The Rhine, in many ways the most important river in Europe has undergone not only tremendous contamination but also recreation. This book clearly demonstrates that the Rhine is by far the best investigated water body worldwide. Many well known scientists have presented their knowledge in this book covering a wide span of different topics.The development of the Rhine, its catchment area and hydrology is as well presented as the development of water protection requirements and early warning systems on the Rhine. Additionally the book describes many aspects of water quality from the Rhine but also from alpine lakes, tributaries, estuary and adjacent coastal waters connected with the Rhine. This work provides a great deal of data obtained from the analysis and up-to-date monitoring of organic micro pollutants, such as e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals, synthetic aromatic sulfonates, chelating agents, industrial chemicals and by-products from chemical syntheses.

It's always great to see people's faces when they copy their first Flash Lite applications or games onto their phones and press Run. The reaction is usually, "e;Wow!"e; Even something that would appear trivial when viewed on a web site somehow looks wholly impressive when running on that little color screen in your hand. By picking up this book, you're guaranteed to experience this moment for yourself. The aims of this book are to build on your current skill level-whether you're a beginner with no experience with Flash or an advanced coder with years of web programming prowess-and to give you the skills you need to create great content for mobile devices. At first, mobile Flash development might seem like a no brainer; you may have heard that you can just throw your Flash at the phone, and it just works-that's only half true. Creating content for devices carries with it a world of new limitations and possibilities, and it may require you to change how you think about users. On top of that, you are given new functionality to play with that can enrich the experience and give users what they really need, wherever they may be at the time.

Production from tropical agricultural systems will need to increase to satisfy the rising food demand of an increasing population coupled with changes in consumption patterns. At the same time, the agricultural sector is a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHG) in many developing countries, which can be attributed mainly to land-use change and methane emissions from rice and livestock. But how can we reconcile less GHG emissions from tropical agricultural systems while increasing productivity?Due to the interactive nature of these issues, this book is compiled of articles on natural resource management, as well as the socio-economic aspects of GHG mitigation. The scope of mitigation options in tropical agriculture is discussed for three different activities: (a) agroforestry; (b) rice-based production systems; (c) pasture/animal husbandry.Agronomic solutions alone will not be sufficient, as the institutional and economic frameworks within which farmers operate dictate whether a recommended agronomic management practice is acceptable. The prevention of deforestation, and the re-forestation of degraded land, could become key elements to national climate protection programs of some developing countries. Alternative management practices in rice-based and pasture systems may offer win-win options to reduce emissions and improve resource-use efficiencies.

In 1989 the Dutch government published a National Environmental Policy Plan (Dutch abbreviation NMP). This NMP is based on the book Concern for Tomorrow. a national environmental survey by RIVM (the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection). A major conclusion of the RIVM study was that emissions of many pollutants had to be cut by 70 - 90 % in order to reach environmental quality goals. The government accepted the RIVM analysis and consequently ClUTent Dutch environmental policy aims at large reduction of pollutants. Another conclusion of the RIVM study was that such high reduction goals would not be easy to achieve by technological means alone, and that thus structural changes would be required. These changes could eventually lead to sustainable development, which now forms the major focus of Dutch government national environmental policy. This being so, the Dutch government requested that RIVM in subsequent issues of Concern for Tomorrow should investigate the options for sustainable development.

Taking Complexity Seriously applies the advanced policy analysis technique of triangulation to what is now the world's most complex public policy challenge: sustainable development. One central problem of public policy analysis has been to find new ways of analyzing issues of increasing complexity and uncertainty. Triangulation is perhaps the best example of these novel techniques, as it uses various methods, databases, theories, and approaches to converge on what to do about the complex issue in question. Taking Complexity Seriously uses four different theoretical approaches (Girardian economics, cultural theory, critical theory, and the local justice framework) to triangulation in order to converge on answers to four major policy questions: What is sustainable development? Why is it an issue? What needs to be done? What can actually be done? These four approaches are used to analyze the sustainable development controversy that recently arose in the pages of Science magazine and the journal Ecological Applications. These different approaches prove highly potent in defamiliarizing conventional wisdom about sustainable development. Ultimately the different approaches will converge on novel answers to the four questions. The practical implications of these conclusions are drawn out at the end of Taking Complexity Seriously in a detailed case study of ecosystem management.

Air pollution is ubiquitous in industrialized societies, causing a host of environmental problems. It is thus essential to monitor and reduce pollution levels. A number of plant species already are being exploited as detectors (for phytomonitoring) and as scavengers (for phytoremediation) of air pollutants. With advances in biotechnology, it is now feasible to modify plants for a wider range of phytomonitoring and phytoremediation applications. Air Pollution and Plant Biotechnology presents recent results in this field, including plant responses during phytomonitoring, pollution-resistant plant species, imaging diagnosis of plant responses, and the use of novel transgenic plants, along with reviews of basic plant physiology and biochemistry where appropriate. Researchers and students working in plant biotechnology and the environmental sciences or considering new areas of investigation will find this volume a valuable reference.

In diesem Buch werden einige Aufsatze zusammengestellt, die sich mit aktuellen Fragen der Energiewirtschaft in ihrem Verhaltnis zur Volkswirtschaft und zur Umwelt beschaftigen. So unterschiedlich die Autoren sind, so unterschiedlich sind auch die Denkansatze in den Arbeiten. Einig sind sich die Autoren darin, da Energie, Wirtschaft und Umwelt in ihrer engen Verflechtung und Wechselwirkung betrachtet werden mussen. Sie sind davon uberzeugt, da Energie- und Umweltziele nicht losgelost von der Wirtschaft formuliert und durchgesetzt, sondern nur durch rationelles und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften tatsachlich nutzbringend verwirklicht werden konnen. Irisofern sehen sich die Autoren - trotz der im einzelnen durchaus kritischen Auerungen - in der geistigen Linie, die 1992 durch die ON-Konferenz in Rio de Janeiro zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung weltweit markiert worden ist. Ganz selbstverstandlich ist daher auch die Option Kernenergie - m emem durchaus bescheidenen Umfang - in der Betrachtung enthalten: nicht als Heilsbringer, aber auch nicht als Kondensationspunkt allen Ubels, eben als Option, auf wirtschaftlich und okologisch vernunftige Weise Energie bereitzustellen, um die Wirtschaft voranzubringen, Armut und Unwissenheit zu bekampfen, Gesundheit und Wohlstand fur alle Volker unserer Erde zu gewahrleisten.

In der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft herrscht Einigkeit darüber, daß sich die Erde erwärmt. Erbittert wird aber über das Ausmaß gestritten. Dieses Buch ist geeignet, die Debatte zu versachlichen und zu beleben. Der Autor beschreibt die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse und die sich daraus ergebenden möglichen Folgen für das Erdklima. Die klare und ausgewogene Darstellung wird durch zahlreiche informative Karten und Graphiken unterstützt. Der Leser wird angeregt, über Fragen nachzudenken, die im Mittelpunkt der Umweltdiskussion stehen: Können wir unseren Lebensstil beibehalten? Welche Welt werden wir unseren Kindern hinterlassen? Sind wir fähig, von einem reinen Konsumverhalten zu einer schonenden Nutzung der Rohstoffe überzugehen?
