Landscape Erosion and Evolution Modeling
Landscapes are characterized by a wide variation, both spatially and temporally, of tolerance and response to natural processes and anthropogenic stress. These tolerances and responses can be analyzed through individual landscape parameters, such as soils, vegetation, water, etc., or holistically through ecosystem or watershed studies. However, such approaches are both time consuming and costly. Soil erosion and landscape evolution modeling provide a simulation environment in which both the short- and long-term consequences of land-use activities and alternative land use strategies can be compared and evaluated. Such models provide the foundation for the development of land management decisi...
Slope Stabilization and Erosion Control: A Bioengineering Approach
This book is an up-to-date review of research and practice on the use of vegetation for slope stabilization and control of surface erosion caused by water and wind. From a basic understanding of the principles and practices of vegetation growth and establishment, it describes how vegetation can be treated as an engineering material and used to solve erosion and slope stability problems.
The Mother of all Things
It was supposed to be a new beginning for Elaine Davis. Returning to her childhood home in North Yorkshire, she hopes to move on from a devastating past and rebuild her life with the help of her mother and children. Sometimes though, new beginnings in familiar surroundings can come with the stirrings of memories long forgotten. As Elaine’s mind begins to unravel, discoveries of deceit and betrayal reveal themselves and circumstances spiral beyond her control. Elaine must fight to hold on to her sanity; unless of course, she has already lost it? Approximately 93,000 words
Vegetation and Erosion
Stressing the significance of vegetation in geomorphology, an often ignored area, it presents the results of the 1988 British Geomorphological Research Group conference, which brought together work in progress or recently completed on plant processes and geomorphological interactions. According to the editor, these results, while encouraging, are only a start, indicating a preponderance of past work dealing with vegetation simply as an extrinsic variable. The text focuses on vegetation as a highly dynamic and vital component that affects virtually all processes and therefore all geomorphological histories. By raising these and other issues, it indicates a variety of avenues for future investigation.
Soil Erosion and Conservation
Provides comprehensive treatment of soil erosion processes and their control and a practical approach of the design of soil conservation methods.
The Analysis of Starlight
This book presents a detailed pedagogical account of the equation of state and its applications in several important and fast growing topics in theoretical physics, chemistry and engineering. This book is the storv of the analysis of starlight by astronomical spectroscopy. It describes the development of the subject from the time of Joseph Fraunhofer, who, in 1814, used a telescope-mounted prism to observe the spectral light emitted from several bright stars. He discovered that light was missing at certain colours (wavelengths) in the starlight, and these so-called spectral lines were subsequently shown to hold clues to the nature of the stars themselves. The book explains how the classifica...
