Essential Soil Science: A Clear and Concise Introduction to Soil Science
ISBN: 9780632048854 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This textbook is aimed at the majority of students, who need to quickly acquire a concise overview of soil science. Many current soil science textbooks still cater for a traditional student market where students embark on three years study in a narrow discipline. The growth in modular degree schemes has meant that soil science is now often taught as self-standing unit as part of broad based degree program. Students pursuing this type of course are increasingly reluctant to purchase expensive textbooks that are too detailed and often assume a scientific background. For those opting to...

Precambrian Sedimentary Environments: A Modern Approach to Ancient Depositional Systems
ISBN: 9780632064151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The motivation for this volume came from the idea that the Precambrian is the key, both to the present, and to the understanding of the Earth as a whole. The Precambrian constitutes about 85% of Earth's history, and of that, about 3.75 billion years of Precambrian time, represented by rocks, are accessible to geoscientists. Ancient atmospheric and environmental conditions can be traced back to the time when the Earth was only about 250 million years old. Precambrian rocks supply almost 75% of important mineral resources such as Fe, Mn, Au, Pt and Cr. Many of these elements are associated with...

Historical Biogeography: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780674010598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Though biogeography may be simply defined--the study of the geographic distributions of organisms--the subject itself is extraordinarily complex, involving a range of scientific disciplines and a bewildering diversity of approaches. For convenience, biogeographers have recognized two research traditions: ecological biogeography and historical biogeography. This book makes sense of the profound revolution that historical biogeography has undergone in the last two decades, and of the resulting confusion over its foundations, basic concepts, methods, and relationships to other...
