This illustrated notebook highlights the need for a change of
paradigm in current flood management practices, one that
acknowledges the wide-ranging and interdisciplinary benefits
brought by public space design. Reassessing and improving
established flood management methods, public spaces are faced with
a new and enhanced role as mediators of flood adaptation able to
integrate infrastructure and communities together in the management
of flood water as an ultimate resource for urban resilience. The
book specifically introduces a path towards a new perspective on
flood adaptation through public space design, stressing the
importance of local, bottom up, approaches. Deriving from a
solution-directed investigation, which is particularly attentive to
design, the book offers a wide range of systematized conceptual
solutions of flood adaptation measures applicable in the design of
public spaces. Through a commonly used vocabulary and simple
technical notions, the book facilitates and accelerates the initial
brainstorm phases of a public space project with flood adaptation
capacities, enabling a direct application in contemporary practice.
Furthermore, it offers a significant sample of real-case examples
that may further assist the decision-making throughout design
processes. Overall, the book envisions to challenge established
professionals, such as engineers, architects or urban planners, to
work and design with uncertainty in an era of an unprecedented
climate.
This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary
gender and feminist geographies in an international and
multi-disciplinary context. It features 48 new contributions from
both experienced and emerging scholars, artists and activists who
critically review and appraise current spatial politics. Each
chapter advances the future development of feminist geography and
gender studies, as well as empirical evidence of changing
relationships between gender, power, place and space. Following an
introduction by the Editors, the handbook presents original work
organized into four parts which engage with relevant issues
including violence, resistance, agency and desire: Establishing
feminist geographies Placing feminist geographies Engaging feminist
geographies Doing feminist geographies The Routledge Handbook of
Gender and Feminist Geographies will be an essential reference work
for scholars interested in feminist geography, gender studies and
geographical thought.

Initially conceived as a travel book, the spell of Patagonia
carried the author along unexpected paths to experience intense
adventures, magic and mysteries. It goes right to the heart of the
history of the region and back to the origins and surprising
changes that Patagonia, that land that has captivated humanity so
much, has experienced. This work, a one of a kind, defies all
classification. With a narrative rhythm that seizes you and a
creativity that attempts to capture the spirit of Patagonia, Carlos
Alberto Borinelli presents the reader with this captivating world.
La bio-disponibilidad de fosforo esta determinada, por la capacidad
del suelo de proveerlo a la solucion con la velocidad y cantidad
necesaria para el normal abastecimiento de las plantas. Por ello,
en esta obra se tratan los procesos de adsorcion, desorcion de
fosforo su cinetica y termodinamica, en distintas condiciones de
suelo y manejo, en relacion con el rendimiento de los tres cultivos
mas importantes de la region pampeana Argentina: trigo, soja y
maiz. Se desarrolla en este estudio, un nuevo modelo que permite
explicar los procesos cineticos de adsorcion, desorcion y
determinar las multiples interacciones que existen entre ellos, las
propiedades de los suelos, la temperatura y el rendimiento de los
cultivos. Se presenta evidencia fehaciente, sobre la existencia de
al menos dos "pooles" de fosforo disponible de acuerdo a la energia
y las velocidades de sorcion y liberacion del nutriente, como asi
tambien sobre la importancia que posee la historia reciente de
fertilizacion fosfatada, sobre los parametros que determinan la
bio-disponibilidad de fosforo para los cultivos."
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced

occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor

The present volume originated in session A25b ('Current Approaches
to Collective Burials in the Late European Prehistory') of the XVII
World Congress of the International Union of the Prehistoric and
Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP), held in Burgos in September 2014.
Collective burials are quite a common feature in Prehistoric
Europe, with the gathering of multiple individuals in a shared
burial place occurring in different types of burial structures
(natural caves, megalithic structures, artificial caves,
corbelled-roof tombs, pits, etc.). Such features are generally
associated with communities along the agropastoralist transition
and fully agricultural societies of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic.
For a long time, human skeletal remains exhumed from collective
burials were dismissed as valuable sources of information, their
studies being limited mostly to morphological assessments and
subsequent classification in predefined 'races'. They currently
represent a starting point for diversified, often
interdisciplinary, research projects, allowing for a more accurate
reconstruction of funerary practices, as well as of
palaeobiological and environmental aspects, which are fundamental
for the understanding of populations in the Late Prehistory of
Europe and of the processes leading to the emergence of
agricultural societies in this part of the world. The articles in
this volume provide examples of different approaches currently
being developed on Prehistoric collective burials of southern
Europe, mostly focusing on case studies, but also including
contributions of a more methodological scope.
