The Portal
As a child, Hunter's world was torn apart by Flara and her men. With his world flung into chaos and his family torn apart, Hunter vows to himself that he will make Flara pay for what she has done. Years later, Hunter has made himself into his village's best spy and soldier, taking on their hardest missions, and is now ready to make good on his vow. He will make Flara pay. However, a recon mission in the woods has unforseen consequences, causing Hunter's world to once again be turned upside down. Will Hunter be able to survive this new upheaval?
Landscapes and Landforms of Scotland
This book provides an appealing and informative overview of the outstanding landforms and landscapes of Scotland. Scotland is internationally renowned for the diversity of its geology, landforms and landscapes. The rock record spans most of geological time, from the Archaean to the Palaeogene, and represents the outcome of tectonic plate movements, associated geological processes, and sea-level and climate changes. Scotland incorporates primeval gneiss landscapes, the deeply eroded roots of the Caledonian mountain chain, landscapes of extensional tectonics and rifting, and eroded remnants of volcanic complexes that were active when the North Atlantic Ocean opened during the Palaeogene. The p...
Scotland's Mountain Landscapes
The diversity of Scotland's mountains is remarkable, ranging from the isolated summits of the far northwest, through the tor-studded high plateau of the Cairngorms to the hills of the Southern Uplands. Colin Ballantyne explains the geological and geomorphological evolution of Scotland's mountains to form an unparalleled variety of mountain forms.
Quaternary of Scotland
In describing the geomorphological heritage of Scotland, this volume offers a remarkable account of how the natural environment responded in terms of landforms, processes and plant communities, to severe climatic change as the Quaternary era progressed over the last two million years. This legacy, as preserved in the 138 nationally important GCR sites described, documents a remarkable diversity of landforms in a relatively small area. The rugged highland contrast with the rolling hills and flat plains found further south, while the western and northern islands, together with the highly-indented coastline add further to the scenic diversity. How this variety of landscapes came into being, the forces which shaped it , and the climatic extremes which drove it, are the themes explored in this volume.
The Grifers
A sequel to the series 'The World In The Woods' follow the characters once more through life changing events that will leave all of them changed forever.
Civilization of Selm
Join Hunter and his crew go on another daring adventure as they try to restore balance to a kingdom that is being torn apart from the inside. can they protect this kingdom?
Lost Royalty
The fate of the entire kingdom rested on the shoulders of a witch, an ever-annoying crow, a reclusive orphan, a stolen princess, and the biggest klutz and worst thief in the world - what could possibly go wrong?
Quaternary Dating Methods
This introductory textbook introduces the basics of dating, the range of techniques available and the strengths and limitations of each of the principal methods. Coverage includes: the concept of time in Quaternary Science and related fields the history of dating from lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy the development and application of radiometric methods different methods in dating: radiometric dating, incremental dating, relative dating and age equivalence Presented in a clear and straightforward manner with the minimum of technical detail, this text is a great introduction for both students and practitioners in the Earth, Environmental and Archaeological Sciences. Praise from the reviews: "This book is a must for any Quaternary scientist." SOUTH AFRICAN GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL, September 2006 “...very well organized, clearly and straightforwardly written and provides a good overview on the wide field of Quaternary dating methods...” JOURNAL OF QUATERNARY SCIENCE, January 2007
The Periglaciation of Great Britain
The effects of periglaciation on the British landscape are synthesised in this 1997 text.
Periglacial and Paraglacial Processes and Environments
Periglacial and paraglacial environments, located outside ice sheet margins but responding to similar climate forcings, are key to identifying climate change effects upon the Earth system. These environments are relicts of cold Earth processes and so are most sensitive to global warming. Changes in the distribution and thickness of permafrost in continental interiors have implications for ecosystem and landscape stability. Periglacial Alpine environments are experiencing increased rockfall and mass movement, leading to rock glacier instability and sediment release to downstream rivers. In turn, these landscape effects impact on natural hazards and human activities in these sensitive and geologically transient environments.
