Marine and Brackish Bryozoans from the Southern Bight of the North Sea: Identification Guide for Belgium, the Netherlands and the North Sea Coast of Germany
by Hans De BlauweIn 2009, Hans published a Dutch identification guide for marine and brackish water Bryozoans (&“moss animals&”) of the Southern Bight of the North Sea, illustrated with drawings, scanning-electron and light microscope images. It is a reliable reference for professional bryozoologists and keen amateur naturalists studying northern European bryozoans. This virtually complete inventory of a group of animals that have been the object of very few studies so far, but that encompasses a surprisingly large variety of species. The sandy substrate that is predominant in this area is usually poor in moss animal species. The fact that such a large number of species are described in this work is the result of an in-depth study of recent observations (tidemark material, specimens collected on the hard substrate of breakwaters and port structures, shells and stones near sandbanks) and the review of historical collections. As many as 179 species were discussed in the Dutch book, the present English update treats 201 species, describing 9 species as new to science. The area bounded to the south by Cap Gris Nez (Northern France) covers the Belgian and Dutch coast and is now extended to the German North Sea coast. This update includes more native and non-indigenous species, new distribution data, new taxonomic insights, additional references, and additional or better illustrations. What is especially remarkable is that each species has been illustrated using both stereomicroscope showing natural coloration and colony shape, and scanning electron microscope showing small details of zooidal morphology. Thanks to the different identification keys in the book and a 20-30x magnifying glass, it is possible to recognize most of the moss animals in the study area. We hope that this work will contribute to a better understanding of this colony-forming, undervalued group of animals.

Marion and Hungry Mother State Park (Images of America)
by Kenneth Wm. HeathSituated in Virginia's southwestern corner in the splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountain Highlands, Marion and neighboring Hungry Mother State Park are steeped in natural beauty. Marion, the name chosen to honor American Revolutionary War hero Gen. Francis Marion, was officially incorporated by the General Assembly on March 15, 1849. The railroad arrived in 1856 and fueled the economy by promoting industrial growth throughout the region. In 1933, John D. and Mildred Lincoln donated 1,881 acres to the state for the establishment of a state park on Hungry Mother Creek. On June 13, 1936, the park was officially dedicated with public opening ceremonies at Hungry Mother State Park, and more than 5,000 turned out to see the park as Gov. George Peery and State Park Director Robert Burson officiated.
Maritime Boundaries: World Boundaries Volume 5 (World Boundaries Series #Vol. 5)
by Gerald H. BlakeThe global political map is undergoing a process of rapid change as former states disintegrate and new states emerge. At sea, boundary delimitation between coastal states is continuing unabated. These changes could pose a threat to world peace if they are not wisely negotiated and carefully managed. Maritime Boundaries presents a variety of cases illustrating the implications of recent approaches to maritime territorial juristiction.
Maritime Boundary Delimitation: Is It Consistent and Predictable? (Publications On Ocean Development Ser. #24)
by Oude Elferink Alex G. Tore Henriksen Signe Veierud BuschThe law of maritime delimitation has been mostly developed through the case law of the International Court of Justice and other tribunals. In the past decade there have been a number of cases that raise questions about the consistency and predictability of the jurisprudence concerning this sub-field of international law. <P><P>This book investigates these questions through a systematical review of the case law on the delimitation of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. Comprehensive coverage allows for conclusions to be drawn about the case law's approach to the applicable law and its application to the individual case. Maritime Boundary Delimitation: The Case Law will appeal to scholars of international dispute settlement as well as practitioners and academics interested in the law concerning the delimitation of maritime boundaries.
Maritime Mobilities in Anglophone Literature and Culture (Maritime Literature and Culture)
by Alexandra Ganser Charne LaveryThis open access edited collection explores various aspects of how oceanic im/ mobilities have been framed and articulated in the literary and cultural imagination. It covers the entanglements of maritime mobility and immobility as they are articulated and problematized in selected literature and cultural forms from the early modern period to the present. In particular, it brings cultural mobility studies into conversation with the maritime and oceanic humanities. The contributors examine the interface between the traditional Eurocentric imagination of the sea as romantic and metaphorical, and the materiality of the sea as a deathbed for racialized and illegalized humans as well as non-human populations
Maritime Networks in the Mycenaean World
by Thomas F. TartaronIn this book, Thomas F. Tartaron presents a new and original reassessment of the maritime world of the Mycenaean Greeks of the Late Bronze Age. By all accounts a seafaring people, they enjoyed maritime connections with peoples as distant as Egypt and Sicily. These long-distance relations have been celebrated and much studied; by contrast, the vibrant worlds of local maritime interaction and exploitation of the sea have been virtually ignored. Dr. Tartaron argues that local maritime networks, in the form of "coastscapes" and "small worlds," are far more representative of the true fabric of Mycenaean life. He offers a complete template of conceptual and methodological tools for recovering small worlds and the communities that inhabited them. Combining archaeological, geoarchaeological, and anthropological approaches with ancient texts and network theory, he demonstrates the application of this scheme in several case studies. This book presents new perspectives and challenges for all archaeologists with interests in maritime connectivity.

Marketing and Supply Chain Management: A Systemic Approach
by Dimitris Folinas Thomas FotiadisOrganizations are now recognizing the importance of demand-supply integration to their growth and success. While marketing and supply chain management are an essential part of any business qualification, it is becoming increasingly essential to understand the need for integration between synergize marketing and SCM. Marketing and Supply Chain Management is among the first to synergize these two disciplines. Its holistic approach provides students with a macro-level understanding of these functions and their symbiotic relationship to one another, and demonstrates how both can be managed synergistically to the benefit of the organization. This bridge-building textbook is ideal for students of marketing, logistics, supply chain management, or procurement who want to understand the machinations of business at a macro level.
Marketing for Sustainable Development: Rethinking Consumption Models
by Sihem DekhiliMany people see a weak association between marketing and sustainable development and even consider them as two incompatible fields. However, marketing benefits from an extremely powerful position to encourage transformations at the production level and to guide consumers towards responsible behaviors. From its inception, marketing has been positioned as a support for the relationship between the company and its customers, with the quest for well-being set in the very foundations of the discipline. In a context that is marked by crises and much skepticism, marketing today should, more than ever, prove that it acts in good faith. This book offers practitioners, public authorities, professors and students illustrations that demonstrate that the dissemination of sustainable practices is indeed a marketing issue. It argues that it is particularly important not only to overcome the divide between the concepts of marketing and sustainability, but also to use marketing tools and frameworks to support sustainable development and strengthen the green market.
Marketing in the Climate Crisis: Imagining Post-Growth Futures (Routledge Studies in Critical Marketing)
by Carys Egan-Wyer Jon BertilssonAre marketers, the proponenst for continuous economic growth, the ultimate climate criminals? So far, their job has been to create unnecessary demand and to promote the overconsumption and waste that threatens our very existence on this planet. In this book however, the authors explore the potential of marketing to do the opposite–that is to help create a more ecologically sustainable future. This book argues that marketing researchers and practitioners have a crucial role to play in reimagining and promoting alternatives to growth capitalism.Existing sustainability narratives focus on sacrifice and limitation, rendering potential futures uninspiring and unappealing. Drawing on critical marketing scholarship and degrowth principles, this book proposes an alternative way of thinking—dystopian optimism—which allows us to imagine degrowth as desirable. The authors suggest that the transition to a post-growth future can be achieved by theoretically reimagining that future and outline practical ways for critical marketers to contribute to this transition. This book adds to the small but growing stream of marketing literature that concerns itself with marketing’s role in the currently unfolding ecological calamity. Marketers and marketing researchers will learn how marketing’s role in the calamity is threatening its legitimacy but, by following the chapter-by-chapter analysis, they will also learn how marketing can transform itself by focusing on selling sustainable futures.This book is essential reading for those who want to understand why it is so hard for us to imagine desirable, sustainable futures and who want to be part of changing that. For those who are interested in saving, not just marketing’s legitimacy, but also the planet, it is a must read for scholars and upper-level students of critical marketing, marketing ethics, marketing theory, and consumer culture.
