LONGWELLI KNOPF and FLINT'S OUTLINES OF PHYSICAL GEOLOGY SECOND EDITION
نویسنده
چکیده
In the second revised edition of this widely used textbook, practical aspects are given particular emphasis. Two new chapters have been added-one on geology in engineering, another summarizing the subject matter of physical geology and explaining its relation to earth history. The chapter on geology in engineering, and those on minerals and mineral deposits, offer especially good material for a general geology course for engineering students. In writing this book technical terms have been omitted wherever possible, and although brevity has been a principal consideration, many explanations have actually been amplified for greater clarity.

متن کاملIntroduction to chemistry and applications in nature of mass independent isotope effects special feature.
Stable isotope ratio variations are regulated by physical and chemical laws. These rules depend on a relation with mass differences between isotopes. New classes of isotope variation effects that deviate from mass dependent laws, termed mass independent isotope effects, were discovered in 1983 and have a wide range of applications in basic chemistry and nature. In this special edition, new appl...

متن کاملGraded materials for resistance to contact deformation and damage.
The mechanical response of materials with spatial gradients in composition and structure is of considerable interest in disciplines as diverse as tribology, geology, optoelectronics, biomechanics, fracture mechanics, and nanotechnology. The damage and failure resistance of surfaces to normal and sliding contact or impact can be changed substantially through such gradients. This review assesses ...
