Book Description
This book presents a compendium of molecular biology applications for the study of aquatic community ecology. The collection presents the diversity of approaches that have been used, and provides future directions for the study of `molecular ecology' of aquatic communities, from viruses to fish, and in aquatic systems ranging from freshwater streams and lakes to estuaries and oceans. This collection of papers will provide a useful text and resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in ecology, as well as for the researcher and educator.
Book Description
With contributions from more than 120 highly regarded geologists and geoscience educators, and an exceptional illustration program by Dennis Tasa, this user-friendly, best-selling laboratory manual focuses on the basic principles of geology and their applications to everyday life in terms of natural resources, natural hazards, and human risks. This edition of the AGI/NAGT Lab Manual in Physical Geology addresses many current technologies such as satellite technologies, atomic resolution imaging, seismic tomography, and UTM mapping and system. It also covers many current topics such as isostasy, origin of magma, modeling Earth's interior, rock cycling and plate tectonics, volcanic processes and hazards, numerical dating, GPS, UTM, floods, ground water, glaciers as barometers of climate change, dryland hazards, coastal hazards, earthquakes, Earth resources, and human risks. For anyone wishing to learn more about physical geology through practice exercises.

Terrible lab manual.......2007-02-24
I inherited this lab manual when I started teaching physical geology this semester, and I told my students to return it to the bookstore. It contains factual errors (such as referring to hornblende and other non-metallic minerals as metallic, which they are not - metallic minerals are opaque in thin section), and the pedagogy is highly questionable. In the rock and mineral sections, it relies too heavily on photographs. Students already have a tendency to want to simply match minerals and rocks to pictures, which doesn't work, and this book encourages this. The book is too much talk and not enough action. Students in a lab should be guided to work with objects, not to simply answer questions out of a book. There is too much explanation provided, with little left for students to figure out on their own. Labs should be presented to students as mysteries to be solved, and this book takes all the mystery out of everything.
Geology Prof........2007-01-06
This "lab manual" is VERY thick and far too wordy. Really, it's more of a spiral-bound textbook than a lab manual. Additionally, the lab questions appear in list format at the end of each section, so there is virtually no standardized answersheet for students to record their work on. That not only makes it harder on the students, but efficient grading is nearly impossible unless the instructor makes his/her own taylor-made answer sheets for the students to use on EACH lab. As if that weren't bad enough, the lab manual's companion web site is horrid. I am amazed that the AGI and the NAGT produced this lab manual.
Because they asked me to.......2006-11-04
I bought this book for school, since my school was out of the book and this one was cheaper. It does the job, it is probably less expensive than your school, and you can't get a used one because usually some of the pages you need are missing.
Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology.......2006-08-08
Publishers are driving me nuts with their inflated prices...they made a small number of edition #6 which was considered their best one and then let their supplies run out so that schools would have to buy their "new" one. After flipping through it, it is clear that it is nearly identical to the sixth edition lab manual. Such a waste.
Incorrect Item .......2006-01-19
I orderd one item and received something else. This item was needed for an on-line class and due to the error I am behind schedule on my class work.

Earth: Portrait of a Planet, Second Edition
ASIN: 0072530634 |
Book Description
If it's important for you to incorporate the scientific method into your teaching, this lab manual is the perfect fit. In every exercise there are scientific method boxes that provide students with insight into the relevance of the scientific method to the topic at hand. The manual also includes "In Greater Depth" problems, a more challenging probe into certain issues. They are more quantitative in nature and require more in-depth, critical thinking, which is unique to this type of manual.
Customer Reviews:
could be a textbook in its own right.......2007-04-05
I'm not sure about this. It calls itself a lab manual. Yes, it is spiral bound, with perforated pages for easy detachment, like many such manuals. Yet the text seems like that of a conventional geology book. Perhaps what really distinguishes the manual as such is the extensive problem sets. One to each chapter.
But if you want to learn geology, and do not have the accompanying Physical Geology book, you can still profitably and enjoyably read this manual. There is enough text and illustrations here to adequately convey lessons to a motivated reader.
Book Description
Designed to both supplement and complement information presented in the ESSENTIALS OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, this lab manual contains over 50 exercises. These lab exercises have a range of both length and difficulty, and were designed to help students achieve a greater understanding and appreciation of physical geography.
Book Description
This full-color lab manual, by Jim Mazzulo of Texas A&M University, provides a wide-range of activities about rock and mineral specimens, topographic maps, and aerial photography.
Book Description
This laboratory manual is written for the freshman-level laboratory course in physical geology. In this lab, students study Earth materials, geologic interpretation of topographic maps, aerial photographs and Earth satellite imagery, structural geology and plate tectonics and related phenomena. With nearly 30 exercises, professors have great flexibility when developing the syllabus for their physical geology lab course. The ease of use, tremendous selection, and tried and true nature of the labs selected have made this lab manual one of the leading selling physical geology lab manuals.
Customer Reviews:
A nice, easy-to-use lab manual.......2000-04-07
This lab manual addresses a variety of geology topics presented in a simple, easy to undertand style. Each chapter has the main concepts italicized with definitons following. It also has a glossary at the end for explaining some of the common geologic terms. Exercises are put to assist students better understand major geologic concepts. The book contains tables, diagrams, and colored pictures presented in an interesting pattern and serve as tools for visual aids. It is difinetly the lab manual you need as a non-geology major student. It also helps refreshing your baby geology information if you are a geology student. However, to get the most out of this book, you need to have some lab materials, such as, rocks, maps, etc..., available particulary for the rocks and minerals part.

Book Description
Thisbook will be of interest to mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering science and mechanics faculty. The main objective of the book is to present a mathematically rigorous approach to vibrations, one that not only permits efficient formulations and solutions to problems, but also enhances understanding of the physics of the problem. The book takes a very broad view approach to the subject so that the similarity of dynamic characteristics of vibrating systems will be understood.
Customer Reviews:
The most comprehensive graduate level vibration's book.......2001-01-22
starting with linear systems and dynamics, this book covers every single topic in the theory of vibrations. chapter 4 has a fantastic discussion of lyapunov stability.
Probably the best vibration textbook ever written........2000-04-06
Starting from SDOF discrete vibration analysis, MDOF, to distributed parameter system analysis, this book covers all important aspects in vibration analysis. In this book you can find most of the vibration analysis techniques necessary to understand the publications in this area.
Only problem is the treatment of Rayleigh quotient. This book shows the Rayleigh quotient and its properties only for discrete systems but not for continuous systems.
If this book reorganizes the topics in conservative systems versus nonconservative systems rather than discrete systems versus continuous systems, and this book is written in more general manner, it will be even more appreciated.

Customer Reviews:
Fascinating history, excellently written.......2000-10-27
Fortunately my Spanish is competent enough to have read this in the original. I might otherwise not have as much enjoyed the full yet controlled prose had I read the work in doubtless sincere translation. The fascinating theme of the Haitian revolution,Henri-Christophe and the Fortress Sans Souci, is complemented by evocative characterizations and colourful, well-balanced sentences without the purplish tendencies I had noticed in the other book of Carpentier's ("El Siglo de las Luces")that I had read.For anyone wishing to sample Spanish excellently written, I would recommend this work.
how can i be sure this is the book i'm looking for??.......1999-03-27
i don't know if this is the book i'm looking for, but how can i be sure
