, the hypothesis of an emerging global agenda of life politics. It locates the biodiversity crisis within current controversies. It is suggested to trace the development of this policy area back to the early 20th century and to reread it in the light of different
Physical geographical factors have always affected the spatial pattern of settlement network. The effects of water should be counted with even today. The study exemplifies the role of floods in the development of settlements with two older (1879
Counting fish : performative data, anglers' knowledge-practices and environmental measurement
Using a case study of recreational angling, the A. shows how fish in English rivers and lakes are counted and anglers act as lay or amateur knowledge-producers in the state's metrological knowledge-practices. She shows how, to support environmental
The granulometry of samples of marine and estuarian slime has been measured using two different methods. The first uses sedimentation (Sedigraph 5000 E) while the second counts the particles (Coulter Counter TA II). A good correlation of the results
of the two machines exists for the fraction between 50 m and 2 m and a reasonably good correlation exists for smaller particles, in consideration of a modification of the method of extrapolation of the HP 87 programme of the Coulter Counter.
Art of war, art of resistance : Palestinian counter-cartography on Google Earth

Rural gated developments as a contributor to post-productivism in the Western Cape
Gated developments have increasingly become part of the rural locale in South Africa. While rural gated developments offer features of security, community and exclusivity in an idyllic rural setting, their proliferation can be linked to a wider

Building upon the foundations of gentrification: inner-city housing development in Australia in the 1990s
Evidence is presented of recovery in the inner-suburban terrace housing submarket, and what began as counter-cyclical investment in Australia. This latest phase of residential revitalization in the inner city heralds a trend to higher-value, high
-rise living at the center of Australian cities. Concerted government action is necessary to prime the core-area market for residential project development in the 1991-1993 years. Consideration is given to the implications for gentrification research
