Product Description
Buenos Aires is a city of fascinating contrasts. The most southerly of the worlds great metropolises, it absolutely dominates the Argentine urban system, but is relatively isolated from the rest of Latin America and the global economic and political system. The archetypal elegance and social sophistication of "the Paris of the South" is set against problems of poor housing, social deprivation and suburban sprawl. As Argentina struggles to maintain a democracy, the future stability of the region depends on how this vital, varied and vulnerable city comes to terms with the need to restructure in the face of economic, environmental and demographic crises. The examination of restructuring processes in Buenos Aires is organised around four major themes: economic change, accessibility and mobility, environmental impacts and cultural adjustments. The book begins with an overview of the citys four hundred year history which forms the basis for an examination of the contemporary urban landscape. This leads to an analysis of local politics in relation to planning and housing policies which is followed by a consideration of changes in the citys economic structures and an examination of Buenos Aires national, regional and global transport links. The book then turns to a detailed look at the citys urban transport networks and surveys the citys green spaces, environmental problems and health care systems. It also provides a detailed analysis of the cultural geography of Buenos Aires and the implications for the "Latin-Americanizing" of a city that was traditionally the most European of the South American cities. The book concludes with some suggestions for future planning policies in Buenos Aires. David J. Keeling provides a highly illustrated and authoritative portrait of a major World City. It is essential reading for students of urban and regional geography, Latin American specialists of all disciplines and social scientists interested in urban issues. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Negro River (Spanish: Río Negro) means black river, and is the most important river of the Argentine province of Río Negro. The river allows the Río Negro province to produce 65% of the pears and apples of Argentina. Besides irrigation, the river is also source of hydroelectricity with small dams on its course. The river served as natural demarcation between "civilisation" and the aboriginal territories during the Conquest of the Desert of late 19th century. The river is divided into three parts: The Alto Valle (High Valley) near the beginning of the river, Valle Medio (Medium Valley) near Choele Choel, and Valle Inferior (Inferior Valley) near its end. The river crosses the steppe plains of the province through a forest of around three kilometres in the Alto Valle, and as wide as 20 kilometres towards the Valle Inferior. In the dry plain it is possible to find seashells and pebble. ... Read more

Chapters: Southern Patagonian Ice Field, Perito Moreno Glacier, Viedma Glacier, Patagonian Ice Sheet, Upsala Glacier, Polish Glacier. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 24. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Southern Patagonian Ice Field -The merged outlet of Penguin Glacier and HPS 19.The Southern Patagonian Ice Field extends from parallels 48° 20 S to 51° 30 S for approximately 350 kilometres, and has an area of 16,800 km², of which roughly 14,000 km² fall within Chile and 2,500 km² within Argentina. The ice mass feeds dozens of glaciers in the area, among which are the Upsala (902 km²), Viedma (978 km²) and Perito Moreno (258 km²) in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, and the Pío XI Glacier or Bruggen Glacier (1,265 km², the biggest and longest in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica), O'Higgins (820 km²), Grey (270 km²) and Tyndall (331 km²) in Chile. The glaciers going to the west flow into the fjords of the Patagonian channels of the Pacific Ocean; those going to the East flow into the Patagonian lakes Viedma and Argentino, and eventually, through the rivers de la Leona and Santa Cruz, to the Atlantic Ocean. An important part of the ice field is protected under different national parks, such as the Bernardo O'Higgins and Torres del Paine in Chile, and the aforementioned Los Glaciares in Argentina. There are several volcanoes under the glaciers, such as Lautaro Volcano. Thorough explorations include the expeditions of Federico Reichert (1913-1914), Alberto de Agostini (1931), and Harold William Tilman and Jorge Quinteros (1955-1956); as well as Eric Shipton (1960-61). First full (North-South) crossing of the field was accomplished in 1998 by Pablo Besser, Mauricio Rojas, José Montt and Rodrigo Fica. Nevertheless some areas of the field remain largely unexplo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4793454 ... Read more

Excerpt:Water privatisation in England was undertaken in 1989 by the government of Margaret Thatcher which privatised the ten previously public regional water and sewerage companies in England and Wales through divestiture (sale of assets). At the same time the economic regulatory agency OFWAT was created, following the model of infrastructure regulatory agencies set up in other sectors such as telecommunications and energy. The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) was set up in 1990 to monitor water safety and quality. The Environment Agency monitors river and environmental pollution. Water privatisation in England and Wales remains controversial. A 2001 study by the Public Services International Research Unit, which is affiliated with trade unions and opposes privatisation, stated that At privatisation the industry's 4.95 billion Pound debt was written off. On the other hand, a World Bank paper argues that the reforms The World Bank paper agrees that tariffs and profits increased. There are also 16 mostly smaller water only companies in England that have been privately owned since the 19th century. In Scotland and Northern Ireland water and sewerage services have remained in public ownership.

Excerpt: Georgi Kinkladze (born 6 July 1973), also known as Georgiou, Giorgi, Gio or Kinky, is a retired Georgian footballer who played as a midfielder. A playmaker, he first came to prominence with his performances for Georgia against Wales in 1994 and 1995. He transferred from his hometown team Dinamo Tbilisi to English Premier League club Manchester City in 1995, where his dribbling ability and spectacular goals made him a cult hero, winning the club's Player of the Year award in two consecutive seasons. After enduring two relegations with City he joined Ajax in 1998, but did not settle and returned to England with Derby County a little over a year later. He spent four years at Derby, making nearly 100 appearances. After leaving Derby in 2003 he became a journeyman footballer, having unsuccessful trials at several clubs before joining Cypriot club Anorthoss Famagusta in 2004, where he won a league championship medal. He finished his playing career with Russian club Rubin Kazan in 2006. Georgi Kinkladze was born on 6 July 1973 in Tbilisi, Georgia, part of the former Soviet Union. As a child he lived in the Didube district of the city with his father Robinzon (an engineer), his mother Khatuna (a teacher) and his elder sister. Robinzon was keen to see his son succeed as a footballer, sometimes making him walk around the family home on his knees to strengthen his legs, and enrolled him for Dinamo Tbilisi's junior side when he was six years old. Khatuna disapproved of some of her husband's methods, instead taking Georgi to lessons in mtiuluri, a traditional Georgian ballet. Over the next few years Kinkladze played in Dinamo Tbilisi's youth teams, progressing as far as the second team, where he played alongside Shota Arveladze, who would later become hi...
