Several natural processes determine the landscape and its evolution, over relatively short or relatively long periods of time. On the scale of human life, the evolution induced by common erosive-depositional processes or by transgressive-regressive phases can be considered slow compared with catastrophic events (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis or large mass movements). However, both can produce significant effects on human communities, which then respond, by adapting or migrating, to the natural modifications of the local landscape. Since protohistoric times, however, the increase in planned uses of the environment has resulted in human communities increasingly becoming the protagonists of landscape change. To a greater extent, in the historical period, the landscape has changed; these changes, more or less continuously, have been due to the overlapping of natural and man-induced processes. While, on the one hand, humankind has been and continues to be prone to natural landscape changes, on the other hand, in an attempt to mitigate the risks, they have become an actor in the creation of a new landscape more suitable for their needs. The purpose of this Special Issue (Historical Landscape Evolution) is to highlight the variations of the landscapes produced, in different locations and in defined time intervals and historical contexts, by environment-human interactions, evaluating, where possible, their relative weight and positive and negative effects on both human communities and the natural environment.

Numerous scientific research projects are concerned with improving and protecting the environment. The first steps towards solving the problem of environmental pollution include researching and monitoring the presence and concentration of pollutants, especially heavy metals. It is known from previous studies that fungi bioaccumulate high concentrations of heavy metals, the concentration of which depends, to a greater or lesser extent, on factors such as the species, sampling area, and anatomical parts of the fungus, but also the substrate on which they grow. As the concentration of heavy metals in fungi increases, the importance of fungi as bioindicators of environmental pollution also increases. However, extremely high concentrations of toxic heavy metals in fungi can have negative effects on human health. Constantly monitoring and controlling the levels of metals and metalloids in the human diet is necessary, both in foods of plant and animal origin and in food supplements, or in this case edible mushrooms, whose availability on the market and general popularity are constantly increasing. Therefore, this reprint provides good insights into the development of science and technology in relation to heavy metal concentrations in mushrooms.

Geohazards, such as landslides, rock avalanches, debris flow, ground fissures, and ground subsidence, pose a significant threat to people's lives and property. Recently, machine learning (ML) has become the predominant approach in geohazard modeling, offering advantages such as an excellent generalization ability and accurately describing complex and nonlinear behaviors. However, the utilization of advanced algorithms in deep learning remains poorly understood in this field. Additionally, there are fundamental challenges associated with ML modeling, including input variable selection, uncertainty quantification, and hyperparameter tuning. This reprint presents original research exploring new advances and challenges in the application of ML in the spatial-temporal modeling of geohazards. The contributions cover the susceptibility analysis of glacier debris flow and landslides, the displacement prediction of reservoir landslides, slope stability prediction and classification, building resilience evaluation, and the prediction of rainfall-induced landslide warning signals.

Imagine a grassy meadow, a willow branch carved into a makeshift bat, and a cloth bundle balanced precariously atop two sticks. This was the humble cradle of cricket, a pastoral pastime in the rolling hills of 16th-century England. From these rural beginnings, a game blossomed, evolving into a sport that now captivates billions across the globe.Cricket's early rules were rudimentary, a blend of shepherd's croquet and archery. Over time, codified laws took shape, governing the size of the pitch, the shape of the wicket, and the intricacies of scoring runs. Clubs sprung up, first in villages, then in bustling cities, fostering rivalries and nurturing generations of cricketing heroes.The 18th century saw cricket transcend its English confines, carried by the sails of colonial ships. The West Indies embraced the game's rhythm, India saw it morph into a vibrant cultural expression, and Australia adopted it with a fierce, competitive spirit. Each new land added its own twist, enriching the tapestry of cricket with unique strokes, vibrant jerseys, and passionate chants.But cricket's journey wasn't just about rules and borders. It mirrored the tumultuous tides of history. Colonization wielded cricket as a tool of cultural influence, while sporting victories became symbolic acts of defiance. Cricket resonated across social divides, offering a common ground for communities divided by class, caste, and creed.Today, cricket stands as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptation. From the leather-bound ball to the flashing LED bails, technology has transformed the game, but the essence remains the same - the delicate dance between bat and ball, the thrill of the chase, the agony of defeat, and the ecstasy of victory.As we approach the 2024 ICC World Cup, cricket's past provides a rich context, reminding us that the game is more than just runs and wickets. It's a legacy woven from centuries of tradition, passion, and the unwavering spirit of competition.Stay tuned, for in this book, we delve into the contenders vying for the coveted crown, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and the brewing rivalries that promise to electrify the tournament.

"Strike out the skinny bum. Send him back to Korea!" These words, yelled by baseball fans during a game in Shibe Park, and referring to Ted Williams, first fired Ted Blood with the idea of writing a book about the Splendid Splinter and his long-time difficulties with sportswriters. "The average fan, or man in the street, actually does not know how truly great the Splinter was or is," Mr. Blood writes, "both as a devastating hitter and as a fine fielder. They do not know a single fact about his charities, nor about his generous and unlimited help and advice to hundreds of young and old baseball players. Actually the fans are not to blame for their cursing and booing of our skinny hero. The sportswriters, at least some of them around the East and especially a few around Boston and New York, are to blame. They have painted a black picture so well that many fans jeer and curse the Splinter because they really believe he is a prize jerk, a poor sport, a hothead, a selfish, conceited bore, a lousy outfielder, a true villain." With a zealot's ardor and a veritable almanac of facts, Mr. Blood here refutes these canards. "A truly great sportsman," the author calls Williams, "the most deadly hitter of all time and one of the greatest fishermen in the whole wide world . . . a real, live heman, a gentleman." The author extols the Splinter's charitable work, his kindness and consideration, his greatness as a baseball player and his record as a war hero. He also explodes such stories as that Williams was deliberately off in the Everglades, fishing, when his wife gave birth to a baby daughter. This is a book that will capture the imagination of anyone who has ever thrilled to the cry: "Play ball!" and one that will arouse controversy in dugouts and bleachers and, in fact, wherever baseball players and fans gather. It will also show the would-be ballplayer how baseball "greats" are made.
