Animals work hard to make ourworld a better place!
Animals are so much more than companions—they make amazing contributions to the planet and to the human race. Here, you'll learn about the dogs who are lending a paw to protect livestock, guide people who can't see, pull sleds and wagons, and so much more. You'll also get the scoop on the jobs other animals do, like horses who serve in the military and law enforcement, and even cats who control vermin and provide therapy to the sick and the elderly.
Loaded with lots of color photos and friendly information you can trust, the ASPCA Kids books were written by animal lovers for animal lovers—just like you. |

Within the last 25 years there has been a dramatic increasein our knowledge of the fossil record of Antarctica. Improvedaccess to the remotest parts of the continent, the advent ofoffshore drilling and intensive study of early expedition collectionshave all led to the accumulation of a vast amount of data thatstretches back nearly 600 Ma to the beginning of the Cambrianperiod. No longer can Antarctica be dismissed from our viewof the history of life on earth simply because so little isknown about it; it is fast becoming another crucial referencepoint for global palaeontological syntheses.
If, today we have an image of Antarctica as a remote, inhospitablecontinent that supports little life, we now know that such aview cannot be projected back indefinitely through time. Abundantplant and animal fossils from a variety of periods point tomuch more benign climates and immediately raise a series ofinterconnected questions: where did such organisms come from,how long did they persist, and precisely when (and how) didthey become extinct? Can our most southerly continent throwfurther light on the long-term role of climate in driving evolutionarytrends (e.g. Valentine 1967; Vrba 1985)?
It was with points such as these in mind that a mixed groupof palaeontologists, biologists, geologists and geophysicistsgathered together for an international discussion meeting onthe ‘Origins and evolution of the Antarctic biota’at the Geological Society, London on 24 and 25 May 1988 |

"The new Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia is a handsome piece of work which shows thorough and responsible attention to its subject and careful quality control. Keith Newlin, the coeditor of Dreiser Studies, has assembled a roster of contributors that includes many of the leading Dreiser scholars of this generation....The entries are notably well-written, and Newlin has delimited his topic intelligently, focusing not only on Dreiser's texts, but also on the biographical and contextual matter of Dreiser's richly varied public and personal life....[a] neatly cross-referenced compendium of information about the life and works of one of our most important authors....This volume will serve its readers very well."-American Literary Realism
Nearly 70 scholars, from well established veterans to newcomers, contribute articles relating American writer Dreiser (1871-1945). They provide general readers and specialists in Dreiser, American literature, or his period with information on people he knew, his massive body of work, themes, places he lived, editors and publishers, inspirations for.

Автор не только излагает ключевые понятия древнегреческой культуры эпохи классики, но и очень подробно и живо рассказывает о том, как жило греческое общество, на чем зиждилось его государственное устройство, военное дело, частная жизнь. Многое из того, что узнает читатель, имеет не только исторический интерес: некоторые понятия и образы классической греческой культуры стали поистине знаковыми для современной науки о человеке. |

This book presents the most recent research on the development of a reliable defense against objects that can potentially collide with the Earth. Large asteroids and comets can collide with the Earth causing severe consequences, and collisions are a random process that can occur at any time. To reduce the threat, it is necessary to understand these potentially hazardous objects |

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to space weather: the physical phenomena that result from the interaction of the sun and the planets. Physics of the Space Environment explores the basic processes in the sun, in the interplanetary medium, in the near-Earth space, and down into the atmosphere. The first part of the book summarizes fundamental elements of transport theory relevant for the atmosphere, ionosphere and the magnetosphere, then applies this theory to physical phenomena in the space environment. The book emphasizes both the fundamental physical processes and basic concepts and methods. This book is unique in its balanced treatment of space plasma and aeronomical phenomena. Students and researchers with a basic math and physics background will find this book invaluable in the study of phenomena in the space environment.
