Book Description

It is 10 years since publication of the first edition of soils of the past. In that time the subject of paleopedology has grown rapidly, and established itself within the mainstream of geological research.Ancient soils contain vital mineralogical, geochemical, textural, and paleontological information about the continental environments in which they formed. Advances in isotope geochemistry and sequence-stratigraphic models allow ever more detailed reconstructions of environmental change from paleosols, and new insights into such diverse topics as atmospheric chemistry, global change, palaeoecology, geobiology and mass extinction.This fully updated second edition of Soils of the Past describes the main types of ancient soil, procedures for their recognition and study, their classification and, most significantly, a wide array of examples of how paleosols have been used for paleoenvironmental reconstruction.Soils of the past is written for advanced undergraduates studying paleopedology as part of a degree in geology, environmental science, or physical geography, and for interested professional earth scientists.

Description:
Chlordane was used as an insecticide for half a century until its withdrawal from the world market in 1997. Trans- and cis-chlordane (TC, CC) are racemic in the technical product, but undergo enantioselective degradation in soil to leave nonracemic residues. In most cases, the (+) enantiomer of TC and the (-) enantiomer of CC are depleted, leading to enantiomer fractions, EF=(+)/[(+)+(-)], that are <0.500 for TC and >0.500 for CC. Nonracemic EFs of TC and CC, showing the same degradation preference as soils, were found in 1998-2001 air samples from stations in Arctic Canada and Finland, and on the west coast of Sweden. Environmental samples representing different time periods of chlordane history were also examined in: (a) archived atmospheric deposition samples collected in Sweden, Slovakia and Iceland in 1971-1973, (b) soils from southern Sweden sampled in 2001 and (c) a laminated lake sediment core from the Canadian Arctic representing ~50 years of accumulation. TC and CC were racemic or nearly so in the historical atmospheric deposition samples and nonracemic in the Swedish soils. The EF of TC in the dated lake sediment core decreased from nearly racemic in the past to nonracemic in recent times. These observations suggest that sources of chlordane to the atmosphere have changed over time and are now influenced to a greater extent by emission from soils.

Description:
In species rich grasslands, management factors may affect carbon storage both directly (e.g. defoliation) and indirectly, by altering plant community structure. We set up a mesocosm experiment to separate these direct and indirect effects. Monoliths were sampled from two plots of a semi-natural, species-rich pasture at Theix (France), which had been subjected to contrasted disturbance levels, high versus low grazing, for 14 years. These monoliths were placed in transparent enclosures in natural light and temperature conditions. At the start of the experiment, half of the monoliths in each disturbance treatment were shifted to the opposite disturbance regime. Above and below ground CO"2 fluxes were then measured continuously over 2 years. The net below ground carbon storage was positively correlated (P <0.001) with net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and was negatively correlated (P <0.001) with above ground net primary productivity. The net canopy photosynthesis, net ecosystem productivity and net below ground carbon storage were significantly higher for ecosystems previously adapted to a low rather than a high disturbance regime, irrespective of the disturbance level during the mesocosm experiment. In contrast, above ground net primary productivity (ANPP) was significantly enhanced by a high disturbance level during the experiment. ANPP and NEP showed a faster response to an increase rather than a decrease in disturbance level during the experiment. Grassland ecosystems adapted to frequent disturbance by grazing and cutting stored less carbon compared to ecosystems adapted to a low disturbance regime.

Book Description

"Relativity In our Time" is a book concerning the relevance of Einstein's theory to human relations in contemporary times. lt is physics and it is philosophy. lt is a discussion about one of the greatest of all pillars of 20th century thought and science. Based on a seminar course for a mixture of science and humanities students, the approach and narrative style leads the reader towards the frontier of thinking in this farreaching subject. Sachs deals with the whole spread of relativity, starting from the early history of Galileo and Faraday, he arrives at the foundation of the special theory. There is a logical transition to the general theory while the last part of the book covers the mind-testing realms of unified field theory, Mach's principle and cosmology. The book begins with atomistic, deterministic, classical physics and goes on towards a view of continuous fields of matter and a clearer view of spacetime. The reader is led into Einstein's extension of this theory towards a unified force field; consequently the authors address the issue of the validity of linear mathematics compared with the realism of a non- linear universe.; Such arguments today are leading towards a new paradigm in science - a study and description of nonlinear natural systems especially far from equilibrium systems; their energetics and dynamics. This book should be of value to postgraduates, undergraduates, secondary students and professionals in physics and philosophy and anyone with an interest in science subjects.

Book Description

In this moving account of the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath, eleven women who lived through it as children or young adults recall the events of the last forty years. In Torres's words, "This book, which began in Miami, looking toward the island, ends on the island as it gazes toward the exile community."

These poets, artists and scholars represent each post-revolution exile generation. Some left Cuba in the Peter Pan airlift, some left afterward, some never left at all. Others—like the editor—left as children only to return and leave again, disillusioned with both the exile community and with Castro's island. Together they testify to the powerful intersections of memory, politics, nation, and exile.

Book Description

A Century of Remembrance is a study of one hundred outstanding United Kingdom war memorials which commemorate 20th century conflicts from the Boer War to the Falklands and Gulf wars. The first described is a Boer War memorial unveiled on 5 November 1904, and the last is the Animals in War memorial unveiled in London on 24 November 2004.

The memorials chosen are listed as near as possible in chronological order and represent different wars, different artists, different areas of the country, and a variety of types of memorial. In category they range from individual to national memorials and include memorials in schools, churches and places of work, and examples representing communities and the armed services. In form they are from statues and stained glass windows to arches, obelisks and cenotaphs, and from cloisters and chapels to art galleries and gardens and even a carillon.

Terrible so far.......2003-09-24

I am having the hardest time reading this book for my freshman World History class. It is so tremendously boring. It is not written very well and the format (small print, few subtitles...) is horrible. I can't read it!

very readable.......1999-02-25

For teachers and amateur historians, this is a very readable text. Plus, the layout is nice and easy to look at. It also offers a reasonably good bibliography as well as chapter summaries. All in all it is user-friendly

Dry Dry and More dry.......1999-01-05

I had this history book the first semester of my freshman year in college and let me tell you, it is a very dry book. There is a lot of unnecessary information and all the little details make it even worse. Also, some of the information is dusty while some of the points the author points out are very arguable and seem untrue. Once again, this is a very dry book.

Book Description

Defending the Nation is a cultural history of science and engineering (S&E) policymaking in the United States from World War II to the post 9/11 era. With thorough analysis of S&E policy, this book argues that powerful individuals and social groups have significantly influenced the education and training of scientists and engineers. This book provides policymakers, scientists, engineers, and educators with a deeper knowledge on which to build their reform agendas for the future.
