Cambridge University Press, 2014. Hardcover. AS NEW COPY!. MININGThis book provides an accessible guide to using the rock physics-based forward modeling approach for mapping the subsurface, systematically linking rock properties to seismic amplitude. Providing practical workflows, the book shows how to methodically vary lithology, porosity, rock type, and pore fluids and reservoir geometry, calculate the corresponding elastic properties, and then generate synthetic seismic traces. These synthetic traces can then be compared to actual seismic traces from the field: a similar actual seismic response implies similar rock properties in the subsurface. The book catalogs various cases, including clastic sediments, carbonates, and time-lapse seismic monitoring, and discusses the effect of attenuation on seismic reflections. It shows how to build earth models (pseudo-wells) using deterministic and statistical approaches, and includes case studies based on real well data. A vital guide for researchers and… Read More

Echo Publishing / Bonnier, 2017. Softcover. Very Good (Used copy). AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL HERPETOLOGY“In the early years of the twentieth century, an awareness was growing among European Australians of an unexpected threat, one that seemed to the very embodiment of the dark, ominous power of the Australian bush. To the Indigenous people of the Guugu Yimithirr nation, its was nguman; to the whites it was the taipan, an eight foot lightning fast venomous snake whose bite meant certain death. Venom is an examination of European settlers’ troubled and often antagonistic relationship with the land, seen through the lens of the desperate scramble for an antivenom, and highlighted by the story of George Rosendale, a taipan bit victim of the Guugu Yimithirr nation.”""It was said to be a giant, red-eyed, copper-coloured serpent that could lash out with the ferocity of a crocodile. Until the Wikmunkan people of the Cape York Peninsula lead naturalist Donald Thomson to a living speciman in 1933,… Read More

Buchan & Enright, 1987. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Fine. MILITARY GENERAL Beginning with the naval mutinies of the 18th century, the author examines the most telling of the many uprisings that have occurred worldwide in British and British-attached forces over some 160 years. Among the many mutinies he covers are the Spithead mutiny of 1797; the mutiny of British forces in Etaples in 1917; mutinies by the Slavo-British legion in Russia in 1919; the Navy at Invergordon in 1931, British forces at Salerno in 1943 and the Royal Indian Navy in 1946. And with all of them. the threat of the death sentence. In this moving, if often horrifying, study, the author analyses the causes of these revolts, and the official reactions to them, drawing a number of points of comparison between them. Based on intensive research - from official sources, contemporary papers and first-hand accounts - some of it never published before, here at last is an accurate, compassionate and readable study of a shamefully concealed… Read More
