Drawing from rock art, archaeology, paleoecological data, trade, ancient hydrological technology, vegetation, social memory and historical documentation, this book creates detailed reconstructions of past climate change adaptations across Sahelian Africa. It evaluates the present and future challenges to climate change adaptation in the region in terms of social memory, rainfall variability, environmental change and armed conflicts and examines the ways in which governance and policy drivers may undermine pastoralists' adaptive strategies. The book's scope covers the Red Sea coast, Somaliland, Somalia, the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, and northern Kenya, part of the Ethiopian highlands and Eritrea, areas where past climate change has been extreme and future change makes it vital to understand the dynamics of adaptation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental history, human ecology, geography, climate change, environment studies, development studies, pastoralism, anthropology and African studies" Anpassung (DE-588)4128128-7 gnd Hirtenkultur (DE-588)4159964-0 gnd Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 gnd Historische Ökologie (DE-588)4410319-0 gnd BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Sustainable Development bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy bisacsh Hirtenvolk (DE-588)4159970-6 gnd Viehwirtschaft (DE-588)4188247-7 gnd Pastoral systems Environmental aspects Africa, Eastern Pastoral systems Environmental aspects Horn of Africa Climatic changes Africa, Eastern Herders Africa, Eastern History Herders Horn of Africa History Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd Somalihalbinsel (DE-588)4077510-0 gnd BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero afbs-mono idsbb A Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS zbzmon201407f tobt zbzswk201407b wart idszbz Z2 ng SzZuIDS BS/BE af SzZuIDS BS/BE ZB630 Z01 IDSBB A202 A202 FH DG AE 16071 NELA2021509 / Akz: k/15,483 IDSBB A322 A322 FH TPH SF 61- 7 IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RFA 72962 NELB4001707 IDSBB 100 1- Oba Gufu 1952- (DE-588)1136310983 IDSBB 490 0- Routledge advances in climate change research NEBIS 100 1- Oba Gufu 1952- (DE-588)1136310983 NEBIS 490 -- Routledge advances in climate change research RERO 100 1- Oba Gufu (IDREF)175273596 cre RERO 490 0- Routledge advances in climate change research NEBIS ZAD50 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-1-138-01399-5_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006418196/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
