Content: This book takes an in-depth look at the theory and methods inherent in the tracing of riverine sediments.  Examined tracers include multi-elemental concentration data, fallout radionuclides (e.g., 210Pb, 137Cs, 7Be), radiogenic isotopes (particularly those of Pb, Sr, and Nd), and novel (“non-traditional”) stable isotopes (e.g., Cd, Cu, Hg, and Zn), the latter of which owe their application to recent advances in analytical chemistry. The intended goal is not to replace more ‘traditional’ analyses of the riverine sediment system, but to show how tracer/fingerprinting studies can be used to gain insights into system functions that would not otherwise be possible. The text, then, provides researchers and catchment managers with a summary of the strengths and limitations of the examined techniques in terms of their temporal and spatial resolution, data requirements, and the uncertainties in the generated results. The use of environmental tracers has increased significantly during the past decade because it has become clear that documentation of sediment and sediment-associated contaminant provenance and dispersal is essential to mitigate their potentially harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, the use of monitoring programs to determine the source of sediments to a water body has proven to be a costly, labor intensive, long-term process with a spatial resolution that is limited by the number of monitoring sites that can be effectively maintained. Alternative approaches, including the identification and analysis of eroded upland areas and the use of distributed modeling routines also have proven problematic. The application of tracers within riverine environments has evolved such that they focus on sediments from two general sources: upland areas and specific, localized, anthropogenic point sources. Of particular importance to the former is the development of geochemical fingerprinting methods that quantify sediment provenance (and to a much lesser degree, sediment-associated contaminants) at the catchment scale. These methods have largely developed independently of the use of tracers to document the source and dispersal pathways of contaminated particles from point-sources of anthropogenic pollution at the reach- to river corridor-scale. Future studies are likely to begin merging the strengths of both approaches while relying on multiple tracer types to address management and regulatory issues, particularly within the context of the rapidly developing field of environmental forensics.

Content: "'The handbook of cancer control and behavioral science: A resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers' is an authoritative synthesis of what is known, what is suspected, and what is still unknown about the core behavioral and sociocultural aspects of cancer control. Editors Suzanne M. Miller, Deborah J. Bowen, Robert T. Croyle, and Julia H. Rowland provide an overview of the key areas of behavioral research in cancer, including cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Future directions for research also receive extensive coverage. Distinguished researchers provide jargon-free descriptions of cutting-edge behavioral intervention approaches, as well as the research findings and theoretical models that support their effectiveness. In addition to the focus on cancer patients, the effects of cancer on families are also reviewed. In its broad scope and detailed examination of the entire continuum of cancer care, the handbook is a cross-disciplinary resource that will be useful to researchers, health care providers, and mental health professionals in the fight against cancer"--Jacket.
