Download or read book Controversy in Victorian Geology written by James A. Secord and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secord gives a dazzlingly detailed account of this scientific trench warfare and its social consequences. One ends up with a marvellous feeling for the major taxonomic enterprises in Darwin's younger day: mapping, ordering, conquering 'taming the chaos" of the strata. All of these of course had social and imperial ramifications; and Secord mentions geology's moral appeal (in supporting a divinely-stratified Creation) to a beleaguered elite intent on subduing the lower orders. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A YOUNG WARLORD ARISES Arthur, at age fifteen, has won a great battle between British and Saxon forces, seizing the day from his own supreme commander, Ambrosius Aurelianus. This his first battle win inspires the young Arthur to begin his rise to take full control of Britain's armies with the aid of his first cousin, Medraut, the son of Lot, Uthyr's Pendragon's younger brother. Yet Arthur's rise becomes Bedwyr's greatest challenge: Prince Bedwyr, called the Fox, and Arthur's foster-brother, is the narrator of 'The Silurian' series, and it is through his eyes, through his power and passion, that the great saga of Arthur's life in seen and told. Yet life with the charismatic Arthur is not always easy for the Fox-for Arthur is a challenge in himself. And when Arthur's power rises, Bedwyr's life begins a downward slide into rebellion, and he leaves on a lone path of confusion to fight his inner demons, to find who he really is as his great friend and foster-brother rises higher and higher-high enough for the young Arthur to face his own father, Uthyr, in battle for the right to fly the Red Dragon banner of the Pendragon Warlords. Arthur's battles will one day make Bedwyr the Fox a hero, if only he can stand firm as Arthur's first man, his shield-bearer and brother-in-arms; stand to tell the tale of The Silurian in his own passionate words.

Download or read book Silurian Reefs of Gotland written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1971-01-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swedish island of Gotland, in the Baltic, has attracted much attention of many geologists. Gotland is built up by a Middle Palaeozoic table-land, with an average height of 20-30 m, but with some higher hills in the inland and with steep cliffs along part of the coast. The Middle Palaeozoic strata consist primarily of limestones and marlstones. For a good understanding of the sedimentary succession of Gotland, it is important that the distribution of all the different kinds of sediments should be carefully mapped, and their faunal contents to be intensively studied. This book includes the survey and ideas gathered along with important data about the stratigraphy and reefs of Gotland. It presents description of the Baltic area, development of the stratigraphical subdivision of the Middle Palaeozoic of Gotland, and some tectonic and pseudo-tectonic phenomena. Stratified and unstratified sediments are presented along with a number of palaeoecological observations on Gotlandian fossils. Some comparisons of the reefs of Gotland with reefs in a few other areas are also examined.
Download or read book The Silurian Book 4 The One Armed Warrior written by L.A. Wilson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silurian, Book Four: The One-Armed Warrior BROTHERS DIVIDED Returned to the Clan Bear on the eve of a massive Saxon invasion, the Fox is now High Prince of Gwynedd. He is re-united with Arthur, and about to face a far greater challenge than anything gone before--time to face a battle that will bring great loss along with its glory in victory. This loss changes the Fox forever. For this is the cost of being Arthur's most powerful warrior, as Arthur himself pays a terrible price for his invincible power. Even Medraut, Arthur's embattled cousin, loses to his father, Lot; and loss binds the three men in a way they have never known before. And yet it is Bedwyr's loss that seals their future fates. As the Fox struggles to survive this loss, as Arthur gives up what he loves to stay at Bedwyr's side, in the end, their struggles divide them once again; as the Fox rises, he falls; as he is re-united, he is torn from the Bear's side by his own wild pain, for what is one warlord's loss, is another's gain. From what Bedwyr had once escaped, he now returns to win battles of his own. A force to be reckoned with, the Fox heals himself with the aid of a simple blacksmith, and here again, becomes Arthur's greatest friend and champion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silurian, Book Three: LONGHAND, WHITE-TOOTH, AND THE FOX A GREAT PRINCE ARISES The Fox is taken prisoner by the Dynasty of Cadwallon Longhand, and his cruel and ambitious brother, Owen White-tooth, both of the powerful clan of the Gwynedd Gododdin, who seek to keep Arthur from rising to take absolute rule of Britain as Imperator. The Men of Gwynedd force the Fox into the army of Cadwallon Longhand to fight for the Hound Clan, where he is used in the hope of thwarting any further rise of Arthur's power, for only Bedwyr knows how Arthur fights and wins, only Bedwyr knows the Silurian's heart and way, and for it, Longhand imprisons the Fox in his stronghold of Rhos: here Bedwyr is forced to marry into the Dynasty of Longhand and White-tooth, here he is abused and beaten. Away from Arthur's battles, the Fox's journey is arduous. And it is here, separated from his beloved foster-brother that Bedwyr becomes a powerful prince and warrior in his own right: a man that other warlords fight over to gain for themselves the power of the Fox's sword-arm. But Bedwyr is sworn only to Arthur, and he waits for the inevitable day when Arthur invades Gwynedd with his army to claim back his lost brother.

Download or read book Paleozoic Stratigraphy and Resources of the Michigan Basin written by G. Michael Grammer and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Michigan Basin is a classic intracratonic basin that has played a significant role in the fundamental understanding of geological processes in such basins, and has been an important resource for oil and gas, economic minerals, groundwater, and coal. Despite the classic nature of the Michigan Basin, there has not been a "special volume" dedicated to the basin in nearly 25 years. Since that time, new advancements in the geological sciences, particularly the utilization of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and three-dimensional geostatistical modeling, have led to a new and more comprehensive understanding of the Paleozoic sedimentary packages of the Michigan Basin. This volume provides significant new insights of the Michigan Basin to both academic and applied geoscientists; it includes papers that discuss various aspects of the sedimentology and stratigraphy of key units within the basin, as well as papers that analyze the diverse distribution of natural resources present in this basin.

Book excerpt: The Silurian Tales Volume 1 The 400-Million-Year Itch, Volume 1 of The Silurian Tales, represents the first volume of a master work by one of the SF genre's greatest short story writers. The stories in Steven Utley's Silurian Tales have appeared in Asimov's, Analog, SciFiction, F&SF, and Cosmos, and have been beguiling readers with glimpses of prehistoric life since the mid-1990s. These tales have been described by Brian Stableford in Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia as " t]he most elaborate reconstruction of a past era in recent speculative fiction." The series employs a variety of literary techniques in recounting the adventures and misadventures of a scientific expedition in the Paleozoic Era and also address some implications of the "many-worlds" hypothesis in quantum physics; several of the stories have been reprinted in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies and the Year's Best SF edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer.
