Hardback. Condición: Good. The Sea Floor deals with the most important results achieved in Marine Geology over the last three decades. Relevant geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological methods are shortly described. They should allow the reader to comment on new results about plate tectonics, marine sedimentation from the coasts to the deep sea, climatological aspects, paleoceanology and the use of the sea floor. The text tries to transmit to the reader the excitement of marine geological research both aboard and in modern laboratories. Basic mineralogical, geochemical, biological and other relevant data and a detailed list of books and symposia are given in an Appendix. The third corrected and revised edition contains an enlarged and updated list of references and some new figures.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The purpose of the Handbook is to provide systematic overview of medical and health informatics for health care professionals and for students in medicine and health care, who will be the clinical professionals of the next millennium. Health care professionals will use computers to support patient care, assess the quality of care, and enhance decision making, management, planning, and medical research. Computer-based patient records and electronic communications will be the most visible developments in the years ahead. The Handbook has been written by a host of renowned international authorities in medical and health informatics. The editors took much care that the Handbook would not be merely a collection of separate chapters, but rather would offer a consistent and structured overview.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Cryptology is rapidly gaining in practical importance for the protection of communication channels, databases and software; besides its role in computerized information systems (public key systems), more and more applications inside computer systems and networks are appearing, which also extend to access rights and source file protection. The first part of this book deals with codes and their uses (cryptography), whilst the second deals with the process of covertly decrypting a secret code (cryptanalysis). The book presupposes only elementary mathematical knowledge and this, combined with stories from the history of cryptology, makes it suitable for the general reader.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Observer's Year is likely to become a classic for years to come. It will not "date" and will appeal to amateur astronomers almost regardless of their experience. There are 365 nights in every year (366 in a leap year!) and from the amateur astronomer's point of view, no two are alike. That is why Patrick Moore has written this unique book to highlight special objects of interest on every night of the year. He talks about the history of the constellations, double stars, nebulae, the moon, planets, even the asteroids. Beginning January 1st, he works through the year night by night.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This introduction to acupuncture seeks to combine Western science and medicine with traditional Chinese concepts. The philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine is presented, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and acupuncture points. The remainder of the work is devoted to treatment, based on Western modes of diagnosis. The methods and applications of needling and moxibustion are described, and the most important points are given for frequently-encountered diseases. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Kofen, P. (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This study examines the proposition that "information" is as much a part of the physical universe as energy and matter. The acceptance of such a proposition has profound implications for the physical sciences; it also lays the foundations for a general theory of information. The book is directed firstly at researchers in information theory and scientists in other disciplines. However, its relatively non-mathematical nature places it at the "scientific" end of the spectrum of popular science books. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Patrick Moore has pulled together a group of professional and amateur astronomers, each an expert in a particular field, to describe how to observe every category of object that is within reach of an astronomical telescope of modest size. Each chapter deals with a different class of object, covering the whole range of possibilities from the Moon, planets and stars to more specialised observations of comets, novae, and meteors. If you own - or are thinking of buying - an astronomical telescope, here is the book that will help you get the most enjoyment out of it. It also explains how best to use your telescope for proper scientific observations, for astronomy is one of the few remaining areas of science where a lot of useful work can be carried out by non-professionals. A companion book, The Modern Amateur Astronomer, deals with the non-observational aspects of astronomy, from buying a telescope (or making your own), through electronic equipment and accessories, to more technical aspects such as spectroscopy and astrophotography. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. This book provides a comprehensive and self-contained treat- ment of the theory and practice of option pricing. The role of martingale methods in financial modeling is exposed. The emphasis is on using arbitrage-free models already accepted by the market as well as on building the new ones but in a way that makes them consistent with the finance industry derivatives pricing practice. Standard calls and puts together with numerous examples of exotic options such as barriers and quantos, for example on stocks, indices, currencies and interest rates are analysed. The importance of choosing a convenient numeraire in price calculations is explained. Mathematical and financial language is used so as to bring mathematicians closer to practical problems of finance and presenting to the industry useful math. tools.…
