This title was first published in 2000: The central aim of the Common Agricultural Policy is to support the incomes of farmers, yet reliable information on the overall incomes of farmers and their households is scarce.
This book develops an analytical framework for understanding United States foreign agricultural policy through a "e;state interest"e; approach, and describes and analyses seven cases of food policy decisions through this perspective which shows that decision makers sought on most occasions to utilise US food resources to accomplish foreign policy objectives.
The proceedings in this work present 60 papers on mine and mill tailings and mine waste, as well as current and future issues facing the mining and environmental communities.
This text covers the use of computer applications in the mineral industries, encompassing topics such as the use of computer visualization in mining systems and aspects such as ventilation and safety.
The objective of this text is to provide information on mill tailings and mine waste, and to discuss current and future issues facing the mining and environmental communities.
Topics in this international symposium on mining in the arctic included arctic mining in Raglan; analysis and prediction of water infiltration in underground, frozen placer mines; red dog mine-operations update and design of paste tailings disposal in the Russian Sub-Arctic.
Presenting current and emerging technologies in the field of mine planning and equipment, this volume also covers control and automation for surface and underground mining.
This collection of symposium papers covers a wide range of topics on rock fragmentation, from carefully documented case studies to attempts, for example, at fractal representation of the fracture process itself.
Covering the subject of ground control in mining, this volume looks at such topics as: rock-slab theory of ground pressure in work and practice, the role of in situ-stress in mine planning, and the status of the art of cable bolting.
This text provides a process oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx, for modelling geology.
A study on rock mechanics in salt mining, this work includes coverage of the exploration and opening of salt mining, deformation and failure of the salt, strata mechanics and control for different mining systems, and stability analyses of the mine structures.
By seeking to rediscover the profession's agricultural roots, this volume proposes a 21st-century shift in thinking about landscape architecture that is no longer driven by binary oppositions, such as urban and rural; past and present; aesthetics and ecology; beautiful and productive, but rather prioritizes a holistic and cross-disciplinary framing.

The Handbook of Irrigation System Selection for Semi-Arid Regions compares the various types of available irrigation systems for different regions and conditions, and explains how to analyze field data to determine the suitability of the land for surface, sprinkle, or drip irrigation systems.

Praise for the Second Edition:"e;This is the book that the dewatering sector really needs - it is reliably based on sound theory and profound understanding of the physical processes, yet is presented in a very accessible and user-friendly manner.
