    • English
    Mixed Severity Fires: Nature’s Phoenix, Second Edition focuses on wildfire as a keystone ecological process that has shaped plant and animal communities for over 400 million years. The book describes the renewal process that follows wildfires in forests and chaparral ecosystems as nature’s phoenix by drawing from examples of wildfire effects. In addition, the book describes management and policies that have contributed to wildfire problems, including climate change and land-use practices incompatible with nature’s phoenix and what must happen to get to coexistence with wildfires that are not going away no matter how much we try to suppress or alter fire behavior.

Finally, Part 4 considers future perspectives, including challenges and techno economics.This book is an essential read for those seeking to understand how to successfully apply hydrogen production and storage research to an industrial scale.

  • Pathophysiology and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Disease in Peripheral Arteries

    • 1st Edition
    • Aloke Virmani Finn
    • English
    Pathophysiology and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Disease in Peripheral Arteries is a thorough review of the disease written by experts studying its detection and treatment. These state-of-the-art chapters summarize emerging knowledge about this important area of medicine. The pathophysiology and treatment of peripheral artery (PAD) disease remains poorly understood even by practitioners. Often it is assumed that PAD should be treated in a similar fashion to coronary artery disease (CAD), when in fact recent data suggest a distinct pathophysiology with genetic risk having some but not complete overlap with CAD.This is a novel reference of emerging data on the factors behind its development and progression, detection, and treatment suggest an emerging paradigm for this disease.

  • Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environments
