Whittles Publishing Professor A. W. Bishop's Finest Papers: A
Book SynopsisThis volume brings together a selection of key papers by this soil mechanics pioneer. The papers have been selected on the basis of their importance in the development of soil mechanics and to highlight the nature and range of subjects that Bishop investigated during the thirty-seven years of his career. Bishop's most influential paper was presented at an ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) conference in Boulder, Colorado, in 1960, and while it made a big impression at the time, it is now in danger of disappearing from sight. In addition, two of Bishop's very significant papers were published in the late 1970s in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, not normal reading for the soil mechanics fraternity, and thus became known to only a few people. That has remained the case to this day, and the fact that these two papers have not been republished was the initial motivation for creating this volume. In addition, it is nearly 40 years since Bishop retired from his professorial position at Imperial College and a fitting time to remember Bishop with both a biography, The Bishop Method, and this volume of his papers. In addition to the Bishop papers, there is a paper by Laurie Wesley and Richard Pugh reflecting their research with Bishop. Separate papers were to have been written after the completion of their PhDs, with Bishop as the lead author, but because of his illness this didn't happen. The opportunity has now been taken to present the comprehensive research in these papers, as a tribute to their supervisor and mentor.Trade Review'...This is a valuable collection bringing together in one place documentation of a number of significant steps in the development of soil mechanics'.

CABI Publishing Soil Hydrology, Land Use and Agriculture:
Book SynopsisAgriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as by changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them. This book aims to expand our knowledge and understanding of these interactions on a watershed scale, using soil hydrology models, and to address the consequences of land use and management changes on agriculture from a research perspective. Case studies illustrate the impact of land use and management practices on various soil hydrological parameters under different climates and ecosystems.Table of Contents1: Introduction to soil hydrology 2: Hydrology past, present and future 3: Over-view of existing soil hydrology models 4: Modeling agricultural management systems with APEX 5: Application of WEPP model to hillslopes and small watersheds in the US 6: Application of WEPP a distributed hydrological model on some Austria Watersheds 7: Application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) for hydrological modelling in Germany 8: Spatially Distributed Hydrologic Modeling in Illinois River Drainage Area in Arkansas Using SWAT 9: Application of a distributed hydrological model for hydrological modeling in India 10: Application of RZWQM for hydrological modeling in Alcalde Basin of Northern New Mexico 11: A comprehensive, physically based model for surface and subsurface hydrology for small catchments 12: Effects of artificial drainage on water regime and solute transport at different spatial scales 13: Effect of land use and soil management on soil properties and processes 14: Land use and agricultural management systems effects on subsurface drain water quality and crop yields 15: Different types of climatic datasets for hydrological analysis 16: Climate change and soil hydrology: European perspective 17: Modeling the impacts of climate change on water balance and agricultural productivity in southern Portugal using SWAT 18: Soil hydrology, runoff, and soil erosion under future climate change 19: Remote sensing and soil hydrology

CRC Press Geosynthetic Clay Liners for Waste Containment
Book SynopsisIncreasingly stringent regulation of pollution and waste production worldwide drives the need to isolate contaminants that pose a threat to human and environmental health by using engineered barrier systems involving the use of low permeable materials. Over the past two decades, geosynthetic clay liners have gained widespread acceptance for use in such barrier systems. They are often used as a component of primary and secondary base liners or final cover systems in municipal solid-waste landfills as well as in regulated industrial storage and mining waste-disposal facilities.This book gives a comprehensive and authoritative review of the current state of practice on geosynthetic clay liners in waste containments. It provides an insight into individual materials (bentonite and the associated geosynthetics) and the manufacturing processes. This is followed by the coverage of important topics such as hydraulic conductivity, chemical compatibility, contaminant transport, gas migrTable of Contents1.
