Book by Richardson, Bonham C.

Examines the paintings of John F. Peto in the context of American art and culture and discusses his use of color, light, and dramatic contrasts

Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, and palaeoceanography, since Marine Geology of Korean Seas was first published in 1983.This book gives a comprehensive overview of the marine geology of these unique seas, including physiography, sedimentary facies and depositional processes of surface sediments, sequence stratigraphy, geologic structures, and basin evolution.In this edition, new results and interpretations have been incorporated that help to formulate geological models on the evolution of the Korean seas in relation to the adjacent continents.

Product Description: "Physical Geology, Eleventh Edition", is the latest refinement of a classic introductory text that has helped countless students learn basic physical geology concepts for over 20 years. Students taking introductory physical geology to fulfill a science elective, as well as those contemplating a career in geology, will appreciate the accessible writing style and depth of coverage in "Physical Geology"...read more

Product Description: This text describes geological processes within the framework of plate tectonics, introducing students to the basic concepts in this constantly developing field. Recent discoveries in marine geology, geochemistry, geophysics, and planetary geology are systematically woven into discussions of traditional topics such as geomorphology, sedimentation, petrology, volcanism, and structural geology...read more

Product Description: Here is the successor to a long line of physical geology texts from Longwell, Flint and Skinner. While retaining their authoritativeness and logical organization on elementary topics (landforms, rocks, minerals), it integrates current thinking on processes (plate techtonics, chemical cycles, changes throughout geologic time)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Now in paperback, this revised and updated edition of the popular introductory physical geology text presents a broad discussion of the field written especially for non-majors. As in previous editions of Putnam's Geology, the editors have retained Putnam's readable and accessible style and excellent quality of illustrations...read more

Product Description: This full color paperback introductory text takes a non-mathematical approach to explaiing the fundamentals of physical geology while conveying the excitement of this rapidly advancing science. Plate tectonics is stressed as unifying theme and igneous geology is divided into two chapters for easier grasp of important details...read more

Product Description: Taking a process-oriented approach, this text introduces students to the nature of geology and discusses the development of internal processes. Features include: coverage of plate tectonics; boxed inserts, covering a variety of topics such as the Loma Prieta Earthquake and the recent volcanic eruptions in the Philippines; and a list of chemical elements (names and symbols) on the back cover...read more

Product Description: Physical Principles of Sedimentology is a textbook devoted to the physics of sedimentological processes. The applicability of fundamental principles, such as Newton's Three Laws of Motion, Law of Conservation of Energy, First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, and of other physical relations in hydraulics and groundwater hydrology is illustrated by discussions of natural processes which form sediments or sedimentary rocks...read more

The primary purpose of this text is to provide introductory geology students - who have had little or no science background - with a better understanding and appreciation of geology. Thompson & Turk's MODERN PHYSICAL GEOLOGY, Second Edition, stands out through its early coverage of plate tectonics (Chapter 2), the inclusion of special topic areas, and its beautiful design and writing style. It offers a complete overview of all topics in physical geology, including the most recent developments and research in areas of climate change and environmental issues.

Product Description: Provides a clear and concise path to understanding modern geology by describing the working of geologic processes and relating them to their outcomes. This new text illustrates the relevance and importance of these processes by applying basic geologic principles to everyday life, with a particular emphasis on environmental problems...read more
