Rich and strange from the tip of its title to its deep-sunk bones' Robert MacfarlaneFrom the author of Leviathan, or, The Whale, comes a composite portrait of the subtle, beautiful, inspired and demented ways in which we have come to terms with our watery planet.
The author examines natural disasters around the Pacific Rim throughout history together with scientific data context to produce enlightening-and highly readable-entries.
This single-volume resource explores the five major oceans of the world, addressing current issues such as sea rise and climate change and explaining the significance of the oceans from historical, geographic, and cultural perspectives.

Plastics widespread use and ease of disposal after a single use mean they accumulate rapidly in landfills and the environment, often ending up in wastewater systems.
There has been an explosive growth of methods in recent years for learning (or estimating dependency) from data, where data refers to known samples that are combinations of inputs and corresponding outputs of a given physical system.
This text describes several geological processes, such as the lithospheric deformation and evolution of groundwater resources, which are directly or indirectly influenced by the movements of subsurface fluids from crustal level to the Earth's core.

The last one or two decades have witnessed an increased interest in to- pographic Rossby waves, both from a theoretical computational as well as an observational point of view.
The Baltic Sea area is an old cultural landscape with a well developed international framework for monitoring, assessing and managing its marine ecosystems.
In the last three years, there have been three large tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, most notably the notorious one which struck on 26 December 2004 and killed more than 238,000 people.
This book gives a comprehensive, theoretical account of the wave-wave interaction process responsible for high acoustic noise levels, including: a geometric description of the interaction mechanism, which provides the basis for a full-wave analysis of the source process, the inclusion of both the monogeneous and inhomogeneous components of the wave-induced pressure field in the analytical description of the source, an examination of the relative contributions of the sum and difference-frequency components of the wave interaction process, the removal of the deep-water assumption of earlier analyses, and the development of an "e;exact"e; analytical expression which allows the source function of the wave-induced pressure field to be calculated over the whole frequency-wave number domain.
The concern over the entry of agrochemicals and other xenobiotics into drinking water resources and over the general quality of drinking water is increasing.
