  • Understanding Global Climate Change

    Modelling the Climatic System and Human Impacts

    by Arthur P Cracknell, Costas A Varotsos ...
    Climate change, a familiar term today, is far more than just global warming due to atmospheric greenhouse gases including CO2. In order to understand the nature of climate change, it is necessary to consider the whole climatic system, its complexity, and the ways in which natural and anthropogenic activities act and influence that system and the environment. Over the past 20 years since the first ... Read more

  • Monitoring and Predicting Agricultural Drought

    A Global Study

    by Vijendra K. Boken, Arthur P. Cracknell, Ronald L. Heathcote ...
    Agricultural droughts affect whole societies, leading to higher food costs, threatened economies, and even famine. In order to mitigate such effects, researchers must first be able to monitor them, and then predict them; however no book currently focuses on accurate monitoring or prediction of these devastating kinds of droughts. To fill this void, the editors of Monitoring and Predicting ... Read more

  • Coastal Engineering

    Processes, Theory and Design Practice

    by Dominic Reeve, Andrew Chadwick, Christopher Fleming ...
    Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and modelling also need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new industry publications since the publication of the second edition.This ... Read more

  • Offshore Geotechnical Engineering

    by Mark Randolph, Susan Gourvenec ...
    Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a ... Read more

  • The Vanishing Face of Gaia

    A Final Warning

    by James Lovelock ...
    James Lovelock described his previous book, The Revenge of Gaia, as 'a wake-up call for humanity'. Stark though it was in many respects, in The Vanishing Face of Gaia Lovelock says that even though the weather seems cooler and pollution lessens as the recession bites, the environmental problems we will face in the twenty-first century are even more terrifying than he previously realised.
