Paperback. Condition: New. This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on the process of soil carbon sequestration.The first chapter discusses the relationship between soil carbon sequestration and humanity, as well as the global importance of soil carbon sequestration in removing CO2 from the atmosphere.The second chapter describes the distribution and dynamics of diverse components of the soil carbon or pedological reservoir and explains the impact of anthropogenic activities on the soil. The chapter also considers the range of management strategies that may be used to restore the depleted pedologic carbon reservoir, focussing on soil organic carbon.The third chapter provides an overview of the available systems for the monitoring, reporting and verification of soil organic carbon, focussing on both their advantages and limitations.The fourth chapter discusses the challenges for large-scale application of spectral mapping when the soil and parent material are heterogeneous and surface conditions are unknown.The final chapter evaluates the potential for carbon sequestration in temperate agroforestry systems by analysing existing data from different agroforestry practices in temperate regions worldwide.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the perceived circumstances behind Ghanaian adolescents' involvement in delinquency. The meanings they make out of their delinquent behaviours were also investigated. The plethora of literature on juvenile delinquency was identified to be dominated by findings from Western cultures and also quantitative in outlook. Against this backdrop, the lived experiences of young offenders from Ghana were qualitatively gathered and analyzed. Six (6) main themes emerged as the explanatory variables to delinquency in Ghana. As a meaning making platform, the young offenders saw their behaviours as a means to an end. Another construed meaning of delinquency was that, proceeds from ill gotten gains amounted to 'bitter money'. The training process of the young offenders who premeditated their acts was observed to be an apprenticeship model where each trainee (young offender) had a 'big-man' (a master) and a mentor (trainer). These finding were interspersed with relevant theories and literatures for a thorough discussion, with their implications for intervention and future research clearly emphasized. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines political detention in Ghana's history from the colonial period to 1972. The book opens in 1850 with the activities of British officials and the forms of dissent by the people of Gold Coast, describes how the colonial government used political detention to silence agitators for self government, and how the Nkrumah government and the later regimes, inherited that colonial legacy. Thus, the book takes into account the issue of political detention or what has been referred to as executive detention from three different regimes; the colonial period, the First Republic, and the first military regime.The author has explained the various events that led to the detention of people under the various regimes. The author also describes how the issue of national security has been used in some cases as a subterfuge or as a cover up in the detention of political opponents.
