It is a great honor to be asked to introduce this exciting new volume, having been heavily involved in the first comprehensive synthesis in the early 1980s. Gibbons are the most enthralling of primates. On the one hand, they are the most appealing animals, with their upright posture and body shape, facial markings, dramatic arm-swinging locomotion and suspensory postures, and devastating duets; on the other hand, the small apes are the most diverse, hence biologically valuable and informative, of our closest relatives. It is hard for me to believe that it is 40 years to the month since I first set foot on the Malay Peninsula to start my doctoral study of the siamang. I am very proud to have followed in the footsteps of the great pioneer of primate field study, Clarence Ray Carpenter (CR or Ray, who I was fortunate to meet twice, in Pennsylvania and in Zurich), first in Central America (in 1967) and then in Southeast Asia. It is 75 years since he studied howler monkeys on Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal Zone. It is 70 years since he studied the white-handed gibbon in Thailand.

The Origins of Mountains approaches mountains from facts about mountain landscapes rather than theory. The book illustrates that almost everywhere, mountains arose by vertical uplift of a former plain, and by a mixture of cracking and warping by earth movements, and erosion by rivers and glaciers, the present mountainous landscapes were created. It also gives evidence that this uplift only occured in the last few million years, a time scale which does not fit the plate tectonics theory. Another fascinating part of the evidence, shows that mountain uplift correlates very well with climatic change. Mountain building could have been responsible for the onset of the ice age. It certainly resulted in the creation of new environments. Fossil plants and animals are used in places to work out the time of mountain uplift, which in turn helps to explain biogeographical distributions.

This volume brings together a group of authors that address the question of the first out of Africa into Asia c. 2 Ma. The scope of the book is comprehensive as it covers almost every major region of Asia. The primary goal of this volume is to provide an updated synthesis of the current state of the Asian paleoanthropological and paleoenvironmental records. Papers include detailed studies of the theoretical constructs underlying the move out of Africa, including detailed reconstructions of the paleoenvironment and possible migration routes. Other papers detail the Plio-Pleistocene archaeological and hominin fossil records of particular regions.

This novel text assembles some of the most intriguing voices in modern conservation biology. Collectively they highlight many of the most challenging questions being asked in conservation science today, each of which will benefit from new experiments, new data, and new analyses. The book's principal aim is to inspire readers to tackle these uncomfortable issues head-on. A second goal is to be reflective and consider how the field has reacted to challenges to orthodoxy, and to what extent have or can these challenges advance conservation science. Furthermore, several chapters discuss how to guard against confirmation bias. The overall goal is that this book will lead to greater conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity by harnessing the engine of constructive scientific scepticism in service of better results.

This book is a collective undertaking of all faculty members of the Geography Department, HKBU. It provides readers with a concise and authoritative account of the geography of one of China’s most dynamic development regions — Hong Kong, Macau and the Pearl River Delta region. This book is divided thematically into 4 parts. Part I introduces the unique geographical characteristics of the region. Part II focuses on environmental and landscape dynamics and the impacts of rapid economic development on the natural environment since 1978. Part III ponders on developmental issues, such as urbanization, industrialization, energy development, transportation, socio-economic development and planning issues. Chapters of this part succinctly analyze these issues in the context of regional development and globalization concerns. Part IV discusses the sustainable future of the region.

The Japan Association for Quaternary Research (JAQUA) and the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), celebrated their 50th and 125th anniversaries, respectively, with an international symposium entitled 'Quaternary Environmental Changes and Humans in Asia and the Western Pacific', November 19-22, 2007, in Tsukuba, Japan. This volume represents the papers presented at the session Environmental Changes and Human Occupation in North and East Asia during OIS 3 and OIS 2, focusing on the correlation between environmental changes and human activities among Palaeolithic sites in North and East Asia. Contents: 1) High-Resolution Climate Reconstruction for the Past 72Ka from Pollen, Total Organic Carbon (Toc) and Total Nitrogen (Tn) Analyses of Cored Sediments From Lake Nojiri, Central Japan (Fujio Kumon, Sayuri Kawai and Yoshio Inouchi); 2) Absolute Chronology of Archaeological and Paleoenvironmental Records from the Japanese Islands, 40-15 ka BP (Yuichiro Kudo); 3) Terrestrial Mammal Faunas in the Japanese Islands during OIS 3 and OIS 2 (Yoshinari Kawamura and Ryohei Nakagawa); 4) A New OIS 2 and OIS 3 Terrestrial Mammal Assemblage on Miyako Island (Ryukyus), Japan (Ryohei Nakagawa et al.); 5) Taphonomy of Vertebrate Remains from Funakubu Second Cave in Okinawa Island, Japan (Shin Nunami and Ryohei Nakagawa); 6) Formative History of Terrestrial Fauna of the Japanese Islands during the Plio-Pleistocene (Keiichi Takahashi and Masami Izuho); 7) Some Issues on the Origin of Microblade Industries in Northeast Asia during OIS2 (Anatoly Kuznetsov); 8) Re-evaluation of the Chronology and Technology of Palaeolithic Assemblages in the Imjin-Hantan River Area, Korea (Yongwook Yoo); 9) The Upper Paleolithic of Hokkaido: Current Evidence and Its Geochronological Framework (Masami Izuho et al.); 10) Pioneer Phase of Obsidian Use in the Upper Palaeolithic and the Emergence of Modern Human Behavior in the Japanese Islands (Kazutaka Shimada).
