Polycentric Water Governance in Spain - Understanding Determinants Patterns and Performance of Coordination

Nora Schütze

Summary

Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.

The Fantastic Book of Chemistry...

Shane Van

Welcome, welcome! With so many people slapping their neon The Fantastic Book of Chemistry Jokes, this author’s edition has been released. No matter your understanding of chemistry, I am sure you'll get a reaction, because the jokes within, are sodium funny. These jokes have been accumulated through years of interactions with fellow scientists and teachers and lots of drinking in strange bars late at night. A word of caution must be had, some jokes are innocent, and some are rude & lewd, but none are meant to offend. As studies have shown, the darker your sense of humour, the more intelligent you are. With that being said, sit back, put your feet up and wait for the nerdy fluorine, uranium, nitrogen-filled laughs to tickle your fancy. 
“Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.”

The Museum of the Wood Age

Max Adams

A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. 
As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.
