Chesapeake Invader: Discovering America's Giant Meteorite Crater
ISBN: 9780691629018 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thirty-five million years ago, a meteorite three miles wide and moving sixty times faster than a bullet slammed into the sea bed near what is now Chesapeake Bay. The impact, more powerful than the combined explosion of every nuclear bomb on Earth, blasted out a crater fifty miles wide and one mile deep. Shock waves radiated through the Earth for thousands of miles, shaking the foundations of the Appalachians, as gigantic waves and winds of white-hot debris transformed the eastern seaboard into a lifeless wasteland. Chesapeake Invader is the story of this cataclysm, told by the man...

Zero Degrees
ISBN: 9780674088818 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Space and time on earth are regulated by the prime meridian, 0, which is, by convention, based at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. But the meridian's location in southeast London is not a simple legacy of Britain's imperial past. Before the nineteenth century, more than twenty-five different prime meridians were in use around the world, including Paris, Beijing, Greenwich, Washington, and the location traditional in Europe since Ptolemy, the Canary Islands. Charles Withers explains how the choice of Greenwich to mark 0 longitude solved complex problems of global measurement that had...

Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)
ISBN: 9780190648701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898, Puerto Rico has a peculiar status among Latin American and Caribbean countries. As a Commonwealth, the island enjoys limited autonomy over local matters, but the U.S. has dominated it militarily, politically, and economically for much of its recent history. Though they are U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans do not have their own voting representatives in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections (although they are able to participate in the primaries). The island's status is a topic of perennial debate, both within and beyond its shores. In...

Deep Ocean Journeys: Discovering New Life at the Bottom of the Sea
ISBN: 9780201154986 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "It is said that the seafloor is a desert, a vast and uniform wasteland, all but devoid of life. Textbooks on the shelf in my laboratory say so. But I know that is not true", writes scientist and submersible pilot Cindy Lee Van Dover in the Introduction to Deep-Ocean Journeys. Van Dover has ventured miles below surface waves to the bottom of the sea, driven by her desire to understand the complex and thriving ecosystems recently discovered near volcanic vents. These ecosystems are models for sites where life might have originated on this planet and where extraterrestrial life is speculated to...

Inter-Regional Place Branding: Best Practices, Challenges and Solutions
ISBN: 9783319382357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Today regions are in strong competition for companies, tourists, and most of all talent. In order to differentiate one region from another, regional developers, politicians and planners increasingly focus on establishing the region as a brand. This is by no means easy, since places are complex systems of geographical abstractions in which each place is understood in relation and contrast to other geographical entities. In doing so, regions not only differentiate, but also cooperate (within one country or between countries), building so-called Inter-Regional Brands with an even higher degree...
