Floodplain Formation

Summary

Floodplain Formation explores the creation and evolution of floodplains, the fertile lands bordering rivers, emphasizing their ecological and human significance. Delving into fluvial geomorphology and hydrology, the book reveals how sediment transport and river dynamics shape these landscapes. Intriguingly, floodplains support disproportionately high biodiversity and provide critical ecosystem services like floodwater storage. For millennia, human societies have relied on floodplains for agriculture, yet this interaction also brings challenges like increased flood risk. The book systematically progresses from basic concepts of river dynamics to examining specific floodplain formation processes, such as overbank flooding. It then explores ecological functions, human impacts, and sustainable management strategies. By integrating diverse data sources, it links floodplain dynamics to broader environmental challenges, like climate change, and considers human impact through agriculture, urbanization, and flood control structures. This approach provides a holistic understanding essential for anyone interested in the Earth Sciences and sustainable management of these vital environments.

The Man Who Stalked Einstein -...

Bruce J. Hillman, Birgit...

By the end of World War I, Albert Einstein had become the face of the new science of theoretical physics and had made some powerful enemies. One of those enemies, Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, spent a career trying to discredit him. Their story of conflict, pitting Germany’s most widely celebrated Jew against the Nazi scientist who was to become Hitler’s chief advisor on physics, had an impact far exceeding what the scientific community felt at the time. Indeed, their mutual antagonism affected the direction of science long after 1933, when Einstein took flight to America and changed the history of two nations. The Man Who Stalked Einstein details the tense relationship between Einstein and Lenard, their ideas and actions, during the eventful period between World War I and World War II.
