Carbon in the Geobiosphere
Springer 2006; US$ 219.99Covers the fundamentals of the biogeochemical behavior of carbon near the Earth's surface, in the atmosphere, minerals, waters, air-sea exchange, and inorganic and biological processes fractionating the carbon isotopes, and more. This book is intended for Earth and environmental scientists. more...
Superplumes
Springer 2007; US$ 99.99This book provides a concise overview of our understanding of the entire mantle, its evolution since early differentiation and the consequences of superplumes for earth surface processes. The balanced, international authorship of the eighteen contributions has produced a state-of-the-science report on the emerging concept of superplumes and has documented... more...
Sustainable Management of Natural Resources
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99This book demonstrates and develops the quantitative and formal links between sustainability issues, decision and precaution problems in the management of natural resources. Applied concerns include fisheries, agriculture, biodiversity, exhaustible resources and pollution. The book aims at combining economic and ecological dimensions through an integrated... more...
The Ore Minerals Under the Microscope
Elsevier Science 2008; US$ 400.00This is a very detailed colour atlas for ore/opaque minerals (ore microscopy) with the main emphasis on: name and synonyms, mineral group, chemical composition, information about major formation environment, optical data, reflection colour/shade comparison with 4 common/standard minerals of a similar colour or grey shade, up to 5 high-quality photos... more...
Applied Geophysics in Periglacial Environments
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 64.00This practical guide demonstrates the successful application of geophysical techniques in periglacial environments through international field studies. more...
Modelling Environmental Dynamics
Springer 2008; US$ 189.99Modelling environmental dynamics is critical to understanding and predicting the evolution of the environment in response to the large number of influences including urbanisation, climate change and deforestation. Simulation and modelling provide support for decision making in environmental management. The first chapter introduces terminology and provides... more...
Designing Green Landscapes
Springer 2008; US$ 189.99Von Gadow and Pukkala??'s unique, Designing Green Landscapes, presents the latest thinking in adaptive management for forest ecosystems.

Analogue and Numerical Modelling of Sedimentary Systems
Wiley 2009; US$ 169.95Understanding basin-fill evolution and the origin of stratal architectures has traditionally been based on studies of outcrops, well and seismic data, studies of and inferences on qualitative geological processes, and to a lesser extent based on quantitative observations of modern and ancient sedimentary environments. Insight gained on the basis of... more...
Clay Mineral Cements in Sandstones
Wiley 2009; US$ 230.00Clay minerals are one of the most important groups of minerals that destroy permeability in sandstones. However, they also react with drilling and completion fluids and induce fines migration during hydrocarbon production. They are a very complex family of minerals that are routinely intergrown with each other, contain a wide range of solid solutions... more...
