It is a great pleasure to publish this book in celebration of the
88th birthday on March 3, 1971, of Dr. Yasu Kuno, a member of the
Japan Academy and Emeritus Professor of Nagoya University. This
celebrated scholar, who is not only respected by those under his
direction but who is also a great credit to the medical science of
Japan, is a pioneer in the field of physiological research on human
perspiration. The result of his life's work "The Physiology of
Human Perspiration" (Churchill, London, 1934), to which he devoted
all his energies, must be called a monumental work. This book has
won worldwide recognition as one of the most authoritative
references in this field. Following this work, in 1956, Dr. Kuno
published a supplementary volume which contains many of the results
of his later research, "Human Perspiration" (Charles C Thomas,
Springfield, Illinois). The beginning of his research in
perspiration goes back to 1922, when Dr. Kuno was a professor of
physiology at Manchuria Medical College. This was also the start in
Japan of systematic studies of physiology centering on the study of
the regulation of body temperature. Since then, while a professor
of physiology at Manchuria Medical College, Kyoto University,
Nagoya University and the Mie Prefectural Medical Col lege, and
even after cessation of his duties there, Dr.
An examination of ancient and contemporary submarine landslides and
their impact Landslides are common in every subaqueous geodynamic
context, from passive and active continental margins to oceanic and
continental intraplate settings. They pose significant threats to
both offshore and coastal areas due to their frequency, dimensions,
and terminal velocity, capacity to travel great distances, and
ability to generate potentially destructive tsunamis. Submarine
Landslides: Subaqueous Mass Transport Deposits from Outcrops to
Seismic Profiles examines the mechanisms, characteristics, and
impacts of submarine landslides. Volume highlights include: Use of
different methodological approaches, from geophysics to field-based
geology Data on submarine landslide deposits at various scales
Worldwide collection of case studies from on- and off-shore
Potential risks to human society and infrastructure Impacts on the
hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere
