    Content: Land degradation in drylands is a multi-faceted problem. Consequently, current management approaches that attempt to mitigate such land degradation often fail to produce significant improvements. The processes associated with land degradation in drylands fall at the interface of ecology and geomorphology. For a better understanding of this degradation, there is a need to uncover the underlying dynamics and characteristic responses to environmental drivers and human-induced disturbances. A primary characteristic of this land degradation is a change in processes and the emergence of patterns; but there remain many unknowns as to how these changing processes and emerging patterns are connected. In the first section of this keystone manual, the theory of ecogeomorphic pattern-process linkages is explored, establishing an integrated view of current concepts of pattern emergence and self-organization from an ecogeomorphic perspective.  The second section of the book explores methods for confronting models with data for the study of pattern-process linkages, bringing together divergent empirical and modelling methodologies to provide a fully integrated understanding of land degradation in drylands. Four case studies from drylands in Europe, Africa, Australia and North America outline the advances in ecogeomorphic research that have been made in these systems. Learning from this diverse range of studies and approaches, a research agenda for the emerging field of ecogeomorphology in land-degradation studies in drylands is set forth.

    Content: Simulation models are increasingly used to investigate processes and solve practical problems in a wide variety of disciplines. Central to the concept of this book is the idea that environmental systems are complex, open systems. The approach that the authors take is to present the diversity of approaches to dealing with environmental complexity and to encourage readers to make comparisons between these approaches and between different disciplines. Now thoroughly revised and updated the second edition of this successful and well respected text book is an indispensible aid to all Environmental scientists.

    Content: The Times (Obituaries, 4 August 2008) reported that "John Thornes was one of the most eminent and influential physical geographers of his generation." John's keen interest in understanding landform processes and evolution was furthered through a variety of methods and informed across a range of disciplinary boundaries. In particular he pushed for better integration of monitoring, theoretical and simulation modelling, field and laboratory experimentation and remote sensing techniques. Although dominated by an interest in the Mediterranean region and problems of land degradation, his research a.

    Content: Vor der schwülen Kulisse Puerto Ricos macht der reiche Anwalt Henry Hearst (Gene Hackmann) einen grausamen Fund ? die Leiche eines jungen Mädchens. Seine widersprüchlichen Aussagen lassen Polizeidetektiv Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman) vermuten, Hearst selbst könnte der Mörder und Vergewaltigter sein. Es kommt zu einem Verhör, in dem immer tiefere Abgründe der Psyche beider Beteiligten frei gelegt werden - ein intelligentes Duell zweier knallharter Charaktere aus dem nur einer als Sieger hervorgehen kann. Da erscheint Hearsts bildhübsche und junge Frau Chantal (Monica Bellucci) auf dem Revier, und Benezet ahnt, sie wird sein letzter Trumpf sein (Splendid Film)
