        Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water

        by Edited by H Tunney, P C Brookes, A E Johnston

        Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input has long been recognised as necessary to maintain profitable crop production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries, recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed. This book has been developed from an international workshop held in Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists, ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water utilities.

        Nutrition and Disease Prevention, Second Edition

        by Toney Allman

        Praise for the previous edition: "For biology, culinary arts classes, and health classes needing information about the importance of good nutrition, [this] would be valuable...Recommended."—Library Media Connection Nutrition and Disease Prevention, Second Edition delves into the complex relationship between nutrition and the prevention of disease. From classic deficiency diseases to problems of metabolism and nutrient absorption, and from severe malnutrition to obesity, nutritional status means the difference between health and sickness or even life and death. Today, researchers are defining the relationship between nutrients and the development of diseases in previously unsuspected ways—approaches that may lead to longer, healthier lives for all.

        Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology

        A Study and Revision Guide

        by J P F D'Mello

        Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

        Kaspar Hauser’s Brothers and Sisters. In search of the wild man

        by P. J. Blumenthal

        What makes human beings human? Is it a life in society that makes us what we are? We often hear stories of persons who have survived in the wild without social contact or who were supposedly raised by wild animals. Kaspar Hauser is probably the most well-known example, but certainly not the only one. P. J. Blumenthal has taken up the hunt for the “wild man” Homo ferus on the boundary between man and animal.

        Die irgendwie richtige Richtung

        Eine Pilgerreise

        by Gideon Lewis-Kraus

        »Jakobsweg – Zielstrebigkeit – 10. Juni«. Was soll das? Er kann sich beim besten Willen nicht mehr erinnern, warum er das in sein Notizbuch geschrieben hat. Gideon ruft seinen Freund Tom an, und der weiß es. Sie sind zum gemeinsamen Pilgern verabredet. Am 10. Juni geht es los. Der Weg ist das Ziel, alles andere ist egal. Hauptsache, die Richtung stimmt, irgendwie. Santiago di Compostela ist weit entfernt, aber Berlin mit seinen Galerieeröffnungen, Bars und Clubs glücklicherweise auch. Pilgernd will er sich von den Zwängen der grenzenlosen Freiheit befreien. Und der ersten großen Krise seines Lebens entkommen, in die er geriet, als der Vater, ein schwuler Rabbi aus New Jersey, die Familie verließ, um mit seinem Freund zusammenzuziehen. Pilgernd kommt er dem eigenen Glück und dem Mysterium seiner Familie, Vaters verborgenem Leben, auf die Spur. Zum Schluss hat sich etwas verändert. Er hat sich verändert. Er hat das Rätsel seines Lebens gelöst. »Im Verlauf eines Jahres, im Verlauf dieses schönen, lebensklugen, drogen-, freundschaft- und sexverherrlichenden Buches wird Gideon Lewis-Kraus geradezu in eine Pilgerschaftsabhängigkeit geraten und von Ort zu Ort ziehen, fort aus der Welt der unendlichen Freiheiten oder der unendlichen Abhängigkeiten, hinüber in die Wanderwelt der Notwendigkeit.« Volker Weidermann, FAS
