'Engaging, rich and nuanced, this book exposes the deep dilemmas facing this Arctic archipelago. A must for anyone with an interest in the challenges of a melting world. Ethnography at its best' Marianne E. Lien, Professor, University of Oslo'Rich and deeply textured ... Zdenka Sokolí¿ková demonstrates how the logic of extraction intersects awkwardly with community, environment, geopolitics and sustainability' Klaus Dodds, Professor, Royal Holloway University of London'Lucidly captures the dilemmas of maintaining community in the world's northernmost settlement, where climate change is particularly evident. Highly recommended!' Cecilie Vindal Ødegaard, Professor, University of BergenLongyearbyen in the Arctic is the world's northernmost settlement. Here, climate change is happening fast. It is clearly sensed by the locals; with higher temperatures, more rain and permafrost thaw. At the same time, the town is shifting from state-controlled coal production to tourism, research and development. It is rapidly globalising, with numerous languages spoken, and with cruise ships sounding their horns in the harbour while planes land and take off.A small town of 2,400 inhabitants on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, Longyearbyen provides a unique view into the unmistakable relationship between global capitalism and climate change. The Paradox of Svalbard looks at local and global trends to access a deep understanding of the effects of tourism, immigration and labour on the trajectory of the climate crisis, and what can be done to reverse it.Zdenka Sokolí¿ková is a researcher at the University of Hradec Králové, Czechia, and the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Her research in Longyearbyen was hosted by the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Getting to Know Web GIS, a workbook with detailed, step-by-step exercises, teaches readers how to share resources online and build web GIS applications easily and quickly. It covers Esri's suite of web GIS technologies including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS for Server, web app templates, WebApp Builder, API for JavaScript, mobile GIS apps, mobile SDKs, CityEngine, and 3D web maps. Holistic Approach: Unlike books that focus on individual products, this book teaches web GIS technologies as a holistic platform. Each chapter completes an application project using multiple products from server side to browser/client side. Easy to Apply: You don't have to be a developer to build web apps. This book facilitates immediate productivity. It teaches how to build engaging web apps without a single line of programming. The two chapters involving programming are easy to follow and don't require a strong programing background. Each of the 10 chapters in this book has a conceptual discussion section that gives readers the big picture and the principles, a system requirements section that helps instructors to prepare for the lab setup, a detailed tutorial section with abundant screenshots that confirm progress along the way, a Q/A section to answer common questions, an assignment section for readers to practice what they have just learned, and a robust reference section. This book is the result of the author's extensive working experience at Esri and teaching experience at Harvard University Extension and other universities. It is a practical manual for classroom lab work and on the job training for GIS students, instructors, GIS analysts, managers, web developers, and a broad range of GIS professionals.

Build production-grade web apps from scratch ¿ without using frameworks ¿ with Kotlin on the Java platform. Yoüll learn how to use and compose libraries, how to choose between different libraries, and the benefits of explicit and straight-forward code, vs. the implicit magic, conventions, and inversion of control you often see in frameworks.The book teaches the Kotlin language by building production-ready Kotlin code. Yoüll gain a deep understanding of the idiomatic use of the Kotlin language along with knowledge of how to apply Kotlin in production-grade web apps. The book also bridges the gap between building from scratch and using existing frameworks. For example, yoüll learn how to integrate Spring Security-based authentication in web apps written from scratch, so you can leverage existing tooling in your organization without having to take on the entire Spring framework. The first section of the book sets up thebase structure of your web app, such as routing, configuration files, and database migrations. The remaining chapters are broken into individual aspects of building production-ready web apps. Appendices at the end of the book explain how to use different libraries than the ones chosen in the main chapters, so you'll learn how to decouple your code from specific libraries, and choose between many different libraries to get the job done in your own web apps.What You Will LearnCompose libraries and manage boilerplate code using idiomatic and powerful KotlinManage and query SQL databases without ORMs and mapping layersWrite resilient and change-proof tests in support of test-driven development practicesCreate traditional, HTML-based web apps, APIs for JavaScript-based single-page web apps and native mobile appsManage parallelism and external service calls using Kotlin co-routinesDeploy to production using embedded servers, WAR files, and serverless approachesBridge the gap between custom-built apps and enterprise, using Spring Context and Spring SecurityWho This Book Is ForThe expert developer who is ready to take full control of the tech stack, and use the Kotlin language, type system, and standard library, to ship production-ready web apps.

In dieser Arbeit wird das Recht als Instrument zur Bewältigung der Herausforderungen des Meeresspiegelanstiegs untersucht. Da sich die beiden exemplarisch ausgewählten Länder in ihren Anpassungsstrategien und den entsprechenden rechtlichen Regelungen deutlich unterscheiden, stellt der Autor allgemeine Ideen vor, wie jeder rechtliche Rahmen, der vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen steht, verbessert werden könnte. Insbesondere werden (Hochwasser-)Risikobewertungen, Küstenschutz und hochwassersichere Bauweise sowie Raum- und Landnutzungsplanung, einschließlich des kontrollierten Rückzugs, diskutiert. Aufgrund der gründlichen Analyse ist dieses Buch nicht nur eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für politische Entscheidungsträger und Forscher, die sich für den Küstenbereich interessieren, sondern für die Anpassung an den Klimawandel im Allgemeinen, da viele allgemeine Erkenntnisse auf andere Auswirkungen übertragbar sind.

"Sea level rise will make all current atlases obsolete as it encroaches on coastlines and erases whole islands from the Arctic to the South Pacific. In Christina Gerhardt's stunning atlas of the present and future, we not only see these living places disappear in stages, but hear from their inhabitants in this mix of cartography, science, history, and urgent outcry about the climate crisis. This book makes tangible and visible both the physical changes and their cultural, emotional, and social impact."--Rebecca Solnit, author of several books including Infinite Cities: A Trilogy of Atlases--San Francisco, New Orleans, New York "This book presents islands as more than just geographic locations, as places of resilience replete with history and culture laced with the fiber that underscores the interface of planet, people, and other beings in the time of looming catastrophic climate change. Sea Change: An Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean maps hopes and histories and offers cautionary tales and wake-up calls couched in sensitive yet expansive poetics of life. This is a rare gift."--Nnimmo Bassey, author of To Cook a Continent: Destructive Extraction and the Climate Crisis in Africa "Islands are extraordinarily rich--in history, culture, and biodiversity. In an age of climate change, they're also incredibly vulnerable. At once lyrical and clear-sighted, Sea Change: An Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean invites us to rethink our relationship to these magical, threatened places."--Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History "A vital guide to understanding and navigating this time of rising oceans. A love song to island peoples and civilizations facing unimaginable loss. A paean of resistance and re-visioning, towards livable futures."--Shailja Patel, author of Migritude "In this engaging and timely work, Gerhardt maps how islands have and will continue to change due to rising sea levels. She invites us to see these changes, not only through the form and genre of the atlas, but also through the eyes, voices, and perspectives of islanders themselves."--Craig Santos Perez, author of Navigating CHamoru Poetry: Indigeneity, Aesthetics, and Decolonization "Christina Gerhardt's Sea Change is an urgent resource for an urgent moment of social and climatological upheaval. Islands--reproduced in a colonial imagination as bounded, isolated geographies--are dynamic sites of political imagination and ecological worldmaking. Gerhardt provides us with a grammar to make sense of our shared predicaments and unsung solidarities as island-dwelling communities."--Ryan Jobson, University of Chicago
