The Mid-Ocean Ridges: Mountains Below Sea Level
Berlin Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag 1995. Comprehensive text presents the combination of the most recent oceanographic data with ophiolites representing fossil ocean crust obducted onto the continents by tectonic processes. The existing oceans are geologically relatively young. They formed when a large supercontinent Pangaea broke apart some 150 Ma ago. The mid-oceanic ridges are narrow belts of submarine mountains marking the boundaries between plates which are moving apart with new oceanic crust being created at the same time. Under the continents oceanic crust is subducted. The ocean bottom is an ideal location to study recent geodynamic processes on Earth. Topics covered include plate kinematics; hotspots and mantle plumes; submarine topology and exploration; ophiolites; mantle metallurgy; ridge dynamics; oceanic rocks; mantle diapirism and segmentation; expansion of rifts; etc. 200 pgs.

Making Histories and Constructing Human Geographies: The Local Transformation of Practice Power Relations and Consciousness
Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1990.

The author argues that neither the study of history nor the execution of social or cultural analysis can be divorced from human-geographical inquiry. He contends that all processes of social structuring are context dependent for they involve the unfolding of historical geographies - they simultaneously include the making of histories and the construction of human geographies. 239 pgs.

Evolutionary Algorithms in Theory and Practice: Evolution Strategies Evolutionary Programming Genetic Algorithms
Oxford UK: Oxford University Press 1996. Scholarly highly acclaimed text presents a unified view of evolutionary algorithms: the exciting new probabilistic search tools inspired by biological models that have immense potential as practical problem-solvers in a wide variety of settings academic commercial and industrial. In this work the author compares the three most prominent representatives of evolutionary algorithms: genetic algorithms evolution strategies and evolutionary programming. The algorithms are presented within a unified framework thereby clarifying the similarities and differences of these methods. The author also presents new results regarding the role of mutation and selection in genetic algorithms showing how mutation seems to be much more important for the performance of genetic algorithms than usually assumed. The interaction of selection and mutation and the impact of the binary code are further topics of interest. Some of the theoretical results are also confirmed by performing an experiment in meta-evolution on a parallel computer. The meta-algorithm used in this experiment combines components from evolution strategies and genetic algorithms to yield a hybrid capable of handling mixed integer optimization problems. 314 pgs. Illustrated. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/ . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Oxford University Press Hardcover
