Earth & Environmental Science 2 Environmental Economics & Politics Uranium Anthony Burke ●● Explores the geopolitical intrigue around uranium and the profound dilemmas of justice and security to which its development has given rise ●● Explains that the twenty-first century will be a time of reckoning and new reserves of political will must be found to manage the impact of this extraordinary mineral. Only by cooperating to achieve multilateral disarmament and greater international control over nuclear power and mining practices can we ward off nuclear catastrophe and harness the potential of nuclear energy to help address, rather than create, some of the world's most pressing problem Print ISBN: 978-0-745-67051-5 (Cloth) US$99.95 / 978-0-745-67052-2 (Paper) US$29.95 • Jul 2016 • 224PP Uranium ISBN 978-0-7456-7052-2 9 780745 670522 ISBN 978-0-7456-7051-5 9 780745 670515 Geology & Geophysics Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards Joao Duarte & Wouter Schellart (Previously Announced ) ●● The more focused case studies will provide new research findings in key areas that over the years have attracted the interest and attention of many Earth Scientists and the popular media (e.g. Sumatra, Japan, San Andreas Fault, the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, SW Iberia, among others) ●● Includes some chapters on the potential risk of global natural hazards, prediction of natural disasters and mitigation of its impact ●● Focuses on some of the most fundamental problems of plate tectonics and provides major insights on how plate boundaries function ●● Reveals how major earthquakes and tsunamis are generated and how they impact modern societies ●● A potentially exciting tool for lecturing in universities and an indispensable working instrument for scientists working in the covered fields Print ISBN: 978-1-119-05397-2 (Cloth) US$TBA • SEP 2016 • 372PP ISBN 978-1-119-05397-2 9 781119 053972 Geophysics Terrestrial Water Cycle and Climate Change Natural and HumanInduced Impacts Previously Announced Qiuhong Tang & Taikan Oki ●● The Terrestrial Water Cycle: Natural and Human-Induced Changes is a comprehensive volume that investigates the changes in the terrestrial water cycle and the natural and anthropogenic factors that cause these changes ●● Brings together recent progress and achievements in large-scale hydrological observations and numerical simulations, specifically in areas such as in situ measurement network, satellite remote sensing and hydrological modeling ●● Extends and deepen our understanding of the changes in the terrestrial water cycle and to shed light on the mechanisms of the changes and their consequences in water resources and human well-being in the context of global change ●● A valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of hydrology, water resources, climate change, ecology, geophysics, and geographic sciences. The book will also be attractive to those who have general interests in the terrestrial water cycle, including how and why the cycle changes Print ISBN: 978-1-118-97176-5 (Cloth) US$149.95 • Aug 2016 • 230PP ISBN 978-1-118-97176-5 9 781118 971765
