Title: A Geographical and Historical View of the World: exhibiting a complete delineation of the natural and artificial features of each country, etc.Publisher: British Library, Historical Print EditionsThe British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom. It is one of the world's largest research libraries holding over 150 million items in all known languages and formats: books, journals, newspapers, sound recordings, patents, maps, stamps, prints and much more. Its collections include around 14 million books, along with substantial additional collections of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 300 BC.The GENERAL HISTORICAL collection includes books from the British Library digitised by Microsoft. This varied collection includes material that gives readers a 19th century view of the world. Topics include health, education, economics, agriculture, environment, technology, culture, politics, labour and industry, mining, penal policy, and social order. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Urban Climate aims to summarize analytical studies directed toward physical understanding of the rural-urban differences in the atmospheric boundary layer. Attempts to quantify conditions have met with some success. There is certainly a clear understanding of the physical relations that create the climatic differences of urbanized areas. Although some of the earlier classical studies are cited here, the emphasis is on the work done during the last decade and a half. This volume comprises 11 chapters, beginning with an introductory chapter discussing the literature surrounding the topic, its historical development, and the problem of local climate modification. The second chapter presents an assessment of the urban atmosphere on a synoptic and local scale, and examines the observational procedures involved. The following chapters then go on to discuss urban air composition; urban energy fluxes; the urban heat island; the urban wind field; models of urban temperature and wind fields; moisture, clouds, and hydrometeors; urban hydrology; special aspects of urban climate; and finally, urban planning. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of meteorology, urban planning, and urban climatology.

Centre and Periphery consists of ten essays in political geography by such distinguished contributors as Owen Lattimore, Paul Claval, Stein Rokkan and Jean Laponce. They apply the centre/periphery model to such topics as America′s place in the global system, regionalism in Italy, and the periphery as source of change. A substantial introduction and conclusion by Jean Gottmann provide a framework for these essays demonstrating the potential of the centre/periphery model for more fully integrating the political and geographical perspectives. ′The choice of centre and periphery as a theme around which to organize the papers is a happy one...All of these essays are preceded and followed by two thoughtful contributions by Professor Gottmann, who offers some challenging ideas concerning the nature of political geography and its relationship to politics.′ -- The Geographical Journal, Vol 148 (1982), Pt 1

Many years have passed since the last edition of the present book was published. The discovery during this period of many new reagents has resulted in a vast accumulation of data on their application and made this completely revised edition necessary. Numerous new tests and various new chapters have been added. Chapters 3,4 and 5 of the fifth edition have been combined into one chapter, which is divided into sections devoted to the elements. These sections are arranged in alphabetical order to make for easier location of information on a given element. To further improve the usefulness of the volume, a reference list has been provided for each sub-section followed by a biography of the appropriate quantitative methods.

El aumento de la actividad humana en general, ha provocado un incremento en la contaminacion. Este cambio en las caracteristicas fisicas, quimicas y biologicas, tanto del aire, como de la tierra y el agua va afectando cada vez de forma mas apremiante a las propias condiciones de la vida humana.

The existence of coherent excitations in active biological systems has been established in recent years. The present book aims at presenting a survey on the many features that such ex citations can exhibit. This does not mean that a "theory of biology" has been established but it implies that such a theory will make use of such excitations. It is hoped that the present book will help in this direction.
