Global Water Resource Issues
ISBN: 9780521467124 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The world's water resources are coming under increasing stress, a stress that will become critical globally sometime during the next century. This is due to the rapidly rising population demanding more and more water and an increasing level of affluence. The book discusses the background to this issue and the measures to be taken over the next 20-30 years to overcome some of the difficulties that can be foreseen, and the means of avoiding others, such as the hazard of floods. It looks at the water resource and its assessment and management in an integrated fashion. It deals with the...

The New Catastrophism: The Importance of the Rare Event in Geological History
ISBN: 9780521483582 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rare and violent events through geological time are the theme of this readable and thought-provoking view of the Earth's history. The evidence for episodes and rare "catastrophic" happenings have been gleaned from the geological record in the author's travels all over the world. Such events are shown to dominate over the gradual and continuous processes that we see in the record of the history of the Earth. From hurricanes to episodic evolution, from colliding continents to asteroid impacts--the importance of these events are presented with many illustrations, both pictorial and anecdotal.

The Struggle for Land: A Political Economy of the Pioneer Frontier in Brazil from 1930 to the Present Day
ISBN: 9780521526005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Widespread violence, legal chicanery and ruthless profiteering have come to characterise the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Brazil. With the advance of this frontier, the pioneering peasants, on the one hand, and large landowners and large economic enterprise, on the other, have become locked in an increasingly bitter struggle for land. In his book, Joe Foweraker draws on extensive empirical research to demonstrate the dimensions and dynamics of the struggle. It is his contention that the process can only be understood in relation to the patterns of economic accumulation in the...

Ocean Waves: The Stochastic Approach
ISBN: 9780521563789 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Waves observed in the ocean are extremely irregular and, from a physics standpoint, it seems impossible to describe this chaotic situation. Scientists can describe the situation by means of a stochastic approach. This book describes the stochastic method for ocean wave analysis. This method provides a route to predicting the characteristics of random ocean waves--information vital for the design and safe operation of ships and ocean structures. Assuming a basic knowledge of probability theory, the book begins with a chapter describing the essential elements of wind-generated random seas from...
