Engineering Geology and the Environment
Publication of volumes 4 and 5 from the June 1997 conference were significantly delayed (the first three volumes were published in 1997). Volume 5 contains general reports and post-symposium proceedings, including late contributions on engineering geology and geomorphological processes, natural and man-made hazards, urban and regional planning, and protections of geological, geographical, historical, and architectural heritage. Also includedd: a report stemming from a field trip to the Sterea Hellas and Corinth Canal, on the geological and geotechnical conditions of those areas; and the opening and closing speeches. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

People and Other Animals:
The book is a memoir drawn from the journals and observations of the author who documents a journey across the US to an unknown city in Northern California’s Bay Area. The narrative belongs to one who always expects the unexpected. The neighborhood is new and the author explores the streets and terrain on foot. As the characters emerge, the essence of the city reveals itself. A silver haired woman next door who feeds feral cats, a reclusive couple across the fence who nurture wildlife, curious occupants of a no-pet building, a paralysed man with an emotional support cat and a menagerie of wild and tame creatures in the author’s backyard. A feral cat enters the author’s home, giving birth to a kindle of kittens. Here begins a story of nurture which weaves itself into a lifetime’s commitment to animal love. The author, domesticating the young family, plunges headlong into a web of animal rights activists and rescuers. The rhythm of everyday life is colored by the antics of a family of cats. The cycle of life is sweet. Sometimes bittersweet. It defines for the reader the amity between humans and animals from a nearness and depth that is rare to find.
Surreal Adventurer
Black & white edition. In this present collection of poetry & texts, Sotère "Torregian remains" steadfastly, in the words of Andrew Joron, "the envoy of a utopian zone where (quoting Heidegger) the poet is 'the Shepherd of Being.'" "Sotère brokers no clauses with the author as the owner of his texts. He simply receives and emits linguistic ignition"--Will Alexander. "Torregian doesn't seek out mystery, he just encounters it in his experiences as they come, as he articulates them"--Bill Berkson. "In Sotère Torregian, we have not simply one of the most unique poets of the New York School, but one of the most unique poets writing today"--Garrett Caples. With an introduction by Dale Smith and 12 ink drawings by Brian Lucas.
A Guide to Forensic Geology
Forensic geology is the application of geology to aid the investigation of crime. A Guide to Forensic Geology was written by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), Initiative on Forensic Geology (IFG), which was established to promote and develop forensic geology around the world. This book presents the first practical guide for forensic geologists in search and geological trace evidence analysis. Guidance is provided on using geological methods during search operations. This developed following international case work experiences and research over the last 25 years for homicide graves, burials associated with serious and organised crime and counter terrorism. With expertise ...
Applied Multidimensional Geological Modeling
Over the past decades, geological survey organizations have digitized their data handling and holdings, unlocking vast amounts of data and information for computer processing. They have undertaken 3-D modeling alongside, and in some cases instead of, conventional geological mapping and begun delivering both data and interpretations to increasingly diverse stakeholder communities. Applied Multidimensional Geological Modeling provides a citable central source that documents the current capabilities and contributions of leading geological survey organization and other practitioners in industry and academia that are producing multidimensional geological models. This book focuses on applications related to human interactions with conditions in the shallow subsurface, within 100-200 m of the surface. The 26 chapters, developed by 100 contributors associated with 37 organizations, discuss topics relevant to any geologist, scientist, engineer, urban planner, or decision maker whose practice includes assessment or planning of underground space.
Urban Geoscience
This volume looks at the increasing demand for geoscientific input to planning urban land use, rectifying problems of decay and poor prior procedures, rehabilitating land after the closure of extractive and other industries, designing new constructions, and environmental assessment.
Landslides and Climate Change: Challenges and Solutions
Understanding the relationship between landslides and climate change is crucially important in planning a proactive approach to hazard and risk management. Advances in geohazard modelling and prediction enable us to be better prepared for the impacts of climate change, but there is still a need for effective risk management and informed plann
