Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Secrets of the Moon: Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface provides a unique account of the origin of key features on the lunar surface. Containing historical accounts and the latest observations from the field in addition to exciting data from the Apollo manned missions it describes the development of our current understanding of our Moon. It also explores the fracturing of the Moon a topic not explored in other literature in the area and contains a statistical treatment of the smaller craters of the Moon as well as a geological treatment of the larger craters. This moderately technical account is designed to clarify and update the general thinking on the nature and origin of the most important lunar surface features for both undergraduate and research students. It may also be read by the professional scientist especially the astronomer and the geologist who has found little time to study the Moon’s topography in addition to the lunar amateur astronomer and even the dedicated layman with a keen interest in lunar science. The book excludes nearly all mathematical symbols in order to remain accessible to those without a formal education in the area. Key Features: Authored by an expert in the area Presents a comprehensive account of the lunar surface from historical observations to the NASA Apollo manned missions and the latest observations and data in the field Includes a statistical and geological treatment of the craters Dr. Gilbert Fielder is Reader Emeritus at Lancaster University United Kingdom. He performed extended teaching at Lancaster University on Planetary Science and introduced a new degree course on Remote Sensing. Prior to this he was Principal Investigator in NASA’s Heat Capacity Mapping Programme while continuing to head the Lunar and Planetary Unit at Lancaster until retirement. Dr. Fielder has authored several books and presented many BBC and ITA television news programmes as well as popular programmes with Sir Patrick Moore (on the BBC’s The Sky at Night) and on the occasion of the first landing of astronauts on the Moon with David Frost as Chairman in a special programme. | Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field

The transition in anthropological and biomedical research methods over the past 50 years from anthropometric and craniometric measurements to large-scale microarray genetic studies has resulted in continued revision of opinions and ideas relating to the factors and forces that drive human variation. Human Variation:From the Laboratory to the Field brings together the contributions of 22 scientists working in four continents to identify and address challenges imposed by variability. It reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation paying specific attention to genetics growth and development and physiology. In presenting new evidence and findings it also discusses current developments in methodology and analytical techniques detailing both field and laboratory approaches and looking at how the two perspectives complement each other. In bridging that gap between laboratory trials and studies of the human in context this book covers a number of interesting research areas including — Human adaptation to natural and artificial light including variations in circadian photosensitivity and effects of light on GI activity Cold tolerance and lifestyle in modern society Genetics of body weight and obesity Human adaptability to emotional and intellectual mental stresses Geography migration climate and environmental plasticity as contributors to human variation Impact of natural environmental stressors including pollution on physiological and morphological processes This book is the latest volume in a series of works from the Society for the Study of Human Biology (SSHB) which for half a century has advanced and promoted research in the biology of human populations in all of its branches including human viability genetics human adaptability and ecology and evolution. It holds two scientific meetings a year. This volume represents work presented during its most recent gathering. | Human Variation From the Laboratory to the Field
