This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on the utilisation of manure to improve soil management and health. The first chapter reviews ways to improve manure management in animal housing during storage and after application in the field. The chapter also considers manure application methods and their effects on nitrogen utilisation and soil carbon storage. The second chapter discusses the role of manure and compost in maintaining soil health, as well as ways of integrating livestock and crop production to optimise soil health. The third chapter reviews the impacts associated with the application of livestock and poultry manure on the ability of soil to deliver a range of ecosystem services that sustain plants, animals, people and the environment. The fourth chapter discusses the responsible storage, treatment and processing of livestock manure, as well as the measures available to mitigate the production of greenhouse gas emissions during these processes, such as slurry mixing. The final chapter reviews the main technologies for manure valorisation into bioenergy and biofertiliser products. It discusses developments in more established technologies such as solid-liquid (S/L) separation, as well as more innovative techniques, such as ammonia stripping/scrubbing.

The ocean-side community of Hidden Beach, Florida, is under attack. A series of murders has the police scrambling to find the killer, and as the body count rises, they narrow their search to Henry Watchman, pastor of Hidden Beach Community Church. Though the pastor denies having any part in the murders, he and his wife, Jenna, are hiding a terrible secret. Vincent Anderson, a young detective on the force, is bending his time and effort to catching the pastor -but the murders continue. And behind it all, a shadowy force rises from the ocean's depths. Though unseen, it pushes men and women to the brink of ruin. If not stopped, the sinister force will swamp many of Hidden Beach's citizens in a Demon Undertow.

Change is coming to Heaven. Since their creation, the angels have only known eternal, unchanging bliss as they serve and worship their beloved Lord and God. But with the announcement that a new Age is coming soon, heralding something called a "universe," questions abound. When they learn that this universe will be inhabited by beings called Humanity, and that the angels will serve them, decisions have to be made by everyone. Shock, anger, and broken alliances swirl throughout Heaven, with three angels at their center: Lucifer, mightiest of all the angels; Michael, a powerful angel who is Lucifer's second-in-command; and Grisson, the newest - and last - angel created. Sides will be chosen and battles fought, with both Heaven and Earth hanging in the balance.

A Prehistory of North America covers the ever-evolving understanding of the prehistory of North America, from its initial colonization, through the development of complex societies, and up to contact with Europeans. This book is the most up-to-date treatment of the prehistory of North America. In addition, it is organized by culture area in order to serve as a companion volume toAn Introduction to Native North America. It also includes an extensive bibliography to facilitate research by both students and professionals.

Virtual palaeontology, the use of interactive three-dimensional digital models as a supplement or alternative to physical specimens for scientific study and communication, is rapidly becoming important to advanced students and researchers. Using non-invasive techniques, the method allows the capture of large quantities of useful data without damaging the fossils being studied Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology guides palaeontologists through the decisions involved in designing a virtual palaeontology workflow and gives a comprehensive overview, providing discussions of underlying theory, applications, historical development, details of practical methodologies, and case studies. Techniques covered include physical-optical tomography (serial sectioning), focused ion beam tomography, all forms of X-ray CT, neutron tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical tomography, laser scanning, and photogrammetry. Visualization techniques and data/file formats are also discussed in detail. Readership: All palaeontologists and students interested in three-dimensional visualization and analysis. New Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental Science Because of the plethora of analytical techniques now available, and the acceleration of technological advance, many earth scientists find it difficult to know where to turn for reliable information on the latest tools at their disposal, and may lack the expertise to assess the relative strengths or limitations of a particular technique. This new series will address these difficulties by providing accessible introductions to important new techniques, lab and field protocols, suggestions for data handling and interpretation, and useful case studies. The series represents an invaluable and trusted source of information for researchers, advanced students and applied earth scientists wishing to familiarise themselves with emerging techniques in their field. All titles in this series are available in a variety of full-colour, searchable eBook formats. Titles are also available in an enhanced eBook edition which may include additional features such as DOI linking, high resolution graphics and video.

"Heart Healthy Pizza is a breakthrough guide to making nutritious plant-based pizzas. Mark Sutton will show you how to make your own delicious dough, mouth-watering sauces, and vegan cheeses.

Most are gluten-free. Coupled with recipes for crusts (including gluten-free versions), several bottom sauces and total pizza concepts, this easy to use book will help anyone create scrumptious and delectable pizzas. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Foreword by Howard Lyman Introduction Chapter 1: Firm Foundations Chapter 2: Amazing Gracious Sauces Chapter 3: No Nonsense Non-Cheese Sauces Chapter 4: Powerful Pizza Possibilities Resources Glossary Appendix 1: Reasons for Choosing a Plant-Based Diet Appendix 2: The Problems with Added Oil or Fat Appendix 3: Fat Stats for Commercial Plant-based Cheeses Appendix 4: Cooking Grains and Legumes Recipes Index General Index All recipes are vegan and were inspired from the 20+ years of peer-reviewed research by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., which demonstrates that a no-added oil plant-based diet can not only reverse heart disease, but in theory, prevent it. "Mark Sutton takes pizza to a new level of nutritional possibilities. After reading Heart Healthy Pizza, NO one will be able to eat ANY OTHER pizza without a conscience." Caldwell B. Esselstyn, J., M. D. and Ann Crile Esselstyn, "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease."
