By the late twentieth century, idyllic depictions of eighteenth-century manorial landscapes had become artistic expressions of dislocation. Western agricultural paradigms had shifted, as had the relationship between art and agriculture. The Cultivated Landscape uses over seventy illustrations to look at the development of Western agriculture from feudal times to the present.
This textbook provides an overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contamination, in such a way that the reader can both understand and predict contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater, and surface water. In contract to most existing texts, soil and water pollution are treated as integrated environmental matter from a geographical/spatial perspective at point, local, regional, and catchment scales. The spatial approach links up with recent developments and trends in environmental legislation and other integrated catchment management initiatives. It consists of four coherent parts: 1. Introduction to soil and water contamination; 2. Source, role, and behavior of substances in soil and water; 3. Transport and fate processes of substances in soil and water; and 4. Patterns of substances in soil and water. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students in Earth and Environmental Sciences, who understand the fundamentals of chemistry, hydrology and soil science; may also serve as a useful reference for professionals.
Land is at the centre of crucial public debates ranging from climate adaptation to housing and development, to agriculture and indigenous peoples’ rights. These debates frequently become stuck, though, because the meaning of land in different contexts is poorly understood. Bringing together specialists of epistemology and land, this volume is a landmark contribution to understanding land knowledge as a complex factor in these debates. Land has been known in astonishingly different ways throughout history, but in recent decades one particular understanding of land as commodity has become increasingly hegemonic globally. This understanding has enormously destructive effects, not only for man...
Deze Geochemische bodematlas geeft een uniek overzicht van de chemische samenstelling van de bodem in Nederland. Bodemmonsters van meer dan 350 locaties zijn geanalyseerd op meer dan 40 chemische elementen. De atlas geeft niet alleen informatie over de door de mens beïnvloede toplaag van de bodem, maar ook over de dieper gelegen C-horizont die nog niet of nauwelijks door de mens is beïnvloed. De lijst van elementen omvat uiteraard bekende metalen als cadmium, koper en lood en relevante meststoffen als fosfor en kalium. Daarnaast geeft de atlas ook inzicht in gehalten van elementen waarvan minder bekend is, zoals thallium, uranium en lithium. Totaalgehalten alleen geven onvoldoende inzicht ...
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Immunology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Immunology in 2022. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof. Francesca Granucci Specialty Chief Editor of the Molecular Innate Immunity section, and Dr. Uday Kishore is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of molecular innate immunity.
