Nirgendwo liegen Furcht und Faszination so eng beieinander wie bei der Vorstellung, einem sogenannten »Menschenfresser« zu begegnen. Aber sind Tiger, Löwe, Krokodil und andere Raubtiere tatsächlich die Bestien, für die wir sie halten? Wie wird ein Tier zum Menschenfresser? Warum stehen bei einigen Löwen Menschen auf der Speisekarte und bei anderen nicht? Und warum verwechseln Haie Surfer mit Robben? Biologe Mario Ludwig lüftet die letzten Geheimnisse der »Maneater« und sorgt für so manche Überraschung.

This monograph size document, first released in 1970, originated from a software of study at assets for the long run that handled the administration of residuals and of environmental caliber. It provides a number of the extensive techniques that this system used to be in keeping with and represents the hassle to wreck out of the normal procedure in pollutants and coverage learn, which had handled air, water, and good waste difficulties as separate different types. This publication may be of curiosity to scholars of economics and environmental studies.

The ebook demonstrates that the ocean backside performs host to various clay minerals particular to the marine atmosphere: ferric di-trioctahedral ``serpentine'', ferric chlorite, ferric smectite, ferric mica, ferric ``swelling chlorite'', all frequent in current oceans and all essentially shaped through crystal progress and recrystallization strategies in semi-confined marine microenvironments.
A certain characteristic of the ebook is the inclusion of the 1st exact research of the verdine facies characterised by means of quite a few authigenic eco-friendly clays, a few of that are new clay mineral species frequent in all tropical oceans. The celadonite-bearing facies has been studied intensively within the previous few years and new effects are received from deep sea samples and from land outcrops. the present wisdom is synthesized and reviewed compared to the glaucony facies. a brand new technique is followed within the description of the previous oolitic ironstone facies during which a comparability is made with the hot verdine facies.
The fabric is amply illustrated all through by means of 133 figures and fifty nine tables; 36 of the figures include plates displaying one hundred seventy chosen images bought at varied scales of remark together with the sector, binocular microscope, skinny sections, transmission electron miscroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, excessive answer transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction. a topic index completes the book.
The info offered the following may help geologists build a clearer photograph of environmental and depositional background of rocks. it's going to entice sedimentologists drawn to the strategies during which, and the surroundings within which, clay minerals shape. Clay mineralogists will locate a lot priceless info on quite a few iron wealthy minerals, and geochemists drawn to the iron within the sea and people operating with sedimentary iron ores also will enjoy the book.

An Environmental historical past of the united kingdom Defence property, 1945 to the Present significantly examines the slow âgreeningâ of the MoD because it built regulations of army environmentalism. It comprises the histories of the ghost-villages created through compelled evictions, and charts the increase and fall of anti-military protest routine. It depicts heated confrontations, mass trespasses, and calls for for public entry along conservation paintings and coaching actions, situating the human histories of those websites inside their environmental historical past, and taking the reader at the back of the barbed twine within the first learn of its kind.
