Geography is a system of highly developed sciences about the environment. Geographical science embracing the study of the Earth's physical phenomena, people and their economic activities has always been in need of an extensive terminology. Geographical terms are related to the terms of natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.) and humanities (history, economics, sociology, etc.) since geography is based on these fundamental subjects.

Geography includes a number of disciplines and subdivisions which appeared along with the development of the science In spite of being very different geographical disciplines have some common tools of investigation which is maps, comparative method of exploration, remote sensing, geoinformation systems.

Microtectonics
Springer | December 15, 2005 | ISBN-10: 3540640037 | 366 pages | PDF | 30.46 MB

This book deals with descriptions and interpretations of small-scale structures in deformed rock, as seen … through an optical microscope. The text fills a valuable niche, as many textbooks on structural geology do not discuss microscopic aspects of deformation … . The book is extremely well illustrated with some 322 figures … . The book explains basic principles in a simple form with considerable references, enabling the reader to obtain more in-depth information … . I recommend it as an addition to any geologist’s bookshelf.

Making of the Earth: Geological Forces That Shape Our Planet

Making of the Earth: Geological Forces That Shape Our Planet
Facts on File | November 2000 | ISBN-10: 0816042764 | 257 pages | PDF | 8.5 Mb

We live on a dynamic planet with diverse landforms and bodies of water and ice. The vast surface of the Earth is constantly changing. Making of the Earth provides the latest research in the study of the natural and man-made forces that influence the scope and shape of the planet. Among the topics covered are Arctic geology, coastal geography, continental formation, desert features, erosion, glacial landscapes, global tectonics, mountain ranges, riverine topography, tectonic processes, unique landforms, and volcanic terrain.

Tony Parsons, "How To Do Your Dissertation in Geography and Related Disciplines, Second Edition"

Tony Parsons, "How To Do Your Dissertation in Geography and Related Disciplines, Second Edition"
Routl.dge | 2005 | ISBN: 0415341558 | 155 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

This revised and updated edition of How To Do Your Dissertation In Geography and Related Disciplines continues to provide a detailed guide to the planning and procedures that students need to consider when preparing their dissertations in geography, environmental science and geology. Taking into account new sources, improved technology in production of the dissertation, and changes in teaching style, this text goes through each of the stages, from deciding what topic to work on, through designing the research and collecting the data, to handing in the final bound volume. With an extended consideration of different types of data (qualitative, quantitative and spatial) and a wider consideration of different approaches to problem solving the text suggests practical ways of tackling the tasks involved and locates common pitfalls associated with each.

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Wiley-VCH; 3 edition | March 22, 1999 | ISBN-10: 3527285717 | 965 pages | PDF | 68.53 Mb

The thoroughly revised new edition of this best-seller, presents the wide use of AAS in numerous fields of application. The comparison between the different AAS techniques enables the reader to find the best solution for his analytical problem.

Authors Bernhard Welz and Michael Sperling have succeeded in finding a balance between theoretical fundamentals and practical applications. The new chapter 'physical fundamentals' describes the basic principles of AAS. The development of AAS is now described in a separate chapter. Further new chapters are devoted to the latest developments in the field of flow injection and the use of computers for laboratory automation. Methodological progress e. g. speciation analysis is also covered in this new edition.

The index and the extensive bibliography make this book a unique source of information. It will prove useful not only for analytical chemists, out also spectroscopists in industry, institutes, and universities. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry will also be invaluable for clinics and research institutes in the fields of biochemistry, medicine, food technology, geology, metallurgy, petrochemistry, and mineralogy.

Dr Tom W Argles, Dr David A Rothery, Professor Robert A Spicer, and Dr Angela L. Coe, "Geological Field Techniques"
Wi-y-Black-well | 2010 | ISBN: 1444330624 | 336 pages | PDF | 31,9 MB

The understanding of Earth processes and environments over geological time is highly dependent upon both the experience that can only be gained through doing fieldwork, and the collection of reliable data and appropriate samples in the field. This textbook explains the main data gathering techniques used by geologists in the field and the reasons for these, with emphasis throughout on how to make effective field observations and record these in suitable formats. Equal weight is given to assembling field observations from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock types. There are also substantial chapters on producing a field notebook, collecting structural information, recording fossil data and constructing geological maps.

Geological Field Techniques is designed for students, amateur enthusiasts and professionals who have a background in geology and wish to collect field data on rocks and geological features. Teaching aspects of this textbook include:

step-by-step guides to essential practical skills such as using a compass-clinometer, making a geological map and drawing a field sketch;

tricks of the trade, checklists, flow charts and short worked examples;

over 200 illustrations of a wide range of field notes, maps and geological features;

appendices with the commonly used rock description and classification diagrams;

a supporting website hosted by Wiley Blackwell.
