Slight browning toedges of pages through age. Wear and a couple of small tears to edge of D/J. It is little more than fifty years since man's conquest of the air can really be said to have begun, and already he is contemplating the conquest of space. Rarely in man's history can so much advance and development have been crammed into half a century, but the story of those years is not merely one of technical progress, it is one long continuous adventure, fraught with terrible dangers, and coloured by ever-present disaster and triumph. In those same years an enormous library has developed, dealing with every aspect of the air. The editors of this anthology have searched all kinds of air records and biographies and autobiographies of flyers, inventors, stunt-men, adventurers and explorers, for exciting truw-life stories of the air. Those that have been chosen present a wide variety of aerial adventure from the earliest days of flying up to the present. This is a collection of thrills and endeacours that will appeal to all who love adventure and all who love flying. 224 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

Hardcover. Condition: New. vi, 330 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps ; 26 cm. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is transforming the way earth scientists and engineers describe and interpret near-surface sedimentary environments in the field. Because of recent advances in equipment, GPR now provides continuous, high-resolution data that other geophysical investigative tools cannot achieve. GPR has proven useful in a wide array of environmental, geological, and engineering applications. Included in this book are practical guidelines for data collection and interpretation, from antennae configurations to sequence stratigraphy, together with new advances such as vertical radar profiles and 3-D GPR imaging for hydrocarbon reservoir modeling, designed to assist new and veteran users to get the most from GPR. Case studies in this book detail GPR investigations in a wide array of sedimentary environments including alluvial fans, braided rivers, spits, beaches, sand dunes, lakes, bogs, and floodplains. Examples of GPR investigation applied to stratigraphic correlation problems in Holocene, Pleistocene, and ancient sediments; hydrocarbon reservoir modeling; and detection and mapping of contaminants, reservoir infilling, land mines, and fault displacements are included.
