In the past few years we have seen the emergence growing demand, widespread desire in our country and indeed everywhere, that positive action is required to be taken to restore the quality of our environment for survival to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, water, noise, solid waste (Electronic, Nuclear etc). Since the seemingly idealistic demand for 'zero discharge' can be construed as a demand for zero waste. However, as long as there is waste, we can only attempt to abate the consequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. In those instances, in which a particular type of pollution has been recognized, three major questions usually arise; how serious is the pollution? Is the technology to abate it available? and Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved ? The principal objectives of this book on Pollution Abatement and Control will be helpful in formulating the useful answers to these questions and to examine the benefits that could accrue to the society form abatement of pollution; otherwise nature has its own plans.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
