Phosphate Deposits of the World: Volume 3, Neogene to Modern Phosphorites
ISBN: 9780521034180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This text examines the environmental setting and resulting phosphorites that formed during the Miocene, one of the major and most recent phosphogenic periods throughout the geological record. Sedimentary phosphate deposits (phosphorites) are of major commercial significance, being one of the world's most important non-renewable resources, and essential in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers and phosphate based chemicals. An oceanographic perspective is provided by investigations of modern oceanic environments where phosphorites are presently forming. Together, the geologic and marine...

Trace Elements in Magmas: A Theoretical Treatment
ISBN: 9780521036344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Studying the distribution of certain elements, present in very low concentrations in igneous and metamorphic rocks, can yield important clues about the rocks' origin and evolution. Trace elements do not give rise to characteristic minerals, but their behaviour can be modelled to provide historical information about the source magma. This book brings together the essential theory required to understand the behaviour of trace elements in magmas and magma-derived rocks. It presents a wide range of models and mechanisms which explain trace element distribution. Trace Elements in Magmas provides...

Empire Forestry and the Origins of Environmentalism
ISBN: 9780521038898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Environmentalism began with the establishment of the first empire forest in 1855 in British India. During the second half of the nineteenth century, over ten per cent of the land surface of the earth became protected as a public trust. The empire forestry movement spread through India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S. and to other parts of the world. Gregory A. Barton's pioneering study views the origins of environmentalism in global perspective.

River Variability and Complexity
ISBN: 9780521040990 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Rivers differ among themselves and through time. An individual river can vary significantly downstream, changing its dimensions and pattern dramatically over a short distance. If hydrology and hydraulics were the primary controls on the morphology and behaviour of large rivers, we would expect long reaches of rivers to maintain characteristic and relatively uniform morphologies. In fact, this is not the case - the variability of large rivers indicates that other important factors are involved. River Variability and Complexity presents an interesting approach to the understanding of river...

World Geomorphology
ISBN: 9780521289658 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. World Geomorphology deals with the large scale relief features of the earth and shows how these are related to the major segments of the earth's crust known as lithospheric plates. The aim of the book is to convey an understanding of the earth's major relief features and to present a subdivision of the earth's surface in provinces which have had similar geological or geomorphological history. The book starts by presenting the reader with the basic geological column and the means of subdividing the landscape into areas with a common origin and developmental history, and gives an explanation of...

Drifting Continents and Shifting Theories: The Modern Revolution in Geology and Scientific Change
ISBN: 9780521311052 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This innovative book uses the story of how a modern science achieved its present shape and focus to introduce the question of the nature of scientific change and its philosophical analysis. The "modern revolution in geology" of the 1960s and 1970s saw the triumph of the global theory of plate tectonics, and decisive turning point in fifty years' controversy and competition first sparked in 1912 by Wegener's proposal of continenta drift. Here, Professor Le Grand interweaves a history of this episode of scientific change with reflective discussions of its historical, philosophical, and social...
