    Environment

    Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. What is the environment, this elusive object that impacts us so profoundly--our odds to be born; the way we look, feel, and function; and how long and comfortable we may live?The environment is not only everything we see around us but also, at a lesser scale, a hailstorm of molecules large and small that constantly penetrates our bodies, simultaneously nourishing and threatening our health.The concept of oneness with our surroundings urges a reckoning of what we are doing to ‘the environment,’ and consequently, what we are doing to ourselves.By taking us through this journey of questioning, Rolf Halden’s Environment empowers readers with new knowledge and a heightened appreciation of how our daily lifestyle decisions are impacting the places we occupy, our health, and humanity’s prospect of survival. With illustrations by Griffin Finke. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

  • Museum Environment
    Museum Environment

    The Museum Environment is in two parts; Part I: intended for conservators and museum curators and describes the principles and techniques of controlling the environment so that the potentially damaging effects of light, humidity and air pollution on museum exhibits may be minimised.Part II: the author brings together and summarises information and data, hitherto widely scattered in the literature of diverse fields, which is essential to workers in conservation research. Since the timely publication of the first two editions of this book in hardback, interest in preventive conservation has continued to grow strongly making publication of this paperback edition all the more welcome.Those whose responsibility it is to care for the valuable and beautiful objects in the world's collections have become increasingly aware that it is better to prevent their deterioration, by ensuring that they are housed and displayed in the best possible environmental conditions, than to wait until restoration and repair are necessary.The changes for the second edition have been mainly concentrated in the sections on electronic hygrometry, new fluorescent lamps, buffered cases, air conditioning systems, data logging, and control within historic buildings.A new appendix, giving a summary of museum specificiations for conservation, provides a useful, quick reference.

  • Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment : Origin and Role
    Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment : Origin and Role

    Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic, degradation resistant, bio accumulative, and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic, reproductive and immunological disorders.In Stockholm Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic, degradation resistant, bio-accumulative, and display wide spatial distribution, which has been linked to mutagenic, reproductive, and immunological disorders.At the Stockholm Convention, a global treaty was signed to minimize and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment.The present compilation regarding POPs focusses on the sources, atmospheric behavior, terrestrial and aquatic food chain transfer, human exposure, and fate aspects of this important class of chemicals, including topical issues like temporal trends in contamination.Furthermore, the chemical characteristics of individual POPs are also addressed. Features: Provides better understanding of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and how they affect humans and ecosystems. Includes genesis, categories, environmental fate and behavior, and associated hazards. Reviews analytical techniques involved in detection, human exposure and management. Discusses environmental dynamics of POPs. Focuses on the comprehensive account of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, PAH and other organochlorine POPs, such as DDT, lindane, and dieldrin. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in Life Science, Occupational Health and Safety, Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

  • Environment across Cultures
    Environment across Cultures

    Disparate perceptions and conceptual frameworks of environment and the relationship between humans and nature often lead to confusion, constraints on co-operation and collaboration and even conflict when society tries to deal with today’s urgent and complex environment research and policy challenges.Such disparities in perception and "world view" are driven by many factors.They include differences in culture, religion, ethical frameworks, scientific methodologies and approaches, disciplines, political, social and philosophical traditions, life styles and consumption patterns as well as alternative economic paradigms.Distribution of poverty or wealth between north and south may thus be seen as consequence of the above mentioned disparities, which is a challenge for it’s universal reasoned evaluation.This volume discusses a wide range of factors influencing "Environment across Cultures" with a view to identifying ways and means to better understand, reflect and manage such disparities within future global environmental research and policy agendas for bridging the gap between ecology and economy as well as between societies.The book is based upon the results of a scientific symposium on this topic and covers the following sections: Cross Cultural Perception of Environment; Ethics and Nature; Environment, Sustainability and Society.Corresponding contributions were made by well-known scientific authors representing different cultural spheres in accordance with the inter-cultural approach of this effort.

  • 'Economy or Environment?'

    Both the economy and the environment are important and interconnected. It is essential to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental protection to ensure sustainable development. Neglecting the environment can have long-term negative impacts on the economy, while a healthy environment can support a thriving economy. Therefore, it is crucial to consider both aspects in decision-making processes to achieve a harmonious and sustainable future.

  • What are the interactions between natural environment and cultural environment in geography?

    The interactions between natural and cultural environments in geography are complex and interconnected. The natural environment, including factors such as climate, topography, and resources, shapes the cultural practices and lifestyles of human populations. In turn, human activities and cultural practices can have significant impacts on the natural environment, such as deforestation, pollution, and habitat destruction. These interactions are studied in the field of cultural ecology, which seeks to understand how human societies adapt to and modify their natural surroundings. Understanding these interactions is crucial for sustainable development and conservation efforts.

  • Does the environment influence dreams?

    Yes, the environment can influence dreams. Factors such as temperature, noise, and light levels can impact the quality of sleep, which in turn can affect the content and frequency of dreams. Additionally, being in a natural or urban environment can also influence the themes and imagery that appear in dreams. For example, being in a peaceful natural setting may lead to more serene and calming dreams, while being in a noisy urban environment may lead to more chaotic or stressful dream content.

  • A pleasant working environment prevails.

  • What harms the environment more?

    Both natural disasters and human activities can harm the environment, but human activities tend to have a more significant and long-lasting impact. Activities such as deforestation, pollution, and overconsumption of resources can lead to habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. While natural disasters can cause immediate and severe damage to the environment, the effects are often localized and can sometimes even have positive impacts in the long term by restoring ecosystems. Ultimately, it is important for humans to be mindful of their impact on the environment and work towards sustainable practices to minimize harm.
