Treatise on Geophysics, Second Edition, Eleven Volume Set is a comprehensive and in-depth study of the physics of the Earth beyond what any geophysics text has provided previously.
Written in an informal manner, this account tells the incredible story of the birth of an entirely new field of science called Astrobiology-a field that is now investigating whether life might exist on other worlds.
This current updated and expanded text reflects the large number of scientific advances, both theoretically and experimentally, within the discipline of cosmoparticle physics in the last 10 years.
For junior/senior and graduate-level courses in Aerodynamics, Mechanical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering Revised to reflect the technological advances and modern application in Aerodynamics, the 6th Edition of Aerodynamics for Engineers merges fundamental fluid mechanics, experimental techniques, and computational fluid dynamics techniques to build a solid foundation for students in aerodynamic applications from low-speed through hypersonic flight.
Medical Biochemistry is supported by over forty years of teaching experience, providing coverage of basic biochemical concepts, including the structure and physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons, lipids, proteins, and nucleotides in a straightforward and easy to comprehend language.
En dépit des nombreuses missions spatiales qui lui ont été consacrées, Vénus, cachée sous une épaisse atmosphère nuageuse, recèle encore de nombreux mystères.
Sea Ice: Physics and Remote Sensing addresses experiences acquired mainly in Canada by researchers in the fields of ice physics and growth history in relation to its polycrystalline structure as well as ice parameters retrieval from remote sensing observations.
Sensors and measurement systems is an introduction to microsensors for engineering students in the final undergraduate or early graduate level, technicians who wants to know more about the systems they are using, and anybody curious enough to know what microsystems and microsensors can do.

À l'instar de Jupiter, Saturne constitue, avec son cortège de satellites, un système solaire en miniature mais, surtout, offre le spectacle somptueux de ses anneaux, découverts dès 1610 par Galilée et interprétés en tant qu'anneaux par Christiaan Huygens en 1656.

Jupiter , la plus grosse et la plus massive des planètes, constitue le centre d'un vaste système de satellites et d'anneaux étudié de près par plusieurs sondes spatiales: Pioneer-10 en décembre 1973, Pioneer-11 en décembre 1974, Voyager-1 en mars 1979, Voyager-2 en juillet 1979 , Ulysses en février.
Avant d'être un concept, la Terre fut une donnée : d'abord, la Terre nourricière – autrement dit, la « terre végétale » –, puis, la Terre où l'homme vit, par opposition à la mer, c'est-à-dire les terres émergées.
Cet ouvrage fait la synthèse de nombreuses années d'expériences en dosimétrie et techniques de protection contre l’exposition externe, aussi bien dans le domaine industriel que médical.
L'observation à l'œil nu d'un ciel constellé d'étoiles montre que celles-ci ne sont pas réparties au hasard: elles tendent à se regrouper en une longue écharpe laiteuse qui parcourt la voûte céleste d'un bord à l'autre de l'horizon, et que nos ancêtres ont appelée la Voie lactée.
Le mot marée désigne, dans son acception la plus courante, le mouvement oscillatoire du niveau de la mer résultant des attractions de la Lune et du Soleil sur les particules liquides; le phénomène est donc une conséquence de la gravitation universelle.
