For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

Globalization and Responsibility

The book "Globalization and Responsibility" consists of 8 chapters. The chapters in the book offer a decentered and dynamic terminology. They show that globalization consists of not only an objective process, but also of a lot of statements that define, describe and analyze the different experiences of the process. The chapters are written by authors and researchers from different academic disciplines, cultures and social contexts, therefore different experiences and scientific analyses on the consequences of globalization have been unified, starting from the multicultural and social epistemology to ethics of responsibility. Each chapter can be read separately, but in a complex, interconnected global universe of intertextuality of our world.

Most scientists and researchers working in tropical areas are convinced that parks and protected areas are the only real hope for saving land and biodiversity in those regions. Rather than giving up on parks that are foundering, ways must be found to strengthen them, and Making Parks Work offers a vital contribution to that effort. Focusing on the "good news" -- success stories from the front lines and what lessons can be taken from those stories -- the book gathers experiences and information from thirty leading conservationists into a guidebook of principles for effective management of protected areas. The book: offers a general overview of the status of protected areas worldwide presents case studies from Africa, Latin America, and Asia written by field researchers with long experience working in those areas analyzes a variety of problems that parks face and suggests policies and practices for coping with those problems explores the broad philosophical questions of conservation and how protected areas can -- and must -- resist the mounting pressures of an overcrowded world Contributors include Mario Boza, Katrina Brandon, K. Ullas Karanth, Randall Kramer, Jeff Langholz, John F. Oates, Carlos A. Peres, Herman Rijksen, Nick Salafsky, Thomas T. Struhsaker, Patricia C. Wright, and others.

Este libro aborda aspectos y conceptos útiles para la investigación en turismo y busca profundizar la comprensión del fenómeno turístico. En la actualidad, el desarrollo metodológico de las ciencias sociales ha aumentado la capacidad de análisis de datos en todos los órdenes del quehacer social, incluido el turismo, que ha avanzado en el uso de herramientas de investigación empírica y en la transformación de sus lecturas en acciones concretas. Instrumentos como los censos, registros o sondeos, aumentan la capacidad de percepción de los fenómenos humanos y permiten un mejor análisis del desarrollo del turismo en el mundo actual. En este contexto, este libro expone algunas visiones, conceptualizaciones y metodologías de investigación social aplicadas al turismo, abordando la medición de su impacto social y económico. A la vez, indaga en aspectos vinculados con la investigación de los mercados y la aplicación de conceptos de la teoría de la información a los estudios relacionados con el turismo. Del mismo modo, analiza la difícil y laboriosa construcción de definiciones, indicadores y operacionalizaciones de conceptos para la investigación empírica del turismo y expone aplicaciones, explicaciones y ejercicios orientados a problemas reales, como la relación entre la pobreza y el turismo, la estacionalidad, la creación de empleo en el sector, y otros. Se busca, así, integrar estos análisis empíricos a teorías más generales y abarcativas. Al mismo tiempo ofrece material bibliográfico y referencias, a modo de hipertextos, para la profundización de estos temas. En distintos ámbitos de gestión y decisión, se hace imprescindible conocer y aplicar herramientas y recursos de investigación; por ello, este texto busca orientar en este sentido y, al mismo tiempo, ser un instrumento útil en el desarrollo de cursos y consultorías e investigación en el sector, enriqueciendo la investigación y la comprensión del maravilloso mundo del turismo.

The Eighth edition incorporates several important recent developments in the field, including genetics and genomics and the biological underpinnings of impulsiveness"--Back cover
