So Shall You Reap: Farming and Crops in Human Affairs
Otto T. Solbrig , and Dorothy J. Solbrig Manufacturer: Island Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1559633085 |
Book Description
So Shall You Reap is a broad-gauged exploration of the intersections of farming and history. Beginning with the prehistorical era, Otto and Dorothy Solbrig describe the evolution of farming. When and how did people learn to irrigate, to fertilize, to rotate their crops - and why.
Along with its fundamental importance to history, farming has radically altered the physical world. Natural landscapes have been completely transformed to provide room for growth on a large scale of a few species of plants and even fewer species of domesticated animals. Agriculture has altered the earth's biosphere and changed its geosphere: The soil has been modified, forests have been felled, swamps have been drained, rivers have been dammed and diverted.
So Shall You Reap presents a fresh and informed perspective on how farming and the crops we grow have changed us and our environment. By understanding the nature of the origins and evolution of agriculture, we will be better prepared to anticipate what the future may hold in store, and what must be done to increase food production while minimizing environmental problems.

Nonlinear Magnetohydrodynamics (Cambridge Monographs on Plasma Physics)
Dieter Biskamp Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0521599180 |
Book Description
This book provides a self-contained introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), with emphasis on nonlinear processes. The book outlines the conventional aspects of MHD theory, magnetostatic equilibrium and linear stability theory. It concentrates on nonlinear theory, starting with the evolution and saturation of individual ideal and resistive instabilities, continuing with a detailed analysis of magnetic reconnection and concluding with a study of the most complex nonlinear behavior, that of MHD turbulence. The last chapters describe three important applications of the theory: disruptive processes in tokomaks, MHD effects in the reversed field pinch, and solar flares.

The High Energy Solar Corona: Waves, Eruptions, Particles (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Accessories:
ASIN: 354071569X |
Book Description
An outgrowth of a workshop held by the Community of European Solar Radio Astronomers (CESRA), this volume collects reviews on current research and perspectives on the variable solar corona: high-energy particles, large-scale disturbances such as mass ejections and waves, and radio diagnostics of the coronal plasma. Multiwavelength observations of the Sun with radio instruments and recent space missions are drawn on extensively, as well as input from neighbouring fields e.g. solar wind, Earth's bow shock. Recent developments are discussed alongside key developments in this rapidly evolving field.

Impact Spectropolarimetric Sensing (Physics of Atoms and Molecules)
S.A. Kazantsev , Natalia M. Firstova , and Alexander G. Petrashen Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0306458926 |
Book Description
The first presentation of the novel interdisciplinary optical remote sensing technique for various ionized diluted media, based on the collisional polarization of the spectoral emission. The aim of the book is to provide a methadology of the impact spectropolarimetic sensing of many solution of many practical diagnostic problems. The book consists of substantial theoretical parts, representing the quantum mechanical theory of the collisional polarization of atomic particles, description of the original impact polarization effects in ionized media, methodology and practical techniques of observation for a very illustrative astriphysical example of solar flares, results of spectopolarimetric sensing, based on the ground based observational data and estimates of the energy transport by fast particles to the upper chromosphere of the sun.

Observational Plasma Astrophysics: Five Years of Yohkoh and
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792349857 |
Book Description
Since its launch in 1991, the Yohkoh satellite has been returning unprecedented observations of solar flares and the dynamic solar corona. This book is a collection of papers presented at a meeting held in: Yoyogi, Tokyo, on the occasion of Yohkoh's fifth anniversary of operation. The papers constitute a summary of observations and results over the five years, including contributions based on data from Yohkoh's hard and soft X-ray telescopes and its spectrometer experiments. The five years of data, covering approximately one-half of a solar cycle, reveal a fresh perspective on solar science, with a new picture of solar flares and the active Sun emerging. Also, for the first time there are extensive results from Yohkoh observations of the Sun during the solar minimum period.

Particle Acceleration and Kinematics in Solar Flares: A Synthesis of Recent Observations and Theoretical Concepts
Markus J. Aschwanden Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402007256 |
Book Description
This book presents a synthesis of what we learned about particle acceleration and kinematics from recent solar flare observations with the Yohkoh, SoHO, TRACE, CGRO spacecraft and radio instruments over the last decade.
It deals with the topology of magnetic reconnection regions, discusses the geometry, small-scale dynamics, and electromagnetic fields of acceleration region in solar flares, provides a systematic description of the relativistic kinematics of particle acceleration, propagation, time-of-flight measurements, particle trapping, precipitation, and the resulting emissions in gamma rays, hard X-rays, and radio wavelengths.
It is the first monograph on these solar flare topics, written for the level of graduate students and researchers in the field of solar physics, astrophysics, and magnetospheric physics.
