Good fore reference.......2007-01-02
Good for decorating your professional shelf (looks classy). It's also useful for being a reference. I learn a lot from it.
Do not be so convinced.......2006-11-05
This book is indispensable only because professors require it in their classes. I do not think though it is well written at all. It gives the impression of being written late at night when the authors really did not want to be writting.
I am afraid it may be the only book on Spectrochemical Methods that is general enough to cover many aspects of many different instruments.
I am going to try to find a different one before I settle on this cryptic text.
A classic reference.......2000-04-14
Ingle and Crouch have done a wonderful job in putting together a true reference text. This is a must have text for analytical chemists who need to have a concise treatment of spectrochemical analysis. They have done a wonderful job in intergrating theory with practice for a wide variety of analytical techniques. This book was indespensible as a graduate student in the late 80's and still comes in handy today!

Book Description
Calcareous nannofossils are an exceptionally important microfossil group, with their living counterparts, coccolithopores, representing one of the major components of phytoplankton in present day oceans. Their abundant fossil record and world-wide distribution has led to their rapid acceptance as one of the most important index-fossil groups in stratigraphical research.
The first two chapters of this book provide general information concerning calcareous nannofossils, including reviews of their biology and palaeobiology, and preparation and observation techniques. Chapters 3-9 are ordered stratigraphically, and present state-of-the-art summaries of calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy for each time period, with comprehensive illustrations of all taxa within a standardised classification based on the latest research into structure and biomineralization. The practical application of these biostratigraphic schemes is discussed, including comments on zones biogeography, taxonomy and evolution. This information is internationally relevant, and global correlation is discussed.
Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy is the most comprehensive atlas of this fossil group ever produced, containing 65 full page plates with over 2,000 individual photographs, together with comments concerning stratigraphic distribution and identification. Chapters on the Mesozoic contain electron microscope illustrations as well as light micrographs.
The inclusion of much recent, previously unpublished, research provides a new level of biostratigraphic resolution for a number of time periods, making the book both a valuable synthesis and a significant step forward in biogeographical research.
Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy is a comprehensive practical handbook for palaeontologists and organizations who use calcareous nannofossils in biostratigraphy, and provides a valuable practical reference work for earth scientists engaged in stratigraphic research, and those interested in palaeontology, palaeoceanography, stratigraphy and geochronology.

Description:
The transitional position of the Northern Aegean makes it an important area for studying the relation between the Mediterranean and the Eastern Paratethys. A chronostratigraphic framework has been obtained for the Late Neogene deposits along the Orphanic Gulf and in the Strimon Basin of Northern Greece by analysing calcareous nannofossil data and paleomagnetic results from eight sections. The local formations and major lithological units have been correlated with the Upper Miocene and Lower Pliocene stages. Furthermore, the obtained framework has facilitated a more detailed reconstruction of the effects of the Messinian salinity crisis on the sedimentary record. Magnetostratigraphic data from the Strimon Basin result in an age estimate of 6.3 Ma for the Dafni-Choumnikon Formation transition, between normal polarity subchrons C3An.2n and C3An.1n. Since this Late Miocene age estimate corresponds closely to estimates of the Maeotian-Pontian boundary in the Eastern Paratethys (Dacic Basin), we believe this transition from marine to brackish conditions corresponds to this latter boundary. The gypsiferous unit in the basal part of the Choumnikon-equivalent beds along the Orphanic Gulf can then be correlated with the evaporites in the Northern Aegean and the Lower Evaporites of the Mediterranean Basin. Consequently, we assume that these Northern Aegean evaporites have been deposited between 5.96 and 5.59 Ma. Freshwater deposits above the evaporites are easily traceable across the Orphanic Gulf area, as a gravel or sandstone unit topped by a travertine marker bed, and have a wide lateral continuation. Since their position is intermediate between the shallow marine gypsum/anhydrite and the more open marine clastics of the Pliocene, we argue that these beds correlate with the desiccation phase of the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. This intra-Messinian event probably occurred between 5.59 and 5.50 Ma, thus predating the Upper Evaporites or Lago Mare of the Mediterranean. A clear recognition of the Miocene-Pliocene boundary remains problematic in the Orphanic Gulf area. Nannofossil assemblages in the sections suggest a higher position of the local base of the Pliocene than indicated by the level with the first appearance of planktonic and benthic foraminifera. Discontinuous occurrences of levels containing nannofossil assemblages of Zone MNN11b-c are found between the travertine unit and the lowermost Pliocene beds, representing brief marine ingressions. The latter show that in the latest Messinian, (presumably) temporary connections of Atlantic/Mediterranean waters with the Northern Aegean Basin existed. These marine ingressions likely extended further into the Eastern Paratethys, as demonstrated by the presence of nannofossil assemblages in the Middle and Upper Pontian of the Dacic and Euxinic Basins. The events around the Miocene-Pliocene transition resulted in a fairly abrupt change from brackish to open marine conditions in a relative deep basin, which was subject to increased rates of subsidence from the onset of evaporite deposition in the Late Messinian onward.

Description:
Quantitative analyses of selected calcareous nannofossils in deep-sea sections recovered from the paleo-equatorial Pacific (ODP Leg 199) provide new information about biostratigraphy, biochronology and the evolutionary history of calcareous nannofossils across the Paleocene/Eocene transition interval. The sediment cores from ODP Leg 199 represent the first continuous Paleocene/Eocene boundary sections ever to be sampled in the central equatorial Pacific Ocean. Calcareous nannofossil assemblages are studied to document the distribution of biostratigraphically useful taxa such as Ericsonia, Discoaster, Fasciculithus, Rhomboaster and Tribrachiatus. Focus is given to the evolution of the Rhomboaster-Tribrachiatus lineage in the lower Eocene interval at Site 1215, and on the stratigraphic relationship of these taxa relative to species in the genus Fasciculithus. Critical intervals of North Atlantic DSDP Site 550 have also been re-examined. The Tribrachiatus digitalis morphotype was described at Site 550 from an interval affected by down-hole contamination, partly originating from within the Tribrachiatus orthostylus range. The T. digitalis morphotype represents an evolutionary transitional form between T. contortus and T. orthostylus, entering the stratigraphic record within the range of the former species and disappearing within the lower part of the range of the latter species. The subzonal subdivision of Zone NP10 hence collapses. Lithological and colour variability reflecting orbital cyclicity occur in the lower Eocene of Site 1215, permitting a relative astronomical age calibration of the Tribrachiatus taxa. The distinct Rhomboaster spp.-Discoaster araneus association also occurs in the paleo-equatorial Pacific Ocean, together with a marked decrease in diversity of Fasciculithus spp. Site 1220 reveals a short peak abundance of Thoracosphaera spp. just above the P/E boundary interval, which probably reflects a stressed surface water environment.

Description:
Palaeoecological changes in nannofossil assemblages in the Southern Ocean during Oligocene times are examined through high-resolution, quantitative analyses of samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 748 (Kerguelen Plateau). We quantitatively characterized the palaeoecological preference of groups of species and compared their general trends with those determined at Maud Rise (ODP Sites 690 and 689) (Persico, D., Villa, G., 2004. Eocene-Oligocene calcareous nannofossils from Maud Rise and Kerguelen Plateau (Antarctica): palaeoecological and palaeoceanographic implications. Marine Micropaleontology 52, 153-179). We then attempt a correlation between the main assemblage variation and sea-surface temperature (SST) changes in the Southern Ocean at this time. Relatively stable, cool conditions are interpreted to have persisted from earliest to late Oligocene times, when an increase in abundance of temperate-water taxa is recorded, both at Maud Rise and Kerguelen Plateau, before the Mi-1 event. This reveals a climatic event that probably involved both sites, and which is comparable to that indicated by the global oxygen isotope curve ([Miller, K.G., Wright, J.D., Fairbanks, R.G., 1991. Unlocking the Ice House: Oligocene-Miocene oxygen isotopes, eustasy, and margin erosion. Journal of Geophysical Research, 96, 6829-6848; Zachos, J., Pagani, M., Sloan, L., Thomas, E., Billups, K., 2001. Trends, rhythms, and aberrations in global climate 65 Ma to present. Science, 292, 686-693.]). In the uppermost Oligocene at Site 689, the temperate-water taxa index ([temperate/temperate+cool]*100) increases from 25.2 Ma. Similarly, at Site 748, the temperate-water taxa index indicates an increase in SST in the late Oligocene, from about 26.5 Ma, at the base of Chron C8n.2n, which is offset by about 1 m.y. between the two areas. The reason for this time difference can probably be found in the location of Site 748 with respect to Site 689, and in the palaeoceanographic setting, taking into account that Site 748 lies north of a deep water passage that separates Kerguelen Plateau from Antarctica, and north of the present day front of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The presence of warm-water taxa, exclusively at Site 748, corroborates this hypothesis.

Description:
The mid-Pliocene was an interval of subtle reorganisation within the nannoplankton community, including the prominent and biostratigraphically important last occurrences of Sphenolithus abies and Reticulofenestra pseudoumbilicus. The transition is part of the Pliocene to Recent 'attrition' of nannofossil species that resulted from changes in the distribution of trophic resources, and deep-water and surface-water current systems, likely associated with the initiation of Northern Hemisphere glaciation. The extinctions of Sphenolithus abies and Reticulofenestra pseudoumbilicus were analysed in detail at ODP Sites 659, 662, and 926 in the equatorial and subequatorial Atlantic. These taxa show significantly different patterns of duration and timing of decline based on high-resolution abundance records and calibration with oxygen isotope stratigraphy. The initiation of abundance decline between 3.71 and 3.67 Ma and the extinction of S. abies between 3.56 and 3.52 Ma are diachronous. This extinction may have been a response to the intensification of glacial intervals at this time. In contrast, the last occurrence of R. pseudoumbilicus at 3.81-3.82 Ma appears to be a valid example of biostratigraphic (although not necessarily biological) synchrony in the fossil record. Direct environmental forcing is not attributable for the extinction of R. pseudoumbilicus; however, indirect physical and/or biological environmental stress may explain the observed patterns.

Book Description
Green Alligator Shoes was written with a great deal of love and fondness. The short stories give you a glimpse of life in the 1940's and 1950's after World War II. They happened in the Boston area to a child who was a descendent of Italian immigrant grandparents. The family still hung on to the old ways of saving money by growing their own food and farm animals. Summers were spent in the family's backyard garden, weeding and watering. The family preserved all that was grown in the summer and ate it in the winter. Chickens were fattened up all summer and became frozen overnight in the fall. Grapes on the vines were pressed into wine and barreled. Aunts and uncles all participated in the festivities. The grandparents ideas and customs, having lived through the depression, contrasted with the younger generation. The grandchildren did not have any idea of what hunger was and thought Grandma and Grandpa were old-fashioned. Why grow food when you could buy it in the supermarket? Wasn't it a lot easier to get your chicken wrapped up in plastic at the super-market?
