Product Description
Field work, supplemented by laboratory studies, is acornerstone for the geological sciences. Even with the advent ofremote sensing techniques that enable geoscientists to interpret manyfeatures using high-altitude or space photography, visits to the fieldare still required for the purposes of ground truthing. It isessential that geologists become familiar with field methods in theirspecial area of interest. And it is also important for those workingin laboratories to have at least rudimentary knowledge of fieldconditions and sampling procedures because these often affect, eitherdirectly or indirectly, interpretation of lab data. This volume provides an introduction to general field work throughselected topics that illustrate specific techniques and methodologies.One hundred and twenty-three main entries prepared by leadingauthorities from around the world deal with aspects of explorationsurveys, geotechnical engineering, environmental management. fieldtechniques, mapping, prospecting, and mining. Special efforts were made to include topics that consider aspects ofenvironmental geology in particular those subjects that involve fieldinspections related to, for example, the placement of artificialfills, sediment control in canals and waterways, the geologic effectsof cities, or the importance of expansives soils to environmentalmanagement and engineering. In addition, some widely ranging topics dealing with legal affairs,geological methodology, the scope and organization of geology, reportwriting, and other concepts, such as those related to plate tectonicsand continental drift, provide a necessary perspective to the arena offield geology. Geared to the practicing geologist, this encyclopedia offers acomprehensive summary and review of accepted, tried-and-true fieldpractices. Topics are arranged in alphabetical order and entries arecross-referenced both in the body of the text and at the end of eacharticle. Cross-references to related subjects in other volumes in theEncyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series are also included. Adetailed subject index is provided as well as an author citationindex. Numerous illustrations throughout highlight the informationpresented. For anyone who needs an introduction to the techniques and practicesof field geology, and for specialists who wish to learn more aboutunfamiliar topics or refresh their memories for detailed applications,The Encyclopedia of Field and General Geology is an unmatchedone volume guide. ...

Product Description
This volume was originally published in 1983. It is concerned with the features of and the laws governing the occurrence of water in the interior of the Earth. Special attention is paid to the origin of the water in the interior of the Earth, the manner in which it moves and its changes of state. The laws which govern the distribution of groundwater are examined from the position of an understanding of the hydrogeological structure and the water-bearing systems. A scheme for the classification of groundwater is given based on the manner in which it is deposited. The deep-lying water and the subsurface water under the seas and oceans are examined together with the traditional subdivisions. The concluding sections are concerned with hydrogeothermics, the principles of hydrogeological zonation and the distribution of groundwater throughout the world. The basic viewpoints are illustrated by copious material from all over the world. ... Read more

Product Description
This book presents a complete development of the new structuralclassification of minerals, which is based on the internal crystalstructure, and therefore is its natural classification. Because of thelarge domain of the mineral kingdom, this book is divided in threevolumes, where the minerals are ordered from the structurally simpleto the more complex.
This work will be of particular interest to teachers and researchworkers in Mineralogy, and also in Inorganic Crystal Structures inuniversities. ... Read more

Product Description

This book presents the second volume of a complete development of the new structural classification of minerals, which is based on the internal crystal structure, and is therefore its natural classification. Because of the large domain of the mineral kingdom, this work is divided into three volumes, in which the minerals are ordered from the structurally simple to the more complex.

Audience: This work will be of particular interest to teachers and research workers in mineralogy, and in inorganic crystal structures in academia.

Main ideas in computing
Here, I am also commenting on the Supplements to this book, which the publisher periodically issues.

The encyclopedia is excellent for a broad discussion of the hardware and software in computing. It has to regularly come out with Supplements because of the ongoing improvments in the field. All the major contributors to computing are discussed, with a good synopsis for each, explaining his or her bailiwick. The treatment is about 50-50 between hardware and software. The articles tend to discuss the main ideas, and the encyclopedia and its supplements should not be seen as even an attempt at a summary of vendors' offerings.

If you are new to computing and want a general introduction, try consulting articles here. Professionals in computing will already have specialised texts in their subfields, and may not really need this book. ... Read more

Product Description
This is part of a science scheme for pupils aged 14 to 16 years who are taking modular science courses. The series is designed to help in providing a balanced science course for students across the broadest central spectrum of the attainment range - Levels 4-8. It consists of full colour books which each cover a number of modules from the NEA, LEAG and MEG syllabuses. The modules are also available in packs of ten individual booklets. The teacher's resource packs which correspond to each book of modules contain activity sheets and opportunities for assessment. This pack contains ten booklets covering module 15 - Earth in space. ... Read more
