¿Cómo se formaron las altas cadenas montañosas sobre la faz de la Tierra? Esta pregunta ha intrigado a grandes fdósofos y científicos, desde los griegos. El diablo en la montaña es la historia de un científico y escritor, Simon Lamb, y su búsqueda de una respuesta a este misterio geológico. Lamb y un pequeño equipo de geólogos pasó buena parte de una década explorando los accidentados Andes bolivianos, la segunda cadena de montañas más alta de la Tierra: una región de frecuentes terremotos y erupciones volcánicas. El libro de Lamb es a la vez narración de viajes y relato detectivesco. De viaje por caminos perdidos, el equipo de geólogos tuvo que afrontar condiciones climáticas extremas y sobreponerse a los obstáculos de un país en conmoción. Pero el trasfondo de estas aventuras es una historia mayor, la de la Tierra y sus misterios. Le seguimos el rastro a los dinosaurios, por ejemplo, que nunca vieron los Andes pero que dejaron sus huellas en las costas de un vasto mar interior que cubría esta parte de Sudamérica hace sesenta y cinco millones de años, mucho antes de que las montañas existieran. Y aprendemos mucho: a encontrar ríos hace largo tiempo desaparecidos o cómo los continentes se tuercen y desintegran o de dónde vienen los volcanes. Al final de su viaje, Lamb y su equipo proponen pruebas extraordinarias no sólo de la fundamental inestabilidad de la superficie terrestre sino de inesperadas y profundas conexiones en el funcionamiento de nuestro planeta.

This book provides a compact, up-to-date and detailed overview of the vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, a highly diverse part of Europe in the Mediterranean area. Written by a group of experienced researchers, the volume includes a first section with general chapters discussing the climate, the biogeography and the flora, and a second section with detailed descriptions of the 14 regional sectors into which the peninsula and Balearic Islands have been divided. A third section explores special features, such as aquatic vegetation, gypsum and dolomite vegetation, coastal vegetation, mountain flora and vegetation, conservation issues and alien flora.

This book gives a comprehensive overview of all relevant elements in topography and their practical application. It elaborates on the classical representation of terrain on maps such as cartographic projections, together with their classification, scale, and geographical elements. It is richly illustrated with photographs, maps and figures, in which the theoretical explanations are clarified. Readers will become acquainted with the physical characteristics of the ground, i.e. tectonic and erosive shapes, the importance and classification of terrain, genetic (fluvial, abrasive, glacial, karst) and topographic types such as higher (mountains, hills, peaks) and lower terrain (valleys, fields). In addition, the book discusses cartometry and coordinate systems, orientation in space (geographic, topographic, tactical) including by means of maps, instruments and the night sky and elaborates new techniques and technologies such as aerial photogrammetric imagery, global navigation satellite systems and LiDAR. The book also includes methods for the practical execution of concrete measurement operations, such as determining position and movement on land with maps, compass and azimuth which makes it especially useful for practitioners and professionals, e.g., for landscape planning, military exercises, mountaineering, nature walks etc. As such it offers a valuable guide not only for undergraduate students but also for researchers in the fields of geography, geosciences, geodesy, ecology, forestry and related areas looking for an overview on topography. Uniquely, the book also features an extensive glossary of topographical terms.
