Describes the surface phenomena in soils, both experiment and theory, from the point of view of modern coordinational chemistry. The topics covered include surface area and change, the structure of...

The controversy over the use of primates in research admits of no easy answers. We have all benefited from the medical discoveries of primate research--vaccines for polio, rubella, and hepatitis B...

From the simple VR games found in upscale video arcades, to the ultimate "immersion"--the CAVE, a surround screen, surround sound system that projects 3 D computer graphics into a ten-foot high...

A journey through the minds of some of the most creative people on the planet reveals that creativity is rarely a “lightbulb moment” and instead arrives through a process of making and...

"An excellent introduction, distinguished by the meticulousness of its coherent, stimulating exposition of the basic concepts that permit us to understand the great problems of perception, in their...

Written by an eminent group of international researchers, these papers consider the molecular biology underlying nitrogen fixation. They describe the enzymology, biochemical physiology, and electron...

This book discusses basic procedures for soil survey for engineering projects as an aid to engineers, planners, geologists, and other earth scientists. It will be of particular benefit to...

This book sets out the fundamental quantum processes that are important in the physics and technology of semiconductors in a relatively informal style that graduate students will find very attractive...

The significance of consciousness in modern science is discussed by leading authorities from a variety of disciplines. Presenting a wide-ranging survey of current thinking on this important topic,...

Oil spills, radioactive waste disposal, ocean dumping, and coastal reclamation and engineering, among other factors, contribute to the destruction of the marine environment, a process which evokes...

Biogeography is a diverse subject, traditionally focusing on the distribution of plants and animals at different taxonomic levels, past and present. Modern biogeography also puts emphasis on the...

The author surveys the astonishing diversity of South-East Asian wildlife, a fauna that includes 660 distinct species, representing over one-seventh of the world's wild mammals. Among them are many...

This book provides practical approaches to the efficient use of sparsity--a key to solving large problems in many fields, including computational science and engineering, where mathematical models...

Compiled from twenty-nine lists published in the Mineralogical Magazine 1897-1976, this work contains about 5500 entries collected in alphabetical order with a separate author index.

Drawing from official files, published reports, and the recollections of key individuals, this historical study recounts how conservationists--and, in particular, the Nature Conservancy--discovered...

Joe Sachs has followed up his brilliant translation of Aristotle's Physics with a new translation of Metaphysics. Sachs's translations bring distinguished new light onto Aristotle's works, which are...

Brings to advanced undergraduates and graduate students the flavor of current research in the dynamics of elementary gaseous reactions and especially the contributions to this field made by molecular...
