Magill's Encyclopedia of Science: Plant Life

Salem Press, 2003

Magill’s Encyclopedia of Science: Plant Life is designed to meet the needs of college and high school students as well as nonspecialists seeking general information about botany and related sciences. The definition of “plant life” is quite broad, covering the range from molecular to macro topics: the basics of cell structure...

Science in the Age of Computer Simulation

University of Chicago Press, 2010

Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II, but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, high-energy physics, climate science, engineering, ecology, and economics. Digital computer...

Groundwater in the Environment: An Introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

This accessible new textbook provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of groundwater systems and their management. Using straightforward language and analogies to everyday experiences, it explains the origins, nature, and behavior of subsurface water without resorting to complicated mathematics.

Introduction to MATLAB with Numerical Preliminaries

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

MATLAB is an abbreviation for MATrix LABoratory and it is ideally suited for computations involving matrices. Since all of the sciences routinely collect data in the form of (spreadsheet) matrices, MATLAB turns out to be particularly suitable for the analysis of mathematical problems in an assortment of fields. MATLAB is very easy to...

Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice

CRC Press, 2005

Although our planet is characterized by water, the extent to which water in its frozen state plays a role in the functioning of the Earth is perhaps underappreciated. Snow and ice cover about a sixth of the Earth’s surface, as snow lying on the ground, as glaciers and larger masses of terrestrial ice, including the huge...

Models in Spatial Analysis (ISTE)

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

This book offers a relatively large overview of modeling families which exist in spatial analysis and of the different mindsets that went into them. Models presented are related to space organization principles, localization logic, the form of spatial interactions1 and their role in space dynamics. The expertise of the authors is...

Ecosystem Engineers, Volume 4: Plants to Protists (Theoretical Ecology Series)

Academic Press, 2007

The purpose of this collection is to present some of the diversity of ideas and studies about species that can be classifi ed as “ecosystem engineers.” As with any developing concept, we fi nd disagreement about the meaning and usefulness of this term in the literature and among ourselves. The idea for the book...

Bayesian Networks: A Practical Guide to Applications (Statistics in Practice)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Bayesian Networks, the result of the convergence of artificial intelligence with statistics, are growing in popularity. Their versatility and modelling power is now employed across a variety of fields for the purposes of analysis, simulation, prediction and diagnosis.

This book provides a general introduction to Bayesian networks,...

Encyclopedia of Science and Religion (MacMillan Reference USA)

Macmillan Technical, 2003

The publication of the Encyclopedia of Science and Religion is a significant milestone marking the maturation of the contemporary dialogue between the sciences and religions. Not only does this Encyclopedia offer a massive amount of interdisciplinary and interreligious information, but it mirrors one of the most fascinating...

Handbook of Graphs and Networks

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Complex interacting networks are observed in systems from such diverse areas as physics, biology, economics, ecology, and computer science. For example, economic or social interactions often organize themselves in complex network structures. Similar phenomena are observed in traffic flow and in communication networks as the internet. In...

Fundamentals of Geobiology

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

2012 PROSE Award, Earth Science: Honorable Mention

For more than fifty years scientists have been concerned with the interrelationships of Earth and life. Over the past decade, however, geobiology, the name given to this interdisciplinary endeavour, has emerged as an exciting and rapidly expanding field,...
