This infrastructure includes flood control levees, multi-purpose dams, locks, navigation channels, port and harbor facilities, and beach protection infrastructure. The Corps of Engineers also regulates the dredging and filling of wetlands subject to federal jurisdictions. Along with its programs for flood damage reduction and support of commercial navigation, ecosystem restoration was added as a primary Corps mission area in 1996. The National Research Council (NRC) Committee on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Water Resources Science, Engineering, and Planning was convened by the NRC at the request of the Corps of Engineers to provide independent advice to the Corps on an array of strategic and planning issues. National water resources challenges facing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers surveys the key water resources challenges facing the Corps, the limits of what might be expected today from the Corps, and future prospects for the agency. This report presents several findings, but no recommendations, to the Corps of Engineers based on initial investigations and discussions with Corps leadership.--Source other than Library of Congress.Hydraulic engineeringUnited StatesWater resources developmentUnited StatesHydraulic engineeringWater resources development553.70973National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Water Resources Science, Engineering, and Planning.National Research Council (U.S.).Water Science and Technology Board.National Research Council (U.S.).Division on Earth and Life Studies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781522803321National water resources challenges facing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers3825365UNINA02624nam 22004213 450 991079587360332120231110211744.01-78914-514-7(MiAaPQ)EBC7000998(Au-PeEL)EBL7000998(CKB)22895148900041(BIP)084311167(EXLCZ)992289514890004120220530d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAlbertus Magnus and the World of NatureLondon :Reaktion Books, Limited,2022.©2022.1 online resource (273 pages)Medieval Lives Print version: Resnick, Irven M.

Albertus' Legend and Influence -- Appendix -- Chronology -- References -- Further Reading -- Photo Acknowledgements -- Index.The first comprehensive English-language biography of Albert the Great in a century.As well as being an important medieval theologian, Albertus Magnus (Albert the Great) also made significant contributions to the study of astronomy, geography, and natural philosophy, and his studies of the natural world led Pope Pius XII to declare Albert the patron saint of the natural sciences. Dante Alighieri acknowledged a substantial debt to Albert's work, and in the Divine Comedy placed him equal with his celebrated student and brother Dominican, Thomas Aquinas.In this book, the first full, scholarly biography in English for nearly a century, Irven M. Resnick and Kenneth F. Kitchell Jr. narrate Albert's key contributions to natural philosophy and the history of science, while also revealing the insights into medieval life and customs that his writings provide.Medieval Lives 230.2092Resnick Irven M181390Kitchell Jr Kenneth F1578775MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795873603321Albertus Magnus and the World of Nature3858417UNINA
