Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of arid and semi-arid lands conditions, their general characteristics, methods of management, conservation, exploitation and reclamation. It also focuses on how to utilize the potential of arid lands with the minimum manipulation and alteration. Arid and semi-arid areas represent a major part of natural ecosystems not only in Iran, but around the world, and mismanagement and inappropriate exploitation of these areas may lead to further gradual degradation. As such, an understanding of the characteristics of these areas is vital if they are to be conserved and reclaimed.

Book excerpt: 'Big freeze' conditions, storms, severe flooding, droughts, and heatwaves - recent extremes in weather, with their resultant physical, economic and human losses, highlight the vulnerability of society to changes in the atmosphere. Atmospheric pollution, urbanization, natural atmospheric disasters are causing dramatic changes in climatic environments. Applied Climatology examines the effects of climate on physical, biological and cultural environments. Specialist contributors from Europe, North America and Australasia examine the impacts of changing climates on the functioning and development of physical biological environments including glaciers, water resources, landforms, soils, vegetation and animals. Weather and climate effects day-to-day activities and lifestyles from the clothes we wear to the buildings we design, and the food and energy we produce. This book focusses on the relationship between climate and a wide range of human activities and responses relating to health and comfort, building design, transport systems, agriculture and fisheries, tourism and social, industrial and legal issues. Climate-environment relationships and impacts on human activities are predicted to change dramatically if global warming accelerates at the rates currently proposed. Applied Climatology examines the characteristics and consequences of the changing global climate and considers the future for both natural and human environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Considerations in Building and Urban Design Baruch Givoni Climate Considerations in Building and Urban Design is the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference available on building and urban climatology. Written in clear, common-sense language by Baruch Givoni, the leading authority in the field, this book is a far-reaching look at a variety of climatic influences and their effects on individuals, buildings, and communities. Aimed at architecture and urban planning professionals and students alike, Climate Considerations in Building and Urban Design offers real-life solutions to climatological site planning and design issues, helping to settle disputes about site orientation, site organization, and the assembly of building materials. Climate Considerations in Building and Urban Design is organized into three parts. The first, Building Climatology, analyzes human thermal comfort and the effect of architectural and structural design features including layout, window orientation, and shading, and ventilation conditions on the indoor climate. Then, Urban Climatology explores the ways in which the climate in densely built areas can differ from surrounding regional climactic conditions, for example, in temperature, wind speed, and humidity. This part further explores the effects of urban design elements, such as urban density and building height, on a city's outdoor climate. Finally, Building and Urban Design Guidelines applies the body of available research on building climatology and the effects of physical planning on the urban and indoor climates to suggest design guidelines for different regions--for example, hot-dry and hot-humid climates. Filled with lists, tables, and graphs for easy cross-referencing, as well as hundreds of visuals, Climate Considerations in Building and Urban Design offers readers the ability to perform a quick check of a proposed scheme against authoritative criteria. Mr. Givoni's latest volume is a unique, indispensable guide to the relationship between building design, urban planning, and climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapidly perishing resources are a reality experienced by millions of inhabitants in developing countries throughout the world. Insufficient infrastructure, inaccessibility and unfavourable geological and climatic conditions, have informed this research as a reaction towards the intensive mismanagement of water, a depleting natural resource prescribed to all living things. The thesis will explore the impact of scarce water reserves in societies that inhabit arid, and humid geological typologies in the world. Particular focus of the thesis will explore the impact of traditional (inefficient) water management strategies pertaining to the sustenance of livestock, and initiating domestic agricultural produce in the city of Gwader, Pakistan. The agriculture sector often bears the largest contribution to the local economy in most developing countries, it’s environmental footprint, and the consumption of natural resources remains at large growing. The relationship between growth in the agriculture sector, and the need for natural resources persist as the greatest challenge for developing and growing economies. Communities are limited to the existing resources accessible to them, ultimately disrupting the goal of attaining self-reliance and ensuring food security. Considering that the element of sufficient natural resources (water) is an essential catalyst for growth within the agriculture sector, specifically in unfavourable (arid and dry) conditions; has brought to light the significance of a self-reliant infrastructure resulting in Rural, Semi Urban, and Urban agriculture facilities that can contribute to the production of domestic produce. The proposed facilities will be presented as a feasibility study into the production of water, for crop and livestock feed in the urban and rural context of the growing demands of a rapidly developing city. The study will ultimately lead into a design-based approach, and propose a model facility that can be integrated within similar climates and regions of the world. The series of facilities will respond to the proposed expansion of the city, and the diverse population densities within the rural and urban developments. The centralisation of produce production within our cities has always incited the optimist into formulating progressive solutions, which integrate the greater community and address the diverse traditional and ethnic values of the inhabiting people. Translating the values and needs of the local Nomadic population in the region of Gwader, into an operational component within the Architectural solution, further challenges the diversification parameters not commonly associated with similar industrial and operation intensive facilities.

Book excerpt: This unique book addresses Iran’s extremely rich soil diversity and resources, which have developed under various climatic conditions ranging from dry to humid conditions. Featuring contributions by a group of respected experts on Iranian soils and agriculture, it provides comprehensive information on the management approaches needed for sustainable soil utilization and conservation under such conditions, and the attendant challenges. As such, it offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in soils and agriculture in Iran, but also in other Middle East and North African countries with similar climatic conditions. The book contains 14 chapters which illustrate the long history of indigenous knowledge and soil research, climate, geology and geomorphology, vegetation cover, soil forming factors and processes, major soils, properties and their classification. Furthermore, it presents past climate change and paleosols, agroecological zones, soil fertility, soil biology and biotechnology, human induced land degradation and “soil management in space and time”. In the end, major challenges facing the soil resources of the country are defined and recommendations are made to face the future challenges.
