    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: An Introduction to Small Island Developing States and Building Resilience to Climate Change in the Caribbean -- Chapter 2: Principles of Systemic Resilience to Climate Change in Small Island Developing States -- Chapter 3: Nature-based Solutions for Building Resilience in Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean -- Chapter 4: Assessment of the Effectiveness of Nature-based Solutions for Land Restoration in St. Kitts and Nevis -- Chapter 5: Building Resilience for Caribbean Nations: Showstoppers and Opportunities from Economics and Governance.
    Abstract: This book summarizes approaches that integrate the environmental, economic, and physical domains with the values, and needs of the population are necessary to develop sustainable strategies that will enhance the resilience of small islands, within the context of inter-island differences in geology, ecology, societal attitudes, governance, and human and economic resources. The impacts of coastal damage and flooding are predicted to worsen during this century due to rising sea levels and increases in the frequency and intensity of storms. The usual approach to coastal protection in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean is to view both the hazards and the solutions from the “Ocean Side” perspective and to react with “hard” engineering solutions. These structural engineering approaches prevent damage and disruptions to services associated with predictable events but leave communities vulnerable to future events that do not follow historical trends. Furthermore, engineered structures do not adequately address the systemic nature of climate change nor account for compounding threats (e.g., coincidence of hurricane season and global pandemics). To move from this traditional strategy for managing risks from coastal hazards, we need to consider a portfolio of solutions that enhance island protection and community resilience. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are gaining attention as practical and cost-effective approaches for mitigating climate-based stressors. However, deployment of NBS strategies requires spatial coordination within the context of “ridge to reef” or integrated water resource management (IWRM) approaches that include the creation of conditions for social acceptance, equity, effective governance, and financial incentives.

    Description / Table of Contents: This volume - the first of six - launches the first comprehensive English-language flora of the Russian Arctic. Flora of the Russian Arctic translates Arkticheskaya Flora SSSR, the authoritative work of botanists of the Komarov Botanical Institute prepared under the editorship of A. I. Trolmachev and B. A. Yurtsev. This unexcerpted translation was prepared by distinguished systematist G. C. D: Griffiths under the editorship of J. G. Packer, Professor Emeritus of Botany at the University of Alberta. It represents the first time this work has been made available in a language other than Russian. This first volue of Flora of the Russian Arctic describes the thirteen families here listed. Together, the six volumes will treat some 360 genera, 1650 species and 220 infraspecific taxa, including many new combinations and previously undescribed species and subspecies. Detailed keys to genera and species and the original distribution maps complement the species discussions. The Russian Arctic spans 145 degrees of longitude, from the Barents Sea to the Bering Strait. The comprehensive content and accomplished scholarship of this work, along with the size of the area covered, make Flora of the Russian Arctic an essential part of every botanical library.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The principles of spectroscopic sounding of planetary atmospheres are reviewed, showing how the vertical temperature structure may be derived from measurements of thermal emission by carbon dioxide. The Selective Chopper Radiometer, designed jointly by Oxford and Heriot-Watt Universities is then described in detail and results obtained from this instruments on the NIMBUS IV satellite are presented. Future developments of this kind of observation are briefly discussed.
