  • The Biosphere

    by M.A.S. McMenamin, L. Margulis, Vladimir I. Vernadsky, M. Ceruti, S. Golubic, R. Guerrero, N. Ikeda, N. Ikezawa, W.E. Krumbein, A. Lapo, A. Lazcano, D. Suzuki, C. Tickell, M. Walter, P. Westbroek ...
    Translated by D.B. Langmuir ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Long unknown in the West, The Biosphere established the field of biogeochemistry and is one of the classic founding documents of what later became known as Gaia theory. It is the first sustained expression of the idea that life is a geological force that can change Earth's landforms, its climate, and even the contents of its atmosphere. A complete, unabridged translation has never before been ... Read more

  • The Geology and Mapping of Granite Batholiths

    by John Cobbing ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book is mainly about the field geology of granites at all scales from that of a single outcrop to plutons and batholiths. All field geologists work initially at the scale of the outcrop, consequently most of the phenomena treated herein are those which are visible at outcrop scale. However, granites typically occur as plutons and batholiths, some of which are so large as to apparently defy ... Read more
