Mednarodna delavnica je obravnavala geološke in biološke posledice katastrofalnih trkov z meteoriti v zgodovini Zemlje od paleozoika do danes. Posebna pozornost je bila posvečena dogodkom na kredno-terciarni meji. Zbornik je razdeljen na tri dele. V prvem delu je 52 povzetkov predavanj in prostorov. Drugi del prinaša pet preglednih člankov o geološki zgradbi zahodne Slovenije in Tržaškega Krasa ter seznam geoloških publikacij in geoloških kart Slovenije, Hrvaške in italijanskega Krasa. Tretji del je vodnik po ekskurzijah. Opisanih je šest profilov, na katerih so odkrite zgornjekredne in najstarejše terciarne plasti.
Publishers Weekly Top 10 Best of the Year In her new collection, Story Prize finalist Maureen F.

Rock features are important traces of the formation and development of karst surface. On various karren their record is especially rich, revealing to us the many factors that in diverse conditions formed the karst surface on various carbonate and other rock.We have tried to present the most characteristic rock features and through them the most important factors and processes in the formation of the karst surface, the methods of studying them, and the most outstanding examples.Forty-nine contributing authors offer a wide spectrum of content and examples of rock forms from many karst regions around the world.The first part of the book offers an orderly-organized survey and description of the most characteristic rock forms and presents the physical and chemical corrosion of rock, biocorrosion, the modeling of rock forms, their detailed morphometrics, and numerous descriptions of individual rock forms. The second part is devoted to various examples of rock forms found around the world from Slovenia through North and South America to Australia and Asia.
Obdobje 20 milijonov let, ki je sledilo opustošenju po kredno-terciarni meji in izumrtju dinozavrov, ima posebno mesto v zgodovini Zemlje. V tem času se je postopoma obnavljalo življenje z vso pestrostjo svojih oblik. Podrobno proučevanje tega obnavljanja nam daje ključ za razumevanje vzrokov, zakaj in kako je vzniknila in napredovala raznovrstnost življenja. Pričujoči zvezek je zbir zgodovinskih dokumentov, ki ilustrirajo nekatere od mnogih podob obnove.
