Abstract

This handbook explores the applications of polymer foams, and the properties that make them suitable for so many applications, in the detail required by postgraduate students, researchers and the many industrial engineers and designers who work with polymer foam in industry. It covers the mechanical properties of foams and foam microstructure, processing of foams, mechanical testing and analysis (using Finite element analysis). In addition, it uniquely offers a broader perspective on the actual engineering of foams and foam based (or foam including) products by including nine detailed

Abstract

Dirt, soil, call it what you want--it is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. In this natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern environmental calamities, earth scientist Montgomery explores the idea that we are--and have long been--using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored in a single lifetime but fast enough over time to limit the lifespan of civilizations. Montgomery traces the role of soil use and abuse in the history of Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, China, Native American civilizations, European colonialism, and the American push westward. We see how soil has shaped history--as society after society has risen, prospered, and plowed through a natural endowment of fertile dirt, leaving a legacy of impoverished lands.--From publisher description.

Abstract

The inclusion of ecology concepts to this third edition of 'Soil Microbiology and Biochemistry' reflects the broader applicability of the science. Expanded from 13 to 19 chapters this book reflects the great advances in molecular techniques, the broader use of tracers, and the maturation of modeling in interpretation of data and development of new concepts. New chapters include invertebrate-microbial interactions, basic physiology, and ecological interpretations. This edition has also been expanded with contributions from leading soil microbiologists and agronomists on both fundamental and applied aspects of the science. Students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, and environmental science will find guidance through basic concepts and applications of various soil processes as well as being introduced to microbial processes in water and sediments. This book also serves as an invaluable resource for biogeochemistry, microbiology, sustainable agriculture, and environmental amelioration researchers. KEY FEATURES *Includes many interpretive diagrams *Provides compact and concise coverage of soil microbiology *Thoroughly updated and expanded to include bioremdiation, soil molecular biology, biodiversity, and global climate change Eldor A. Paul is a Professor of Soil Microbiology and Biochemistry in Crop and Soil Sciences at Michigan State University, East Lansing. He earned degrees from the University of Alberta and the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on the dynamics of soil organic matter and the microbial ecology of soil. Dr. Paul is a Fellow of ASA, SSSA, the Canadian Society of Soil Science, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. NEW TO THIS EDITION: * All figures in full-color * New section on Ecology integrated with biochemistry and microbiology- especially useful to the non specialist * New chapters: bioremdiation, soil molecular biology, biodiversity, and global climate change * Includes many interpretive diagrams * Provi
