Large quantities of animal based raw materials are wasted in the developing countries; the most important reason for this situation being the absence of simple, affordable, economically viable and yet dependable technology as to be suitable under the prevailing conditions in the developing world. The present book addresses this reality in its entirety. The first publication to make economic use of animal byproducts for small throughputs was in 1962 by I. Mann. Nineteen eighty onwards, number of publications have appeared on the subject and continue to being published till date. The author has attempted to summarise and update the information of earlier publications and also reproduced some information considered essential in different chapters with relevant references. Additionally, detailed information on topics not covered so far in earlier works, such as 'Sanitation and Hygiene' (including microbes), 'Disposal of Condemned Materials' and 'Treatment of Slaughterhouse Effluents' has been added. With this, we seem to have traveled full circle as far as information on all aspects of making use of animal byproducts for small throughputs is considered. The need of the hour is 'to act'. Developing world, in particular, can take advantage of this.

  • 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...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    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...
