ISBN: 9781891853395 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

One of the most contentious issues in the debate is whether the taxes that once stocked the Superfund Trust Fund need to be reinstated. The answer depends in large part on how much money EPA will need to implement the Superfund program. To inform this discussion, the U.S. Congress asked...

ISBN: 9783540005766 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is the result of an invited symposium titled "Integrated Land-Use and Environmental Models: A Survey of Current Applications and Research" that was held in October 2000 at Arizona State University. The idea for the symposium arose from a belief held by many academics that we are at the watershed of a new generation of models that are more dynamic, more pragmatic, more interdiscipli- nary, and more amenable to collaborative decision making. Several academics and professionals engaged in urban research had long realized that domain-specific knowledge was inadequate for understanding...
