The New Catastrophism: The Importance of the Rare Event in Geological History
ISBN: 9780521483582 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rare and violent events through geological time are the theme of this readable and thought-provoking view of the Earth's history. The evidence for episodes and rare "catastrophic" happenings have been gleaned from the geological record in the author's travels all over the world. Such events are shown to dominate over the gradual and continuous processes that we see in the record of the history of the Earth. From hurricanes to episodic evolution, from colliding continents to asteroid impacts--the importance of these events are presented with many illustrations, both pictorial and anecdotal.

The Struggle for Land: A Political Economy of the Pioneer Frontier in Brazil from 1930 to the Present Day
ISBN: 9780521526005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

In his book, Joe Foweraker draws on extensive empirical research to demonstrate the dimensions and dynamics of the struggle. It is his contention that the process can only be understood in relation to the patterns of economic accumulation in the...
