В новом томе популярной детской энциклопедии «Я познаю мир» вы познакомитесь не только с вымершими обитателями нашей планеты и «живыми ископаемыми», но и с палеонтологическими методами, позволяющими установить климат прошлых эпох, измерить температуру юрского моря, реконструировать поведение и социальные отношения давно вымерших животных.

Издание богато иллюстрировано, снабжено словарем терминов и предметно-именным указателем и может использоваться как справочник, а также при написании рефератов и докладов.

The concept of Rhodes W. Fairbridge of a series of reference works, not only for earth scientists, but also for those of other disciplines wishing ready access to information about the earth sciences, has resulted in the Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences. This now fulfils an important function in the libraries of both institutions and_ individuals. As was the case for previous volumes, contributors to this volume have been asked to include not only background information for those not expert in the particular field, but also data and a bibliography that permit the various aspects of the topic to be followed up.

The Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is a complete source of information on the subject of dinosaurs, contained within the covers of a single volume. Each article in the Encyclopedia provides an overview of the selected topic to inform a broad spectrum of readers, from researchers to the interested general public.
In order that you, the reader, will derive the maximum benefit from the Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs, we have provided this Guide. It explains how the book is organized and how the information within it can be located. <...>

Mining and metallurgical engineering encompasses two major disciplines: mining engineering and metallurgical engineering. Mining engineering separates useful minerals from worthless minerals (often called gangue) or harmful minerals through processes such as mining and mineral processing, or separates multiple useful minerals to obtain raw materials for metallurgy, energy, chemical industry, building materials, and other industries. Mining in a broad sense also includes the extraction of coal, oil, and gas, but this volume mainly focuses on the mining of metal ores. Metallurgical engineering applies the principle of metallurgy to smelt, process, and ultimately obtain metallic materials necessary for human society’s production and human life from the raw materials obtained in mineral engineering.

There are two aspects of interestingness of rules that have been studied in data mining literature, objective and subjective measures (Liu, 1997; Adomavicius & Tuzhilin, 1997; Silberschatz & Tuzhilin, 1995, 1996). Objective measures are data-driven and domain-independent. Generally, they evaluate the rules based on their quality and similarity between them. Subjective measures, including unexpectedness, novelty and actionability, are user-driven and domain-dependent. A rule is actionable if user can do an action to his/her advantage based on this rule (Liu, 1997).

The field of hydrological science deals with the occurrence, distribution, movement, and properties of water on the earth. The science of hydrology holds a unique and central place in the field of earth system science, intimately linked with other water-related disciplines such as meteorology, climatology, geomorphology, hydrogeology, and ecology. Beyond basic scientific interest, water quantity and water quality have become two of the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

Geomagnetism is the study of the earth's magnetic field: its measurement, variation in time and space, origins, and its use in helping us to understand more about our Earth. Paleomagnetism is the study of the record left in the rocks; it has contributed much to our understanding of the geomagnetic field's past behavior and many other aspects of geology and earth history.
