Publisher: Springer 2009-11-17 | 243 Pages | ISBN: 0387895159 | PDF | 12 MB This book outlines a system that subdivides the Earth into a hierarchy of increasingly finer-scale ecosystems that can sever as a consistent framework for ecological analysis and management. The system consists of a three-part, nested hierarchy of ecosystem units and associated mapping criteria. Delineating units involves identifying the environmental factors controlling the spatial geography of ecosystems at various levels and drawing boundaries where they change significantly.

The Astronaut's Cookbook: Tales, Recipes, and More

Ebook30.com — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:45:02 +0100

Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1441906231 | 219 pages | PDF | 4 MB Astronauts, cosmonauts, and a very limited number of people have experienced eating space food due to the unique processing and packaging required for space travel. This book allows anyone with a normal kitchen to prepare space food. Since some of the processing such as freeze dehydration, and packaging cannot be accomplished in the normal kitchen, many of the recipes will not produce the food that would be launched in space, but will prepare food similar to what the astronauts would eat after they had added the water to the food in space.
