Zusatztext Nach 50 Jahren des Schweigens wagt sich Raya Kruk! Überlebende des Ghettosvon Kowno! an die schmerzliche Arbeit des Erinnerns. Eindrucksvoll schildertsie ihre Erlebnisse und die ihrer Leidensgenossinnen während des Ghettoaufenthaltes.Begleitet werden die Geschichten von authentischen Fotografien! die einMitüberlebender mit einer versteckten Kamera machte. Diese äußerst eindringlichenBilder geben einen schonungslosen Einblick in das Ghettoleben. Informationen zum Autor Derek R. Ford is Assistant Professor of Education Studies at DePauw University, USA. He is the author of multiple books. Paul D. Williams is the author of Karst Hydrogeology and Geomorphology , published by Wiley. Klappentext Karst Hydrogeology and Geomorphology is a fully revised and updated version of the extensively used and widely cited Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology published in 1989. This systems orientated book is based on the authors' own teaching, research, consulting and international experience and includes wide international citations and illustrationsThis edition features a stronger emphasis on karst hydrogeology, applied aspects of karst and practical problems of karst as well as computer modelling. New developments in the field such as ground penetrating radar, cosmogenic exposure age dating and mass spectrometer techniques are evaluatedThe book provides a comprehensive sequenced discussion covering the significant features of karst rocks, the chemistry and kinetics of their dissolution, regional dissolution and carbon sequestration rates as well as fundamentals of hydrogeology with emphasis on the distinctive triple porosity of karst aquifers, cavern genesis, modelling of karst aquifers, the nature and palaeo-environmental importance of cave deposits, karst landforms at the surface, palaeokarst, applied karst problems, sustainable management and conservation of karst resources.Karst Hydrogeology and Geomorphology is an invaluable reference for students of karst studies, karst geomorphology and groundwater hydrogeology as well as hydrogeologists, geomorphologists and civil engineers practicing in regions with karst rocks. Zusammenfassung Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated. The first half of the book is a systematic presentation of the dissolution kinetics, chemical equilibria and physical flow laws relating to karst environments.
