Medical Geology is a rapidly growing field concerned with the relationship between natural geological factors and human and animal health, as well as with improving our understanding of the influence of environmental factors on the geographical distribution of health problems. This book brings together the work of geoscientists and medical/public health researchers, which addresses health problems caused, or exacerbated by geological materials (rocks, minerals, atmospheric dust and water) and processes (including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Among the environmental health problems discussed in this book are: exposure to toxic levels of trace essential and non-essential elements such as arsenic and mercury; trace element deficiencies; exposure to natural dusts and to radioactivity; naturally occurring organic compounds in drinking water; volcanic emissions, etc. The text also deals with the many health benefits of geologic materials and processes.

This book describes microbially induced sedimentary structures as new group in the Classification of Primary Sedimentary Structures. Those structures rise from the interaction of benthic microorganisms with physical sediment dynamics caused by waves and currents. We can observe the formation of those features today in modern coastal settings, where the structures are much more common than stromatolites. However, fossil structures occur since the earliest Archean, and are abundant throughout Earth history. The structures constitute a significant archive for the understanding of Earth’s earliest worlds, and are important biosignatures for the detection of life on other planets. This book is for sedimentologists, paleontologists, microbiologists, and geobiologists likewise.

В период Смуты XVII века антигосударственные, антироссийские силы впервые вышли на политическую сцену, и не просто проявили себя, а стали играть одну из ведущих ролей в общественной жизни нашего Отечества. Как появились на Руси "смутотворцы", что их роднит с многочисленными и многоликими преемниками последующих эпох, в чем причина их ненависти к собственному народу? Над этими и другими вопросами размышляет на страницах своей книги Максим Зарезин.

This groundbreaking set offers the most up-to-date international overview of key issues in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. More than 70 countries are represented, with a resource guide for each country provided. A thumbnail country map accompanies each chapter. In some regions and countries, such as the Middle East, homosexuality is taboo and not officially acknowledged as existing. Information in these areas and countries is hard to find or does not exist yet. In the West, information on LGBT issues is much more available. Yet to date, there has been no reference that covers LGBT issues worldwide - until now. The material in this set is especially needed in a cultural climate that supports and informs about LGBT populations. The content is useful for a paper on a hot topic, health classes, discussion groups, and gay/straight alliance groups. Each chapter devoted to a country offers standard coverage, which allows for comparison. The format per chapter includes the following essay sections: Overview; Education; Employment and Economics; Social/Government Programs; Sexuality/Sexual Practices; Family; Community; Law; Religion and Spirituality; Violence; and, Outlook for the 21st Century.
