Product Description
A comprehensive set of real-world environmental laboratory experiments integrating air, soil, and water analysis into one laboratory manual The gold standard of any scientific experiment or procedure is repeatability. Any peer should be able to produce similar results by working from the laboratory notes of the original investigator. The practice of environmental chemistry demands an even higher standard, that of “legal defensibility.” Since any laboratory monitoring, no matter how routine, can easily end up as evidence in a pollution case, lab notebooks must not only show proper, repeatable scientific procedures, but also must do so in a standardized format subject to legal scrutiny.

Product Description
Featuring an accessible, non-mathematical, but rigorous conceptual treatment–with numerous very simple explanatory illustrations–this introduction to the basic principles of glaciology, geomorphology, and geology serves as a portal to the more advanced literature in the field and to discussion and research of the local situation. Focusing on processes and history (not just descriptions), it helps readers understand how glaciers form and move, what effect they have, when and where they have affected the Earth, and the consequences of ice ages. Covers a full range of topics from glaciology, geomorphology, and glacial geology: Ice Properties. Glaciers. Glacial Erosion. Glacial Transportation And Deposition. Gla… More >>

Product Description
Taking as his case-study the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador, where 600,000 people lack easy access to potable water, Erik Swyngedouw aims to reconstruct, theoretically and empirically, the political, social, and economic conduits through which water flows, and to identify how power relations infuse the metabolic transformation of water as it becomes urban. These flows of water which are simultaneously physical and social carry in their currents the embodiment of myriad social struggles and conflicts. The excavation of these flows narrates stories about the city’s structure and development. Yet these flows also carry the potential for an improved, more just, and more equitable right to the city and its water. The … More >>
