Ethics and Law for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear & Explosive Crises
This book provides a current analysis of the legal and ethical challenges in preparing for and responding to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) crises. From past events like the Chernobyl nuclear incident in Russia or the Bhopal chemical calamity in India, to the more recent tsunami and nuclear accident in Japan or the Ebola crisis in Africa, and with the on-going threat of bioterrorism, the need to be ready to respond to CBRNE crises is uncontroversial. What is controversial is whether we are on a path that adequately prepares us for the next event. The ethical and legal scholars in this volume hold that much work remains to be done and offer this book to stimulate further reflection and dialogue around CBRNE crises. This is an indispensable book for both students and scholars of bioethics, international law, public health, as well as for regulators and administrators developing policy and legislation related to public health planning and emergency responses.
Archaeoseismology
Archaeoseismic research provides data and information on past earthquakes but is limited by the lack of ongoing discussions about methodology. This volume is an interdisciplinary approach including archaeologists, geologists, geophysicists, seismologists, engineers, and architects from different countries to present a comprehensive recording and interpretation of ancient natural disasters on some case studies. The publication is an introduction to various aspects of the field of archaeoseismology for the knowledge of past seismicity, the reconstruction of the chronological history of a place, the interpretation and identification of seismic effects using different methods, etc. The collection provides an overview of research into archaeoseismology, making new contributions through innovative ideas on various topics. The publication can be an illustrative introduction to better understand the complexity of interpreting seismic effects on ancient and modern masonries, particularly for students with an open mind.
Engineering Geology for Society and Territory - Volume 5
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of urban geology. Along with a rapidly growing world population, the wave of urban growth continues, causing cities to swell and new metropolitan centers to emerge. These global trends also open new ventures for underground city development. Engineering geology plays a major role in facing the increasing issues of the urban environment, such as: finding aggregates for construction works; providing adequate water supply and waste management; solving building problems associated to geological and geomorphological conditions; evaluating host rock conditions for underground constructions; preventing or mitigating geolo...
Dogs, Past and Present
This volume gathers contributions from scholars from a variety of disciplines to provide a comprehensive assessment of the importance of dogs through history. There is a focus on the necessity of an ‘interdisciplinary perspective’ to fully understand the fundamental role that dogs have played in our past.
Cosmas of Prague
The Latin-English bilingual volume presents the text of The Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague. Cosmas was born around 1045, educated in Liège, upon his return to Bohemia, he got married as well as became a priest. In 1086 he was appointed prebendary, a senior member of clergy in Prague. He completed the first book of the Chronicle in 1119, starting with the creation of the world and the earliest deeds of the Czechs up to Saint Adalbert. In the second and third books Cosmas presents the preceding century in the history of Bohemia, and succeeds in reporting about events up to 1125, the year when he died. The English translation was done by Petra Mutlova and Martyn Rady with the cooperation of Libor Švanda. The introduction and the explanatory notes were written by Jan Hasil with the cooperation of Irene van Rensvoude.T
Historical Seismology
Modern seismology has faced new challenges in the study of earthquakes and their physical characteristics. This volume is dedicated to the use of new approaches and presents a state-of-the-art in historical seismology. Selected historical and recent earthquakes are chosen to document and constrain related seismic parameters using updated methodologies in the macroseismic analysis, field observations of damage distribution and tectonic effects, and modelling of seismic waveforms.
Marsica 1915 - L’Aquila 2009
Collana Antico/Futuro diretta da Claudio Varagnoli Il volume riunisce gli atti del convegno Ricostruzioni: Marsica 1915, L’Aquila 2009, organizzato con il Comune di Pescina (AQ) il 17 gennaio 2015 dall’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia e dall’Università di Chieti-Pescara “G. d’Annunzio”. La manifestazione rientrava nel quadro delle numerose attività che varie istituzioni pubbliche hanno organizzato per il centenario del grande terremoto del 1915. L’attenzione per l’anniversario di questo sisma – che danneggiò seriamente un ampio settore dell’Italia centrale – ha soprattutto riguardato la Marsica, territorio dell’Abruzzo prossimo all’Aquila, città co...
Quaderni di Archeologia d'Abruzzo, 1/2009
Articolato in un solo tomo, il Notiziario 2009 si divide in tre sezioni: Contributi, Notiziario e Attività Varie. La prima sezione è dedicata agli approfondimenti scientifici e tematici su nuovi e vecchi studi dell’archeologia in Abruzzo. In questo numero vengono presentati 17 contributi. Il Notiziario, articolato per province, accoglie le relazioni degli interventi effettuati nel corso del 2009 dalla Soprintendenza, sia direttamente che indirettamente attraverso il controllo e/o la partecipazione a scavi e indagini condotte da Università italiane e straniere, cooperative o società archeologiche, e gruppi di volontari, variamente organizzati, che rappresentano nella regione una realtà viva ed importante. L’ultima sezione contiene brevi notizie su eventi, mostre, laboratori scolastici ed altre iniziative tenutesi sul territorio e offre l’opportunità di avere un quadro delle attività didattiche e di valorizzazione svolte dall’istituzione.
Quaderni di Archeologia d'Abruzzo, 2/2010
Articolato in un solo tomo, il Notiziario 2010 contiene, in apertura, gli Atti del convegno in onore di Valerio Cianfarani dal titolo “Valerio Cianfarani e le culture medioadriatiche”, tenutosi a Chieti e Teramo dal 27 al 29 giugno 2008. Gli Atti sono curati da Emanuela Ceccaroni, Amalia Fastoferri e Andrea Pessina. Il volume include le consuete due sezioni dedicate alle Notizie e alle Attività Varie. Le prime, suddivise per province, accolgono le relazioni degli interventi effettuati nel corso del 2010 dalla Soprintendenza, sia direttamente che indirettamente attraverso il controllo e/o la partecipazione a scavi, ricerche e studi di archeologia di Università, cooperative o società archeologiche, gruppi archeologici e centri di ricerca italiani e stranieri. L’ultima sezione contiene brevi notizie sugli eventi, mostre, laboratori scolastici collegati alla Soprintendenza archeologica.
