This revised edition focuses on the latest software updates—ArcGIS® 10.0 and 10.1. In addition to its already successful coverage, the book allows students to experience publishing maps on the Internet through new exercises, and introduces the idea of programming in the language Esri has chosen for applications (i.e., Python). A DVD is packaged with the book, as in prior editions, containing data for working out all of the exercises. This complete, user-friendly coursebook:

• Introduces the central concepts of GIS and topics needed to understand spatial information analysis.

• Provides a considerable ability to operate important tools in ArcGIS®.

• Demonstrates new capabilities of ArcGIS® 10.0 and 10.1.

a ground-up approach to explaining dynamic social modelling for an interdisciplinary audience.

This book provides a practical and accessible account of dynamic spatial modelling, while also equipping readers with a sound conceptual foundation in the subject, and a useful introduction to the wide-ranging literature.

It is organised around the idea that a small number of spatial processes underlie the wide variety of dynamic spatial models. Its central focus on three ‘building-blocks’ of dynamic spatial models – forces of attraction and segregation, individual mobile entities, and processes of spread – guides the reader to an understanding of the basis of many of the complicated models found in the research literature. The three building block models are presented in their simplest form and are progressively elaborated and related to real world process that can be represented using them.

Introductory chapters cover essential background topics, particularly the relationships between pattern, process and spatiotemporal scale. Additional chapters consider how time and space can be represented in more complicated models, and methods for the analysis and evaluation of models. Finally, the three building block models are woven together in a more elaborate example to show how a complicated model can be assembled from relatively simple components.

To aid understanding, more than 50 specific models described in the book are available online at patternandprocess.org for exploration in the freely available Netlogo platform.

HiStory of LifE, 5th Editionrichard cowen 978-0-470-67172-6 • 312 pp. • Softcover • 2013

This text is designed for students and anyone else with an interest in the history of life on our planet. The author describes the biological evolution of Earth’s organisms, and reconstructs their adaptations to the life they led, and the ecology and environment in which they functioned. On the grand scale, Earth is a constantly changing planet, continually presenting organisms with challenges. Changing geography, climate, atmosphere, oceanic and land environments set a stage in which organisms interact with their environments and one another, with evolutionary change an inevitable result. The organisms themselves in turn can change global environments: oxygen in our atmosphere is all produced by photosynthesis, for example. The interplay between a changing Earth and its evolving organisms is the underlying theme of the book.

The book has a dedicated website which explores additional enriching information and discussion, and provides or points to the art for the book and many other images useful for teaching. See: www.wiley.com/go/cowen/historyoflife

introduction to GEocHEMiStry: Principles and applications Kula c. Misra, University of Tennessee, USA 978-1-4051-2142-2 • 452 pp. • Softcover • 2012

This book is intended to serve as a text for an introductory course in geochemistry for under-graduate/graduate students with at least an elementary–level background in earth sciences, chemistry, and mathematics. The text, containing 83 tables and 181 figures, covers a wide variety of topics—ranging from atomic structure to chemical and isotopic equilibria to modern biogeochemical cycles—which are divided into four interrelated parts: Crystal Chemistry; Chemical Reactions (and biochemical reactions involving bacteria); Isotope Geochemistry (radiogenic and stable isotopes); and The Earth Supersystem, which includes discussions pertinent to the evolution of the solid Earth, the atmosphere, and the hydrosphere.

GEocHEMiStryWilliam M. White 978-0-470-65668-6 • 668 pp. • Softcover • 2013

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of geochemistry. The book first lays out the ‘geochemical toolbox’: the basic principles and techniques of modern geochemistry, beginning with a review of thermodynamics and kinetics as they apply to the Earth and its environs. These basic concepts are then applied to understanding processes in aqueous systems and the behaviour of trace elements in magmatic systems. Subsequent chapters introduce radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry and illustrate their application to such diverse topics as determining geologic time, ancient climates, and the diets of prehistoric peoples. The focus then broadens to the formation of the solar system, the Earth, and the elements themselves. Then the composition of the Earth itself becomes the topic, examining the composition of the core, the mantle, and the crust and exploring how this structure originated. A final chapter covers organic chemistry, including the origin of fossil fuels and the carbon cycle’s role in controlling Earth’s climate, both in the geologic past and the rapidly changing present.

Geochemistry is essential reading for all earth science students, as well as for researchers and applied scientists who require an introduction to the essential theory of geochemistry, and a survey of its applications in the earth and environmental sciences.

Structural Geology of rocks and regions, third Edition relates the physical and geometric elegance of geologic structures within the Earth’s crust and the ways in which these structures reflect the nature and origin of crystal deformation through time. The main focus is on applications in regional tectonics, exploration geology, active tectonics and geohydrology. Techniques, experiments, and calculations are described in detail to offer active participation and discovery through laboratory and fieldwork.

KEy fEaturES • Uses familiar examples or analogies to

explain difficult concepts.

• Emphasis on how structural geologists think about deformed rocks.

• Completely updated with increased emphasis and focus on: Displacement and Strain; Stress and Strength; and Fault Systems.

• Provides an all new Active Tectonics chapter which describes and demonstrates the ways in which major structures and systems of structures are in fact forming today in active tectonic settings.

• Presents active tectonic settings as natural laboratories. The Aegean region and Western United states are presented as labs for extensional tectonics; California, New Zealand, and Turkey provide good examples of strike slip; and active thrusting is discussed in the context of the Himalayas, and California.
