Una serie de trabajos que comentan en torno divulgativo, con desarrollo axhaustivo de la metodología científica, varios temas introductorios en Geología Costera: el marco dinámico de la costa de Huelva, algunos estuarios andaluces y cantabricos, la aplicacion de tecnicas de teledeteccion y ejemplos de regeneracion de playas.

Dentro de los yacimientos minerales del suroeste, la zona más importante es El Cinturón Ibérico de Piritas, que se extiende desde la provincia de Sevilla (Aznalcóllar) hasta el Alentejo (Sierra de Caveira), y alcanza su maximo desarrollo en la zona central, la provincia de Huelva. La formacion de estos minerales se acepta hoy, generalmente, como vulcano-semimentaria. Surgen por emisiones volcanicas submarinas, que depositan sobre el lecho marino gran cantidad de sulfuros. Este vulcanismo comenzaria a finales del Devonico con emisiones de rocas basicas y acidas, para terminar con una etapa de rocas piroclasticas y sulfuros. En el propio fondo marino estas formaciones volcanicas seran cubiertas por depositos de finos (pizarras) durante el Carbonifero, hasta que el movimiento hercinico pliega y hace emerger toda la zona.

Algunas de las características principales de este texto de referencia son las siguientes: presenta los conceptos fundamentales de la mecánica del suelo a personas no expertas. Ofrece información de forma ordenada y alcanza el nivel óptimo requerido en la totalidad de escuelas de ingeniería.

En la primera parte de esta obra se presenta el estado actual de los conocimientos sobre las asociaciones minerales, tanto en medios naturales (las rocas y yacimientos) como en otros sintéticos. En la segunda parte se describen exhaustivamente las caracteristicas de una poblacion de unas 600 especies minerales, acompañadas de bibliografia sobre cada una de ellas y fotografias a todo color. Estas fotografias reflejan las caracteristicas opticas sin analizador y con analizador, y a su vez, son representativas de las asociaciones minerales de la especie en cuestion.

An absolute treasure trove of sound advice and historical detail Katherine May A delightful and a profound meditation on the variety of human experience Ian Mortimer Lara Maiklem is a phenomenon She elevates trudging around in the mud to an epic gallivant through our past Dan SnowFor over two decades Lara Maiklem has been scouring the banks of the tidal Thames looking for objects lost or discarded that tell forgotten stories In this charming sequel to the bestselling Mudlarking Lara widens her search beyond the river and reflects on life lived post pandemic reminding us that it s possible to draw meaning in the most unlikely of places As she searches the foreshore through the changing seasons she is at times aided by the gentle illumination of the falling winter sun or hindered by bright summer skies and lashing rain Yet by working in harmony with the unpredictable terrain she finds solace in aligning with the elements and uncovering the treasures that are bestowed by the tide From medieval pilgrim badges and Tudor love tokens to Georgian wig curlers and Victorian pottery each passing day unearths ordinary and extraordinary objects that tell the rich story of London s past and its inhabitants A Mudlarking Year is a gentle ode to nature history and

In this book, Tal Ben-Shahar introduces a new interdisciplinary field of study that is dedicated to exploring happiness. The study of happiness ought not be left to psychologists alone. Philosophers, theologians, biologists, economists, and scholars from other disciplines have explored ways of attaining happiness, and to do justice to this important pursuit, we ought to listen to their words and experiment with their prescriptions. Not only does the field of happiness studies embrace different disciplines, it also approaches happiness as a multifaceted and multidimensional variable that includes five parts which form the acronym SPIRE:Spiritual wellbeingPhysical wellbeingIntellectual wellbeingRelational wellbeingEmotional wellbeingThis book addresses each of these elements of happiness, explains them, and addresses practical ways for their cultivation.

An overview of increasingly indispensable radiometric technologiesMicrowave radiometers have become a central part of Earth observation and radioastronomy. Most existing reference works on the subject, however, largely omit two key types of radiometers: interferometric radiometers and polarimetric radiometers. The extensive applications of these two classes of radiometer and their potential for mapping distant celestial bodies and enhancing Earth observation has made it critical for the next generation of radiometric scientists and engineers to be familiar with this technology and its principles.Principles of Interferometric and Polarimetric Radiometry meets this crucial need with a first-in-class overview of this key subject. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational concepts of microwave radiometry, it proceeds to work through a careful revision of the fields major theory and techniques, with a particular emphasis on interferometric and polarimetric systems. The result promises to revolutionize the use of microwave passive sensors for Earth observation and beyond.
