Belonging: Australians, Place and Aboriginal Ownership
ISBN: 9780521773546 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This extraordinary book explores the feelings of non-Aboriginal Australians as they articulate their sense of belonging to the land. Peter Read asks the pivotal questions: What is the meaning of places important to non-Aboriginal Australians from which the Indigenous people have already been dispossessed? How are contemporary Australians thinking through the problem of knowing that their places of attachment are also the places that Aboriginals loved--and lost? And are the sites of all our deep affections to be contested, articulated, shared, foregone or possessed absolutely?

The Seismic Wavefield: Volume 1, Introduction and Theoretical Development
ISBN: 9780521809450 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Seismic Wavefield provides a guide to the understanding of seismograms in terms of physical propagation processes within the Earth. The focus is on the observation of earthquakes and man-made sources on all scales, for both body waves and surface waves. Volume I begins with a survey of the structure of the Earth and the nature of seismic wave propagation using examples of observed seismograms. The second part provides a full development of the theoretical background for seismic waves. Volume II (to be published later) will cover local and regional seismic events, global wave propagation,...

The Existence Principle
ISBN: 9780792351887 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. When we ask whether something exists, we expect a yes or no answer, not a further query about what kind of existence, how much of it, whether we mean existence for you or existence for me, or whether we are asking about some property which it might have.
In this book, this simple requirement is defended and pursued into its various and sometimes surprising implications. In the course of this pursuit, such questions arise as Do appearances exist?' Do unknowable things exist?' Do past and future exist?' Does God necessarily exist?' This novel and non-technical approach to important...

Quantitative Thermochronology: Numerical Methods for the Interpretation of Thermochronological Data
ISBN: 9780521830577 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thermochronology, the study of the thermal history of rocks, enables us to quantify the nature and timing of tectonic processes. First published in 2006, Quantitative Thermochronology is a robust review of isotopic ages, and presents a range of numerical modeling techniques to allow the physical implications of isotopic age data to be explored. The authors provide analytical, semi-analytical and numerical solutions to the heat transfer equation in a range of tectonic settings and under varying boundary conditions. They then illustrate their modeling approach built around a large number of...
