Volcanic Activity and Human Ecology
Author: Payson D. Sheets
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483263185
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 663
Book Description
Volcanic Activity and Human Ecology deals with dating, chronology, stratigraphy, volcanic activity, and with the impacts of volcanism on animals, plants, human populations, and the environment. Some of the chapters explain how such findings must be weighed against other causes that influence human behavior and survival, such as factors of social customs, climatic change, shifting biogeographic patterns, disease, and the ability to adapt. Each of the chapters that assess the possible human response to volcanism does so by searching for multiple explanations of the archaeological record, avoiding the simple argument that people were dramatically and inevitably overcome by catastrophic geologic events. The book begins with discussions of volcanism as seen by geologists and pedologists. These include s a general overview of volcanoes and volcanism; a review of the production, dispersal, and properties of tephra and of the geologic methods used to study tephra; and the nature of volcanic soils and their economic impact. Subsequent chapters use the geologic and modern records to examine volcanoes as hazards to people. The final series of papers deals with the interrelationships between volcanism and human occupations as seen through the archaeological, paleobotanical, and paleozoological records.

Advances in Agronomy
Author:
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080563694
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Volume 56 contains six reviews covering key contemporary topics on crop and soil sciences. Three chapters focus on soils: heath and sustainability, phytoremediation of contaminated soils, and sorption by soils. The other three chapters focus upon the control of weeds, the improvement of drought tolerance in plants, and corn and aflatoxins. With this latest volume, Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a prolific and first-rate reference by the scientific community. In 1993 Advances in Agronomy increased its publication frequency to three volumes per year, and will continue this trend as the breadth of agronomic inquiry and knowledge continues to grow. - Soil health and sustainability - Phytoremediation - Biological control of weeds - Organic chemistry of soils - Drought tolerance in plants - Aflatoxins and corn

Author: D. Contractor
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9789058091833
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 914
Book Description
Covering a wide range of topics involving both research developments and applications, resulting from the 10th International Conferecne on Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (IACMAG) held in January 2001 in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The theme of the conference was Fundamentals through Applications. The up-to-date research results and applications in this 2-volume work (> 1900 pages) should serve as a valuable source of information for those engaged in research, analysis and design, practical application, and education in the fields of geomechanics and geotechnical engineering.
