Agrometeorology in Extreme Events and Natural Disasters

Agrometeorology in Extreme Events and Natural Disasters

Despite the current technological advancement agriculture is still a vital source of livelihood. It is essentially dependent on weather and climate and adversely affected by extreme events in this respect. Over the past few decades extreme events such as droughts floods storms tropical cyclones and forest fires have destroyed economic and social infrastructure and at the same time endangered food security. The agricultural sector is affected through the impact on water resources damage to crops rangelands and forests due to incidence of droughts locust plagues and wildland fires. While natural hazards may not be avoided the integration of risk assessment and early warnings with prevention and mitigation measures can prevent them from becoming disasters. Improved forecast accuracy and mroe focused information on the location intensity and duration of climate extremes could underpin efforts to implement more effective risk management strategies. This book based on state of the art knowledge on the science and application of agricultural meteorology needed to better cope with extreme climate events should be of interest to all organizations and agencies engaged in planning disaster reduction strategies and mitigation of extreme events. | Agrometeorology in Extreme Events and Natural Disasters

Extreme Sustainability Rhetoric and Sustainable Development

Extreme Sustainability Rhetoric and Sustainable Development

This book considers the nature causes and consequences of extreme pro- and anti-sustainability rhetoric exploring how and why the expressions of radical views on sustainability-related themes may prevent real sustainable development. Following a thorough introduction on sustainability rhetoric on dialogue and on the role played by ideologies in the building of environmental beliefs Fracarolli Nunes and Lee Park examine positions and statements expressed or made by individuals companies governments and NGOs in the last decades. The outcomes of these considerations lead to the classification of expressions in different categories of sustainability rhetoric laying the groundwork for the development of a ‘sustainability spectrum’: a metric for the level of radicalization of sustainability positions which ranges from apocalyptic views to ultimate denial. Through the combination of historical perspectives theoretical frameworks and conceptual developments this book provides a foundation for a more informed and productive dialogue between radically opposing views on sustainability issues. This volume will be of great interest to students scholars and practitioners researching and working in the areas of environmental communication and media environmental politics and sustainable development. | Extreme Sustainability Rhetoric and Sustainable Development

Misers British Responses to Extreme Saving 1700–1860

Misers British Responses to Extreme Saving 1700–1860

This volume uses the extreme case of misers to examine interlocking categories that undergirded the emergence of modern British society including new perspectives on charity morality and marriage; new representations of passion and sympathy; and new modes of saving spending and investment. Misers surveys this class of people—as invented and interpreted in sermons poems novels and plays; analyzed by economists and philosophers; and profiled in obituaries and biographies—to explore how British attitudes about saving money shifted between 1700 and 1860. As opposed to the century before the nineteenth century witnessed a new appreciation for misers as economists credited them with adding to the nation's stock of capital and novelists newly imagined their capacity to empathize with fellow human beings. These characters shared the spotlight with real people who posthumously donned that label populating into a cottage industry of miser biographies by the 1850s. By the time A Christmas Carol appeared in 1843 many Victorians had come to embrace misers as links that connected one generation’s extreme saving with the next generation’s virtuous spending. With a broad chronological period this volume is useful for students and scholars interested in representation of misers in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain. | Misers British Responses to Extreme Saving 1700–1860

Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

This book describes the ultra-short laser–matter interactions from the subtle atomic motion to the generation of extreme pressures inside the bulk of a transparent crystal. It is the successor to Femtosecond Laser–Matter Interactions: Theory Experiment and Applications (2011). Explanation and experimental verification of the exceptional technique for the phase transformations under high pressure are in the core of the book. The novel phase formation occurs along the unique solid-plasmasolid transformation path: the memory of the initial state is lost after conversion to plasma. New phase forms from chaos during the cooling to the ambient. The pressure-affected material remains detained inside a pristine crystal at the laboratory tabletop. Unique super-dense aluminium and new phases of silicon were created by the confined micro-explosions. The text also describes the recent studies that used the quasi-non-diffracting Bessel beams. The applications comprise the new high-pressure material formation and micromachining. The book is an appealing source for readers interested in the cutting-edge research exploring extreme conditions and creating nanostructures at the laboratory tabletop. | Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density
