Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, ampliación del que se editó en 1999, constituye una guía para conocer las tecnologías usadas para el reciclaje de residuos. En una época que apunta al progresivo agotamiento de las materias primas y al incremento desmesurado del consumo, la presente obra pasa revista a toda una serie de posibilidades de recuperar materiales de los residuos de manera respetuosa con el medio ambiente. La publicación se estructura en tres partes. En la primera, después de una necesaria introducción sobre el impacto que en el medio ambiente ha podido provocar el mal uso de la tecnología, también se expone como la tecnología puede contribuir a remediar el daño, y así se definen las tecnologías disponibles para el reciclaje de residuos y se señalan los límites de aplicación dentro de un contexto respetuoso con el medio ambiente. La segunda parte, pasa revista a la lista de residuos, de acuerdo con la clasificación establecida por el Catálogo Europeo de Residuos y, atendiendo básicamente a su naturaleza orgánica o inorgánica, así como a las posibilidades de reciclaje que ofrecen de acuerdo con las tecnologías descritas anteriormente. La tercera parte, la más extensa, dedica un capítulo a cada una de las gamas de materiales reciclados que pueden lograrse con residuos industriales, residuos domiciliarios (RSU), fangos de depuradora, residuos mineros, biomasa residual, etc. Cada uno de estos capítulos, hasta un total de diez, está lleno de ejemplos prácticos de reutilización de residuos. También se hace mención al estado de la tecnología mundial sobre tratamiento de residuos, sí como sus previsibles tendencias. Finalmente, la obra incluye un glosario, con más de 3.000 entradas, que constituye un diccionario de terminología ambiental muy útil para efectuar consultas rápidas.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Earthworm Ecology written by J. Satchell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Darwin cleared: official' This 1982 Times (7 January) head line of a first leader, reporting the astonishing case brought in Arkansas against compulsory teaching of a biblical account of creation, hopefully set at rest doubts about Darwin in the minds of a public confused by media presentations of such unfamiliar concepts as punctuated equilibria, cladism and phenetics. Mud sticks, but Darwin's perturbed ghost may have found some consolation in the concurrent celebrations at Grange-over-Sands, a modest township in Cumbria, UK, of the centenary of the publication of his less controversial book The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms. In the form of a symposium on earthworm ecology, this attracted some 150 participants, predominantly adrenalin-charged research workers in the full heat of peer-group interaction. This book comprises a selection of the more ecologically oriented papers contributed to the symposium, brutally edited in the interests of brevity and thematic continuity. The book opens with an appraisal of Darwin's earthworm work in its historical and philosophical context and relates his views on 'vegetable mould' to current concepts of humus formation. Thereafter, quotations from Darwin made out of piety have been rigorously excluded. Subsequent sections each comprise a review chapter and two or three 'case studies' presenting new data on a related topic.
Download or read book Biodeterioration 7 written by D. R. Houghton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the magnificent response to the call for papers for the 7th International Biodeterioration Symposium held at Cambridge, UK, some difficulties have been experienced in the editing of these proceedings. The numbers of papers submitted exceeded expectation and because of this it has been necessary to accommodate those not actually in the proceedings into the International Biodeterioration journal. A small number of papers were not suitable for publication and were therefore eliminated. Many authors disregarded the guidelines laid down for the length of submitted papers. However, every attempt has been made to accommodate the maximum number of contributions in the proceedings. The original selection included those which most nearly conformed to the length requirement. Even so this has meant, in many cases, cutting down the text, eliminating tables and/or illustrations and pruning the reference list. When references have been trimmed a note has been included to the effect that an extended list may be obtained from the author/senior author. Where it was not possible to carry out these procedures without seriously altering the text and the import of the paper they have been included amongst those to be published in the journal International Biodeterioration. The exceptions to the procedures outlined above are the invited review papers which have been presented in full. Happily, the authors have been conscientious in keeping to the guidelines laid down for these contributions.
Download or read book Emerging Theories in Health Promotion Practice and Research written by Ralph J. DiClemente and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a 'must-read' for all health promotion researchers and practitioners eager to stay one step ahead of the pack. A panoply of insightful and promising new approaches is presented for consideration and exploration in our contemporary behavioral science arsenal." — M. Elaine Auld, MPH, CHES, Chief Executive Officer, Society for Public Health Education "This book is an essential addition to the health practice and research literature, concentrating on theories that have not been extensively covered elsewhere and that have great currency. It provides an up-to-date rendition on the interplay among contemporary public health concerns, sound public health practice, and the theoretical bases for practice."— Robert M. Goodman, PhD, MPH, Dean and Professor, School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Indiana University "The authors of Emerging Theories provide vivid descriptions of the state of the science in health promotion and presents an exciting map for future research. Understanding and using theories is the hallmark of an excellent practitioner. Creating and elaborating theories is the mark of an excellent researcher. This text will be very valuable for both." — Noreen M. Clark, PhD, Myron E. Wegman Distinguished University Professor; Director, Center for Managing Chronic Disease, University of Michigan "Emerging Theories captures the dynamic growth in theories of health promotion and illustrates how divergent theoretical perspectives are being integrated into richer explanatory and practice models." — Matthew W. Kreuter, PhD, MPH, Professor of Social Work and Medicine; Director, Health Communication Research Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis
Download or read book Restoration Ecology written by William R. Jordan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-08-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.
