The present book entitled 'Water Pollution and its Recent Challenges' embodies pioneer researches delivered and discussed during the two-day UGC sponsored National Seminar organized by the University Department of Chemistry, S.K.M. University, Dumka, Jharkhand in April 2011, convened by Dr. Hashmat Ali, on the most burning issue of the day viz. Water Pollution. The seminar was attended by a galaxy of Scientists and Researchers from different parts of India. By far the most serious and ominous problem the world is facing today is the problem of water pollution. In spite of adopting various measures in existence so far to check the pollution, the situation is worsening in its complexity day by day due to rapid industrialization, urbanization and exponential growth in population. Moreover, reckless exploitation of water resources to meet the growing demands without paying heed towards sustainability factors has deteriorated the situation furthermore. In the context of such a critical situation, the book, I am sure, will be proved a boon for the speedy control of the continuously deteriorating situation of the problem as the topics contained in the book emphasize mainly over the remedial measures to combat, mitigate and check the pollution. For, some of the most significant deliberations after peer review have been selected to design the book in hand a peerless treatise. The editor realizing the utility and the standard of the book hopes that it would be of immense benefit to Students, Research Scholars, Teachers, Industrialists, NGOs, Policy makers and Scientists working in the field of Water Pollution.

    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...

    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...
