ISBN: 9780412533808 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A knowledge of clay is important in many spheres of scientific endeav our, particularly in natural sciences such as geology, mineralogy and soil science, but also in more applied areas like environmental and mater ials science. Over the last two decades research into clay mineralogy has been strongly influenced by the development and application of a num ber of spectroscopic techniques which are now able to yield information about clay materials at a level of detail that previously would have seemed inconceivable. This information relates not only to the precise characterization of the...

Fluids in the Crust: Equilibrium and Transport Properties
ISBN: 9780412563201 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 323 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For much of the 20th century, scientific contacts between the Soviet Union and western countries were few and far between, and often super ficial. In earth sciences, ideas and data were slow to cross the Iron Curtain, and there was considerable mutual mistrust of diverging scient ific philosophies. In geochemistry, most western scientists were slow to appreciate the advances being made in the Soviet Union by os. Korz hinskii, who put the study of ore genesis on a rigorous thermodynamic basis as early as the 1930s. Korzhinskii appreciated that the most fun damental requirement for the...

Marine Permian of England
ISBN: 9780412610806 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is concerned almost wholly with a diverse suite of carbonate rocks that were formed near the margins of shallow tropical seas during the last 5-7 million years of the Permian period (300-251 Ma). These unique rocks, collectively known as the Magnesian Limestone, have been studied for more than 160 years and the names of some of the early workers - Geinitz, Murchison, Phillips, Sedgwick, Sorby - would grace any geological hall of fame. Despite this formidable assault, and the efforts of a host of later workers, the Magnesian Limestone still retains many of its secrets. Permian marine...

Encyclopedia of Hydrology and Water Resources
ISBN: 9780412740602 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 832 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The fresh water supplies of the Earth are finite and as the world's population continues to grow humanity's thirst for this water seems unquenchable. Intense pressure is being exerted upon freshwater resources and a lack of adequate clean water is seen as one of the most serious global problems for the 21st century. Indeed it has been said that the next war will be fought over water, not oil. Human health and the health of supporting ecosystems increasingly depends upon our ability to find, control, manage and understand water.

Anatomy of an Orogen: The Apennines and Adjacent Mediterranean Basins
ISBN: 9780412750403 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 633 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first book in English reviewing and updating the geology of the whole Apennines, one of the recent most uplifted mountains in the world. The Apennines are the place from which Steno (1669) first stated the principles of geology. The Apennines also represent amongst others, the finding/testing sites of processes and products like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, olistostromes and melanges (argille scagliose), salinity crisis, geothermal fluids, thrust-top basins, and turbidites (first represented in a famous Leonardo's painting). As such, the Apennines are a testing and learning...

Deformation-Enhanced Fluid Transport in the Earth's Crust and Mantle

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 30% discount for members of The Mineralogical Society of Britain and Ireland The movement of fluids through rocks has profound consequences for the transport of heat and matter within the Earth. Recently, considerable effort has been expended in determining the mechanisms and pathways of geological fluid flow, with much of this research concentrated on the effects of deformation on rock permeability. Although it is well known that fractures can act as conduits for fluid transport (as evidenced by abundant mineral-fined veins and sheet-like igneous intrusions), the... 30% discount for members of The Mineralogical Society of Britain and Ireland The movement of fluids through rocks has profo... |

ISBN: 9780412847202 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Partial melting occurs in a variety of geological environments, from granitic partial melts in the continental crust, to basaltic or carbonate partial melts in the upper mantle. Partial melting is the first stage of magmatism and therefore plays a role of primary importance in the chemical differentiation of the Earth and in the transport of heat to the Earth surface. This special volume contains contributions presented at the symposium Physics and Chemistry of Partially Molten Systems' of the EUG 9 meeting, held in Strasbourg, France, on March 23-27, 1997. It is intended to provide a current...

Experiencing the Past : On the Character of Archaeology
ISBN: 9780415055840 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is archaeology and why does it attract so many enthusiasts across the barriers of class and education? In Experiencing the Past, Michael Shanks presents an exploration of the character of archaeology and reclaims the sentiment and feeling which are so often lost in purely academic approaches. With the use of illustrations, he depicts the archaeologist as a skilled interpreter of cultural remains. The author debates heritage and cultural identity and considers the key concerns of archaeology in the 1990s, weighing up controversial topics such as scientific objectivity and the validity of...

This volume brings together a series of papers which define the relevance of archaeology to the study of long term change and to the understanding of our contemporary world. It re-evaluates the premises and epistemologies which underlie the study of archaeology and looks at the ways discoveries about the past have a direct bearing oncontemporary beliefs and actions. The major theoretical ideologies which have influenced archaeology since the mid-1970s are considered: functionalism, determinism, structural Marxism, world systems theory, postmodernism and postprocessual archaeology.
