Lessons can be learnt from the past; from time to time it is useful for practitioners to look back over the historical developments of their science. Hydrogeology has developed from humble beginnings into the broad church of investigatory procedures which collectively form the modern-day hydrogeologist’s tool box. Hydrogeology remains a branch of the over-arching science of geology and today provides analysis of the sub-surface part of the water cycle within a holistic approach to problem solving. The History of Hydrogeology, is a first attempt to bring the story of the evolution of the science of hydrogeology together from a country- or region-specific viewpoint. It does not cover history...
The work in your hand contains three main chapters, covering the chemistry of the condensed phase in the atmosphere, first, the different forms of atmospheric waters (precipitation, fog and clouds, dew), and secondly dust, now mostly termed particulate matter and, more scientifically, atmospheric aerosol. A third section treats the gases in the atmosphere. An introductory chapter covers the roots of the term atmospheric chemistry in its relations to chemistry in general and biogeochemistry as the chemistry of the climate system. Furthermore, a brief overview of understanding chemical reactions in aqueous and gaseous phase is given. It is my aim to pay respect to all persons who studied the s...
The second edition of this book presents the fundamentals of chemistry in light of their importance for the environment and environmental processes. The new edition includes updated references and a more practical approach to the topic. The comprehensive discussion is structured in three parts: introducing the theory of physical chemistry, evaluating elements and compounds, and presenting principles of environmental chemistry.
Includes reports of the museum and of the Matice česká.

Nová kniha významného popularizátora a historika vědy Karla Sklenáře se věnuje osobnosti českého básníka a učence, zakladatele vědních oborů archeologie a dějin umění u nás, Jana Erazima Vocela (1802–1871). Autor podrobně, a přitom čtivým způsobem přibližuje Vocelův život profesní, společenský i osobní včetně krátkého politického angažmá v roce 1848. Zachycuje jeho průkopnickou roli při prosazování nových vědeckých metod i zásadní organizační úsilí spjaté s Národním muzeem či Karlovou univerzitou. Monografie Karla Sklenáře je zásadním dílem pro poznání dosud poněkud nedoceněné Vocelovy osobnosti i českého (nejen) vědeckého života 19. století.
