There has long been interest in the flow of fluids through permeable aqui- fers.

This is a book about the petrology of kimberlites.

Tuzo is the never-before-told story of one of Canada's most influential scientists and the discovery of plate tectonics, a pivotal development that forever altered how we think of our planet.

After many years of geographical and bibliographical journeys, William Panczner has completed a project that many of us would have loved to initiate, but did not undertake because of its magnitude and intrinsic complexity.

Over the last several decades, the number of people who are actively involved in the hobby or science of mineral collecting has grown at an increasing pace.

In comparison with engineering, geology is a relatively new domain of know- ledge.

This book gives an account of a method of determining the type composition of sandy deposits from the air by the nature of their reflection of radiant energy.

Each gem deposit-whether of primary origin in the parent rocks; or secondary as alluvial placers in valley floors, river gravels, or the sand of oceanic shelves- presents an eloquent chronicle of the Earth's life story.

In 1866 William P.

Since early 1989, a gem dealer I've known for years has been calling me every few weeks to brief me on mounting mayhem in Colombia's lucrative emerald market.

It is a pleasure to any author to enlarge the circle of his readers.

Only a few years ago, if you needed an appraisal of The revolution in the personal property appraisals gems and jewelry for any reason, you asked your local field (of which jewelry is a part) is a little more than a jeweler, who hastily scribbled a one-line handwritten decade old.

Few knowledgeable people would deny that the field of mineral exploration is facing some difficult times in the foreseeable future.

The present work.

It has for some time been the author's opinion that the need exists for a complete, self-contained volume on hydrodynamics addressed to and written in an idiom for geologists and geophysicists actively engaged in the search for hydrocarbons.

The reserves, or extractable fraction, of the fuel-mineral endowment are sufficient to supply the bulk of the world's energy requirements for the immediately forseeable future-well into the next century according to even the most pessimistic predictions.

About 15 years ago we began the Hubbard Brook Ecosys- tem Study with the development of an ecosystem model and the conception of a method whereby some major parameters of the model could be directly measured under field conditions.

There is more to appraising jewelry than just being parable sales and a value determination.

This book is the successor to A practical introduction to optical mineralogy, which was written in the early 1980s, and published by George Allen & Unwin in 1985.

As a method of structure analysis, electron diffraction has its own spe- cial possibilities and advantages in comparison to the X -ray method for the study of finely dispersed minerals with layer or pseudolayer structures.

Some of the simpler measurements of optical mineralogy are so precise and powerful that they give satisfaction to beginning students.

Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciences about four decades ago.

The triennial International Alloy Conferences (lACs) aim at the identification and promotion of the common elements developed in the study, either experimental, phenomenological, or theoretical and computational, of materials properties across materials types, from metals to minerals.

Volcanic eruptions are fascinating manifestations of the Earth's dynamic inte- rior which has been cooling for the past several billion years.

Most of our knowledge about the physical structure and the chemical composition of the Earth's deep interior is inferred from seismic data.

I was highly flattered when I was asked by Mark Ladd and Rex Palmer if I would write the Foreword to this Fourth Edition of their book.
