Taylor & Francis Ltd Climate Change and Water Resources in South Asia
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the most pressing water resource issues in South Asia, particularly in relation to climate change and variability. This is a region characterised by abundant water during the monsoon, when devastating floods occur, and by scarcity of water and droughts during the dry period. These extreme events often cause substantial damage to infrastructure, property, livestock and human populations. Agriculture and other key economic sectors suffer greatly during these events. The results of climate and hydrologic models indicate increased vulnerability unless adequate adaptation measures are designed and implemented. Such policies need to rely on a framework that includes active participation of the stakeholders.Table of ContentsPART 1 Remote-sensing sensors, data retreival and assimilation,and technology transfer 1 Remote sensing and hydrology 2 Hydrologic data assimilation 3 Analysis of remotely sensed data 4 Technology transfer in remote-sensing applications PART 2 Remote-sensing data applications 5 Computing and mapping of evapotranspiration 6 Satellite remote sensing of soil moisture 7 Ensemble streamflow forecasting: methods and applications 8 Regional climatic variability and its impacts on flood and drought hazards 9 Climate drivers, streamflow forecasting, and flood risk management 10 Remote sensing in water resource management 11 Geospatial information technology in watershed PART 3 Water resource management: case historiesRunoff agroforestry 13 Water pollution and its numerical modeling in coastal watersheds Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Groundwater Intensive Use
Book SynopsisIntensive use of groundwater has resolved the demand for drinking water and, through irrigation, has contributed to the eradication of malnourishment in many developing countries. The spectacular worldwide increase in groundwater use in the last decades, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, has been a silent revolution carried out by millions of small farmers. In some instances, groundwater abstraction has caused problems of quality degradation, excessive drawdown of groundwater levels, land subsidence, reduction of spring and baseflows or degradation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems. Most of these problems could be anticipated, mitigated, or even avoided with more active water agencies, adequate regulations and usersâ participation in management. Groundwater Intensive Use contains a selection of papers presented at a symposium held in December 2002 in Valencia, Spain. It constitutes a step forward in creating a greater worldwide awareness of the relevance of groundwater in Table of ContentsForeword, M. R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Public Space The Management Dimension
Book SynopsisIn both the UK and the US there is a sense of dissatisfaction and pessimism about the state of urban environments, particularly with the quality of everyday public spaces. Explanations for this have emphasized the poor quality of design that characterizes many new public spaces; spaces that are dominated by parking, roads infrastructure, introspective buildings, a lack of enclosure and a poor sense of place, and which in different ways for different groups are too often exclusionary.Yet many well designed public spaces have also experienced decline and neglect, as the services and activities upon which the continuing quality of those spaces have been subject to the same constraints and pressures for change as public services in general. These issues touch upon the daily management of public space, that is, the coordination of the many different activities that constantly define and redefine the characteristics and quality of public space.This book draws on three empirical projects to examine the questions of public space management on an international stage. They are set within a context of theoretical debates about public space, its history, contemporary patterns of use and changing nature in western society, and about the new management approaches that are increasingly being adopted.Table of ContentsPart 1: Conceptualising Public Space and its Management 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dyke Swarms Time Markers of Crustal Evolution
Book SynopsisDyke swarms are remnants of large igneous provinces, and are pointers of continental break-up events, as well as indicators for ancient continental reconstructions. These global geodynamic aspects are of crucial significance in tectonics, and with recent developments in high-precision age, dating it has become possible to enter these short-lived magmatic events into a global data base. Every five years, scientists have met to consider new results and potential directions relating to the study of igneous dykes. At the Fifth International Dyke Conference, held in Rovaniemi, Finland in August 2005, igneous dykes, with particular attention to mafic dykes and dyke swarms, came under scrutiny. The properties of dykes, from Archean to Miocene, were explored in terms of mineralogy, geochemistry, isotopes, geochronology and paleomagnetics. This is a selection of twelve papers presented in Rovaniemi, together with updates of six papers from the South African meeting in 2001. For those who wish to have a summary of the current international status of igneous dykes, and their significance in interpreting geological and tectonic processes, this book is invaluable.Table of ContentsIDC5 papers Short-lived mantle generated magmatic events and their dyke swarms: The key unlocking Earth's palaeogeographic record back to 2.6 GaW.

Taylor & Francis Samkaras Advaita Vedanta
Book SynopsisSamkara (c.700 CE) has been regarded by many as the most authoritative Hindu thinker of all time. A great Indian Vedantin brahmin, Samkara was primarily a commentator on the sacred texts of the Vedas and a teacher in the Advaitin teaching line. This book serves as an introduction to Samkara's thought which takes this as a central theme. The author develops an innovative approach based on Samkara's ways of interpreting sacred texts and creatively examines the profound interrelationship between sacred text, content and method in Samkara's thought. The main focus of the book is on Samkara's teaching method. This method is, for Samkara, based on the Upanishads' own; it is to be employed by Advaitin teachers to draw pupils skilfully towards that realisation which is beyond all words. Consequently, this book will be of interest not only to students and scholars of Indian philosophy, but to all those interested in the relation between language and that which is held to transcend it.Trade Review'This book provides an excellent introduction to Samkara's work, while making a number of original arguments that are sure to be influencial in future studies on Samkara' - Brian Black, South Asia Research, Vol. 26 (2)Table of ContentsIntroduction: Studying the Teacher 1.

Taylor & Francis The Buddhist Unconscious
Book SynopsisThis is the story of fifth century CE India, when the Yogacarin Buddhists tested the awareness of unawareness, and became aware of human unawareness to an extraordinary degree. They not only explicitly differentiated this dimension of mental processes from conscious cognitive processes, but also offered reasoned arguments on behalf of this dimension of mind. This is the concept of the 'Buddhist unconscious', which arose just as philosophical discourse in other circles was fiercely debating the limits of conscious awareness, and these ideas in turn had developed as a systematisation of teachings from the Buddha himself. For us in the twenty-first century, these teachings connect in fascinating ways to the Western conceptions of the 'cognitive unconscious' which have been elaborated in the work of Jung and Freud. This important study reveals how the Buddhist unconscious illuminates and draws out aspects of current western thinking on the unconscious mind.

CRC Press Natural Arsenic in Groundwaters of Latin America
Book SynopsisGroundwater resources naturally contain high levels of arsenic in many parts of the world. Over the last two decades, the As-containing groundwater in South-East Asia has received much attention, but the situation is just as crucial in Latin America, where the number of studies is still relatively low, and the extent and severity of As-exposure in the populations has yet to be fully evaluated. This book aims to promote knowledge of the occurrence and genesis of As-rich groundwater in Latin America. It deals with constraints on the mobility of As in groundwater, As-uptake from soil and water by plants, As-propagation through the food chain, human health impacts, and As-removal technologies. Case studies are presented from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru, amongst others, and are viewed against the background of experience from other world regions.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Connecting Cultures
Book SynopsisThis lively and incisive collection of essays from an international group of scholars explores the interactions between cultures originating in Africa, India, the Caribbean, and Europe. Those interactions have been both destructive and richly productive, and the consequences continue to 'trouble the living stream' today. Several of the essays focus on the continuing reverberations of political and cultural conflicts in post-Apartheid Southern Africa, including the presence in Britain of Zimbabwean asylum seekers. Other authors discuss the ways in which Indian culture has transformed novelistic and cinematic forms. A third group of essays examines the attempts of West Indian women writers to reclaim their territory and describe it in their own terms. The collection as a whole is framed by essays which deal with discourses of 'terror' and 'terrorism' and how we translate and read them in the wake of 9/11.This book was previously published as a special issue of Third World QTable of ContentsConnecting Cultures.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Evaluation and Prevention of Natural Risks
Book SynopsisThe assessment and prevention of risks inherent to natural phenomena is of topical interest to the scientific community and other authorities dealing with territorial management. Historical analysis carried out in the Piemonte-territory in north-western Italy, focusing on the consequences of hydrogeological risks, reveals that damage is continually increasing. This can partly be explained by the consistent expansion of urbanized areas at the expense of areas that are essential to the natural modelling processes of the region; the damage resulting from hydrogeological instability often being associated with incompatible territorial decisions. This text gives a detailed account of a series of experiences related to activities that ARPA Piemonte has carried out focusing on the cognitive and forecasting aspects related to risk assessment and alerting procedures.

Book SynopsisMen and women experience the city differently: in relation to housing assets, use of transport, relative mobility, spheres of employment and a host of domestic and caring responsibilities. An analysis of urban and gender studies, as co-constitutive subjects, is long overdue.Cities and Gender is a systematic treatment of urban and gender studies combined. It presents both a feminist critique of mainstream urban policy and planning and a gendered reorientation of key urban social, environmental and city-regional debates.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Regionalism in South Asia
Book SynopsisThe dramatic surge in regional integration schemes over the past two decades has been one of the most important developments in world politics. Virtually all countries are now members of at least one regional grouping. South Asia is no exception to this trend. In December 1985, seven South Asian countries came together to establish South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to address issues of peace and development in the region. This book examines regionalism in South Asia, exploring the linkages between institutional structures, government capabilities, and domestic actors' preferences to explain the dynamics of regional cooperation. It considers the formation and evolution of SAARC, explaining why its growth in terms of institutional developments and program implementation has remained modest and slow over the past two decades.

Taylor & Francis Irigaray for Architects
Book SynopsisSpecifically for architects, the third title in the Thinkers for Architects series examines the relevance of Luce Irigarayâs work for architecture. Eight thematic chapters explore the bodily, spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for making, discussing and experiencing architecture. In particular, each chapter makes accessible Irigarayâs ideas about feminine and masculine spaces with reference to her key texts. Irigarayâs theory of âsexed subjectsâ is explained in order to show how sexuality informs the different ways in which men and women construct and inhabit architecture. In addition, her ideas about architectural forms of organization between people, exterior and interior spaces, touch and vision, philosophy and psychoanalysis are explored. The book also suggests ways in which these strategies can enable architectural designers and theorists to create ethical architectures for the user and his or her physical and psychological needsTable of Contents1.

This definitive collection showcases an introduction to Ecological Modernisation Theory; state-of-the-art review essays by key international scholars and a selection of the key articles from a quarter-century of social science scholarship. It is aimed at students, researchers and policymakers interested in a deep understanding of contemporary environmental issuesTrade Review'...this volume offers a comprehensive synthesis of the emergence and evolution of scholarly enquiry into ecological modernization.''...if this volume serves as a launching pad rather than culmination, then EM is poised to make substantial gains in the environmental studies and sciences. The break from the tendency to rely solely on ecological theories to explain society’s relationship with ecosystems that has been enabled by EM theorists has broadened the horizons for enquiry in environmental scholarship, and the promise of systematic critical analysis of environmental improvement efforts in a variety of institutional contexts is certainly a worthwhile endeavour.'-Debra J Davidson, University of Alberta, in International Sociology, vol 26 no 5'This volume collects well-written scholarly essays on the theory of EM. The editors do a good job selecting chapters to represent the full range of issues and concepts forming the central theses of the EM framework, making this volume a great reader on the subject. Also commendable is that the authors included several studies of environmental reform in economies outside the birthplace of the EM theory. Worthy of note as well is that several studies differentiate between weak and strong ecological modernization. This provides a great framework for empirically examining environmental reform across the globe. Finally, the introduction and other chapters also discuss how the theory of ecological modernization fits with global conventions on environmental reform, thereby helping explain its emergence and rapid development....'-Lazarus Adua, Ohio State University, in Rural Sociology, Dec 2011'This is a much needed collection which fills the gap left by theoretical and empirical work. Whatever your opinions about Ecological Modernisation this promises to be a benchmark study.'.....Michael Redclift, Professor of International Environmental Policy, King's College, UK 'Ecological modernization has become the most important theory of practical attempts to deal with environmental problems. Whether it be efforts by the environmentally leading countries of northern Europe, or by the Obama Administration in the United States, or by Japan and China, the endeavors all consist of ecological modernization in one form or another. This informative reader brings together the most significant research on the subject over the three decades since its inception. The success or failure of ecological modernization remains nevertheless an open question, as indicated by global warming caused by human activities. Hence this perspective has its critics, particularly neo-Marxist and neo-Malthusian ones, and the book briefly responds to these as well. It is a must read for anyone interested in the broader aspects of environmental problem solving.'........Raymond Murphy, President Environment and Society Research Committee of the International Sociological Association'This book offers the clearest and the most comprehensive introduction to ecological modernisation theory yet. It sets out the criticisms of ecological modernisation as a theory of social change and puts forward a compelling argument for a sociology of environmental reform. It shows how technological, institutional and cultural innovation concretely affect peoples’ lives and the ways they relate to their environment. The Ecological Modernisation Reader will initiate a new and more sophisticated era of debate over the greening of industrial societies'..............Professor Stewart Lockie, The Australian National University, Australia'The ideas underpinning ecological modernisation are exerting a growing influence over environmental policy-makers around the world. This valuable and timely collection brings together many of the main contributors to the development of this controversial concept, and provides a comprehensive coverage of the key theories, debates and policy developments in ecological modernisation.'..........Professor Neil Carter, Department of Politics, University of York, UK'...a long overdue publication. The benefits of bringing together some of the classic EM literature alongside more recent work not only explains the historical theoretical development of this discourse and where it might develop in future, but also engages academics and students alike in understanding EM theory and practice...'..............Patrick McGee, Queen's University Belfast, Journal of Environmental Policy and PlanningTable of ContentsPart 1: Foundations of Ecological Modernization Theory Part 2: Transformations in Environmental Governance and Participation Part 3: Greening Life-Cycles and Life-Styles Part 4: Environmental Reform in Asian and Other Emerging Economies

Taylor & Francis Ltd Competitiveness of New Europe
Book SynopsisNew Europe is a rhetorical term used by some analysts to describe European post-communist transition success stories. The term implies their recent return to European, or more precisely Western civilization, but suggests - given their (forced) communist detour - that there is no single Pan-European identity in the EU. This book examines the nations that make up the so-called New-Europe (those that joined the European Union in 2004) to look at the economic competitiveness in comparison with each other and the rest of Europe.The editor - a leading scholar on transition economics - draws together contributions from a wide range of contributors to look at this important issue. These essays stress the interaction between successful transition measures creating an encouraging, more transparent, liberal (i.e. free market) environment on the one hand and the inflow of foreign investors encouraged by that environment on the other.

Taylor & Francis Conducting Research in Conservation
Book SynopsisConducting Research in Conservation is the first textbook on social science research methods written specifically for use in the expanding and increasingly multidisciplinary field of environmental conservation. The first section on planning a research project includes chapters on the need for social science research in conservation, defining a research topic, methodology, and sampling. Section two focuses on practical issues in carrying out fieldwork with local communities, from fieldwork preparation and data collection to the relationships between the researcher and the study community. Section three provides an in-depth focus on a range of social science methods including standard qualitative and quantitative methods such as participant observation, interviewing and questionnaires, and more advanced methods, such as ethnobiological methods for documenting local environmental knowledge and change, and participatory methods such as the âPRAâ toolbox. Section four theTrade Review"Social research is vital for effective conservation. Here at last is an authoritative, clear and practical guide to conducting successful social reserach in conservation. The authors effectively blend state-of-the-art thinking in social research with practical examples from conservation projects around the world. A must have book for conservation researchers and practitioners." Dr Paul Jepson, School of Geography and Environment, University of Oxford."Conducting Research in Conservation makes a much needed contribution to the field. Well written and highly accessible, this introduction to conservation-relevant social science methods will serve as a valuable resource for novices and experts alike. In particular, its practical guidance will help conservation professionals to navigate the complexities of social science research in the ‘real world.’" Dr Michael B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Containment of HighLevel Radioactive and
Book SynopsisOne of the principal objections to or problems with the use of nuclear fuel is that a proven method for safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel has yet to be established. The central focus of most schemes underway to dispose of these high-level radioactive wastes relies on clay-based buffers and barriers to isolate spent fuel canisters in boreholes deep underground in specially constructed tunnels and caverns. Current thought on the principal methods of containment of high-level radioactive wastes is presented in this book. The authors proceed to discuss the processes and mechanisms involved in the development of long term properties and performance of clay-based buffers and backfills. The procedures and methodologies used to undertake predictions and performance assessments of these materials are also examined.This is an invaluable reference for professionals, researchers, academics and regulators engaged in the development of radioactive wastTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Water in Central Asia Past Present Future
Book SynopsisCentral Asia is the cluster of countries located in the basin of the Great Aral Sea. It originates from the ancient civilizations of the IV-III millennium B.C. known as Ariana and is an important geopolitical centre today, where the USA, Russia, China, EU, Iran and India participate in the regional water game. The Aral Sea Basin has always been a subject of interest to outside powers as a target of travel or political blame. At the same time it was a source of prosperity and a place of work, love, history and strong cultural traditions for almost 100 million people. At present the Aral Sea Basin is shared by independent states with different interests but at the same time in need of close collaboration for their survival. Much has been written about this region but few writers have discovered the deeper roots of the historical transformations that have caused the present situation of environmental degradation. The extremely arid character of the region is a caTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. The Cost of Water is Life 3. Russian Colonization and the Soviet Era in Central Asia 4.
