La 4e de couverture indique : "Les tourbières sont présentes sur la Terre depuis environ 400 millions d'années. de distribution planétaire, ces écosystèmes ont contribué à l'évolution des premières flores et faunes terrestres et offrent aux paléo-écologues, aux pédologues, aux géographes, un précieux terrain de recherche. L'histoire du monde et des civilisations y est inscrite, les tourbières conservant, telles d'immenses archives, les traces des grands changements climatiques et des bouleversements apportés par les sociétés humaines. Ces sols sont d'autant plus précieux qu'ils sont gravement menacés aujourd'hui. Exploitées depuis le Moyen Âge, détruites, abandonnées, asséchées pour laisser place à des surfaces propices à l'agriculture ou à l'urbanisme, les tourbières sont en voie de disparition dans de nombreux pays. Cependant l'intérêt actuel porté aux zones humides et à la biodiversité a engendré, en Europe par exemple, des mesures législatives et réglementaires en faveur de la sauvegarde et de la préservation de ces écosystèmes. L'ouvrage propose une somme de connaissances considérables, sans équivalent en langue française. Organisé en 4 parties et 11 chapitres, il aborde tous les aspects des tourbières et de la tourbe : le vocabulaire propre à cet écosystème, les sols, la faune, la flore, l'origine, la répartition géographique, l'utilisation de la tourbe, les services écosystémiques, les menaces pesant sur les tourbières et les actions menées pour leur préservation ou leur réhabilitation. Il s'adresse aux pédologues, géographes, écologues, aux gestionnaires des milieux aquatiques et des espaces naturels, ainsi qu'aux étudiants, enseignants et chercheurs en sciences de l'environnement."

This book includes an analysis of the Jehoash Inscription Tablet, which describes renovations made to the First Temple and is considered the only written evidence of its existence. At the same time, a new technique for authenticating artifacts is described: this is especially important in determining the authenticity of artifacts collected from unprovenanced sites. Other subjects treated in the book are: the only known stone oil lamp with שבעת המינים carved onto seven nozzles, which was archaeometrically analyzed to verify its authenticity, and is thought to have been used during the Second Temple Period in rituals that necessitated that laws of purity be followed; and the James Ossuary, displaying the Aramaic inscription Ya'akov bar-Yosef akhui diYeshua (James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus), which, if genuine, might provide archaeological evidence for Jesus of Nazareth and indicate that the ossuary was that of James the Just, the older brother of Jesus.

This Brief discusses a unique mechanism to combine historical and archaeological evidence with statistical geodynamic modeling to study the historical development of the Eura region in lower Satakunta, Finland; this region is known for its rich cultural history. The book presents methods to model post-glacial land uplift and the landscape. By using these coupled data, it is possible to narrow the dating estimates of the archaeologically important places and structures and to build a more detailed reconstruction of landscape evolution in connection with the knowledge about human settlements and their movements. The resulting geospatial and uplift models are included as supplements. The primary audience for this book is experts and professionals working in the fields of archaeology, geography, geology and geospatial data analysis. .
