Plate Tectonics: An Insider's History Of The Modern Theory Of The Earth
ISBN: 9780813341323 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can anyone today imagine the earth without its puzzle-piece construction of plate tectonics? The very term, "plate tectonics," coined only thirty-five years ago, is now part of the vernacular, part of everyone's understanding of the way the earth works.The theory, research, data collection, and analysis that came together in the late 1960's to constitute plate tectonics is one of the great scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century. Scholarly books have been written about tectonics, but none by the key scientists-players themselves. In Plate Tectonics, editor Naomi Oreskes has...

A History of Geology
ISBN: 9780813516660 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "By far the best short introduction to the history of geology in printor out of it, for that matter. There is simply no other one-volume introduction to the whole sweep of the history of geology that one can safely recommend to students. More than that, Gohau's perspective is refreshingly global. The English edition is more than just a translation: the Carozzis and the author have collaborated to clarify and expand the work and to include the notes omitted from the original French edition."Martin Rudwick"Gohau explains, rather than recounts. Readers will be well-served by the author's...
