This book presents current approaches in certain areas of geotechnical engineering, state-of-the-art reports highlighting the open issues and a review of design practices, suggesting changes based on experience and recently-acquired knowledge.

A study on the Bellingwe Greenstone Belt, presenting the stratigraphy of the belt, its structure and tectonic setting, the sedimentology of what may be a rift basin, the geochemistry of the freshest Archaean komatiites yet found.

This book is a comprehensive review of the genera of Rubiaceae, a flowering plant family of mostly trees and shrubs, found in tropical East Africa. It presents information on their character, occurrence, habitat, phenotypic variations and distribution of the species under these genera.

The 25 papers collected together in this volume present coverage of all major aspects of landslide risk assessment, including the risk assessment framework, and methods for estimating probability of landsliding vulnerability.

This is a field manual to aid in the analysis of sedimentary successions. It looks at topics such as: sandstone; trace fossils; limestones; and tectonic signatures in the basin fill.

A manual on the development and reconstruction of coastal fishing areas. Coverage ranges from design conditions, through use of tidal currents for sea water flow, to improvement of water quality and breeding facilities.

Papers from the Fifth International PhD Symposium in Civil Engineering held in Delft 2004, featuring research projects from PhD candidates from twenty-eight countries on current ongoing research in Civil Engineering.

With the increasing awareness of environmental problems, there is a growing desire for a de¬tailed understanding of superficial deposits in general, and glacial deposits in particular

Fundamentals of vortex intake flow; Results theoretical & experimental work; Prediction of critical submergence; Modeling of vortices & swirling flows; Design; Intake structures; Pump sumps; Vortex-flow intakes. This volume forms an essential reference work for anyone involved in intakes, either as a practising design engineer or research worker. Water Power & Dam Constr., July 1988.The book is essential reading for postgraduate students & researchers alike and a very valuable aid to design engineers. Hydrol.Sc.Jrl., 33(3), 1988.

This work outlines the life of James Bruce of Kinnard, and Luigi Balugani and his relationship with James Bruce.

Prepared at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in collaboration with the East African Herbarium, the flora is designed to a high academic standard to produce reference for anyone concerned with the identification and utilization of plants in East Africa.

Part of a series of volumes on the flora of tropical East Africa, this text covers the Ptaeroxylaceae family.

Part of a set of nine volumes on the flora of tropical East Africa, this text covers the Piperaceae family.

The Flora of Tropical East Africa is a catalogue of all 12,104 known wild plant species in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. E. Robbrecht has published a new classification of the family - 'Tropical Woody Rubiaceae'. The value of the presence of rhaphides is given less prominence.

This work is a taxonomical, nomenclatural and historical account of the plants depicted in the Minickx Atlas and in the books by Jan and Casper Commelin.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Rock Joints held at Loen, Norway, June 1990. Subjects include geological aspects of joint origin and morphology, mechanical behaviour such as shear strength, hydraulic behaviour, and dynamic behaviour.

The purpose of this book is to present the state of knowledge concerning nutrition and point out directions for future work for the Echinodermata, an ancient group which shows great diversity in form and function, and whose feeding activities can have great environmental impact.

Part of a series of books, that shows how artifacts can be employed in the study of the history of science and technology in ways ranging from motivating a line of research to providing hard evidence in the solution of an otherwise insoluble problem.
