Series: Developments in Arid Regions Research Series

There are many urgent problems in arid land hydrogeology and it is these issues which are tackled in this volume on desert environments. The UAE-Japan symposia provide a venue for the exchange of expertise, confronting such problems as purification, usage and management of groundwater, the assessment and protection of sustainable water resources, and soil enhancement techniques for moisture control in arid lands. The hope is that a better understanding of dryland environment, combined with innovative solutions and technologies, will contribute to the greening of desert lands.

Reviews for Arid Land Hydrogeology: In Search of a Solution to a Threatened Resource: Proceedings of the Third Joint UAE-Japan Symposium on Sustainable GCC Environment and Water Resources (EWR2006), 28 - 30 January 2006, Abu Dhabi, UAE (Volume IV in DARE series)

The internationally celebrated poet, novelist and playwright is revealed in this celebration and retrospective as 'Islandman', chronicler of Orkney lore and champion of the islands' particular enchantment. His weekly columns, for over 50 years the beating heart of the Orkney Herald and the Orcadian, are here selected for their peculiar mix of fact and fancy. Stone-Age drunks, New-Age tourists, fisherman, whalers, ancestors and friends weave in and out of these Orkney stories, wandering into significance like people accidentally caught on camera. And the places where these folk come together - smithy, inn, kirk, cattle market - become 'little theatres of poetry' as much in Mackay Brown's prose as in his verse. The poems in this book, many previously unpublished, may represent 'work in progress', but in revealing the intimacy between journalist and poet the editors are surely right in thinking that Islandman would not have been too displeased.
