Unlocking the Stratigraphical Record: Advances in Modern Stratigraphy
ISBN: 9780471974635 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 542 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Stratigraphy is the key to understanding the geological evolution of the earth. It provides the framework for our interpretation of the sequences of events which have shaped the earth throughout its 4600 million years of existence. It provides the timescale with which we can determine the relative order of these events, and it provides the means whereby we can calibrate this using absolute ages in years. Stratigraphy is therefore the most fundamental subject in the science of geology, and all geologists are practising stratigraphers. Traditionally, however, stratigraphy has been considered as...

Glacier Hydrology and Hydrochemistry
ISBN: 9780471981688 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The last decade has been a period of rapid advances in glacier hydrology and hydrochemistry. These have resulted from the application of new technologies to the direct observation of englacial and subglacial drainage systems via boreholes, from theoretical advances and from increased interactions between fieldworkers and modellers. This collection of papers captures the spirit of these advances highlighting new methodologies, the change in character of hydrological models from lumped conceptual models to physically based, distributed models, and the changing role of field studies in glacier...

American Empire: Roosevelt's Geographer and the Prelude to Globalizationvolume 9
ISBN: 9780520243385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An American Empire, constructed over the last century, long ago overtook European colonialism, and it has been widely assumed that the new globalism it espoused took us "beyond geography." Neil Smith debunks that assumption, offering an incisive argument that American globalism had a distinct geography and was pieced together as part of a powerful geographical vision. The power of geography did not die with the twilight of European colonialism, but it did change fundamentally. That the inauguration of the American Century brought a loss of public geographical sensibility in the United States...
