Some mundane things, some appreciations, some rejoicings, some history, some criticism and some great revelations are all told interestingly in short lines. It looks like Greek and Italian languages first borrowed words from Sanskrit language which was borrowed by the English language later. Some examples are in the book.
The Absence Of A Book Of Exercises In Geology Has Been Deeply Felt By Indian Students. This Book Is An Attempt To Fill The Lacuna. It Provides Basic Training In The Principles Of Geology Along With Some Bare Facts On Many Topics. Although The Method Adopted Is Elementary, Any Student Completing The Exercises Will Profit By Getting Many Facts And Ideas Permanently Imbedded In His Or Her Mind. This Book Shows How With Simple Arithmetic And Easily Drawn Graphs, A Student Can Find The Age Of A Local Rock, Trace The Drift Of India, Estimate The Rise In The Height Of The Himalayas And Even Locate The Epicentre Of A Recent Earthquake, Thus Opening His Eyes To The Fascination Of Geology.
Dykes occur in a wide variety of geological and tectonic settings and their detailed study through space and time is imperative for understanding several geological events. Dykes are believed to be an integral part of continental rifting and when they occur as spatially extensive swarms of adequate size, they can be of immense utility in continental reconstructions and also help to identify Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). It is known that continental flood basalts and major dyke swarms have their origin related in some way to the up-rise of hot mantle plumes which may lead to rifting and eventual continental break-up. Dykes signify crustal extension and are important indicators of crustal stabilisation events, supercontinental assembly and dispersal, crust-mantle interaction and play a significant role in the delineation of crustal provinces as well as in deciphering crustal evolution events. Many economic mineral deposits of the world are also associated with a variety of dykes. The volume will provide state-of-the-art information on all aspects of dykes with emphasis on the origin, evolution and emplacement of dykes.

The process of regional-residual separation in potential field is age-old. Broadly, there are two techniques for regional-residual resolution, viz., graphical and analytical. Both the techniques have their own respective shortcomings. In this book, the authors have described the technique based on finite element method in which only eight (or twelve) nodal observed gravity values are used for the regional computation, thereby eliminating the possible contamination of anomalous fields and also the technique does not assume an explicit model and physical properties like density of rocks etc. in the regional computation. The book discusses the advantages of this technique viz., it is not site-specific; the computation is independent of any prior assumptions as to the form and depth of shallow or deeper structures; it can handle data distributed at random or on a regular grid on the map space; and the neighbouring surveys join smoothly. The book focuses on application of this new technique which has been demonstrated in different fields, such as hydrocarbon, minerals and groundwater, structural studies, earthquake and engineering studies and impact structures.
