The University College of Swansea
"Founded in 1920, the University College of Swansea was the product of a long and, at times, dramatic struggle. How this movement for what was seen as a technologically-based college intended to meet the limited needs of local industry has resulted in a university college of international standing, embracing a multitude of disciplines, is the essence of this history. It is told within the context of the institution's relationship with the local community as well as its place in the broader field of British university development generally. At the same time, the emphasis is laid not only on the story of the institution, but also on the individuals who have given the University College its lifeblood and character." "Comprehensively illustrated with over 100 black-and-white illustrations, this book will prove fascinating reading for all those who are, or ever have been, involved with the University College of Swansea."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Whatever is Under the Earth the Geological Society of London 1807-2007
The Geological Society has much to be proud of in its two hundred years of history. Not only is it the oldest society of its kind in the world, but it has also seen many of the important developments in the science played out within its premises. Gordon Herries Davies has expertly and entertainingly laid out this narrative for us, steering a skilful course between the necessary facts and the anecdotes that bring these facts alive. Institutional histories can be dull affairs - a litany of minutes and memoranda - but this history suffers from no such problem. This book will appeal to the historian of science, geoscientists in all branches of the subject and anyone with an interest in the development of scientific ideas in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
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.
