I have been a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast. At the age of four, I created what my mother has dubbed my “first research paper”: a stack of illustrations of every different species I could find throughout the pages of my many dinosaur books.

I’ve collected dinosaur books throughout my life, and recently I embarked on a search for a very specific sort of tome: a truly comprehensive, informative, encyclopedic collection of all known dinosaurs. Needless to say, a wide variety of dinosaur-themed texts have been available throughout the years, but try as I might, I couldn’t locate any volume that really fit the bill.

The south-west Pacific Ocean is a region of isolated islands and submerged plateaus and ridges (Figure 1). The three main islands of New Zealand (North, South, and Stewart) make up the largest landmass group in the region. Schists, greywackes, and granitoids are exposed in islands on the Challenger Plateau and Chatham Rise and have been sampled in dredges on the Campbell Plateau and Norfolk Ridge, thus demonstrating their continental geological character.

Darwin’s tangled bank is the biosphere in poetic microcosm, and the “damp earth” he refers to is soil. Soil is arguably the most complex of all geological materials, a combination of mineral and organic constituents in solid, aqueous and gaseous forms, organized into a loose, porous, horizonated, plant-bearing material, that is constantly changing. It forms as a result of a complex series of interactions and feedbacks between lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and, biosphere. As the natural geological cover of most of the land surface of the earth, it is the focus of this encyclopedia.

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.
