transmittance of enclosures 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aCostanzo$b Vincenzo$4auth$01328955 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404082103321 996 $aAssessing the Performance of Passive Houses in Mediterranean Climate Regions$93039222 997 $aUNINA
