Carbon Sequestration in Forest Ecosystems is a comprehensive book describing the basic processes of carbon dynamics in forest ecosystems, their contribution to carbon sequestration and implications for mitigating abrupt climate change. This book provides the information on processes, factors and causes influencing carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems. Drawing upon most up-to-date references, this book summarizes the current understanding of carbon sequestration processes in forest ecosystems while identifying knowledge gaps for future research, Thus, this book is a valuable knowledge source for students, scientists, forest managers and policy makers.

Our planet exists within a space environment affected by constantly changing solar atmosphere producing cosmic particles and electromagnetic waves. This "space weather" profoundly influences the performance of our technology because we primarily use two means for transmitting information and energy; namely, electromagnetic waves and electricity. On an everyday basis, we have developed methods to cope with the normal conditions. However, the sun remains a fiery star whose 'angry' outbursts can potentially destroy spacecrafts, kill astronauts, melt electricity transformers, stop trains, and generally wreak havoc with human activities. Space Weather is the developing field within astronomy that aims at predicting the sun’s violent activity and minimizing the impacts on our daily lives. Space Weather, Environment, and Societies explains why our technological societies are so dependent on solar activity and how the Sun disturbs the transmission of information and energy. Footnotes expand specific points and the appendices facilitate a more thorough command of the physics involved. This beautifully illustrated book is written for astronomy and nature enthusiasts as well as for the undergraduate/graduate level readers who would like to better master the physics of near space.

Air pollution damages materials, but it has changed dramatically in the past century, with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres. At the same time, architectural styles and types of materials have changed, as we have moved to more organically rich, photochemically active atmospheres. Contemporary air pollutants have the potential to degrade organic coatings and polymers, which are of great importance to modern structures, while increasing amounts of fine diesel soot spoil the simple lines and smooth areas characteristic of many modern buildings

Meer dan ooit bestaat er op het ogenblik belangstelling voor de vraagstukken die samenhangen met werken en leren, in het bijzonder nu niemand meer de koers in de richting van een kenniseconomie betwist: het nieuwe werken bestaat niet zonder leren. De aandacht voor het leren op en rond de werkplek is alleen maar toegenomen, waarbij we duidelijke accenten zien rond netwerken, talentontwikkeling en zelfsturing in de professionele ontwikkeling. De redactie van dit Handboek heeft het vakgebied anno 2011 in kaart gebracht, met de bijdragen van een groot aantal prominente auteurs uit het Nederlandse taalgebied. Het oorspronkelijke Handboek uit 2001 is nu volledig herzien en uitgebreid tot 30 hoofdstukken waaraan in totaal 43 auteurs hun medewerking hebben verleend. Het Handboek bestaat uit drie delen van elk 10 hoofdstukken. - Deel I: Perspectieven op leren, werken en ontwikkelen - Deel II: Vormgeven van de leeromgeving - Deel III Ondersteunen van het lerenBron : http://www.bol.com
