Pollutant Effects in Fresh Waters provides a practical and concise introduction to the ecological consequences of water pollution in aquatic ecosystems...

We have identified a need to draw together knowledge of physiochemical and biological aspects of pollution in tropical aquatic systems. This book results from this and we hope will assist in providing management strategies to protect these systems from pollution effects...

Some children seem different, detached, disinterested in the games of other children. They prefer their hobbies to friends of their own age and if forced into community activities, as they often are at school, can become aggressive and difficult. In Loners, Sula Wolff describes a childhood personali..

Accurate predictions of storm surge are of importance in coastal areas. This book focuses on data-driven modelling using methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory for predicting storm surges. A number of new enhancements are presented: _x000D_ _x000D_ phase space dimensionality reduction_x000D_..
