It is a well-known fact that eutrophication of coastal waters causes significant changes in the species composition of the primary producers. Usually a shift from an ecosystem dominated by sea grasses or large brown algae to an ecosystem dominated by fast-growing green algae or phytoplankton is observed. While this shift has been documented in a number of research papers and books, the consequences of this shift are less well known. This book focuses on the consequences of such changes for nutrient cycling. The aim is to investigate how different types of primary producers influence nutrient cycling in coastal marine waters, and how nutrient cycling changes qualitatively and quantitatively as a consequence of the changes in the primary producer community caused by eutrophication. The various chapters address specific ecological processes such as grazing, decomposition, burial and export of biomass from the ecosystem. The book is intended for researchers and professionals working in the field of coastal marine ecology and estuarine ecology and for advanced students in this field.

Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. This book- length lyric essay provides gently incisive scrutiny of the processes (biological, social, psychological, cultural, even economic) of planned motherhood. Kiefer employs verse, memoir, reportage, and a quietly tenacious prose narrative to style a private moment- by-moment mosaic of experience. Discussions of gender and privilege blend seamlessly with larger, core interrogations of the body itself—that which perseveres and triumphs, that which fails in myriad ways and despairs helplessly of those failures—that which creates and that which betrays itself.

A compelling fantasy world often benefits from a thorough consideration of the languages spoken by its citizenry. Whether you are playing a role-playing game or building a world of your own, you may find a constructed language to be the tool you need to bring depth and realism to the experience. That’s where this book comes in. This book describes the fundamentals of Katalopsi, a musical language with a lexicon specifically designed for fantasy and science fiction contexts. With hundreds of pages devoted to the sounds and grammar, an original writing system, and over ten thousand dictionary entries, Katalopsi will bring you all the realism of a natural language with none of the cultural baggage, allowing the facts of your setting to emerge uninhibited.
