Introductory geotechnical engineering : an environmental perspective / by Fang, Hsai-Yang.(CARDINAL)315634; Daniels, John,1974-(CARDINAL)299016;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 518-538) and index.Introduction to geotechnical engineering -- Nature of soil and rock -- Soils and clay minerals -- Soil-water interaction in the environment -- Hydraulic conduction phenomena -- Thermal and electrical properties of soils -- Soil compaction (densification) -- Cracking-fracture-tensile behavior of soils -- Consolidation, stress distribution, and settlement -- Stress-strain-strength of soil -- Dynamic properties of soil -- Bearing capacity of shallow foundations -- Lateral earth pressure -- Earth slope stability and landslides -- Fundamentals of ground improvement systems -- Problems in environmental geotechnology.This volume explains the why and how of geotechnical engineering in an environmental context. Students of civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering, and practitioners unfamiliar with the particle-energy-field concept, should find the book's novel approach helps to clarify the complex theory behind geotechnics.

Biogeology reshapes earth! / by Doyle, Abby Badach,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.What is biogeology? -- One Earth, many spheres -- Worm poop helps the soil -- Plants' roots stop erosion -- Animals dig burrows -- Termites build huge mounds -- Busy beavers create ponds -- Hungry bacteria eat rocks -- Underwater worlds -- Humans reshape Earth too."On Earth, everything is connected, even if we can't see it right away. Biogeology is the study of the important-and sometimes weird-relationships between living things and the Earth itself. Young readers might know how beavers dam rivers to make ponds. But they might not know about the hungry bacteria that eat rocks to make sparkly minerals like pyrite, also called fool's gold! This fun, fact-filled title reinforces essential science concepts with surprising examples and eye-catching art. Young scientists are also introduced to the causes and effects of climate change"--

How to cool the planet : geoengineering and the audacious quest to fix earth's climate / by Goodell, Jeff.(CARDINAL)348038;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 246-248) and index.Right now, scientists are working on ways to minimize the catastrophic impact of global warming. But they're not designing hybrids or fuel cells or wind turbines. They're trying to lower the temperature of the entire planet--with huge contraptions that suck CO2 from the air, machines that brighten clouds and deflect sunlight, even artificial volcanoes that spray heat-reflecting particles into the atmosphere. This is the radical and controversial world of geoengineering, which only five years ago was considered to be "fringe." But as Jeff Goodell points out, the economic crisis, combined with global political realities, is making these ideas look sane, even inspired. Goodell himself started out as a skeptic, concerned about tinkering with the planet's thermostat. There are certainly risks, but Goodell believes the alternatives could be worse. In the end, he persuades us that geoengineering may just be our last best hope--a Plan B for the environment.--From publisher description.
