Principles of Geology, Volume 2
ISBN: 9780226497976 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As important to modern world views as any work of Darwin, Marx, or Freud, Lyell's "Principles of Geology" has never before been available in paperback. In the second of three volumes, Lyell (1797-1875) continues his uniformitarian argument of Volume I the physical features of the earth are endlessly fluctuating around a stable mean but focuses on organic rather than inorganic processes. Volume II is widely known because of its influence on Darwin, who took the book on his famous" Beagle" voyage and was stimulated by Lyell's extensive treatment of biological history and diversity."

Principles of Geology, Volume 3

As important to modern world views as any work of Darwin, Marx, or Freud, Lyell's" Principles of Geology "has never before been available in paperback. In this third and final volume, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) devotes much attention to the "syntax of geology," that is, to a way of reconstructing the geological past on the basis of the "grammar" of the present processes he has described in the earlier volumes. He defines four periods of the Tertiary Newer Pliocene, Older Pliocene, Miocene, and Eocene and argues that the deposits dating from each period demonstrate the uniformity of processes...

Cartographies of Danger: Mapping Hazards in America
ISBN: 9780226534183 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. No place is perfectly safe, but some places are more dangerous than others. Whether we live on a floodplain or in "Tornado Alley," near a nuclear facility or in a neighborhood poorly lit at night, we all co-exist uneasily with natural and man-made hazards. As Mark Monmonier shows in this entertaining and immensely informative book, maps can tell us a lot about where we can anticipate certain hazards, but they can also be dangerously misleading. California, for example, takes earthquakes seriously, with a comprehensive program of seismic mapping, whereas Washington has been comparatively...

The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss
ISBN: 9780226595665 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. On dry land, most organisms are confined to the surface, or at most to altitudes of a hundred meters the height of the tallest trees. In the oceans, though, living space has both vertical and horizontal dimensions: with an average depth of 3800 meters, the oceans offer 99% of the space on Earth where life can develop. And the deep sea, which has been immersed in total darkness since the dawn of time, occupies 85% of ocean space, forming the planet s largest habitat. Yet these depths abound with mystery. The deep sea is mostly uncharted only about 5 percent of the seafloor has been mapped...

Challenging Nature, 246: Local Knowledge, Agroscience, and Food Security in Tanga Region, Tanzania
ISBN: 9780226675800 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tanga Region, Tanzania, is an area of persistent rural poverty with a long history of drought, floods, food shortages, famine, and social and economic disruption. Though farmers have been cultivating the land therefor hundreds of years, they have consistently been unable to supply adequate food for the region's inhabitants. In "Challenging Nature," Philip Porter examines eighteen farming communities to understand what the farmers there know about their environment and which historical and economic factors play into the lack of food security.

A Natural History of Time
ISBN: 9780226712871 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The quest to pinpoint the age of the Earth is nearly as old as humanity itself. For most of history, people trusted mythology or religion to provide the answer, even though nature abounds with clues to the past of the Earth and the stars. In "A Natural History of Time," geophysicist Pascal Richet tells the fascinating story of how scientists and philosophers examined those clues and from them built a chronological scale that has made it possible to reconstruct the history of nature itself.

Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections
ISBN: 9780226767475 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As long as there have been maps, cartographers have grappled with the impossibility of portraying the earth in two dimensions. To solve this problem mapmakers have created hundreds of map projections, mathematical methods for drawing the round earth on a flat surface. Yet of the hundreds of existing projections, and the infinite number that are theoretically possible, none is perfectly accurate.
"Flattening the Earth" is the first detailed history of map projections since 1863. John P. Snyder discusses and illustrates the hundreds of known projections created from 500 B.C. to the present,...

Interpreting Pre-Quaternary Climate from the Geologic Record
ISBN: 9780231102070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Within the geological science of paleoclimatology, the earth's pre-Quaternary period--more than two million years ago--has been studied systematically only since the 1960's, when geologists started to take seriously the concept that the continents have changed position on the earth's surface. In the decades since, the study of pre-Quaternary paleoclimatology has expanded greatly. A wide variety of methods have been developed to study pre-Quaternary climates, but until now, no single text has sought to synthesize those methods. Judith Totman Parrish's text offers a much-needed entry point...

How did it become the key to life in the universe? Water from Heaven presents a state-of-the-art portrait of the science of water, recounting how the oxygen needed to form H2O originated in the nuclear reactions in the interiors of stars, asking whether microcomets may be replenishing our world's oceans, and explaining how the Moon and planets set ice-age rhythms by way of slight variations in Earth's orbit and rotation. The book then takes the measure of water today in all its states, solid and gaseous as well as liquid. How do the famous El Nino...
