Description: This introduction to planetary geology concentrates on the surface features of the planets and satellites of our Solar System. The author first discusses the primary processes that shape our planet, Earth, and the geomorphology of the objects in the Solar System. The second edition includes new information about Venus and a new chapter on Neptune. The book is beautifully illustrated with high-resolution black-and-white photographs from recent space probes and orbiting spacecraft, and with explanatory diagrams. Each chapter starts with a description of the general physiography and terrain units, then the geomorphic processes that created them are discussed. Finally a synopsis of the geologic evolution of the surface is given. The selected references at the end include original papers, review articles and books.

Description: Charming marsupials . . . ancient trees . . . spectacular landscapes. What forces of nature conspired to make Australia unique among continents? Scientists, tourists, and residents alike marvel at its surprises. Australia is Earth's time capsule, harboring geologic and biological relicts, including some of the oldest signs of life on the planet. A companion to the large-screen film of the same name, Australia: Land Beyond Time explores the continent's antiquity with more than 300 stunning color photographs of the continent and its breathtaking landforms, plants, and animals. Reg Morrison draws on the expertise of earth scientists and biologists to make sense of Australia's long history. Seventeen chapters, accompanied by timelines and maps as well as Morrison's excellent photographs, lead the reader effortlessly through Australia's four-billion-year journey. A clear presentation of the complex evolutionary processes at work on the island continent is enriched by discussions of its geography and ecology.

Description: This is the first comprehensive treatment of an important segment of the flora of California: native plants that have varying degrees of fidelity to serpentine rock and soil that make up over 1100 square miles in the Coast Ranges and the Sierra Nevada. Many of California's unique endemic plants are found nowhere else but on serpentine; over 200 species, subspecies, and varieties of native plants are restricted to some degree to serpentine. The author describes the geology, soils, and mineral nutrition of serpentines (low in normal essential nutrients, high in magnesium, iron, and toxic heavy metals, nickel, and chromium), the vegetation and flora that tolerate this inhospitable habitat, the fauna on serpentines, and management/conservation problems associated with serpentines. This is an essential guide to an important aspect of the flora of California.
