Annemaree Lloyd. Oxford, UK : Chandos, ©2010, 192 p. The book explores the nature of the phenomenon from a socio-cultural perspective, which offers a more holistic approach to understanding information literacy as a catalyst for learning. This perspective emphasizes the dynamic relationship between learner and environment in the construction of knowledge. The approach underlines the importance of contextuality, through which social, cultural and embodied factors influence formal and informal learning. This book contributes to the understanding of information literacy and its role in formal and informal contexts. G 028.7 L47 28272 | | | |
Paul Meylan, Anne-Catherine Favre, André Musy. Enfield, NH : Science Publishers, ©2012, 212 p. The unusual frequency of hydro-meteorological events in recent decades, often with catastrophic consequences for society and the environment, require new methods for designing water management projects and the structures meant to protect us from natural hazards. These methods and techniques are often based on the statistical modeling techniques of frequency analysis. This book, published originally in French, addresses both the theoretical concepts and the methodological approaches used in frequency hydrology—spelling out the fundamental methods to consider, providing concise instruction on the techniques that are involved, and including examples and critiques based on practical applications.

Fai Fung, Ana Lopez, Mark New, editors. West Sussex : Wiley-Blackwell, ©2011, 187 p. The quantitative assessment of the impact of climate change on water availability and water resources management requires knowledge of climate, hydro(geo)logical and water resources models, and particularly the relationships between each of them. This book brings together world experts on each of these aspects, distilling each complex topic into concise and easy to understand chapters, in which both the uses and limitations of modelling are explored. The book concludes with a set of case studies using real-life examples to illustrate the steps required and the problems that can be faced in assessing the potential impacts of climate change on water resource systems.

Philip Ball. México : FCE, ©2010, 474 p. Desde sus orígenes en el Big Bang hasta su presente, esta narración se enfrenta al reto de narrar la vida del agua. "Comencé a escribir este libro -dice Philip Ball- con la certeza de que el agua era una constante fuente de fascinación, misterio y controversia. Los papeles que el agua asume en el funcionamiento de las células vivas, así como sus implicaciones en la existencia de vida extraterrestre, siguen generando sorpresa, excitación y polémica. Eso me satisface enormemente, pues viene a confirmar mi intuición de que el agua es una sustancia especial que merece una biografía, y que pocas veces podemos debatir acerca de ella de un modo desapasionado".
