Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites
What is unique about Richard Norton's book is that it is both a field guide to observing meteors, and also a field guide to locating, preparing and analysing meteorites. In addition to giving the reader information about observing techniques for meteors, this book also provides a fully detailed account of the types of meteorites, how and where to find them, how to prepare and analyse them. The book provides everything the amateur astronomer (or geologist!) needs to know about meteors and meteorites. It is thus the only complete book on the subject available at present.
4-D Framework of Continental Crust
"This book contains landmark papers on the processes of formation of continental crust from its beginnings in the Archean to modern processes, as well as discussions of several ancient and modern orogenic belts. The book is international in scope, with contributions from geoscientists dealing with crustal processes on five continents, and articles from more than 50 non-U.S. authors and co-authors."--Publisher's website.
Precambrian: Conterminous U.S.
This wide-ranging discussion of Precambrian rocks includes contributions from a diverse array of authors actively engaged in investigations of various aspects of U.S. Precambrian geology. Summary discussions by the editors of the five major chapters place these contributions in a logical regional framework.
Significance of Iron-rich Silicates in the Mezö-Madaras Chondrite
Several chondrules in the Mezo-Madaras chondrite contain the disequilibrium mineral assemblage: ferrous olivine--magnesian pyroxene--merrihueite (approximately (K > or = Na)2 (Fe > or = Mg)5 Si12O30) plus or minus metallic nickel-iron. The ferrous silicates in this assemblage were probably formed by introduction of FeO into an earlier igneous assemblage which consisted or enstatite or clinoenstatite, a magnesian analogue of merrihueite, and silica. Textural and chemical evidence indicate that this alteration of the chondrules took place before they were incorporated in the chondrite. (Author)
Deep Map Country
"Scholarly study of Great Plains nonfiction writers in the genre of "deep mapping", a genre that weaves together strata of narrative that includes natural history, cultural history, geography, memoir, and inter-textual material"--
Bibliography of AFCRL In-house Technical Reports
The bibliography of AFCRL in-house technical reports lists all reports issued in the existing series. In addition, appendices list reports issued from 1962 to 1964 when series designations were not used, and reports issued in now-defunct series.
Bibliography of AFCRL Publications from 1 July 1966 to 30 September 1967
This bibliography lists all in-house reports, journal articles, and contractor reports issued from 1 July 1966 to 30 September 1967. Part I lists all in-house reports by the series in which they were issued; Part II lists all in-house reports, journal articles, and contractor reports by the Laboratory responsible for their preparation. In Part I, the reports are listed numerically by series; in Part II, in-house reports and journal articles are listed alphabetically by author, and contractor reports are listed numerically by the AFCRL report number.
Cosmic Debris
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1986.
Palaeoproterozoic Supercontinents and Global Evolution
The Palaeoproterozoic era (2500-1600 Ma) is a critical period of Earth history, with dynamic evolution from the deep planetary interior to its surface environment. Several lines of geological evidence suggest the existence of at least one pre-Rodinia supercontinent, named Nuna or Columbia, which formed near the end of Palaeoproterozoic time. Prior to this assembly, there may have been an older supercontinent (Kenorland) or perhaps only independently drifting supercratons. The tectonic records of amalgamation and dispersal of these ancient landmasses provide a framework that links processes of the deep Earth with those of its fluid envelope. The sixteen papers in this volume present reviews and new analytical data that span the geological record of Palaeoproterozoic Earth. The volume is useful as a reference book for students and professional geoscientists interested in this important period of global evolution.
