Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits are
intimately related - involving erosion of rocks, generation of
sediment, and transport and deposition of sediment through various
Earth surface environments. These processes, and the landforms and
deposits that they generate, have a fundamental bearing on
engineering, environmental and public safety issues; on recovery of
economic resources; and on our understanding of Earth history. This
unique textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of
sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface processes,
landforms and sediment deposits in a comprehensive and integrated
way. It is the ideal resource for a two-semester course in
sedimentology, stratigraphy, geomorphology, and Earth surface
processes from the intermediate undergraduate to beginning graduate
level. The book is also accompanied by a website hosting
illustrations and material on field and laboratory methods for
measuring, describing and analyzing Earth surface processes,
landforms and sediments.
Originally published in 1978. The type of firm focused upon in this
study is the large manager-controlled business organisation,
although the analysis is not restricted to this kind of entity, as
firms of all shapes and sizes are finding it increasingly necessary
to plan, particularly in environments characterised by rapid
innovation and technological change. After an initial survey of
various growth theories, the book analyses the vehicles of growth
as well as the constraints, so that the process of growth is seen
in the context of corporate planning and also within the context of
planning in the economy as a whole. Some of the more important
contributions to the economic theory of business behaviour are
brought together and the implications of these works for
micro-economic theory and managerial economics are determined.
Particular emphasis is placed upon Marris's growth model, and the
theme of balanced growth - through the analysis of the
diversification and financial aspects of planning - is developed.
The planning process is also discussed within the public sector and
selected case studies of local authority defence and health
planning are examined.
The microscopic soil and plant nematodes that are parasitic on crop
plants can be very damaging, and are generally not visible to the
naked eye. Their microscopic size means that associating them with
crop damage is mainly dependent on determining the symptoms of
their effects on plants or plant growth. The damage and symptoms
caused can be visible above ground but, apart from poor growth and
yield of the plants, the specific nematode can only be seen below
the ground in the plant organs; mainly the roots, rhizomes, bulbs,
corms and tubers. This book aims to help people working
commercially with crop plants to identify and improve their
diagnosis of nematodes of agricultural importance. There is an
introductory chapter on nematode biology and parasitism, and the
crops they are likely to attack. Crop chapters are divided into
grain legumes, vegetables, flower crops, cereals, root and tuber
crops, and tree and plantation crops. Coverage includes
distribution, identification, symptoms and diagnosis, with
management suggestions also presented. A final chapter outlines
common methods used in nematology. This book is invaluable to a
range of professionals including growers, farmers and students
working in crop protection, plant pathology, and agriculture.

Covering all aspects of practical plant nematology in subtropical
and tropical agriculture, the third edition of this definitive
global reference work is fully revised and in full colour
throughout. It covers the presence, distribution, symptomology and
management of all economically important plant parasitic nematodes
damaging the world's major food and cash crops. This includes:
rice, cereals, solanum and sweet potatoes (and other root and tuber
crops), food legumes, vegetables, peanut, citrus, fruit tree crops,
coconut and other palms, coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas, sugarcane,
tobacco, pineapple, cotton, other tropical fibres, spices and
medicinal plants. New content for this edition includes: - A
chapter on nematode soil biodiversity and soil health. -
Reflections on the future impact of nematodes and nematology on
food security. - The importance of climate change, emerging
