A Practical Guide to Rock Microstructure
Rock microstructures provide clues for the interpretation of rock history. A good understanding of the physical or structural relationships of minerals and rocks is essential for making the most of more detailed chemical and isotopic analyses of minerals. Ron Vernon discusses the basic processes responsible for the wide variety of microstructures in igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic and deformed rocks, using high-quality colour illustrations. He discusses potential complications of interpretation, emphasizing pitfalls, and focussing on the latest techniques and approaches. Opaque minerals (sulphides and oxides) are referred to where appropriate. The comprehensive list of relevant references will be useful for advanced students wishing to delve more deeply into problems of rock microstructure. Senior undergraduate and graduate students of mineralogy, petrology and structural geology will find this book essential reading, and it will also be of interest to students of materials science.
Beneath Our Feet
Beneath Our Feet reveals the astounding variety and beauty of the rocks and minerals all around us. Spectacular photographs are accompanied by clear and non-technical explanations of the main processes responsible for creating rocks and minerals. This book is for everyone interested in natural history, especially those who visit museums and national parks. The book can also be used as an introductory textbook for school students, and for non-science major undergraduate students. Earth scientists will also be thrilled by the stunning collection of images.
A Mind Scarred, a Heart Damaged, a Spirit Broken
Residing in the small town in Nebraska for a little over a year now it has become a place where I call home. Diagnosed with BPD, PTSD, Major Depression, and Major Anxiety it has been a very hard and long struggle for me. Working with a therapist and psychiatrist and a support network of friends which have become a surrogate family for me; helping me to find faith and belief in myself. Still I do struggle with Self-harm among other issues. Within the pages of this book the words speak of my struggles, my ups and downs, my beliefs…and lastly…my dreams. These words which lie within these pages do not just reflect upon me but upon the global community in one way or another. May you find understanding and reflection that you are not alone.
Principles of Metamorphic Petrology
This book offers a complete introduction to the study of metamorphic rocks.
Advances in Algorithms, Languages, and Complexity
This book contains a collection of sixteen survey papers on recent developments in algorithms, formal languages, and computational complexity. These are the three areas in which Professor Ronald V. Book has made significant contributions, and the objective of the editors and the contributors is to honor Professor Book on his sixtieth birthday. Audience: Researchers and graduate students with interests in design and analysis of algorithms, in language theory, and in computational complexity.
Out of the Closets
A series of essays concerning the Gay Liberation Movement, from individuals and groups associated with the movement.
Microtectonics
Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. They are studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are therefore used by most geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations. This advanced textbook contains a large number of photographs and explanatory drawings, special chapters on related techniques, a chapter on microgauges and a simple, non-mathematical treatment of continuum mechanics with practical examples. Special terms are explained in boxes. This textbook is suited for independent use during optical studies on microstructures as a reference manual and as a manual for short courses.
The Sunburst Fire
The year is 2978. The exploration starship Sunburst is the Earth-Mars Confederation Explorer Force's new flagship, the greatest technological marvel in human history, guaranteed to open the frontier of the galaxy. Nearly a mile long, the Sunburst is like a self-contained world, and life on board is a fairy tale. When a freak accident sets the huge starship ablaze, with power out, the airlocks jammed, and communications impossible, all is chaos, and the wonderland of the Sunburst becomes a journey through hell...
