Discusses the global evolution of the earth, such as core-mantle separation, mantle-crust evolution, origin of ocean-atmosphere system, on the basis of isotope earth science andpaleomagnetism, where recent devlopment in planetology andastrophysical theories are extensively taken into account.
During the past few years the worlds has reverberated of names like Seveso, Love Canal, Lekkerkerk, Times Beach, just to name the most publicized ones.
I am pleased to be able to introduce this book by Monsieur lean-Claude Gall, firstly because it is a book, secondly because its author has been a colleague for 15 years, and finally because it is a book which demonstrates the growing importance of Palaeobiology.
When, in 1966, the Gennan Research Society directed the attention of oceanographers in the Federal Republic of Ger- many to problems of marine pollution, I was not enthusiastic.
The enormous public interest of specialists as well as of engaged and concerned citizens in the energy problem can be understood in view of the fact that the future of national and world-wide economy depends on the availability of sufficient primary energy.
Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover.
Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKW) und Chlorkohlenwasserstoffe (CKW) zerstören maßgeblich die lebenserhaltende Ozonschicht und tragen in erheblichem Umfang zum Treibhauseffekt bei.
Ten years ago the author, together with eight co-authors, edited a textbook Remote Sensing for Environmental Sciences within the series on Ecological Studies of Springer-Verlag.
This book focuses on the most recent developments in bioremediation techniques and what the future holds for bioremediation in order to reduce the amount of pollution in the world.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of bioactive phytochemicals within by-products from leaf, stem, root, and tuber vegetables, and it explores the valorisation of these vegetable cultivation and processing by-products, not only as a source of valuable bioenergy but also for health purposes.
In this book, we have contributions from experts working on diverse aspects of waste management and waste entrepreneurship with an aim to contribute toward a holistic understanding of the existing and forthcoming waste handling challenges.

This book is written to foster discussions on the valorization of agro-industrial waste as a raw material for bioactive compounds that can assist in disease containment, the protection of soil resources, and consequently, human health.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges associated with dye pollution and highlights opportunities for sustainable development in the textile industry.
Due to the threat of a possible global climate change and the greenhouse effect caused by constituents of anthropogenic origin in the atmosphere, air quality has become a major environmental issue.
As the availability of fossils fuels becomes more limited, the negative impact of their consumption becomes an increasingly relevant factor in our choices with regards to primary energy sources.
