Environmental Science/Climate Change & Mitigation
Erosion control is a priority in the agriculture, construction, and conservation industries as well as in land development applications. The everyday processes involved in these industries can often result in erosion and have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding ecology. These harmful impacts can be minimized by erosion control. The new book, Erosion Measurement, Modeling, and Management: Challenges and Solutions, emphasizes the various erosion concerns and solutions for dealing with them.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
