Environmental Sedimentology provides a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly expanding field which addresses the functioning and dynamics of contemporary sediment systems and how these systems respond to a range of both natural and anthropogenically-induced disturbance events.

This accessible new textbook provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of groundwater systems and their management. Using straightforward language and analogies to everyday experiences, it explains the origins, nature, and behavior of subsurface water without resorting to complicated mathematics.

Protecting the health, safety, and performance of exploration-class mission crews against the physiological deconditioning resulting from long-term weightlessness during transit and long-term reduced gravity during surface operations will require effective, multi-system countermeasures. Artificial gravity, which would replace terrestrial gravity with inertial forces generated by rotating the transit vehicle or by short-radius human centrifuge devices within the transit vehicle or surface habitat, has long been considered a potential solution. However, despite its attractiveness as an efficient, multi-system countermeasure and its potential for improving the environment and simplifying operational activities, much still needs to be learned regarding the human response to rotating environments before artificial gravity can be successfully implemented.

Audience: The book will be of interest to researchers and scientists, professionals and policymakers in water resources management and environmental science, conservation policy and development research.

The geo-hydro-morphometry of the river Ganges has a history of long and wide variations as the river is continuously fed by the high Himalayas hill ranges, the highest in the world. The river is categorized as an international one, passing through several independent countries.

"Perspectives on ITS" is a collection of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) writings of Professor Joseph M. Sussman from MIT. Professor Sussman is a long-time major participant in the ITS world, beginning with his work on the core writing team in the original "IVHS" Strategic Plan in 1991-92, and continuing on to the present day. He has worked in a number of ITS area and is a keen observer of the ITS scene in general.

This 125 page book is written for anyone that wants to be able to call C or C++ programs from IDL. Using very simple examples written in C and C++ the reader will be able to create and pass scalars, arrays, strings and structures back and forth from IDL to C. In addition a new chapter covers writing IDL object methods in C or C++.

The International Energy Agency's authoritative annual global energy projections. This 2009 edition analyses what the economic crisis will mean for energy markets and how the transition to a clean global energy system can be financed. It focuses on three specific areas: financing energy investment under a post 2012 climate framework, prospects for natural gas markets, and energy trends in Southeast Asia.

Local governments have the power to influence the energy choices of their citizens. Many cities and towns have already encouraged energy efficiency measures. Even so, as demand for energy services continues to grow, the energy infrastructure that every city and town depends on will need to be expanded, upgraded or replaced. This provides the opportunity to increase the deployment of renewable energy technologies and decentralised energy systems, and hence gain the multi-benefits of increased energy security, climate change mitigation and sustainable development, but also the social benefits of reduced air pollution, such as improved health and employment.

Our societies devote much money and human energy to the ongoing search for ways to reduce energy consumption and road-traffic emissions. Although the topic is not quite in the forefront of parlour conversation, public awareness of the key forces driving the work—the negative effects of road traffic on our environment and concerns about
energy security—reaches deeply into our cultures.

Energy is an essential element for human survival and development. Over the history of mankind, each and every significant step in the progress of civilisation has been accompanied by energy innovations and substitutions. The exploitation and utilisation of fossil energy has boosted enormously world economic development and society as
a whole. However, large-scale exploitation and utilisation of fossil energy is also one of the major causes of ecological destruction and environmental pollution.

Rapidly increasing traffic congestion, air pollution, and sprawl are jeopardising the ability of the developing world’s premier cities to achieve sustainability. These problems, present in most large urban areas of developing countries,
also account for a substantial share of the expected increase in world oil use and CO2 emissions over the next twenty years.

China, the world’s second largest energy consuming country and the foremost producer and consumer of
coal, is an increasingly important player in international energy markets.
