Book Description
'Living on the Edge' examines the function of the Sahel region of Africa as an important wintering area for long-distance migrant birds. It describes the challenges the birds have to cope with – climate change, of course, and rapid man-made habitat changes related to deforestation, irrigation and reclamation of wetlands. How have all these changes affected the birds, and have birds adapted to these changes? Can we explain the changing numbers of breeding birds in Europe by changes in the Sahel, or vice versa? Winner of the BB/BTO Best Bird Book Award 2010 The Jury commented: "It is a tremendous book in every department. It marks a step-change in our knowledge of the ecology of this critically important region in the European-African migration system and of the many species (familiar to us on their breeding grounds) that winter there. The authors combine the latest scientific information with vivid descriptions of landscapes and animals. Their book is richly illustrated with large numbers of drawings, maps and photographs by acclaimed experts. The wealth of coloured graphics has been particularly well thought out and encourages readers to delve into the figures and learn more about the region, rather than having the (all-too-common) opposite effect. Summing up, the jury praises not just the high quality of the texts, the information and the illustrations, but also the sheer pleasure of reading the book: "One of the key attributes of a good book is to be able to grip the reader's attention and transport him or her to another place. We feel confident that [Living on the edge] will have that effect."

Book Description
The following topics are discussed in this volume: recent developments in operator theory, coherent states and wavelet analysis, geometric and topological methods in theoretical physics and quantum field theory, and applications of these methods of mathematical physics to problems in atomic and molecular physics as well as the world of the elementary particles and their fundamental interactions. Two extensive sets of lecture notes on quantization techniques in general, and quantum gauge theories and strings as an avenue towards quantum geometry, are also included. The volume should be of interest to anyone working in a field using the mathematical methods associated with any of these topics.

Book Description
Depuis plusieurs années, l'espace Sahara-Sahel a suscité un véritable intérêt de la part des médias. Cette région du monde est en effet devenue partie intégrante du paysage politique européen. Elle apparaît comme une frontière de plus en plus poreuse entre l'Afrique et l'Europe. Le premier mérite de cet ouvrage est d'attirer notre attention sur le fait que cet espace n'est pas seulement une zone de transit, mais une région habitée par des hommes. Et s'il y a un trait qui caractérise ses habitants, c'est bien leur mobilité. Ce trait justifie l'appellation d'" espace en mouvement" utilisée ici par plusieurs auteurs. Le fait d'en souligner l'unité historico-culturelle et socio-économique est une autre originalité de la publication. Cette idée d'unité contraste avec l'image, pourtant plus répandue, d'une région " entre-deux ", située entre les deux aires géographiques que sont l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique subsaharienne. A côté du trait commun de la mobilité, qui rend sujette à question la dichotomie supposée entre nomadisme et sédentarité, les différentes populations de cet espace sont liées en réalité par de multiples relations dans les domaines économique, politique et culturel. Aboutissement d'un colloque qui s'est tenu à Berlin en 2005, les contributions de cet ouvrage développent l'idée que l'unité de l'espace Sahara-Sahel se manifeste avant tout dans les centres urbains et à travers les interactions entre migrants et citadins sédentaires. Les auteurs se sont cependant concentrés sur certains des habitants de la ville, ceux dont le potentiel à façonner les formes urbaines est limité ou n'a pas encore été pris en considération par les chercheurs. Il s'agit notamment des femmes, des jeunes, des nouveaux arrivés ou des gens de passage. A côté des modalités du travail et d'habitation, l'intérêt a porté sur la différence ou l'étrangeté (Fremdheit), sur les manières de les vivre et de les représenter, ou bien de les dissimuler ou de les surmonter.

Book Description
As societies transition to evidence-based adaptation and management there is increasing recognition of the need for understanding climate change and variability dynamics and impacts at regional levels and for various activities. This book is a contribution toward that goal. Readers interested in climate change management will find detailed discussions of climatic variability dynamics in selected regions as well as new innovative ways of monitoring climate change, assessing climate risks, and predicting impacts. Those interested in refreshing the fundamentals of climate change and climate variability will find a very accessible review of the status of knowledge on the subject, including a balanced interrogation of available evidence. In an attempt to keep the book accessible, every effort was made to minimize technical jargon without compromising scientific accuracy. The result should be useful to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.
