Groundwater in the Celtic Regions: studies in hard-rock and Quaternary Hydrogeology
London: The Geological Society 2000. Geological Society Special Publication No. 182. Groundwater in the Celtic Regions: studies in hard-rock and Quaternary hydrogeology. This is the first attempt to bring together the hydrogeological issues facing Celtic regions and to describe the prevailing hydrogeological environments in these areas. Lessons from these geographical areas can be applied to solve problems in similar geological terrain elsewhere.The book covers the diverse range of hydrogeological environments that occur in the Celtic regions of Britain and Ireland. These include hard-rock aquifers of Lower Palaeozoic and Precambrian age generally dominated by fracture flow within a shallow zone of weathering; Carboniferous limestone aquifers often characterized by conduit flow in karstic systems; dual-porosity Permo-Triassic sandstone aquifers; and Quaternary deposits many of which form important shallow granular aquifers. The book addresses a number of current issues common to the Celtic regions including: groundwater protection policies groundwater management in karst aquifers groundwater development in Quaternary aquifers groundwater evaluation in data-scarce aquifers and groundwater supplies to small island communities.Readership: Hydrogeologists environmental scientists and water engineers working in the Celtic regions. Practitioners involved with solving problems in hard-rock and Quaternary hydrogeology. Suitable for postgraduates in hydrogeology and environmental science. Contents: The Celtic peoples and groundwater Introduction Groundwater in the Celtic regions Groundwater and the environment Groundwater in headwaters: hydrological and ecological significance Uisge Mèinne: mine water hydrogeology in the Celtic lands from Kernow Cornwall UK to Ceap Breattain Cape Breton Canada Groundwater protection. Groundwater protection in a Celtic region: the Irish example Groundwater protection in Scotland Groundwater vulnerability mapping in Scotland: modifications to classification used in England and Wales Groundwater management and protection in karst aquifers. Interdependence of groundwater and surface water in lowland karst areas of western Ireland: management issues arising from water and contaminant transfers Groundwater protection zone delineation at a large karst spring in western Ireland Groundwater resources and vulnerability in the Cretaceous Chalk of Northern Ireland Influent rivers: a pollution threat to Schwyll Spring South Wales Quaternary aquifers: resource evaluation and development. Shallow groundwater in drift and Lower Palaeozoic bedrock: the Afon Teifi valley in west Wales Public water supplies from alluvial and glacial deposits in northern Scotland Groundwater resources in the Quaternary deposits and Lower Palaeozoic bedrock of the Rheidol catchment west Wales Groundwater evaluation in data-scarce aquifers. Conceptual modelling of data-scarce aquifers in Scotland: the sandstone aquifers of Fife and Dumfries QSC graphs: an aid to classification of data-poor aquifers in Ireland The Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer in Northern Ireland: constraint of a groundwater flow model for resource management Modelling the potential impact of climate change on a shallow coastal aquifer in northern Scotland Groundwater exploration in rural Scotland using geophysical techniques Some case histories of geophysical downhole logging to examine borehole site and regional groundwater movement in Celtic regions Groundwater supplies to island communities.

Beckstrom, John H
Darwinism Applied: Evolutionary Paths to Social Goals
Westport CT.: Praeger 1993. In this scholarly text Beckstrom explores how discoveries in evolutionary science can help people achieve but not establish social goals. Beginning with the principle that human behavior is to some degree influenced by genetics the author considers how conduct can be modified in large population groupings using identified behavioral mechanisms. Aid-giving behavior common to human populations is established as a key factor that is fundamental to an understanding of its flip side involving abuse and neglect. The universal objectives of reducing child abuse rape incest and war are explicitly addressed as are such areas as intestate property distribution street crime reduction and the fostering or discouragement of patriotism. This book is a clear treatment of what practical implications neo-Darwinism can have for contemporary societies. 173 pp. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Ancient Marine Reptiles
San Diego CA.: Academic Press 1997. Comprehensive highly acclaimed reference text is the first book in more than 80 years devoted exclusively to fossil marine reptiles. Vertebrate evolution has led to the convergent appearance of many groups of originally terrestrial animals that now live in the sea. Among these groups are familiar mammals like whales dolphins and seals. There are also reptilian lineages like plesiosaurs ichthyosaurs mosasaurs thalattosaurs and others that have become sea creatures. Most of these marine reptiles often wrongly called "dinosaurs" are extinct. These reptilian analogs represent useful models of the myriad adaptations that permit tetrapods to live in the ocean. 501 pgs. Illustrated. Very minimal shelfwear. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Neuroethological Studies Of Cognitive And Perceptual Processes
Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1996. How do bats catch insects in the dark How do bees learn which flowers to visit How do food-storing birds remember where their hoards are Questions like these are addressed by neuroethology the branch of behavioral neuroscience concerned with analyzing the neural bases of naturally occurring behaviors.This book brings together thirteen chapters presenting findings on perceptual and cognitive processes in some of the most active areas of neuroethological research including auditory localization by bats and owls song perception and learning in birds pitch processing by frogs and toads imprinting in birds spatial memory in birds learning in bees and in Aplysia and electroreception in fish. A variety of approaches are represented such as field studies psychophysical tests electrophysiological experiments lesion studies comparative neuroanatomy and studies of development.Each chapter gives an up-to-date overview of a particular authors research and places it within the broader context of issues about animal perception and cognition. The book as a whole exemplifies how studying species and their particular specializations can inform general issues in psychology ethology and neuroscience. 329 pp. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar.
