Atlantic Salmon In Maine
by Committee on Atlantic Salmon in MaineBecause of the pervasive and substantial decline of Atlantic salmon populations in Maine over the past 150 years, and because they are close to extinction, a comprehensive statewide action should be taken now to ensure their survival. The populations of Atlantic salmon have declined drastically, from an estimated half million adult salmon returning to U. S. rivers each year in the early 1800s to perhaps as few as 1,000 in 2001. The report recommends implementing a formalized decision-making approach to establish priorities, evaluate options and coordinate plans for conserving and restoring the salmon.

Atlantic Shorelines: Natural History and Ecology
by Mark D. BertnessA comprehensive introduction to the natural history and intertidal ecology of East Coast shorelinesAtlantic Shorelines is an introduction to the natural history and ecology of shoreline communities on the East Coast of North America. Writing for a broad audience, Mark Bertness examines how distinctive communities of plants and animals are generated on rocky shores and in salt marshes, mangroves, and soft sediment beaches on Atlantic shorelines.The book provides a comprehensive background for understanding the basic principles of intertidal ecology and the unique conditions faced by intertidal organisms. It describes the history of the Atlantic Coast, tides, and near-shore oceanographic processes that influence shoreline organisms; explains primary production in shoreline systems, intertidal food webs, and the way intertidal organisms survive; sets out the unusual reproductive challenges of living in an intertidal habitat, and the role of recruitment in shaping intertidal communities; and outlines how biological processes like competition, predation, facilitation, and ecosystem engineering generate the spatial structure of intertidal communities.The last part of the book focuses on the ecology of the three main shoreline habitats—rocky shores, soft sediment beaches, and shorelines vegetated with salt marsh plants and mangroves—and discusses in detail conservation issues associated with each of them.
Atlantic Transformations: Empire, Politics, and Slavery during the Nineteenth Century (SUNY series, Fernand Braudel Center Studies in Historical Social Science)
by Dale W. TomichThis book presents a new approach to nineteenth-century Atlantic history by extending the analytical perspective of the second slavery to questions of empire, colonialism, and slavery. With a focus on Latin America, Brazil, the Spanish Caribbean, and the United States, international scholars examine relations among empires, between empires and colonies, and within colonies as parts of processes of global economic and political restructuring. By treating metropolis-colony relations within the framework of the modern world-economy, the contributors call attention to the political, economic, and cultural interdependence and interaction of global and local forces shaping the Atlantic world. They reinterpret as specific local responses to global processes the conflicts between empires, within imperial relations, the formation of national states, the creation of new zones of agricultural production and the decline of old ones, and the emergence of liberal ideologies and institutions.
Atlantic Wall: Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark (Battleground Europe)
by George FortyWhile the Germans did not succeed in invading Britain during World War II, they occupied a number of islands in the English Channel. The English population continued to lead fairly normal lives, while the German occupiers built some of the most extensive fortifications of the Second World War. As the war progressed, British commandos made occasional attacks, resulting in harsher conditions on the islands. The German garrisons were totally isolated by the D-Day landings, but managed to hold on through the following winter to surrender in May 1945. The author, a renowned military historian, examines these questions with complete candor, in addition to his study of the famous fortifications. All of the wartime events and the islands and their fortifications as they are today are covered in the popular Battleground Europe style, with illustrations, maps and then-and-now photographs.
Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas: Properties, Variability, Climatic Importance (GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences)
by Waldemar WalczowskiThe book presents a wide description of hydrographic conditions in the studied area of the Norwegian and Greenland Seas. Variability of the Atlantic Water properties have been presented on the basis of time series obtained from oceanographic measurements performed each summer from 2000 to 2007 by the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences. The warming observed in that period has been described in detail as well as cooling of the Atlantic Water flowing towards the Fram Strait in 2007. Furthermore, concepts regarding multi-branch structure of the West Spitsbergen Current have been presented, types of flows in individual branches as well as variability of the flows. Description of the structure, transports and variability of the sea currents is based mostly on hydrographic measurements and baroclinic calculations. The results confirm a leading role of the ocean in climate shaping and acknowledges the importance of the Thermohaline Circulation for the climate.

Atlantis Destroyed explores the possibility that the account given by Plato is historically true.

He outlines the latest research findings on Knossos and Bronze Age Thera, discussing the material culture, trade empire and agricultural system, writing and wall paintings, art, religion and society of the Minoan civilization. Castleden demonstrates the many parallels between Plato's narrative and the Minoan Civilization in the Aegean.Fired by the imagination a new vision of Atlantis has arisen over the last one hundred and fifty years as a lost utopia. Rodney Castleden discusses why this picture arose and xplains how it has become confused with Plato's genuine account.
Atlantis Ek Rahasyamay Dwip: अटलांटिस एक रहस्यमयी द्वीप
by Shivendra Suryavanshiहम जब भी अटलांटिस के बारे में सोचते हैं, हमारी आँखों के सामने सागर में डूबी एक भव्य सभ्यता नजर आने लगती है। अटलांटिस देवताओं की वह धरती जिसका जिक्र सर्वप्रथम प्लेटो ने अपनी पुस्तक ‘टाइमियस’ और ‘क्रिटियास’ में किया था। कहते हैं अटलांटिस का विज्ञान आज के विज्ञान से हजारों गुना ज्यादा बेहतर था। पर एक दिन धरती के जोर से हिलने की वजह से पूरी अटलांटिस सभ्यता कहीं सागर में समा गई। तब से लेकर आज तक वैज्ञानिक, आर्कियोलॉजिस्ट उस सभ्यता को ढूंढने का प्रयत्न कर रहे हैं। ईश्वर को ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण के लिये 7 तत्वों की आवश्यकता थी- अग्नि, जल, वायु, पृथ्वी, आकाश, ध्वनि और प्रकाश। इन 7 तत्वों से ईश्वर ने ब्रह्मांड का निर्माण किया। पर अभी भी ईश्वर की सबसे अद्वितीय रचना बाकी थी और वह थी जीवन की उत्पत्ति। जीवन की उत्पत्ति के लिये ईश्वर ने ‘ब्रह्मकण’ का निर्माण किया, जिसे अंग्रेजी में ‘गॉड-पार्टिकल’ या 'हिग्स-बोसन' कहा जाता है। इस ब्रह्मकण ने ब्रह्मांड के हर जीव का निर्माण किया। क्या था यह ब्रह्मकण? जिसने अलग-अलग प्रकार के अरबों-खरबों जीवों की रचना की, जिसने इन्हें इतना अलग-अलग बनाया। इस कथानक में जहां एक ओर तिलिस्म, जादू, चमत्कार और रहस्य है, वहीं दूसरी ओर विज्ञान की एक अद्भुत दुनिया है, जो बिग-बैंग, ब्लैक होल, नेबुला और डार्क मैटर जैसे सिद्धांतों को खोलती है। पौराणिक कथाओं और विज्ञान के ताने बाने से बुना हुआ एक अद्भुत कथानक।
