When it first appeared in the 1970s, The Little Red Schoolbook was
banned by the UK authorities, which confiscated copies and
prosecuted the publisher under the Obscene Publications Act. Why?
Because this little book aimed to educate teenagers about
democracy, sex and drugs - in frank, simple language - and
encouraged them to view adults as "paper tigers". The Little Red
Schoolbook has been unavailable for more than 40 years, but it
remains surprisingly relevant for young people today. Reissued here
in its original and uncensored format, with informative footnotes
and a new foreword by the surviving author Soren Hansen, it
encourages teenagers to have the confidence to seek information for
themselves, challenge authority and question the status quo.
Good management practices for carbon and nitrogen are vital to crop
productivity and soil sustainability, as well as to the reduction
of global greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. Since the
1950's, mathematical models have advanced our understanding of
carbon and nitrogen cycling at both the micro- and macro-scales.
However, many of the models are scattered in the literature,
undergo constant modification, and similar models can have
different names. Modeling Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics for Soil
Management clarifies the confusion by presenting a systematic
summary of the various models available. It provides information
about strengths and weaknesses, level of complexity, easiness of
use, and application range of each model. In nineteen chapters,
internationally known model developers and users update you on the
current status and future direction of carbon and nitrogen
modeling. The book's coverage ranges from theoretical comparison of
models to application of models to soil management problems, from
laboratory applications to field and watershed scale applications,
from short-term simulation to long-term prediction, and from
DOS-based computer programs to Object-Oriented and Graphical
Interface designs. With this broad scope, Modeling Carbon and
Nitrogen Dynamics for Soil Management provides the tools to manage
complex carbon/nitrogen processes effectively.
