Soil Mapping and Process Modeling for Sustainable Land Use
Management is the first reference to address the use of soil
mapping and modeling for sustainability from both a theoretical and
practical perspective. The use of more powerful statistical
techniques are increasing the accuracy of maps and reducing error
estimation, and this text provides the information necessary to
utilize the latest techniques, as well as their importance for land
use planning. Providing practical examples to help illustrate the
application of soil process modeling and maps, this reference is an
essential tool for professionals and students in soil science and
land management who want to bridge the gap between soil modeling
and sustainable land use planning.
From 1819 to 1914, governments in northern North America struggled
to deal with crime and criminals migrating across the
Canadian-American border. Limited by the power of territorial
sovereignty, officials were unable to simply retrieve fugitives and
refugees from foreign territory. Borderline Crime examines how law
reacted to the challenge of the border in British North America and
post-Confederation Canada. For nearly a century, officials ranging
from high court judges to local police officers embraced the ethos
of transnational enforcement of criminal law. By focusing on common
criminals, escaped slaves, and political refugees, Miller reveals a
period of legal genesis where both formal and informal legal
regimes were established across northern North America and around
the world to extradite and abduct fugitives. Miller also reveals
how the law remained confused, amorphous, and often ineffectual at
confronting the threat of the border to the rule of law. This
engrossing history will be of interest to legal, political, and
intellectual historians alike.
