But then the bubble burst. The financial sector was paralyzed and the economy contracted. State and federal governments struggled to pay their domestic and foreign creditors. Washington was incapable of decisive action. The country seethed with political and social unrest. In America's First Great Depression, Alasdair Roberts describes how the United States dealt with the economic and political crisis that followed the Panic of 1837.As Roberts shows, the two decades that preceded the Panic had marked a democratic surge in the United States. However, the nation's commitment to democracy was tested severely during this crisis. Foreign lenders questioned whether American politicians could make the unpopular decisions needed on spending and taxing. State and local officials struggled to put down riots and rebellion. A few wondered whether this was the end of America's democratic experiment. Roberts explains how the country's woes were complicated by its dependence on foreign trade and investment, particularly with Britain. Aware of the contemporary relevance of this story, Roberts examines how the country responded to the political and cultural aftershocks of 1837, transforming its political institutions to strike a new balance between liberty and social order, and uneasily coming to terms with its place in the global economy.Depressions1836-1837Depressions1847Financial crisesUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesEconomic conditionsTo 1865United StatesPolitics and government1815-1861DepressionsDepressionsFinancial crisesHistory330.973/057Roberts Alasdair(Alasdair Scott)905375MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789905303321America's first Great Depression3722307UNINA04598nam 22011773a 450 991036756310332120250203235434.09783039214327303921432210.3390/books978-3-03921-432-7(CKB)4100000010106115(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/53684(ScCtBLL)46d44d4c-87c0-4c75-bbb9-3450ecd4adb5(OCoLC)1163805200(EXLCZ)99410000001010611520250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierModeling and Practice of Erosion and Sediment Transport under ChangeMohamed Meddi, Hafzullah Aksoy, Gil MahéBasel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (212 p.)9783039214310 3039214314 Climate and anthropogenic changes impact the conditions of erosion and sediment transport in rivers. Rainfall variability and, in many places, the increase of rainfall intensity have a direct impact on rainfall erosivity. Increasing changes in demography have led to the acceleration of land cover changes in natural areas, as well as in cultivated areas, and, sometimes, in degraded areas and desertified landscapes. These anthropogenized landscapes are more sensitive to erosion. On the other hand, the increase in the number of dams in watersheds traps a great portion of sediment fluxes, which do not reach the sea in the same amount, nor at the same quality, with consequences on coastal geomorphodynamics. This book is dedicated to studies on sediment fluxes from continental areas to coastal areas, as well as observation, modeling, and impact analysis at different scales from watershed slopes to the outputs of large river basins. This book is concentrated on a number of keywords: "erosion" and "sediment transport", "model" and "practice", and "change". The keywords are briefly discussed with respect to the relevant literature. The contributions in this book address observations and models based on laboratory and field data, allowing researchers to make use of such resources in practice under changing conditions.proglacial channelswatershedpracticemodelingreservoirsdegradationrill developmentMediterranean Maghreb Basinurban drainage systemfluvial erosionWadi MinaAlgeriasewer systemsclimate changephosphoruscomplex morphodynamicsincipient depositionriverbedlimiting tractive forcerupturesrunofffloodingsoil losssuspended sedimentsedimentationsedimenttransfererosionspecific degradationsoil erosionXihe River Basinwater fluxessediment fluxesenvironmental changefield measurementsdynamical downscalingmixed-size bed materialtwo-phase flowagriculturesloping flume experimentsmitigation measuresbed load transportshear stressflow dischargeGSDshear Reynolds numberAnthropocenehuman activitiesdepositionsediment deliverysoil slurrySMBA Dambedload transportaggradationCzech Republicsediment transportself-cleansingerosion topographyCCHE1Dsediment retentionSWAT modelmigrationwater quality modellinghillside reservoirserosion modellingMeddi Mohamed1788046Aksoy HafzullahMahé GilScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367563103321Modeling and Practice of Erosion and Sediment Transport under Change4322366UNINA
