Climate changes and climate oscillations were associated with changing precipitation and drought regimes, flooding, siltation, landslides, etc. The prehistorical forest was also influenced by the effects of large wildlife populations.

Overview: This book deals with the religious aspects and consequences of the Renaissance and Humanism. It is therefore advisable that these terms should first be defined to some extent. By Re­ naissance is meant here the new element in Westem European culture, which became more and more evident in Italy during the 15th century and in about 1500 completely dominated the great minds in that country. In the 16th century this new ele­ ment was carried to the countries on the other side of the Alps, where it developed vigorously during that century. The new element in that culture is found in the p

Overview: These essays cover topics as radically diverse as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Václav Havel, The Magic Flute and Viz magazine. All have been published before, and many have already proved controversial. The author, a leading Oakeshott scholar, contributes frequently to the TLS .

Overview: Given a series of wind speeds and directions from the port of Fremantle the aim of this monograph is to detect general weather patterns and seasonal characteristics. To separate the daily land and sea breeze cycle and other short-term disturbances from the general wind, the series is divided into a daily and a longer term, synoptic component. The latter is related to the atmospheric pressure field, while the former is studied in order i) to isolate particular short-term events such as calms, storms and oscillating winds, and ii) to determine the land and sea breeze cycle which domina

Overview: Tymieniecka‘s phenomenology of life reverses currentpriorities, stressing the primogenital role of aesthetic enjoyment,rather than cognition, as typifying the Human Condition. The presentcollection offers clues to a crucial breakthrough in the perennialuncertainties about the powers and prerogatives of the human mind. Itproposes human creativity as the pivot of the mind‘s genesis and itsendowment. In the midst of the current defiance of the transcendentalcertainties of cognition, this turn to the creative act of the humanbeing represents a radical reversion to an approach to human po

Overview: Financial markets in Britain, and elsewhere, are in the midst of a process of fundamental structural change. The resulting shifts in the behaviour of such markets will require the authorities, in turn, to revise their regulatory and control methods.

Within this unified framework, the articles range from descriptive accounts of recent developments in bank supervision and in the structure o
