The interaction of the lithosphere and hydrosphere sets the
boundary conditions for life, as water and the nutrients extracted
from rocks are essential to all known life-forms. Water-rock
interaction also affects the fate and transport of pollutants,
mediates the long-term cycling of fluids and metals in the earth's
crust, impacts the migration and storage of hydrocarbons in
sedimentary basins, contributes to the carving and evolution of
landscapes, and affects the evolution of geothermal and volcanic
activity. At the longest timescales, water-rock interaction draws
down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and impacts climatic
evolution. Several tools have contributed over the last decades to
our growing understanding of water-rock interaction. For example,
new uses of isotopes have led to novel interpretations of the
evolution of fluid and rock chemistry over time. New modelling
techniques have allowed elucidation of multi-component reactive
transport at all temperatures and depths in the crust, while new
microscopic and spectroscopic techniques have been used to
investigate mineral surfaces and nanophases in environmental
systems. New tools from molecular biology are now probing
micro-organisms living at depth and at the surface of the Earth. In
addition, field investigations measure ongoing water-rock
interaction in modern day systems, allowing comparison to such
interactions documented in the geological record. The 334 papers
published in Volumes 1 and 2 of these Proceedings summarize current
research from around the world on the broad area of water-rock
interactions. These research results are of broad interest to
students and professionals in geochemistry, hydrology, geology,
environmental microbiology, vulcanology, and water chemistry
studying both the fundamental and applied aspects of energy and
natural resources.
As the links between health and food additives come under
increasing scrutiny, there is a growing demand for food containing
natural rather than synthetic additives and ingredients. Natural
food additives, ingredients and flavourings reviews the legislative
issues relating to natural food additives and ingredients, the
range of natural food additives and ingredients, and their
applications in different product sectors.
After an exploration of what the term natural means in the context
of food ingredients, part one focuses on natural food colourings,
low-calorie sweeteners and flavour enhancers, followed by a
consideration of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials as food
ingredients. The book goes on to review clean label starches and
proteins, the application of natural hydrocolloids as well as
natural aroma chemicals and flavourings from biotechnology and
green chemistry. Part two considers specific applications in
different products. Natural ingredients in savoury food products,
baked goods and alcoholic drinks are examined, as are natural plant
extracts in soft drinks and milk-based food ingredients.
With is distinguished editors and expert team of international
contributors, Natural food additives, ingredients and flavourings
is an invaluable reference tool for all those involved in the
development and production of foods with fewer synthetic additives
and ingredients.

Shelley Seale and Keith Hajovsky are self-professed world nomads,
who travel just about any time and place they have the opportunity
- and usually for free, or very close to it. Between the two of
them, they have visited more than 60 countries and logged millions
of miles. In this updated 2nd edition of their book, they add even
more resources, methods and examples to share their own personal
tactics for doing this - showing you ways in which you can travel
not just cheaply, but for free - or pretty damn close to it Are you
tired of the conventional wisdom which says that you have to spend
a lot of money to travel the world? Do you want to learn how two
well-traveled vagabonds have managed to do it for decades, as well
as the travel-cheap insights they have accumulated over many years
of gallivanting around the globe? There are many travel resources
and guidebooks out there that tell you how to travel on the cheap,
how to save money, how to get the best airfares. The authors have
read and used many of them, and there are lots of good ones around.
How To Travel For Free (or pretty damn near it ) is different in
that in these pages, Seale and Hajovsky share their own personal
resources and experiences, and have the examples and detailed
how-to that backs it up; along with tried-and-true testimonials
from other travelers who have used their methods. If you or someone
you know wants to learn how to see and experience the world without
the need to have or to spend large amounts of money like so many in
the travel industry will have you believe, then buy this book now
and start your own personal journey toward your dreams of
independent travel freedom
