This book is intended for the use of advanced students, research workers, and teachers in the field of petrology. Its aim is to present a unified general impression of the origin and evolution of rocks that are generally believed to have crystallized, or to have been profoundly modified, at high temperatures and at pressures such as prevail from the earth's surface to a depth of perhaps 20 km.

Ignez de Pinho Guimarães and Jefferson Valdemiro de Lima Editorial for Special Issue “Mineral Chemistry of Granitoids: Constraints on Crystallization Conditions and Petrological Evolution”

Jefferson Valdemiro de Lima, Ignez de Pinho Guimarães, José Victor Antunes de Amorim, Caio Cezar Garnier Brainer, Lucilene dos Santos and Adejardo Francisco da Silva Filho A Review of the Mineral Chemistry and Crystallization Conditions of Ediacaran–Cambrian A-Type Granites in the Central Subprovince of the Borborema Province, Northeastern Brazil

Polymeric materials, particularly in the form of geosynthetics and fibres, have brought a transform‑ative impact on construction, revolutionizing ground infrastructure and environmental protection over the past few decades. With their diverse compositions, geosynthetics provide sustainable, efficient, cost‑effective, eco‑friendly, and energy‑saving solutions to a wide range of challenges. Their proper use enhances durability, reduces resource consumption, and minimizes environmental impact.

After a 20-year hiatus, we are pleased to bring you the 2nd Edition of Fundamentals of Groundwater. Like its predecessor, the book is written at an introductory level to facilitate learning and teaching, while maintaining appropriate rigor. Not surprisingly, much has changed with this edition in terms of its look and feel and importantly the content. Most obvious is the use of color in many figures throughout the book. As the book progressed, the dearth in high-quality colored figures and photographs in traditional journal articles became obvious. Fortunately, here in the United States, groundwater-related documents and reports of the U.S. Geological Survey represent a valuable treasure of high-quality graphical material.

Книга представляет собой систематизированный об-зор исследований, относящихся к перспективному жаропрочному материалу — графиту. С большим зна-нием дела показано современное состояние проблемы, собраны разнообразные данные о графите. Рассмотрены вопросы строения кристаллической решетки и процессы, происходящие в ней при графитизации; механические, тепловые и электрические свойства графита; влияние облучения на различные свойства графита; структура связей в графите; магнитная восприимчивость; окислы графита, их структура и физико-химические свойства; реакции графита с газами и др. В большой количестве таблиц и графиков приведен справочный материал.
Книга является ценным пособием для научных работ-ников и инженеров, работающих в области создания новых жаропрочных материалов на основе графита, а также для профессорско-преподавательского состава и студентов химико-технологических вузов.

This book has grown from my lecture notes for a ten-week graduate class. It is intended for students and professionals who want to know how to derive some of those familiar equations and formulas in hydrogeology. Demonstrated with numerous examples, the book compiles various means for solving differential equations. All problems in this book have been re-solved, and in many cases new solutions are provided. Step-by-step procedures are given when a method is introduced. Readers of other disciplines may find that the methods presented here are also applicable to their fields of interest. 

A remarkable prehistoric site has recently been excavated tn Yorkshire, known as Paddock Hill, Thwtng or simply Thwtng (National Grid Reference TA 030706). It consists of a later neoltthtc-earlter Bronze Age henge monument that was converted into a hillfort tn the later Bronze Age ( 1200 be). The longevity of occupation, over a millennium, gtves rise to a continuous sequence of ceramics from Grooved Ware and Beaker pottery to post DeverelRimbury ceramics. 
In southern England there ts a twenty-five year tradition of analysing ceramics from archaeological excavations, out Yorkshire ts not so fortunate. The complexities of glacial drift have, to a large extent, precluded the use of thin section petrology, and this project was conceived as an attempt to investigate the feasibility of ustng petrological anafysis to provenance prehistoric pottery in a complex geological area. <...>

The book presents the geological evolution of the Baltic Sea area from the late Pleistocene, throughout the Holocene up to the modern times. A very detailed evolution of the Baltic Sea has been presented for the area of the Polish basin. Calculated by the author on the basis of geological research, the climatic cycle of the Earth allows better understanding of climatic changes and associated geological processes in the last 20,000 years on the area of the northern Poland and the Baltic Sea Basin. 

This book brings together a group that has over many years researched various aspects of the evolution and paleobiology of the synapsids. Many of us have collaborated in our research endeavors, and all of us have at some stage shared information and had many hearty discussions about the biology of our distant relatives.
The book comprises eleven chapters. The first two chapters provide an introduction to the predecessors of mammals and their relatives, and an assessment of the ancient world in which they radiated. The opening chapter sets the scene, providing a guide of “who” the synapsids were and how they are related to one another. In this chapter, Tom Kemp provides an up to date assessment of the radiation of the synapsids from their earliest pelycosaur members, to the diverse nonmammalian therapsids, and later to the increasingly more mammal-like cynodonts. All this is done from a global perspective <...>

В работе с помощью комплексных биостратиграфических исследований обоснована стратиграфия триаса, юры и мела Западной Сибири и предложен новый вариант стратиграфической схем& этих отложений, в котором дано уточнение возраста наунакской, в а ртов с кой, мегионской и других свит, а также продуктивных пластов группы Ю и Б. Установлены локальные стратиграфические несогласия, имеющие важное значение для понимания истории развития региона в мезозойское время и условий формирования неструктурных залежей нефти и газа.
Рассмотрены методические аспекты биостратиграфических исследований - использование геохимических данных в стратиграфии и палеогеографии, изучение стенок фораминифер с применением растрового электронного микроскопа.
