Il futuro della Terra è scritto nella Luna. Come liberarsi dalle bufale del clima, prevedere il tempo che verrà e preparasi ad una nuova era glaciale
brossura Sotto i nostri occhi scorre la storia climatica del pianeta Terra tra alternanza di periodi caldi e freddi. "Il signore di venti e correnti", il jet stream, o corrente a getto della libera atmosfera, riveste un ruolo decisivo nei mutamenti climatici. Altri due elementi essenziali entrano a far parte della storia del clima: i poli e i vortici artico e antartico che giocano un ruolo importante per la penetrazione delle masse d'aria fredde verso sud, per equilibrare lo scarto termico fra le alte e le basse latitudini. Ma quale forza regola le variazioni di velocità e di direzione nel tempo e nello spazio della grande circolazione generale dell'atmosfera? Un interrogativo che ha alimentato da sempre risposte insolute e che trova la sua verità dall'astro che ha sempre affascinato e incuriosito il genere umano: la Luna, "la signora" da cui dipendono i destini climatici mondiali. E la Luna a pesare in maniera decisiva sul jet stream per la sua forza gravitazionale e rappresenta la chiave di volta di tutto il processo climatico. Edizione aggiornata.

Maggioni Monica
Dentro la guerra
br. Unica giornalista italiana al seguito dell'esercito americano, Monica Maggioni ha vissuto per settimane insieme ai soldati americani in Iraq. Ha indossato come loro la rigida e pesantissima tuta di protezione contro gli attacchi chimici, come loro spesso non ha dormito o non si è lavata, e ha mangiato per giorni le razioni K. Tutto questo per essere dentro la guerra, dal punto di vista di chi la vive in prima persona, in prima linea. Ed è il punto di vista di una donna in un mondo tenacemente maschile, che racconta, tra viaggi in camion o in elicottero, tra le sabbie e il cielo, il volto più autentico della guerra: non soltanto la battaglia, ma anche la forza e la fragilità, la paura e le speranze dei tanti giovani che la combattono e che sognano di tornare presto a casa, vivi.

Mahaney, W C, Editor
Ice on the Equator: Quaternary Geology of Mount Kenya East Africa
Sister Bay Wisconsin U.S.A.: William Caxton Ltd 1990. Apparent First. Hard Cover. Very Good /No Jacket. 386 pages incl. bibliograpgy; VG has p o name and Ex Libris written inside front cover otherwise unmarked very nice solid copy in light green cloth-covered boards trace of reading/handling wear. From the author's foreword: "This book is based on fifteen years of environmental research on Mount Kenya one of the principal high mountains of East Africa. The Mount Kenya Quaternary History Project started when I began to gather published and unpublished information on all the East African mountains and developed what turned out to be a lengthy correspondence and collaboration with other East African specialists. I selected Mount Kenya for a detailed glacial geological/environmental survey because it is one of the highest mountains in East Africa with an extensive .Afroalpine zone and a lengthy geologic history spanning the whole of the Quaternary Period. What I originally intended to be a three to five year project slowly lengthened to a decade and now shows no sign of terminating. The Mount Kenya Quaternary History Project which I have directed since 1970 is fortunate to have numerous collaborators in different parts of the world many of whom have never seen the mountain. Yet these associates continue to produce new and exciting information in many different disciplines." This book surveys a long glacial and periglacial sequence on Mount Kenya its geological and environmental settings sequences of paleosols and their significance in understanding the multiplicity of glaciations. In addition it provides a discussion of relative and absolute age-dating methods used to refine the stratigraphy and interpret the paleoclimate under which deposits evolved over the last two million years. At this time new information on Mount Kenya becomes available almost daily as samples are processed in laboratories in Africa Europe and North America and as as old data are viewed in novel ways within the light of this knowledge. The next decade will see the development of a refined time- stratigraphy for Mount Kenya that will provide even more precise information on the sequence and timing of geologic events that continue to shape one of the most imposing and beautiful places on earth. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. <br/><br/> William Caxton Ltd hardcover

Amsterdam: Chez l'honore et fils libraires 1748. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 2 vols. in one. 8vo. I: 10 cxix 7 208 pp. 1 f. "Errata" for Tom. 1. II: 2 231 pp. 1 f. "Addition" 1 f. "Errata" for Tom 1 sic. First title page with unobtrusive paper defect on lower margin not affecting text; this copy is lacking half-title and Errata leaf for Tom. 2. Very attractive 19th-century French red glazed boards red morocco spine lettered in gilt directly two insignificant worm-holes on lower hinge leading nowhere; trifle wear to binding extremities. Completely unsophisticated. First printing of "Telliamed" in every way a remarkable book. Disguised as an Oriental fantasy it contains perhaps the earliest appearance of one of the most important of all evolution speculations namely the so-called ultra-neptunian theory: that the entire Earth was and is a marine deposit and that all life on land originated from creatures of the sea. Maillet hypothesized that the earth was once entirely covered with water and that the water gradually evaporated into space causing land masses to appear. Maillet also created an ingenious methodology to calculate the age of the Earth: he concluded that the Earth is 2 billion years old evolutionists today consider this figure to be more like 4.5 billion. It is known that Buffon Lamark Cuvier and Darwin read this book and that they were very much influenced by Maillet's unorthodox heretical views. Well aware that such an immense figure would incur the wrath of the Church de Maillet presented his conclusions in the guise of a dialogue between a French missionary and an Eastern mystic named Telliamed i.e. de Maillet spelled backwards. The manuscript remained unpublished until a decade after Maillet's death. In order to present his radical conclusions in the guise of an Oriental tale Maillet interspersed monsters and mythological creatures into his text. Overtly anti-Christian "Telliamed" dismisses the Flood of the Old Testament as a fable because rainfall that lasted forty days would have been insignificant to submerge entire mountains. Maillet asserted that the Earth's history could not be read from the Bible but through the rocks themselves. ¶ With uncanny prescience Maillet describes how species have overlapping physical characteristics that suggested a common life origin namely the sea. Through a Oriental mystic we are told that: "The little Wings had under their Belly and which like their Fins helped them to walk in the Sea became Feet and served them to walk on Land." ¶ REFERENCES: Caillet No. 7009.

Mains, Geoffrey
The Oxygen Revolution
No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean crisp very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with light creasing to upper edge and fading to spine. 259pp. A guide book for the non-techically minded providing the essential background of facts on all aspects of our environment, against which to judge the many environmental statements put out almost every day. And this was in 1972. A comparison with today would make this a fascinating read.
