All geologists need a broad understanding of science to understand the processes they are studying and the analytical techniques they use. In particular, geology students need to grasp the basic physics that lies behind these processes, which this book provides in plain language and simple mathematics. It also gives the reader enough background physics to allow them to make up their own minds about the validity of what they read in the scientific literature or hear. There is an emphasis on water, an essential component of geology This up-dated and revised edition of Richard Chapman's Physics...

Despite the many contributions of Hooke (1635-1703) to the new experimental science, his reputation has been eclipsed by arch-rival Sir Isaac Newton. As part of a recognition effort begun on the 300th anniversary of his death, British science historian/television science show host Chapman (Oxford) traces Hooke's life and prodigious career. While th
