Than Shwe – unmasking Burma’s tyrant

Than Shwe – unmasking Burma’s tyrant
Than Shwe, most notorious dictator, presides over a military regime that persist in repressing and brutalizing its own people. The book provides the first-ever account of Than Shwe’s carrier from postal clerk to dictator. It analyses his rise
of Than Shwe, and life in Burma under his rule. He explains why it is futile to expect any kind of engagement with the military without international pressure. Under Than Shwe’s rule the regime has destroyed Burma’s economy and wrought extraordinarily

Létezik-e egymillio évesnél idosebb valodi losz? (Is there typical loess older than one million years?)
In recent years ever more characteristic loess profiles have been analyzed in Eurasia by absolute dating techniques. For most of the investigations, the lithologically sensu stricto true loesses are not or hardly older than the Jaramillo event (0.9

Is typical loess older than one million years? in Lithology and stratigraphy of loess and paleosols.
Recent analyses of loesses indicate that the lithologically sensu stricto true loesses are not older than the Jaramillo event (0.9 m.y. B.P.). The features of the so-celled loess-like sediments or loess derivates are summarized. Paleomagnetic

Freeze-thaw and wetting-drying experiments with about 90 different Swedish rocks are described. On an average sandstones decompose 11 times faster than granites. The soft sedimentary rocks included in the experiment have produced between 1 100
and 31 000 times more material of grain sizes less than 1 mm than the mean for granites. The observed weathering rate from the freeze-thaw cycles is about 100 times slower than the rate calculated by measuring the height of quartz veins above

More than meets the eye? : pedagogic implications of a visually effective geographic metaphor

The national geography standards and your undergraduate curriculum: the opportunity that knocks more than once

Prevention is better than cure

Large metropolitan areas suffer net losses of internal migrants for reasons other than the flow of immigrants to these localities. The finding of a significant linkage between internal migration and immigration depends on the empirical experiment
used. The models show that the net migration loss of unskilled native workers from metropolitan areas is a function of the cities's population size rather than immigrant flow to them. It is more likely the result of industrial restructuring than

Erosion rather than plant dieback as the mechanism of marsh loss in an estuarine marsh
study to test the hypothesis that broken marsh vegetation is more stressed than unbroken marsh vegetation at Marsh Island, and to identify factors limiting vegetation.

Four holocene alluvial fills are present. Fill IV, the oldest and thickest, was deposited between 10 200 and 4 800 C 14 yr B.P.| Fill III has an age of about 3 000 C 14 yr B.P.| Fill II is younger than 2 100 and older than 900 C 14 yr B.P.| and Fill
I is younger than 900 C 14 yr B.P. Regional contemporaneity of valley alluviation in the eastcentral Great Plains suggests that climate has controlled long-term sediment storage in the South Loup River valley.

A home is more than a house : environmental considerations in low cost housing development in Khayelitsha, Cape
An investigation in Khayelitsha, a large African township on the periphery of Cape Town, revealed the degree to which its residents were trapped, figuratively, within its confines during the course of their daily lives rather than taking advantage

Fewer freeze-thaw cycles were recorded in the air than at 1 and 3.5 cm in the bedrock, between December 1983 and April 1984. The number of cycles that could be declared geomorphologically effective according to established temperature criteria
was normally less than half the total number of freeze - thaw cycles recorded in both air and bedrock. Under the current temperature regime at the field site, few effective cycles are capable of penetrating more than 5 cm into the free face.

The principal feature of the main anticline area of Ardenne is the right handed lateral shearing fault of La Carbonnière-Opont spreading over a distance of more than 60 km long with an horizontal offsetting reaching 15 or 18 km. It is a hercynian
event older than metamorphism, cleavage and folding but earlier than transverse faulting. (L'A.).

This paper is concerned with qualitative rather than quantitative unpredictability. For example, rather than a concern with estimating runoff volumes or peak flows associated with land use change, the issue is whether runoff will increase, decrease
rather than precision.

Sticky lives : slugs, detachment and more-than-human ethics in the garden
This article examines slugs, detachment and more-than-human ethics in the garden in London, England. First, it describes how slugs and gardeners are ‘sticky’: joined together by shared histories, curiosity and disgust. It then shifts to examine how
-than-human ethics. In conclusion the paper argues for looser mappings of relationality and ethics that attend more fully to the distance between species.

Is urban land price adjustment more sluggish than housing price adjustment? empirical evidence
This article hypothesises that, due to factors such as thin trading and lack of publicly available data on transactions in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area land market, urban land prices react more sluggishly to shocks in market fundamentals than
housing prices do. The results suggest that new information regarding the market fundamentals is more rapidly reflected in housing prices than in land prices. Nevertheless, it is the housing price level, instead of land prices, that adjusts towards
