Abstract

Reminding readers of John Dryden's persistent use of occult rhetoric, Armistead argues that Dryden's otherworldliness involves more than Christian apologetics, biblical typology, or intermittent borrowings from the supernatural materials in classical literature. Otherworldly John Dryden engages with a wide range of the writer's poetry and plays, enhancing our understanding of Dryden's works and tracing the writer's attitudes about Providence and the ability of the poet to perceive a hidden design in earthly events.

Abstract

Although the main focus of this book is on the estuaries, its scope goes well beyond this particular coastal feature. Indeed, the estuary can only be considered as part of the life cycle of the entire river and the marine area it feeds into: an area particularly subject to human and natural pressures. The main estuaries and deltas of West and Central Africa region provide a variety of goods and services to its coastal population. The most important of them are related to critical fish habitat, wood and charcoal from mangroves, as well as space for agriculture, aquaculture, urban development, tourism and transport. Particular emphasis has been made in this book on mangroves that play a significant role in terms of flood control, groundwater replenishment, coastline stabilization and protection against storms. They also retain sediments and nutrients, purify water, and provide critical carbon storage. Such hydrological and ecological functions explain the focus on serving mangrove ecosystems and the nearby communities, which draw significant income from fishing, rice production, tourism, salt extraction and other activities such as harvesting honey and medicinal plants, hence the need for preserving mangrove ecosystems to ensure sustainability of the estuaries and deltas of West and Central Africa region. The book has a foreword by Mr. Achim Steiner, United Nations Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UNEP who is stating that credible and up-to-date information is essential for the public at large but more specifically for scientists, researchers, managers, decision-makers all working together in order to safeguard, protect and sustainably manage estuaries, deltas and lagoons, and the coastal and ocean waters of Western and Central Africa.

Abstract

The monograph presents different names of Piran Bay (Slo. Piranski zaliv) over time. Despite the leading onomastic topic, the publication is designed as a regional-geographic review of Piran Bay and its hinterland, where all the main physical- and socio-geographical characteristics are presented. This book describes the basic hydro-geographic characteristics of Piran Bay as a part of Gulf of Trieste and the Adriatic Sea. The monograph talks about the historical development, salt making in Sečovlje salt pans and the circumstances that led to the now more than two decades-long border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. A significant chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the different naming of the Bay of Piran through time. According to the chronological order, 104 different cartographic sources present the name changes of the Piran Bay through time and when a certain specific geographic name appeared. Based on media analysis, one of the chapters describes the relation between the names Savudrijska vala or Savudrijski zaljev (Savudrija Bay) and Piranski zaliv or Piranski zaljev (Piran Bay). Monografija predstavlja različna poimenovanja Piranskega zaliva skozi čas. Kljub vodilni imenoslovni tematiki je publikacija zasnovana tudi kot regionalnogeografski prikaz Piranskega zaliva in njegovega zaledja, pri čemer so predstavljene tako poglavitne naravnogeografske kot družbenogeografske značilnosti. Posebej so izpostavljene temeljne hidrogeografske poteze Piranskega zaliva kot dela Tržaškega zaliva in Jadranskega morja. Precejšen poudarek je namenjen zgodovinskemu razvoju, pri čemer je izpostavljeno solinarstvo s Sečoveljskimi solinami. Podrobneje so osvetljene tudi okoliščine, ki so privedle do zdaj že več kot dve desetletji trajajočega mejnega spora med Slovenijo in Hrvaško. Osrednje poglavje obravnava poimenovanja območja Piranskega zaliva skozi čas. V njem so kronološko razvrščeni 104 različni kartografski viri, ki omogočajo razbrati, kako se je poimenovanje zaliva spreminjalo skozi čas in kdaj se je določeno ime pojavilo oziroma, kdaj je prevladovalo. Na podlagi medijske analize je prikazana raba novodobnih hrvaških imen Savudrijska vala/Savudrijski zaljev na eni strani in starega slovenskega imena Piranski zaliv oziroma starega hrvaškega Piranski zaljev na drugi.
