This study of the sedimentary activity of trace-making animals is intended as a course book for advanced students rather than a general introduction to ichnology. Unlike most books on the subject which start with a geological approach, this book starts with the organisms that create the structures that become trace fossils. The text is arranged in two parts, beginning with an examination of animal-substrate relationships in a broad spectrum of different organisms and behavioural programmes. On the basis of this neoichnological approach, the second part then takes a new look at palaeoichnology and applies biological principles to trace fossils and biogenic textures as found in sedimentary rocks.

Introducing groundwater (Special Topics in Geology)

Presented in a style intended for the non-specialist reader, with technical terms and mathematical formulae kept to a minimum, the second edition of this introduction to groundwater covers a range of topics as they relate to hydrogeology. A major new chapter focuses on pollution.

The second edition of this text has been thoroughly revised to take account of recent advances in our understanding of slope stability and instability. It begins with a consideration of slope stability processes, including the evolution of natural slopes. The behaviour of soil and rocks, and the flow of water through them, (which is of fundamental importance to their shear strength), are explained in considerable detail. The principles and techniques of stability analysis are covered in two separate chapters. From this basic theory the author develops practical design criteria for new slopes, discusses remedial measures for slope stabilization, and provides guidance on investigation of landslides. Computer programs to facilitate analysis and design are discussed where appropriate, and the book concludes with several carefully selected case histories, and design recommendations for man-made slopes.

<p>This edition of the text provides clear and readable explanations of the statistical and mathematical methods most commonly taught in quantitative courses in business studies, marketing, finance, accounting, economics and public administration. The authors make few assumptions about the readers previous knowledge and the necessary mathematics is developed within the context of each topic as it arises. There are a number of worked examples and exercises which have been added to and fully revised for the fourth edition including six new in-depth case studies. Microstats, a public domain software package, is provided in a 3.5 floppy disk included with the text. This provides an easy to use software tool and contains data sets from the cases and exercises downloaded in Excel and Lotus 123. Clear explanations for the use of Minitab, SPSS, Lotus 123 and Excel are provided within each chapter and topic.</p>
