Sprache: Deutsch Broschur gr. 8;; 254 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, etikettiert; sonst wohlerhaltenes Buch; Tabellen; Diagramme; Karten im Text, - The coastal waters of Southeast Asian countries have some of the worlds richest ecosystems characterized by extensive coral reefs and mangrove forests. Blessed with warm tropical climate and high rainfall, these waters are further enriched with nutrients from land which enable them to support a wide diversity of marine life. Because economic benefits could be derived from them, the coastal zones in these countries teem with human settlements. Over 70% of the population in the region lives in coastal areas which are characterized by high-level resource exploitation brought about by increasing population pressure and associated economic activities over the last two decades. Large-scale destruction of the regions valuable resources has caused serious degradation of the environment, thus affecting the economic condition and quality of life of the coastal inhabitants. This lamentable situation is mainly the result of ineffective or poor management of the coastal resources. It is essential to consider coastal resources as valuable assets that should be utilized on a sustainable basis. Unisectoral overuse of some resources has caused grave problems. Indiscriminate logging and mining in upland areas might have brought large economic benefits to companies undertaking these activities and, to a certain extent, increased government revenues, but could prove detrimental to lowland activities such as fisheries, aquaculture and coastal tourism-dependent industries. Similarly, unregulated fishing efforts and the use of destructive fishing methods, such as mechanized push-netting and dynamiting, have caused serious destruction of fish habitats and reduction of fish stocks. Indiscriminate cutting of mangroves for aquaculture, fuel wood, timber and the like has brought temporary gains in fish production, but losses in nursery areas of commercially important fish and shrimp, c.…

From Confucius to Saint Augustine and Beethoven to the blues, a rediscovery of the joy that is music "Running throughout [Chua's] book is a note of playfulness that makes for lively reading even when things turn deeply philosophical."John Check, Wall Street Journal, "Holiday Gift Books, Music" In this revelatory book, Daniel K.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Summary:"At the height of the Cold War in Southeast Asia, the foreign relations between the United States and Singapore demonstrated the interplay between America's strategy of containment and Singapore's efforts at a non-aligned foreign policy. But there is a deeper story. American involvement in the Vietnam War not only held back the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, but also catalysed economic and strategic cooperation between the United States and Singapore. The author argues that Singapore might not have achieved its success so rapidly without the support of the US. As the war in Vietnam raged on, Singapore became a critical refueling point, also providing ship and aircraft repair for the US military. Commercial and strategic support from the United States lifted Singapore out of the economic doom predicted for the city-state after secession from Malaysia, cessation of Indonesian trade during Konfrontasi and Britain's military withdrawal. By considering the importance of the US's role in Singapore's nation-building, this book provides an important supplement to the well-trodden narrative that attributes Singapore's success to good governance."--Back cover.…
