Die frische Luft, die Weite des Meeres und die Schönheit der Natur locken Strandwanderer scharenweise an die Küsten von Nord- und Ostsee. Manch einer lässt den Blick in die Ferne schweifen, andere hingegen laufen am Spülsaum entlang und betrachten die Dinge, die die Wellen an den Strand geworfen haben. Die Hoffnung, einen Bernstein zu finden, lädt zu stunden-langen Spaziergängen ein. Der Blick nach unten offenbart dabei aber auch Zeugen einer überaus reichen Fauna und Flora. Und mit der Zeit wächst das Bedürfnis, mehr über die Bewohner des nassen Elementes zu erfahren. Wie und wo leben die Tiere und Pflanzen, die nun vor unseren Füßen liegen? Wie kann man sie erkennen und bestimmen?Hier soll das vorliegende Buch Hilfestellung geben. Es zeigt Pflanzen und Tiere, so wie man ihnen bei Strandwanderungen am Spülsaum, an der Steilküste oder im Wattenmeer begegnet. Und ein paar wissenswerte Dinge über u.a. Strandkrabbe, Schlickkrebs und Bohrmuschel ergänzen Hinweise zur Bestimmung der Funde. Und so gibt es manche Geschichte zu erzählen, die die "toten" Strandfunde mit Leben füllen können.

This book presents the first report and interpretation of the deformation, structural style, and geo-tectonic evolution of a 600km2 area of the Ladakh batholith, NW India, centred on the city of Leh, Ladakh. The Ladakh (and westerly Kohistan ) batholith comprises a large component of the Jurassic-Oligocene Kohistan-Ladakh Arc-Terrane (KLA), with magmatism spanning island arc, continental margin, and post-Himalayan collision tectonic environments. The KLA is bounded to the north by the Shyok-Northern Suture and to the south by the Indus Suture. The batholith illustrates basement thick-skin tectonic deformation and is divided/partitioned into a series of crustal blocks separated by lateral accommodation structures which allow independent movement in horizontal and vertical space. Thin skinned deformation within the adjacent sedimentary molasse Indus Suture Rocks produced large thrust stacks that predominantly moved towards the N-NE. Whilst deformation within cover sequences influences the basement structures, and helps break up the basement into crustal blocks, there is a clear distinction in deformation between the basement and cover sequences. Basement batholith deformation is more complex and heterogeneous, reflecting the variable transmission of tectonic stress within crystalline crust and the presence of a wide range of precursory inherited weaknesses and anisotropies. Models of time-space deformation are presented using data derived from field and extensive photograph / photo-mosaic image interpretation. The batholith was deformed during at least Palaeocene-Pliocene times at crustal depths that correspond to the ductile-brittle transition zone and shallower.

Textile industry wastewater contains toxic dyes as well as heavy metals and many other persistent organic compounds which are difficult to biodegrade using conventional biological methods. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are one of the best alternatives for the effective degradation of such compounds. This Volume 2 starts with homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton processes and reviews the application and variables that affect the process. It then discusses plasma technology- an emerging method in terms of its chemistry, treatment set-up, limitations, etc. The positive performance of carbon tetrachloride in process intensification of dye degradation is presented. The other chapters include topics such as sonoenzymatic treatment processes, electroflocculation versus textile wastewater, combination of photocatalysis and membrane Separation, and enhancement of anaerobic digestion and photodegradation through adsorption.

"Perhaps the history of no State in the Union contains more events of adventurous interest than that of Tennessee." -William Henry Carpenter Historian William Henry Carpenter (1813-1899) was the author of history books on ten different states. In 1857 Carpenter published "The History of Tennessee: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time."In introducing his book, Carpenter writes:"Perhaps the history of no State in the Union contains more events of adventurous interest than that of Tennessee. Settled originally by a rough border population, surrounded by vindictive and subtle enemies, upon whose territory they had established themselves in defiance of opposition and in contempt of danger, the long and bloody wars which followed encroachments repeatedly renewed have no parallel except in the annals of Kentucky. Yet this sturdy people, separated from the older States by intervening mountains, not only sustained themselves against the incessant assaults of their adversaries, but righted their own wrongs, assisted to repel invasion, and finally evolved order and prosperity out of tumult and disaster."

New edition with the original maps, illustrations and sidebars that were omitted in the eBook."…a fascinating read for anyone interested in the planet on which we live and how it came to be as it is." Geoscience CanadaThis book is more than the story of how a continent formed over 4 billion years. Told in readable, entertaining prose and filled with personal and geological anecdotes, Ghost Mountains and Vanished Oceans tells the story of our world, and in doing so, it tells our story. As the author says: "An understanding of the geology of the Earth is essential to truly understanding our place on it. To put it the other way round, we cannot understand life and our place in it without understanding the ball of rock on which, and out of which, it evolved. We are not just passengers on a dead piece of cosmic debris whirling through space; we are an integral part of an exceptional, dynamic system that produced both ourselves and our Earth. In a very real sense, geology made us.""…this book is a true, well-crafted page-turner…If you've ever wondered how the continents and the particular slab of rock you live on came about, you will love this book. Even if you don't, you'll still love it. Highly recommended." Amazon Reviewer

This book seeks to deepen readers¿ understanding of world history by investigating urbanization and the evolution of urban systems, as well as the urban world, from the perspective of historical analysis. The theoretical framework of the approach stems directly from space-economy, and, more generally, from location theory and the theory of urban systems.The author explores a certain logic to be found in world history, and argues that this logic is spatial (in terms of spatial inertia, spatial trends, attractive and repulsive forces, vector fields, etc.) rather than geographical (in terms of climate, precipitation, hydrography). Accordingly, the book puts forward a truly original vision of urban world history, one that will benefit economists, historians, regional scientists, and anyone with a healthy curiosity.

Der Spiegel-Bestseller erstmals als Taschenbuch - mit einem neuen Vorwort von Götz Aly Neben Denkmälern und Straßennamen zeugen zauberhafte Museumsobjekte von den einstigen Kolonien - doch wie sind sie zu uns gekommen und woher stammen sie? Götz Aly deckt auf, dass es sich in den allermeisten Fällen um koloniale Raubkunst handelt, und erzählt, wie brutal deutsche Händler, Abenteurer und Ethnologen in der Südsee auf Raubzug gingen. So auch auf der Insel Luf: Dort zerstörten sie Hütten und Boote und rotteten die Bewohner fast vollständig aus. 1902 rissen Hamburger Kaufleute das letzte, von den Überlebenden kunstvoll geschaffene, hochseetüchtige Auslegerboot an sich. Heute ziert das weltweit einmalige Prachtstück das Entree des Berliner Humboldt Forums.  Götz Aly dokumentiert die Gewalt, Zerstörungswut und Gier, mit der deutsche »Strafexpeditionen« über die kulturellen Schätze herfielen. Das Publikum sollte und soll sie bestaunen - aber bis heute möglichst wenig vom Leid der ausgeraubten Völker erfahren. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Debatte über Raubkunst, Kolonialismus und Rassismus und zugleich ein erschütterndes Stück deutscher Geschichte. »Was für ein Buch! Was für Erkenntnisse!« Bénédicte Savoy

This volume contains 22 chapters introducing a wide range of semi-arid and geologic landscapes. Botswana, a thinly populated nation, the size of France, is a Southern African keystone country at the heart of the Kalahari, sharing some of the major sub-continental drainage basins such as the Limpopo, Zambezi, Orange, and Okavango with its neighbouring countries. The extensive Kalahari Sand surface has been sculptured by numerous past processes which have produced subtle but regional landforms consisting of extensive dunes and shorelines. Incipient rifting has created the dynamic Okavango and Makgadikgadi fan-basin systems which produces iconic wetlands with a world heritage status. Geological outcrops in particular to the east expose highly denuded basement lithologies which produces numerous inselbergs that are home to a rich archaeological heritage. The book also examines the geomorphology of mineral and water resources which sustain the economy and population and also features dedicated chapters that cover diamondiferous kimberlites, caves, pans, dams, duricrusts and wildlife.Chapter 6 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

I dedicate this booklet to all those who love the Canadian outdoors, who appreciate our forests, our wildlife and the flora and fauna that rely on trees, marshlands and water for food and shelter.My hope is that this booklet will encourage readers to do more to help preserve what remains of our wilderness, watersheds, animals and birds. All of these appear to be dwindling as a result of widespread de-forestation and housing developments.
