Rivers are now endangered worldwide, and the book celebrates people who preserve rivers around the world, bringing hope to river ecosystems and communities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRiver Planet\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to be accessible for a general audience ranging from advanced high-school students to mature readers.

Gibling describes rivers as endangered species. This insight grows from a geologist’s understanding of deep time, geological history, and biological evolution. Gibling also writes with a humanist scholar’s appreciation of the individual personalities offamous historical scientists and engineers. The heartfelt writing makes the text a pleasure to read and the abundant, visually appealing colour photographs and diagrams effectively illustrate concepts described in the text. Gibling also brings himself into the book, opening and closing the text with descriptions of his own experiences with rivers and deftly weaving personal narrative into technical material throughout the book. In a sense, River Planet is a personal retrospective on a successful life and a career that included rivers across the planet and from contemporary environments to those interpreted from the rock record. The later sections of the book seem less coherent in terms of a clear structure and progression of information between chapters, but I think the book succeeds as a collection of brief explorations of the diverse rivers of the world. As such, it engages both the professional scientist and the reader interested in natural history and provides a distinctive, geological perspective on the world’s rivers.’\u003ci\u003e Geoscience Canada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The book is divided into 5 parts and 22 chapters, loosely chronologically arranged from the evidence for the first rivers in the geological record through the evolution of vegetation and the development of new river styles. Subsequent chapters evolve the story of rivers blending scientific concepts with thumbnail sketches of the scientists, past and present, who developed the ideas and theories that explain how our knowledge of rivers has played out over the world. In this respect, the book succeeds in making the science accessible to a lay audience and adds a layer of information that personalises the otherwise arcane subjects that Martin Gibling deals with (e.g. cratons or superimposition).

The author refers to personal experiences of certain river locations, a reality that draws the reader into the concepts being discussed rather than remaining remote – in much the same way that a lecturer can inject their own personal experience into a subject as opposed to simply reflecting with work of others… The book is divided into 5 parts and 22 chapters, loosely chronologically arranged from the evidence for the first rivers in the geological record through the evolution of vegetation and the development of new river styles.

They are central and focal features of the natural landscape, helping to shape the very landforms of the country, as well as providing a range of habitats for flora and fauna. Few places in Britain are far from running water, and human society interacts with rivers in a wide range of ways. Most towns and cities grew up on riverbanks, and rivers play a vital role in economic, social and cultural life. They have provided power for industry; water for industrial use and human consumption; rivers have often been used for communication and the transport of goods; and they are sites of leisure and recreation. Most people are attracted to water; and rivers have featured prominently in literature and art over the centuries. Rivers can also pose threats, from flooding or pollution, and therefore have to be managed and regulated. Whereas there are many books which deal with specific aspects of rivers, \"Rivers and the British Landscape\" provides the first fully integrated analysis of British rivers exploring the physical formation of rivers; the characteristics of environments; analysis of the social, economic and cultural uses and associations of rivers; and examination of the problems of river management. These themes are explored through historical and contemporary examples, with case studies drawn from all parts of Britain. The book is lavishly illustrated and includes an appendix of key facts about British rivers. Written by experts on each aspect of British rivers, \"Rivers and the British Landscape\" is aimed at anyone with a general interest in rivers and the British landscape. The authors aim to highlight the holistic nature of river environments, and to explore the ways in which physical, economic, cultural and management characteristics interact to create the distinctive personalities of British rivers. It is hoped that material in this volume may help you to view your local river in a new light.","brand":"Carnegie Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742365987159,"sku":"9781859361207","price":16.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781859361207.jpg?v=1720061102"},{"product_id":"central-european-stream-ecosystems-the-long-term-study-of-the-breitenbach-9783527329526","title":"Central European Stream Ecosystems: The Long Term","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProbably the best-studied stream on earth.\u003cbr\u003e The result of unmatched long-term data taken by the Max-Planck outstation in Schlitz from the nearby Breitenbach stream since 1949, the special focus in this handbook and ready reference is on animal and microorganism occurrence and variation, as well as chemical and physical parameters. \u003cbr\u003e An invaluable data basis for modeling purposes for anyone dealing with stream ecology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Particularly, the long-term data going back for more than 50 years are unique and are valuable resource for everyone in the world dealing with stream ecology.”  (\u003ci\u003eActa Bo\u003c\/i\u003etanica \u003ci\u003eHungarica\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 October 2012)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e The Breitenbach and its Catchment \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Characteristics \u003cbr\u003e Detrital Energy Sources \u003cbr\u003e Primary Producers \u003cbr\u003e Bacteria and Fungi \u003cbr\u003e The Fauna of the Breitenbach \u003cbr\u003e Ecosystem Breitenbach \u003cbr\u003e Summary","brand":"Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743116865879,"sku":"9783527329526","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"in-search-of-the-river-jordan-9780300244151","title":"In Search of the River Jordan","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA writer's travels along the legendary yet contested Jordan Riverexploring the long conflict over water supply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“James Fergusson gives the reader a vivid understanding of the intricacies of occupation in Israel-Palestine by showing how the issue of water has been weaponised.

The consequences of losing beavers were profound: streams eroded, wetlands dried up, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. Today, a growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”—including scientists, ranchers, and passionate citizens—recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier, for humans and non-humans alike, than those without them.

Energizing Water presents this cutting-edge research to the general and professional reader at a time when interest in finding solutions to water's huge worldwide problems�is growing rapidly.  Three aspects determine water quality: its chemical constituents (including its oxygen levels); its organic aspects (with the danger of contamination by effluent, pathogens and algae); and its 'energetic' nature. The latter facet has been recognized from time immemorial by traditional societies, who have developed their own sciences in relation to water quality, using terms such as prana and chi for energy. Now, through the introduction of quantum physics into the life sciences, modern science is beginning to accept this concept, measuring energy as light emission. Research into energetic water quality - and particularly into the creation of moulded surfaces that support biological purification of the chemical and organic elements, as well as enlivening the energetic attributes - goes back to George Adams' and John Wilkes' pioneering work in the 1960s. The invention of Flowform technology in 1970 carried this research further, providing the world with one of the first modern-day, biomimicry�eco-technologies.

He surveys the environmental damage caused by dams alongside stories of people displaced and ill-served by their construction. Explaining how dams destabilize ecosystems, he tells how putting up dams in the Westlands Water District near Fresno, Calif., in the 1960s disoriented migrating salmon by disrupting river currents and poisoned bird populations after poor irrigation led to the buildup of toxic chemicals. Hawley argues that the purported benefits of hydroelectric dams—green energy production and a steady water supply—are largely myths; the decomposition of organic flotsam that builds up in reservoirs produces methane at rates that can rival fossil fuel production, and as the globe heats up, evaporation will take an increasingly large cut of reservoir water. Highlighting the heartbreaking humanitarian consequences of dam construction, the author describes how the Bureau of Reclamation forced the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara tribes off their ancestral land in North Dakota for a pittance of the tract’s value, destroying their way of life. Hawley’s thorough research makes a damning case for rethinking how to source water, and anecdotes about ecosystems that have flourished after dam removals strike an optimistic note about the road ahead.

According to the author, those dams have decimated fish populations, undermined fragile ecosystems, inundated sacred grounds, created a massive methane footprint, cost outrageous public sums to build and maintain for the actual value they provide to farmers and the electrical grid, and threatened public safety—some 15,600 “highhazard” dams in the U.S. would cause significant loss of life if any failed. These dams have also lost more water to evaporation than they’ve provided to the cities they were intended to serve. Hawley does an excellent job of laying out the history of dam building, especially in the arid American West; its failings; some recent successes in reopening rivers (the Elwah, for example); the mechanics—and grass-roots politicking—of dam removal; and viable alternatives to dams, like underground storage of water and solar power.

A passionate scholar, he is equally dramatic in recounting his travels through the records of the region's volatile geologic past and rich history of diverse societies and cultural collisions. Native American tribes share the belief that 'rivers are sacred lifelines.' Mormons were the first, 'in defiance of all logic,' to attempt to tame the river. The Colorado, now harnessed with 25 dams, precariously supports 30 million people, from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

Whilst there has to be some recognition of the geographical limits and some questions asked about the quality of these water supplies, even with these detractors accounted for these systems often remain superior to those imposed by political and private interests, not only in terms of their reliability, but also in terms of their flexibility and more equitable control. This book aims to offer a closer look at local flexible strategies for securing water resources under demanding climatic conditions and during environmental changes. The research dealt with here aims to identify a range of initiatives that have been created by and for members of indigenous communities to address such challenges, such as traditional structures for collecting run-off and rainwater. It poses the questions: How have these strategies been formed and made to operate? What positive and negative lessons can be learned from the interplay between local knowledge, subsistence strategies, and the influx of knowledge and initiatives from the outside? As well as describing the function and social significance of water harvesting systems, a further aim of this book is to highlight the wider political and economic context of local knowledge about water harvesting and its uses, and the impact of contrasting management strategies on social development in the local communities involved. Water harvesting and irrigation systems form an important part of the vast knowledge that indigenous and local populations have of their natural environment. Such knowledge is embedded within complex social organisations, and forms the basis of both formal and important non-formal social networks. Indeed, together with the management of land, the management of water resources frequently provides the basis of social institutions and relationships to which ideas of belonging and community membership are tied. Indeed, water resources, along with other natural resources, comprise not only a vital element of subsistence, but also a vital field of social and political inter-action and practice.","brand":"Tapir Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889782108503,"sku":"9788251921442","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9788251921442.jpg?v=1722555875"},{"product_id":"understanding-kashmir-lakes-water-quality-biodiversity-deterioration-encroachment-and-vision-for-their-protection-and-restoration-9798886973914","title":"Understanding Kashmir Lakes: Water Quality,","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48890364821847,"sku":"9798886973914","price":62.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9798886973914.jpg?v=1722558565"},{"product_id":"river-ecology-9780199549528","title":"River Ecology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRivers have been vitally important to human populations worldwide for millennia as highways for inland travel, and as sources of water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, manufacturing, irrigation, and power generation, as well as repositories for human, animal, and industrial wastes.
