Same-Sex Dynamics Among Nineteenth-Century Americans
Winner of the Herbert Feis Award from the American Historical Association and named one of the best religion books of the year by Publishers Weekly, D. Michael Quinn's Same-Sex Dynamics among Nineteenth-Century Americans has elicited critical acclaim as well as controversy. Using Mormonism as a case study of the extent of early America's acceptance of same-sex intimacy, Quinn examines several examples of long-term relationships among Mormon same-sex couples and the environment in which they flourished before the onset of homophobia in the late 1950s.
Organic Xenobiotics and Plants
Natural and agro-ecosystems are frequently exposed to natural or synthetic substances, which, while they have no direct nutritional value or significance in metabolism, may negatively affect plant functioning. These, xenobiotics, may originate from both natural (fires, volcano eruptions, soil or rock erosion, biodegradation) and anthropogenic (air and soil pollution, herbicides) sources. And, while affected plants have only a limited number of possibilities for avoiding accumulation of these compounds, they do exhibit several enzymatic reactions for detoxification including oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and conjugation reactions. In agro-ecosystems in particular these mechanisms have grea...
Soil Pollution
Despite having been published about two years ago for the first time, the continuous demand for this book encouraged me to prepare this revised and enlarged edition. Many parts of the text have been rewritten, type errors traced and corrected, and the bibliography largely modified to include many of the references published about the subject of soil pollution in the previous ten years. I should like to express my thanks to the staff of Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, for their cooperative efforts in preparing this edition. I also would like to thank Mr. Michael Sidwell (B.A.) for the extreme but characteristic care with which he read and revised the proofs. I hope that, in this new edition, the...

This book contains articles of experts from 14 different European countries with different professional background. It covers the following generalized topics: Interactions between landscape transformation and the structure of social systems and ecosystem services - the role of institutions and stakeholders in land use change - the various impacts of land use changes - coordination requirements in land use planning - approaches to address specific challenges in land management - stumbling blocks of integral land management.
René Roche
Les intentions de René Roche (1932-1992) s'expriment pleinement dans l'art monumental, peint ou sculpté, et dans un langage abstrait géométrique adopté en 1970. Ceci permet de mieux connaître la production multi-forme de René Roche (peinture, dessin, sculpture, vitrail), ainsi que son singulier itinéraire stylistique, biographique et professionnel.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Complexity
This book collects a range of contributions on nonlinear dynamics and complexity, providing a systematic summary of recent developments, applications, and overall advances in nonlinearity, chaos, and complexity. It presents both theories and techniques in nonlinear systems and complexity and serves as a basis for more research on synchronization and complexity in nonlinear science as well as a mechanism to fast-scatter the new knowledge to scientists, engineers, and students in the corresponding fields. Written by world-renown experts from across the globe, the collection is ideal for researchers, practicing engineers, and students concerned with machinery and controls, manufacturing, and controls.
