В работе монографически описаны 106 видов (в том числе 28 но-вых) позднекаменноугольных растений, приведены: точная стратиграфическая привязка залежей, описание разрезов и залежей растительных остатков.
Разработана схема стратиграфического расчленения верхнего карбона Северного Кавказа. Обосновано наличие стратиграфического перерыва между средним и верхним карбоном и положение верхней Гранины системы. Проведена корреляция разрезов верхнего карбона внутри региона и межрегиональная корреляция на флористической основе с С3 Донецкого и Сент-Этьенского (стратотипом стефанской серии) бассейнов. Даны обоснования стратиграфической и корреляционной ценности различных йитоценозов, фитоценогические и палеогеографические реконструкций.
Для стратиграйов, палеоботаников, палеогеографов, фадиологов и геологов-съемциков.

В кн. 2 (кн. 1 — 1993 г.) рассмотрены погрешности спектрального анализа конденсированных проб при использовании всех основных современных спектроаналитических источников света. Изложены состояние и перспективы корреляционного анализа таких проб.
Для студентов, аспирантов, научных и практических работников, специализирующихся в области спектрального анализа.

Geochemistry is generally considered to be one of the new and burgeoning interdisciplinary scientific fields. The evidence for such a belief is obvious. For example, the Geochemical Society is scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, but it is already a large and important international scientific organization. The very word “geochemistry” was not even included in the ten-volume Oxford Universal English Dictionary published as recently as 1937. During the Second World War and immediately thereafter, however, geochemical work was initiated at scores of universities and commercial laboratories. Thus by 1948 “geochemistry” was well enough established to be defined in The American College Dictionary as “the science dealing with chemical changes in, and the composition of, the earth’s crust.” <...>

The purpose of this book is to show how essential is geology in the planning and development of cities. Town and country planning is now accepted throughout the world as a vital public service, in place of the unorganized and uncontrolled use of land in earlier days. All such planning involves the optimum use of land so that the physical development of cities and regions may best meet the needs of people. The proper use of land—for buildings, for roads, for parks—can be achieved only if the nature of the ground and subsurface conditions is known with certainty. Since the science of geology is concerned with all aspects of the crust of the earth, the use of geological information, and of geological methods to obtain new information about local subsurface conditions, should therefore be an essential part of the physical planning of all cities. <...>

The giant outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Figure 1.1)—are by far the largest planetary bodies in the solar system and together comprise 99.56% of the planetary mass. Although very far from the Earth, the enormous physical size of Jupiter and Saturn meant that these planets were easily visible to the ancients. However, the other two “giants”, Uranus and Neptune, are significantly smaller and so much farther from the Earth that they were unknown before the advent of telescopes, although Uranus is in fact just visible to the naked eye. Uranus was discovered by accident in 1781 by William Herschel (1738-1822) (later Sir William Herschel). Perturbations in the observed orbit of Uranus led John Couch Adams (1819-1892) and Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier (1811-1877) to independently predict the presence of a further planet, and Neptune was subsequently discovered close to its predicted position by Johann Gottfried Galle (1812-1910) in 1846. The mean observable properties of the outer planets are listed in Table 1.1. <...>

In October 1975 a Short Course on Feldspar Mineralogy was held at the Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City, in conjunction with the annual meetings of the Mineralogical Society of America. Richard A. Yund, David B. Stewart, Joseph V. Smith and Paul H. Ribbe presented workshops on x-ray single-crystal and powder diffraction methods and electron optical techniques as applied to the study of feldspars and presented eight lectures, the substance of which became the nine chapters of the first edition of Feldspar Mineralogy. That book was published by the Mineralogical Society as the second volume of its series entitled "Short Course Notes". <...>
