Biochar for Environmental Management
Author: Dr. Johannes LehmannPublisher: Earthscan
ISBN: 1849770557
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
"Biochar is the carbon-rich product when biomass (such as wood, manure, or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways, and its stability in soil and superior nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this, biochar sequestration, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the use of the gases that are given off in the pyrolysis process.This book is the first to synthesize the expanding research literature on this topic. The book's interdisciplinary approach, which covers engineering, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, economics and policy, is a vital tool at this stage of biochar technology development. This comprehensive overview of current knowledge will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and professionals in a wide range of disciplines"--Provided by publisher.

New York Times Book Review • Notable Book of the Year Washington Post • 50 Notable Works of Nonfiction in 2019 NPR.org • NPR 2019 Concierge Slate • 10 Best Books of the Year Chicago Tribune • Best Books of the Year Publishers Weekly • 10 Best Books of the Year Audience of One reframes America’s identity through the rattled mind of an insomniac, cable-news-junkie president.New York Times chief television critic James Poniewozik offers a “darkly entertaining” (Carlos Lozada, Washington Post) history of mass media from the early 1980s to today, demonstrating how a volcanic, camera-hogging antihero merged with America’s most powerful medium to become our forty-fifth president. In charting the seismic evolution of television from a monolithic mass medium into today’s fractious confederation of spite-and-insult media subcultures, Poniewozik reveals how Donald Trump took advantage of these historic changes by constantly reinventing himself: from a boastful cartoon zillionaire; to 1990s self-parodic sitcom fixture; to The Apprentice reality-TV star; and finally to Twitter-mad, culture-warring demagogue. Already lauded as a “brilliant and daring” (Annalisa Quinn, NPR) work that defines a generation, Audience of One emerges as a classic in cultural criticism.

Les collaborateurs identifient certains critères importants pour l'évaluation de la situation actuelle et future dans le domaine du logement, précisent les questions et priorités de la recherche en matière de logement et signalent certaines questions de politique qui se dessinent. Les articles sont répartis en six sections: facteurs économiques, démographiques et institutionnels sous-jacents à la demande de logements au cours de la période de l'après-guerre; principaux aspects de l'offre de logements, et notamment financement, technologie et réglementation; croissance du parc immobilier et modifications de la qualité des logements; équilibre entre l'offre et la demande compte tenu de ce qui est suffisant, convenable et abordable; évolution de l'environnement des lieux habités; leçons, défis et questions pour l'avenir. L'ouvrage contient également certains résumés utiles des mesures prises entre 1945 et 1986 en matière de politiques de logement. Document de référence essentiel sur le logement urbain et le développement des villes au cours de la période d'après-guerre au Canada, Habitations et milieu de vie sera apprécié des universitaires, des planificateurs, des professionnels et des étudiants qui s'intéressent aux questions de logement.
