Inverse Methods in Physical Oceanography
ISBN: 9780521385688 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Professor Bennett's work explores the potential for inverse theory, emphasizing possibilities rather than expedient or rudimentary applications. In addition to interpolating the data and adding realism to the model solutions, the methods can yield estimates for unobserved flow variables, forcing fields, and model parameters. Inverse formulations can resolve ill-posed modeling problems, lead to design criteria for oceanic observing systems, and enable the testing of models as scientific hypothesis. Ocean models considered range from linear, finite-dimensional systems of equality and inequality...

The West Indies: Patterns of Development, Culture and Environmental Change Since 1492
ISBN: 9780521386517 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted. Dr Watts shows how the initial European vision of a land of plenty has been replaced by an awareness of the geographic and ecological fragiliaty of the area, and...

The Iconography of Landscape: Essays on the Symbolic Representation, Design and Use of Past Environments
ISBN: 9780521389150 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Iconography of Landscape draws together fourteen scholars from diverse disciplines to explore the status of landscape as a cultural image. By applying the art-historical method of iconography--interpreting levels of meaning in human artifacts--to landscapes on paper or canvas, in literary form or on the ground, its contributors show how landscape is an important mode of human signification, informed by, and itself informing social, cultural and political issues. The range of examples is wide in terms of medium, period and place. It covers poetry and promotional literature, architectural...

An Introduction to Mineral Sciences
ISBN: 9780521429474 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The subject of mineralogy has moved away from the systematic treatment of mineral groups toward the study of the behavior of minerals in response to geological processes. It is vital that we understand the physics and chemistry of minerals as this response generally involves structural and chemical changes within individual minerals as well as reactions between minerals. This is the first text to provide an introduction to modern mineralogy for undergraduate students. The main, and often complex, concepts required to understand minerals and the processes that take place within them are...
