Taylor & Francis Ltd Essay on the Theory of the Earth 1813 The
Book SynopsisBased at the Parisian Museum of Natural History, Cuvier was able to compare the fossil bones he dug from the quarries of Montmartre with those of animals alive today.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Uncertainty Modeling and Decision Making in
Book SynopsisUncertainty, Modeling, and Decision Making in Geotechnics shows how uncertainty quantification and numerical modeling can complement each other to enhance decision-making in geotechnical practice, filling a critical gap in guiding practitioners to address uncertainties directly.The book helps practitioners acquire a working knowledge of geotechnical risk and reliability methods and guides them to use these methods wisely in conjunction with data and numerical modeling. In particular, it provides guidance on the selection of realistic statistics and a cost-effective, accessible method to address different design objectives, and for different problem settings, and illustrates the value of this to decision-making using realistic examples.Bringing together statistical characterization, reliability analysis, reliability-based design, probabilistic inverse analysis, and physical insights drawn from case studies, this reference guide from an international team of experTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs
Book SynopsisGrowth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast, visited by the author between 1971 and 1973.Beyond the Red Sea''s desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes, matched by a similar abundance of living corals, creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention, such as removal of a key species, could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs, accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish.Based on the author's observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years, this book highlighTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bioremediation
Book SynopsisBioremediation: A Sustainable Approach to Preserving Earth’s Water discusses the latest research in green chemistry practices and principles that are involved in water remediation and the quality improvement of water.The presence of heavy metals, dyes, fluoride, dissolved solids and many other pollutants are responsible for water pollution and poor water quality. The removal of these pollutants in water resources is necessary, yet challenging. Water preservation is of great importance globally and researchers are making significant progress in ensuring this precious commodity is safe and potable. This volume illustrates how bioremediation in particular is a promising green technique globally.Features: Addresses bioremediation of all the major water pollutants Approaches the chemistry of water and the concept of water as a renewable resource from a green chemistry aspect Discusses environmental cTrade ReviewProcessing of water is a major activity that affects health and safety in all countries of the world. While many water treatment processes have a long history of development and improvement, there is continuing progress both in terms of remediating new chemicals found in effluents and through ongoing laboratory research. The ten chapters in this book address varied subjects such as green chemistry in water processing, biofunctionalized adsorbents, biodegradation and adsorption of dyes, synthesis of adsorbents, olive oil waste treatment, and processing of industrial effluents. Notably, more than five thousand publications related to remediation of water have been gathered in a bibliometric study; the results are presented in chapter 2. Chapter 4 covers adsorption of heavy metals and includes information on many equilibrium isotherms. Bioremediation of industrial contaminants found in soil as well as industrial effluents are discussed in chapter 8. This chapter includes tables of effective microorganisms for biodegradation of different industrial wastes. All chapters, indeed, provide numerous citations and references as well as helpful tables and figures. Contributing authors hail from many different countries including Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Portugal, and Turkey. This collection will be especially useful for scholars and civil engineers concerned with preserving water resources through remediation. --L. E.

Cambridge University Press Climate from Tree Rings
Book SynopsisThe impact of climatic change on human affairs has been demonstrated dramatically in past years. Climatic extremes have placed increasing pressure on world food supplies leading to a doubling, then trebling, of grain prices during the 1970s. Moreover, there is mounting concern that society itself may soon bring about an unparalleled climatic shift by atmospheric pollution and changing land use. In order to deal wisely with the Earth's limited natural resources and to assess society's potential to alter future climate, more information is needed about the course of past climatic change. Climate from Tree Rings brings together basic accounts of the methodology, techniques, available data and potential of dendroclimatology, the reconstruction of past climates from tree rings. The material presented in this volume, first published in 1982, represents a major step in the reconstruction of the past climatic record. It will be of particular interest to research workers, postgraduates, and adTable of Contents1. Data acquisition and preparation; 2. Data analysis; 3. The southern hemisphere; 4.

Cambridge University Press Ocean Waves The Stochastic Approach 6 Cambridge Ocean Technology Series Series Number 6
Book SynopsisThis book describes the stochastic method for ocean wave analysis. This method provides a route to predicting the characteristics of random ocean waves - information vital for the design and safe operation of ships and ocean structures. Assuming a basic knowledge of probability theory, the book begins with a chapter describing the essential elements of wind-generated random seas from the stochastic point of view. The following three chapters introduce spectral analysis techniques, probabilistic predictions of wave amplitudes, wave height and periodicity. A further four chapters discuss sea severity, extreme sea state, the directional wave energy spreading in random seas and special wave events such as wave breaking and group phenomena. Finally the stochastic properties of non-Gaussian waves are presented. Useful appendices and an extensive reference list are included. Examples of practical applications of the theories presented can be found throughout the text. This book will be suitabTrade Review'The book gives a good introduction to stochastic and probabilistic analysis of random ocean waves and contains examples of practical applications to the design and safe operation of ships and ocean structures.'

Cambridge University Press An Anthropology of Deep Time
Book SynopsisIn the face of debates about the Anthropocene - a geological epoch of our own making - and contemporary concerns about ecological crisis and the Sixth Mass Extinction, it is more important than ever to locate the timeframe of human activity within the deep time of planetary history. This path-breaking book is a timely critical review of the anthropology of time, exploring our human relationship with the timescale of geological formation. Richard D. G. Irvine shows how the time-horizons of social life are a matter of crucial concern, and lays bare the ways in which human activity becomes severed from the long-term geological and ecological rhythms on which it depends.Trade Review'If much of the current sense of ecological crisis turns on how resources are abstracted from the conditions of their renewal, suppose that very evocation of the future were itself an abstraction we cannot afford. Told with verve and wit, this foray into encounters with deep time asks us to see the time that we are hiding from ourselves. Irvine's clarity of argument opens out the 'anthropology of time' onto a new horizon of global significance.' Marilyn Strathern, University of CambridgeTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Time depth; 2. Time travelling pits and migrant rocks; 3. Excluding water; 4. The problem with presentism; 5. Mapping deep time; 6. Geology and biography; 7. Enter catastrophe; 8. Wasteland.
