Un geólogo en apuros

Al hablar de relatividad se asocia de inmediato el nombre de Einstein y sus teorías. Sin embargo, nos dice el autor, la relatividad es uno de los conceptos de la física clásica: el principio de relatividad se estudia al menos desde Galileo y Newton, y se utilizó durante mucho tiempo en el campo de las partículas y de los objetos móviles. Fresnel, Maxwell, Lorentz, Poincaré y muchos más fueron quienes desempeñaron un papel en esta historia. Este libro presenta los avances que se han dado en materia de relatividad, haciendo una profunda revisión de lo que se sabía al respecto antes...

The fourth edition of "The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements" comprises all chapters in volumes 1 through 5 of the third edition (published in 2006) plus a new volume 6. To remain consistent with the plan of the first edition, “ ... to provide a comprehensive and uniform treatment of the chemistry of the actinide [and transactinide] elements for both the nuclear technologist and the inorganic and physical chemist,” and to be consistent with the maturity of the field, the fourth edition is organized in three parts. The first group of chapters follows the format of the...

The book compiles case studies regarding the biodiversity research and monitoring program of Andean species and habitats carefully chosen as indicators to assess the short- and long-term effects of a linear disturbance: the PERU LNG pipeline. Set in a scientifically unexplored region of the Andes, Monitoring Biodiversity clearly articulates the Smithsonian-led conceptual framework for the implementation in the field by scientists. It addresses scientific and conservation questions addressed by the research protocols, the experimental design, and data gathering. Moreover, the book covers a gap ...
