Volcanotectonics : understanding the structure, deformation, and dynamics of volcanoes / by Gudmundsson, Agust,author.(CARDINAL)865673;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Volcanotectonic structures -- Volcanotectonic deformation -- Volcanotectonic earthquakes -- Volcanotectonic processes -- Formation and dynamics of magma chambers and reservoirs -- Magma movement through the crust : dike paths -- Dynamics of volcanic eruptions -- Formation and evolution of volcanoes -- Understanding unrest and forecasting eruptions -- Appendices."Volcanotectonics is comparatively new scientific field that combines various methods and techniques of geology and physics so as to understand the structure and behaviour of polygenetic (central) volcanoes and the conditions for their eruptions. More specifically, volcanotectonics uses the techniques and methods of tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, and physics to collect data on volcanoes, as well as to analyse and interpret the physical processes that generate those data. The focus is on processes responsible for periods of volcanic unrest, caldera collapses, and eruptions"--

Herpetology : an introductory biology of amphibians and reptiles / by Zug, George R.,1938-(CARDINAL)292843; Caldwell, Janalee P.(CARDINAL)813308; Vitt, Laurie J.(CARDINAL)328129;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 539-595).Amphibians -- Origin and evolution of amphibians -- Reptiles -- Origin and evolution of reptiles -- Diet and feeding -- Defense and escape -- Modes of reproduction and development -- Dynamics of reproduction -- Spacing, movements, and orientation -- Homeostasis: air, heat, and water -- Population structure and dynamics -- Population and species interactions -- Systematics: theory and practice -- Caecilians and salamanders -- Frogs -- Turtles and crocodilians -- Lizards, amphisbaenians, and tuataras -- Snakes.Publishers description: Herpetology, Second Edition has been thoroughly revised. The text has been reorganized, new chapters have been added, new text references have been inserted. All this plus new color systematics sections will maintain this book as the leading textbook on the biology of amphibians and reptiles. The book will also showcase reptiles and amphibians as model systems in conceptual areas of biology. Such a text will help integrate herpetology as a discipline into conceptually oriented undergraduate programs. The book should also appeal to a large audience of sophisticated lay people interested in reptiles and amphibians. * Written by internationally recognized experts on the biology of amphibians and reptiles. * Provides a general background on the evolution and morphology of amphibians and reptiles. * Details what is known about reproduction and life histories. * Examines physiological ecology, emphasizing water balance, temperature, and energy. * Integrates population and community ecology with conservation biology. * Provides detailed taxonomic accounts of all higher taxa, including high quality distribution maps and color photographs.
Subjects: Herpetology.;
