Extinction: How Life on Earth Nearly Ended 250 Million Years Ago - Updated Edition
ISBN: 9780691165653 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some 250 million years ago, the earth suffered the greatest biological crisis in its history. Around 95 percent of all living species died out--a global catastrophe far greater than the dinosaurs' demise 185 million years later. How this happened remains a mystery. But there are many competing theories. Some blame huge volcanic eruptions that covered an area as large as the continental United States; others argue for sudden changes in ocean levels and chemistry, including burps of methane gas; and still others cite the impact of an extraterrestrial object, similar to what caused the...

Geomechanics of Failures
ISBN: 9789400793972 / Angielski / Miękka / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The main goal of this introductory text is to demonstrate how basic concepts in Soil Mechanics can be used as a forensic tool in the investigation of geotechnical failures. This, in turn, provides a good opportunity to show how to use available procedures in the formulation of useful simple models. Geotechnical failure is understood here in a broad sense as the failure of a structure to function properly due to a geotechnical reason. Some of the geotechnical failures selected are well known for their impact on the geotechnical community. Others are closer to the author s experience. They have...

Material Cycling of Wetland Soils Driven by Freeze-Thaw Effects
ISBN: 9783642429187 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Freezing and thawing of soils is a common phenomenon in the winter-cold zone. The thesis titled "Material Cycling of Wetland Soils Driven by Freeze-Thaw Effects" systematically explores the freeze-thaw effects on the accumulation and release processes of carbon and nitrogen in wetland soils, which is a good step toward the investigation of biogeochemical processes in wetlands in seasonal freeze-thaw areas. It is also developing strategies aimed at global warming effects on the accumulation and release of carbon and nitrogen in wetlands. Dr. Xiaofei Yu works at the Northeast Institute of...

Probing the Sky with Radio Waves: From Wireless Technology to the Development of Atmospheric Science
ISBN: 9780226274393 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By the late nineteenth century, engineers and experimental scientists generally knew how radio waves behaved, and by 1901 scientists were able to manipulate them to transmit messages across long distances. What no one could understand, however, was why radio waves followed the curvature of the Earth. Theorists puzzled over this for nearly twenty years before physicists confirmed the zig-zag theory, a solution that led to the discovery of a layer in the Earth s upper atmosphere that bounces radio waves earthward the ionosphere.In Probing the Sky with Radio Waves, Chen-Pang Yeang...

The Paleobiological Revolution: Essays on the Growth of Modern Paleontology
ISBN: 9780226275710 / Angielski / Miękka / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Paleobiological Revolution chronicles the incredible ascendance of the once-maligned science of paleontology to the vanguard of a field. With the establishment of the modern synthesis in the 1940s and the pioneering work of George Gaylord Simpson, Ernst Mayr, and Theodosius Dobzhansky, as well as the subsequent efforts of Stephen Jay Gould, David Raup, and James Valentine, paleontology became embedded in biology and emerged as paleobiology, a first-rate discipline central to evolutionary studies. Pairing contributions from some of the leading actors of the transformation with...

"Die Empfindung, mit welcher ich dieses Buch den deutschen Geographen und Ethnographen ubergebe, hat nichts mit der Beklommenheit zu tun, die in so manchen Vorreden ihr bekummertes Dasein fuhrt. Und doch ist mir die grosse Freude der Vollendung keineswegs ungetrubt. Wohl lasst jeder Blick in unsere geographischen Lehr- oder Handbucher das menschliche Element der Geographie, sei es ethnographischer, statistischer oder politisch-geographischer Natur, in alter Fulle und Bedeutung uns entgegentreten; aber die wissenschaftliche Geographie hat sich mit wachsender Vorliebe dem geologischen...

Mathematical Methods for Geophysics and Space Physics
ISBN: 9780691170602 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Graduate students in the natural sciences--including not only geophysics and space physics but also atmospheric and planetary physics, ocean sciences, and astronomy--need a broad-based mathematical toolbox to facilitate their research. In addition, they need to survey a wider array of mathematical methods that, while outside their particular areas of expertise, are important in related ones. While it is unrealistic to expect them to develop an encyclopedic knowledge of all the methods that are out there, they need to know how and where to obtain reliable and effective insights into these...

Our Once and Future Planet: Restoring the World in the Climate Change Century
ISBN: 9780226333403 / Angielski / Miękka / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The environmental movement is plagued by pessimism. And that s not unreasonable: with so many complicated, seemingly intractable problems facing the planet, coupled with a need to convince people of the dangers we face, it s hard not to focus on the negative
But that paints an unbalanced and overly disheartening picture of what s going on with environmental stewardship today. There "are" success stories, and "Our Once and Future Planet" delivers a fascinating account of one of the most impressive areas of current environmental experimentation and innovation: ecological restoration....
