Science innovators reveal unique insights into a major revolution in Earth science in 14 original essays.
This title outlines the evidence that ancient life lived on a reduced gravity Earth and how this relates to an increasing mass expanding Earth.
For more than half a century the theory of continental drift was widely derided. Innovators developing the radical theory were labelled as unscientific by well-known science authorities. But then, in the space of a few years, virtually all opposition dramatically collapsed. Continental drift transformed into plate tectonics and became widely acknowledged as one of the most profound scientific revolutions of the twentieth century. Yet a number of science innovators who had been closely involved with creating this new theory of the Earth continued to research an even more radical theory. They saw evidence that the new geological theory was incomplete, arguing that continental drift was caused ...
This book looks at the circulation features of the Southern Hemisphere, both for the atmosphere and oceans. It includes observational techniques based on satellites, anchored and drifting buoys, and the research carried out at research stations in the Southern Hemisphere. The book was originally published in 1972 by the American Meteorological Society. It has been revised and updated in 1999, following the expansion of research bases and the development of research in the region at the time.
A fascinating study of the important role of biology in European expansion, from 900 to 1900.
Comprises nine papers. Discusses the way in which increasing disparities in wealth, power and security shape the contemporary world.
