Hydrolysis of Metal Ions

by Paul L. Brown, Christian Ekberg

2016 · John Wiley & Sons

Filling the need for a comprehensive treatment that covers the theory, methods and the different types of metal ion complexes with water (hydrolysis), this handbook and ready reference is authored by a nuclear chemist from academia and an industrial geochemist. The book includes both cation and anion complexes, and approaches the topic of metal ion hydrolysis by first covering the background, before proceeding with an overview of the dissociation of water and then all different metal-water hydrolysis complexes and compounds. A must-have for scientists in academia and industry working on this interdisciplinary topic.

Globalization and the Race for Resources

by Stephen G. Bunker, Paul S. Ciccantell

Drawing from extensive historical research into how economic and environmental dynamics interacted in the extraction of different materials in the Amazon, especially in the development of the iron mine of Carajas, the authors illustrate the profound connection between global dominance and control of natural resources.

Water Relations of Plants and Soils

by Paul J. Kramer, John S. Boyer

1995 · Academic Press

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer, covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology. Emphasis is on the interdependence of processes, including rate of water absorption, rate of transpiration, resistance to water flow into roots, soil factors affecting water availability. New trends in the field, such as the consideration of roots (rather than leaves) as the primary sensors of water stress, are examined in detail. - Addresses the role of water in the whole range of plant activities - Describes molecular mechanisms of water action in the context of whole plants - Synthesizes recent scientific findings - Relates current concepts to agriculture and ecology - Provides a summary of methods
