In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
Bibliographic Guide to Latin American Studies

Pages : 637
Book Description
Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting management goals. Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second Edition documents recent research and practice in these areas. Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment transport and commonly used statistical methods such as flow duration and flood frequency analysis. Methods are presented from engineering hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and hydraulics with examples of their biological implications. This book demonstrates how these fields are linked and utilised in modern, scientific river management. * Emphasis on applications, from collecting and analysing field measurements to using data and tools in stream management. * Updated to include new sections on environmental flows, rehabilitation, measuring stream health and stream classification. * Critical reviews of the successes and failures of implementation. * Revised and updated windows-based AQUAPAK software. This book is essential reading for 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and postgraduates of hydrology, stream ecology and fisheries science in Departments of Physical Geography, Biology, Environmental Science, Landscape Ecology, Environmental Engineering and Limnology. It would be valuable reading for professionals working in stream ecology, fisheries science and habitat management, environmental consultants and engineers.

ISBN: 303036643X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Migrant and seasonal farmworkers are largely Latinx men, women, and children. They work in crop, dairy, and livestock production, and are essential to the U.S. agricultural economy—one of the most hazardous and least regulated industries in the United States. Latinx migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the eastern United States experience high rates of illness, injury, and death, indicating widespread occupational injustice. This second edition takes a social justice stance and integrates the past ten years of research and intervention to address health, safety, and justice issues for farmworkers. Contributors cover all major areas of health and safety research for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families, explore the factors that affect the health and safety of farmworkers and their families, and suggest approaches for further research and educational and policy intervention needed to improve the health and safety of Latinx farmworkers and their families. Among the chapter topics are: Occupational injury and illness in Latinx farmworkers in the eastern United States Mental health among Latinx farmworkers in the eastern United States The health of women farmworkers and women in farmworker families in the eastern United States The health of children in the Latinx farmworker community in the eastern United States Community-based participatory research with Latinx farmworker communities in the eastern United States Farm labor and the struggle for justice in the eastern United States Accessibly written and comprehensive in its scope, this second edition of Latinx Farmworkers in the Eastern United States: Health, Safety, and Justice will find an engaged audience among researchers, students, and practitioners in public health, occupational health, public policy, and social and behavioral sciences, as well as labor advocates and healthcare providers.

Book Description
Summitville is a mine site located at 11,500 feet elevation in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, USA. Mined intermittently for gold & cooper from 1870, the mine was abandoned due to bankruptcy in 1992. Remaining was a 10 million ton heap leach pad fully loaded with cyanide, 15 million tons of sulfide-rich waste rock, a draining mine adit & 550 acres of disturbed earth. Releases of acidic, metal-laden drainage prior to the bankruptcy are blamed for damage to a trout fishery downstream. Today the mine is a Superfund site being managed by the US Environmental Protection Agency. THE PROCEEDINGS range in content from geochemistry to agriculture. Its diverse studies include water chemistry, metal uptake by soils, plants, livestock & wetlands, airborne imaging spectroscopy, ore deposit geology, sediment-water metal flux, mine engineering, groundwater hydrology, water treatment technologies including biotreatment & legal assessments of the Superfund process. The volume should be useful to scientists & engineers in earth, environmental & mining sciences & to attorneys & public policy analysts. The studies, all original, were conducted mainly by the US Geological Survey, US Environmental Protection Agency & Colorado State University. This book would serve well as an environmental science text or case study for an upper level undergraduate or graduate level course.
