Simulation ofEcological andEnvironmentalModelsMiguel F. AcevedoUniversity of North Texas, Denton, USA“ … particularly excels in itshands-on approach … .”

—Mark A. Harwell, Harwell Gentile & Associates, LC,Port Orange, Florida

Simulation of Ecological and EnvironmentalModels introduces the theory and practice of mod-eling and simulation as applied in a variety of disci-plines that relate to Earth systems, the environment,ecology, and human–nature interactions. Based onthe author’s many years of teaching graduate andundergraduate students, it shows how to implementsimulations and analyze the results using an open-source software platform.

The textbook is organized into three parts to allowgreater flexibility using the material. The first partprovides a tutorial-style mathematical review and anintroduction to the basics of R software. The secondpart explains the fundamentals of modeling method-ology through one-dimensional models. After areview of matrix algebra, the third part progresses tomultidimensional models, focusing on structuredpopulations, communities, and ecosystems. The finalchapters show how simple models are hookedtogether to generate more comprehensive models.

Introduction toRenewableEnergyVaughn NelsonWest Texas A&M University,Canyon, USA

As the world populationgrows and places moredemand on limited fossilfuels, renewable energybecomes more relevant as part of the solution tothe impending energy dilemma. Renewable energyis now included in national policies, with goals for itto be a significant percentage of generated energywithin the coming decades. A comprehensiveoverview, Introduction to Renewable Energy is atextbook exploring how we can use the sun, wind,biomass, geothermal resources, and water to gen-erate more sustainable energy.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book inte-grates economic, social, environmental, policy, andengineering issues related to renewable energy. Itexplains the fundamentals of energy, including thetransfer of energy, as well as the limitations of natu-ral resources. Starting with solar power, it illustrateshow energy from the sun is transferred and stored;used for heating, cooling, and lighting; collectedand concentrated; and converted into electricity. Itdescribes residential power usage—includingunderground and off-grid homes—and houses thatare designed to use energy more efficiently or to becompletely self-sufficient. The book also examineswind power, bioenergy—including biofuel—andgeothermal heat pumps, as well as hydro, tidal, andocean energy.

Describing storage as a billion-dollar idea, the textdiscusses the challenges of storing energy and pro-vides an overview of technologies from flywheels tobatteries. It also examines institutional issues such asenvironmental regulations, incentives, infrastruc-ture, and social costs and benefits. Emphasizing theconcept of life-cycle cost, the book analyzes thecosts associated with different sources of energy.

Environmentaland HydrologicalSystemsModellingA. W. JayawardenaThe University of Hong Kong

Mathematical modelling hasbecome an indispensable tool for engineers, scien-tists, planners, decision makers, and many otherprofessionals who need to make predictions offuture scenarios as well as real impending events. Asmodelling approaches and the model to be usedare problem-specific, no single model or approachcan be used to solve all problems, and there areconstraints in each situation. Modellers thereforeneed to have a range of choices when confrontedwith constraints such as lack of sufficient data,resources, expertise, and time.

Environmental and Hydrological SystemsModelling provides the tools for students and pro-fessionals embarking on a modelling project. Thebook presents different approaches to modellingthe water environment over a range of spatial andtemporal scales. Applications are shown with aseries of case studies, taken mainly from the Asia-Pacific Region.

Coverage includes:

• Linear systems • Conceptual models • Data driven models • Process-based models • Risk-management models • Model parameter estimation • Model calibration, validation, and testing
