Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

The transition in anthropological and biomedical research methods over the past 50 years from anthropometric and craniometric measurements to large-scale microarray genetic studies has resulted in continued revision of opinions and ideas relating to the factors and forces that drive human variation. Human Variation:From the Laboratory to the Field brings together the contributions of 22 scientists working in four continents to identify and address challenges imposed by variability. It reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation paying specific attention to genetics growth and development and physiology. In presenting new evidence and findings it also discusses current developments in methodology and analytical techniques detailing both field and laboratory approaches and looking at how the two perspectives complement each other. In bridging that gap between laboratory trials and studies of the human in context this book covers a number of interesting research areas including — Human adaptation to natural and artificial light including variations in circadian photosensitivity and effects of light on GI activity Cold tolerance and lifestyle in modern society Genetics of body weight and obesity Human adaptability to emotional and intellectual mental stresses Geography migration climate and environmental plasticity as contributors to human variation Impact of natural environmental stressors including pollution on physiological and morphological processes This book is the latest volume in a series of works from the Society for the Study of Human Biology (SSHB) which for half a century has advanced and promoted research in the biology of human populations in all of its branches including human viability genetics human adaptability and ecology and evolution. It holds two scientific meetings a year. This volume represents work presented during its most recent gathering. | Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

The Art of Investigation Revisited: Practical Tips from the Experts examines the qual- ities required to be a professional thorough and effective investigator and is a follow up to the authors’ highly touted book The Art of Investigation (2019). This book features a wholly new line-up of investigators experienced professionals in the field who delve into the soft skills that make an investigator effective. Each chapter examines a specific quality required to be a professional thorough and—most importantly—successful in this challenging discipline. The editors and contributing authors are all top in their field and bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience to the subject. While several publications exist on the procedures and steps of an investigation few books cover the creative and intuitive skills required. Such traits are necessary to continually question in the face of investigative roadblocks unique qualities endemic to an inquisitive mind that can be trained to improve an investigator’s professional skill set. Each chapter discusses the applicability of the traits and requirements to the contributor’s own work and experience as an investigator. In doing so the contributors will provide valuable stories from their personal experience which demonstrates their use or a given trait and its importance in the course of their investigative work and career. The case examples included throughout are engaging and as is often the case surprising. An investigator must keep an open mind above all else and this book seeks to lift the veil on the inner workings of an investigation and the thought pro- cess and inner monologue of an investigator as part of that process. The book is a welcome addition to any investigator’s toolkit and is also of interest to students in criminal justice security and Homeland Security programs security consultants corporate and private security professionals and the legal community. | The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

The history of mining is replete with controversy of which much is related to environmental damage and consequent community outrage. Over recent decades this has led to increased pressure to improve the environmental and social performance of mining operations particularly in developing countries. The industry has responded by embracing the ideals of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Mining and the Environment identifies and discusses the wide range of social and environmental issues pertaining to mining with particular reference to mining in developing countries from where many of the project examples and case studies have been selected. Following an introductory overview of pressing issues the book illustrates how environmental and social impact assessment such as defined in The Equator Principles integrates with the mining lifecycle and how environmental and social management aims to eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive mining impacts. Practical approaches are provided for managing issues ranging from land acquisition and resettlement of Indigenous peoples to the technical aspects of acid rock drainage and mine waste management. Moreover thorough analyses of ways and means of sharing non-transitory mining benefits with host communities are presented to allow mining to provide sustainable benefits for the affected communities. This second edition of Mining and the Environment includes new chapters on Health Impact Assessment Biodiversity and Gender Issues all of which have become more important since the first edition appeared a decade ago. The wide coverage of issues and the many real-life case studies make this practice-oriented book a reference and key reading. It is intended for environmental consultants engineers regulators and operators in the field and for students to use as a course textbook. As much of the matter applies to the extractive industries as a whole it will also serve environmental professionals in the oil and gas industries. Karlheinz Spitz and John Trudinger both have multiple years of experience in the assessment of mining projects around the world. The combination of their expertise and knowledge about social economic and environmental performance of mining and mine waste management has resulted in this in-depth coverage of the requirements for responsible and sustainable mining. | Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

Infrared Astronomy – Seeing the Heat from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory

Uncover the Secrets of the Universe Hidden at Wavelengths beyond Our Optical Gaze William Herschel’s discovery of infrared light in 1800 led to the development of astronomy at wavelengths other than the optical. Infrared Astronomy – Seeing the Heat: from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory explores the work in astronomy that relies on observations in the infrared. Author David L. Clements a distinguished academic and science fiction writer delves into how the universe works from the planets in our own Solar System to the universe as a whole. The book first presents the major telescopes in the world of observational infrared astronomy explains how infrared light is detected through various kinds of telescopes and describes practical problems that send infrared astronomers to the tops of mountains and their telescopes into orbit and beyond. Much of the book focuses on what infrared astronomers find in their observations. You’ll discover what infrared astronomy reveals about the planets moons and other bodies that constitute our Solar System; star formation and stellar evolution; the processes that shape galaxies; and dark energy and dark matter. Infrared astronomy has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and has become essential in studying cosmology. Accessible to amateur astronomers this book presents an overview of the science and technology associated with infrared astronomy. With color figures it shows you how infrared astronomy provides insights into the workings of the universe that are unavailable at other wavelengths. | Infrared Astronomy – Seeing the Heat from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory
