Abstract

This work examines mortality among young children in the period from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. It does so using several types and sources of information from the census unit England and Wales, and from Ireland. The sources of information used in this study include memoirs, diaries, poems, church records and numerical accounts. They offer descriptions of the quality of life and child mortality over the three centuries under study. Additional sources for the nineteenth century are two census-derived numerical indexes of the quality of life. They are the VICQUAL index for England and Wales, and the QUALEIRE index for Ireland. Statistical procedures have been applied to the numbers provided by the sources with the aim to identify effects of and associations between such variables as gender, age, and social background. The book examines the results to consider the impact of children’s deaths upon parents and families, and concludes that there are differences and continuities across the centuries.

Abstract

Dieses bewährte Lehrbuch erläutert die grundlegenden Prozesse durch leicht verständliche Texte. Bestechende Fotos führen die Studenten gleichsam an den Ort des Geschehens. Didaktisch hervorragende Zeichnungen verdeutlichen die geologischen Vorgänge in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit. Vulkanismus an Plattengrenzen, Sedimentation in Flussdeltas oder Dünenbildung in Sandwüsten sind damit nur einige Beispiele der vielfältigen Vorgänge, die unsere Erde gestaltet haben und noch immer gestalten. In vielen Fällen können wir sie auch unmittelbar beobachten und mit diesem Lehrbuch verstehen. Auf diese Weise wird der geologische Prüfungsstoff in diesem Lehrbuch zu einer weltweiten Exkursion. Die Neuauflage wurde an vielen Stellen ergänzt und aktualisiert. Dies gilt vor allem für die Kapitel Geobiologie, Klimasystem sowie Mensch und Umwelt, die wegen ihrer Bedeutung für den zu erwartenden Klimawandel wesentlich erweitert wurden. Die Visualisierung von Sachverhalten ist noch erheblich verbessert worden. Ein umfangreiches Glossar mit deutschen und englischen Begriffen ergänzt dieses bewährte Lehrbuch. Stimmen zum Buch: >Die Autoren haben das Kunststück fertig gebracht, die trockenen Fakten so bunt zu präsentieren, dass das Studium unserer Erde zum Abenteuer wird. Bild der Wissenschaft Auf den ersten Blick überzeugt zunächst das ansprechende Layout. Das Buch ist durchgängig farbig gestaltet und enthält eine Vielzahl von exzellenten Fotos und didaktisch sehr gut aufbereiteten Zeichnungen. (...) Mehr als bisher sind in der Neuauflage die Systeme der Erde grundlegendes Thema des Buches. In etlichen Exkursen werden diese genauer durchleuchtet. Andere Exkurse widmen sich wirtschaftlichen und politischen Themen, wobei deutlich wird, welche Bedeutung die Geologie für die Zukunft der Menschheit hat. geographie heute Das beste Lehrbuch der Allgemeinen Geologie, umfassend, aktuell, leicht verständlich. Prof. Dr. Karl Krainer, Universität Innsbruck Sehr verständlich und anschaulich, ohne dabei den wissenschaftlichen Anspruch aufzugeben. Unbedingt empfehlenswert. Prof. Dr. Dominik Faust, TU Dresden Ein ganz hervorragend aufgebautes Lehrbuch für alle Studierende der Geologie, Geowissenschaften sowie angrenzender Disziplinen wie z.B. Bodenkunde oder Hydrologie. Aufgrund des klaren Aufbaus und der verständlichen Erläuterungen mit Hilfe von ansprechenden Bildern und Grafiken, aber auch für geologisch interessierte Laien wärmstens zu empfehlen. Dr. Björn Kluge, Technische Universität Berlin Ein "Klassiker" der Geologie und als umfassende Einführung sehr gut geeignet. Prof. Dr. Alexander Siegmund, Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg.

Abstract

This textbook integrates concepts of chemistry, physics, and geology in the context of the Earth as a system. It introduces the processes driven by the interior of Earth, including plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanism, and introduction to study of Earth materials. The physical and chemical processes occurring at the surface of Earth with an emphasis on energy in the Earth system are investigated as are the human impacts to the Earth system, including chemical and physical aspects of water pollution, oceanography, air pollution, meteorology, and global climate change. The authors also present topics such as minerals, igneous rocks and processes, metamorphism and metamorphic rocks, rock deformation and geologic structures, in addition to topics that include sedimentary rocks, sedimentary processes, rock weathering, mass wasting, river systems, groundwater, glaciers, deserts, and coastal processes.
