GPSSoftware Library

This reference and handbook describes the func-tional software library of the Global Positioning System (GPS/Galileo). It is the original software source-code of many functions, models, algo-rithms and tools described in the textbook “GPS – Theory, Algorithms and Applications” written by the same author published by Springer. The software functions are parts of the KSGsoft and MFGsoft programs developed by the author at the GFZ in Potsdam. All the source-code are verified by real GPS data processing applications. The soft-ware uses the books “GPS – Theory, Algorithms and Applications” as its theoretical description. The functional library covers physical models, disturbance models, mathematical methods, adjustment and filtering algorithms, the transfor-mation, interpolation, integration methods, and numerous tools.

Sustainable Food Security in the Era of Local and Global Environmental ChangeThis volume discusses a broad range of vital issues encompassing the production and consumption of food in the current period of climate change. All of these add up to looming, momentous chal-lenges to food security, especially for people in regions where malnutrition and famine have been the norm during numerous decades. Furthermore, threats to food security do not stop at the borders of more affluent countries – governance of food systems and changes in eating patterns will have worldwide consequences. The book is arranged in four broad sections. Part I, Combating Food Insecurity: A Global Responsibility opens with a chapter describing the urgent necessity for new paradigm and policy set to meet the food security challenges of climate change.

Developing Geographical Indications in the SouthThe Southern African Experience

This book contributes to the literature on Geo-graphical Indications (GIs) by providing key theo-retical reflections from a five-year review process on the potential of GIs for agri-food products in Southern Africa. The contributors reflect on diverse GI processes and dynamics which operate at the local, national and international levels, thus enriching the understanding of GI dynamics and of the variety of policy options available for GI protection in Southern countries. Following a discussion of the legal framework and governance of national GI schemes in Southern countries, the book emphasizes the main dimensions underlying the development of GIs and their potential for en-hancing sustainable rural development and market access in particular. This provides the structure for the chapters that build on the different experiences of Southern African industries that have embarked on GI strategies.

Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentGlobal society in the 21st century is facing chal-lenges of improving the quality of air, water, soil and environment and maintaining the ecologi-cal balance. Environmental pollution, thus, has become a major global concern. The modern growth of industrialization, urbanization, modern agricultural development and energy generation has resulted in discriminate exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling the human desires and need, which have contributed in disturbing the ecological balance on which the quality of our en-vironment depends. Human beings in true sense are the product of their environment. Man-envi-ronment relationship indicates that pollution and deterioration of environment has a social origin.

This volume is an indispensable addition to the multidisciplinary coverage of the science of the Mediterranean Sea. The editors have gathered leading authorities from the fields of Marine Biology, Ecology, paleoclimatology, Chemical and Physical Oceanography, Zoology, Botany, Aquatic Photosynthesis, Socioeconomics, Mariculture, Mediterranean History and Science of Humanity. Beginning with the birth of the Mediterranean Sea and its myths. From coral to fish, an introduc-tion is given to its major inhabitants of plants and animals past and present. The chapters illustrate how organisms interact as part of the structure and function of the Sea’s main ecosystems. The rise of the Mediterranean as the cradle of the Western Civilization leads to a discourse on the status of human interaction with the sea.

Soils of the WorldThis book describes and comprehensively il-lustrates all earth soils in accordance with the prevailing worldwide WRB classification. How-ever, it goes far beyond description and defini-tion, by presenting the soils in the context of the natural habitats in which they occur. The book is structured in line with ecological zones. Initially their location, the climate and the vegetation as well as the factors influencing the constitution of the soil are briefly presented. All soils represen-tative of the corresponding ecological zone are then defined and described in detail: Definition Diagnostic features Physical, chemical and bio-logical characteristics Occurrence and distribution Use and endangering Processes influencing soil formation Distribution maps Diagrams showing profile characteristics and soil formation processes Photographs of soil profiles Photographs of soil-scapes and Soil catenas All these factors contribute to producing an impression of their characteristics as well as their natural surroundings.

Wetlands and lakes of the worldThe occurrence and description of wetlands in India with reference to those around the world is detailed in a sequential manner from local, pro-vincial, regional, and national to global scenario in this book, “Wetlands and Lakes of India and World”. The book also deals with a systematic, se-quential and comprehensive treatment of the Lim-nology (physico-chemical and biological features) and Fisheries of the Wetlands in India and is well supported by author’s original data. As Limnology and Fishery Science are interlinked, this book at-tempts to provide a holistic view of both the fields, along with their methodologies. The book has nu-merous examples from the local environment that go along with the explained theoretical concepts. Furthermore, a unique feature of the book is that it deals with the protocols of various Limnological methodologies, thus, making it a handy guide for lab and field studies. The book has distinguished itself by incorporating chapter based on Global Information System or GIS.
