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

Nora Schütze

Sinopse

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.

Seeds of the Living Cosmos - How...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Seeds of the Living Cosmos: How Life Shaped the Universe takes listeners on a breathtaking journey across space and time, exploring the profound interplay between life and the cosmos. From the resilient extremophiles that thrive in Earth's harshest environments to the cosmic forces that seed planets with the building blocks of life, this audiobook reveals that life is not just a product of the universe - it may be a guiding thread woven into its very fabric. 
Challenging the notion that life is rare or confined to Earth, the author examines the cosmic blueprints behind star and planet formation, the hidden mechanisms that allow life to flourish in extreme conditions, and the subtle patterns in physics that suggest the universe itself may operate as a living system. Thought-provoking, scientifically rich, and profoundly philosophical, this work invites listeners to reconsider the origin of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and humanity’s place in a living cosmos. 
With its forward-looking exploration of the future of astrobiology and the continuing quest to find life beyond our planet, Seeds of the Living Cosmos is both a celebration of discovery and a call to expand our understanding of the universe as an interconnected, living system.

Koala - A Life in Trees

Danielle Clode

An immersive, entertaining journey into the hidden life of the koala, revealing what life is really like up in the trees
Despite their iconic status and celebrity, koalas remain something of a mystery. Often affectionate in captivity, they seek out human assistance when in need of water or care yet can also be fierce and belligerent. They are beloved worldwide and feature in popular children’s stories, but are also plagued by sexually transmitted diseases and maligned for a lack of intelligence. Their diet consists solely of leaves that are full of toxins. In some states they are threatened with extinction, while in others they are dying from overpopulation.

Fuelled by her biologist’s background and deep curiosity, Danielle Clode delves into the world of koalas to discover what’s behind the sweet face on thousands of postcards. From their megafaunal ancestors to the disastrous effects of colonisation, from remarkable conservation success in the 1920s to the devastating bushfires of 2019–2020, Clode tells the story of koalas and their complex relationship with humans. Sharing the latest scientific insights and myth-busting facts, all woven through Clode’s award-winning storytelling, Koala takes readers up into the trees to reveal the truth about this extraordinary animal and what must be done to ensure its survival.

‘The tree-dwelling koala is one of Australia's most iconic species, yet it is threatened by habitat loss. Danielle Clode, a natural storyteller, has written an insightful book that deepens our understanding of this fascinating animal and highlights the urgency of its survival.’ —PETER WOHLLEBEN, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
