Jr. Paul D. Lowman,Neil A. Armstrong: Exploring Space, Exploring Earth : New Understanding of the Earth from Space Research


Description
Paul Lowman, a NASA scientist for over 40 years, describes the impact of space flight on geology and geophysics. A foreword by Neil Armstrong emphasizes that the exploration of space has lead us to a far deeper understanding of our own planet. Direct results from Earth-orbital missions include studies of Earth's gravity and magnetic fields. In contrast, the recognition of the economic and biological significance of impact craters on Earth is an indirect consequence of the study of the geology of other planets. The final chapter presents a new theory for the tectonic evolution of the Earth based on comparative planetology and the Gaia concept. Extensive illustrations, a glossary of technical terms, and comprehensive bibliography, provide geologists and geophysicists with a valuable summary of research. The book will also serve as a supplementary text for students of tectonics, remote sensing and planetary science.
Are you constantly exhausted? Following the immense success of the "Hebridean" Collecting, Managing, and Assessing Data Using Sample Surveys download ebook diaries and address books in 2005, Birlinn has decided to add a Visitor's book to this attractive range of stationery. Illustrated throughout with Mairi's beautiful watercolours of the Hebridean islands, this book would be an ideal gift, or the perfect finishing touch to a guest bedroom. From the 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich, comes the first English translation of her latest work, an oral history of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a new Russia. Bringing together dozens of voices in her distinctive documentary style, "Secondhand Time" is a monument to the collapse of the USSR, charting the decline of Soviet culture and speculating on what will rise from the ashes of Communism. As in all her books, Alexievich gives voice to women and men whose stories are lost in the official narratives of nation-states, creating a powerful alternative history from the personal and private stories of individuals.
