Multi-Axis Spindle Turning
Author: Barbara Dill
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing
ISBN: 9780764355349
Category : Turning (Lathe work)
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Master the art of multi-axis spindle turning! This book offers a strategy for understanding multi-axis turning and the many options available to create unique forms. Dill, a self-professed "experimental turner," takes readers step by step through this complex area of turning. Working in multiple axes on a spindle can be confusing, but as Dill teaches the "hows" of turning spindles as systematic building blocks for future work, turners can finally make this skill their own. Hundreds of photos and diagrams offer detailed guidance, and explain the variables--axis placement, profile, orientation of the new axis to the center axis, and so on--and how they apply to each "quadrant" of multi-axis work. Split and thermed turning methods, planning tips, tricks of the trade, and a three-sided cup or vase project help you succeed. Concepts come to life as Dill shows examples of not only her work, but the work of other expert turners.

Participatory Mangrove Management in a Changing Climate
Author: Rajarshi DasGupta
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 4431564810
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
This book outlines the performance and management of mangroves in the changing climatic scenario of the Asia-Pacific region and draws examples and lessons from the national and community-driven mangrove conservation programs of relevant countries including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan as well as the Pacific islands. By highlighting the major drawbacks that hinder effective mangrove conservation, the book contributes towards enhancing climate resilience of communities through proposition of corrective methods and ameliorative approaches of mangrove conservation. Mangroves play an important role in adapting to climate change and provide a plethora of ecosystem services that are fundamental to human survival. Yet these ecosystems are exceptionally prone to extinction due to increased human interventions and changes in environmental boundary conditions. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, mangroves have dwindled at an exceptional high rate over the past three decades. As the threat of climate change hovers over millions of people in this region, particularly those who crowd the low-lying coastal areas, conservation/restoration of mangroves through appropriate policies and practices remain highly imperative. The primary target readers for this book are students and researchers in the fields of conservation and management of mangroves, especially from the developing tropical countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Other target groups comprise policy planners, practitioners, and NGO workers, who will be able to apply the collective knowledge from this work towards proactive mangrove conservation through effective mediation in local communities.

Landscapes and Landforms of Turkey
Author: Catherine Kuzucuoğlu
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030035158
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 635
Book Description
This book on Turkish geomorphology offers location descriptions, based on their dynamics and evolution processes, including hydrology, tectonics, volcanism, slopes, coasts, ice/snow, and wind. It presents landforms as a result of evolution (Quaternary, Holocene, historic) and in relation to the elements determining and/or impacting this evolution (vegetation, soil, hydrology, geology, climate, sea level and human action) as well as the resulting landscapes. Richly illustrated with pictures from each site, including geomorphological maps and sections, it explains the risks associated with the geomorphological dynamics (on local and global scales), natural and/or cultural heritage (archaeology, prehistory, history, architectural specifications adapted to the landscape), as well as challenges for human society (endangered landscape, protection/conservation rules/statutes, posters/paintings.).
