 | 1755 o Terramoto de Lisboa (The Lisbon Earthquake)
| João F. B. D. Fonseca
|  |  | A par da extrema destruição que causou em Portugal, Norte de África e Espanha, o terramoto de Lisboa de 1755 deixou importantes marcas na cultura europeia do século XVIII. Figuras destacadas do Iluminismo, como Voltaire ou Rousseau, envolveram-se em acesas controvérsias acerca das implicações filosóficas do terramoto, e Immanuel Kant publicou três ensaios sobre o fenómeno. Nas descrições detalhadas dos efeitos do terramoto, enviadas para Lisboa em resposta às ordens do Marquês de Pombal, poderá encontrar-se o dealbar da sismologia moderna. Este livro, amplamente documentado com transcrições de textos da época e 85 ilustrações pela primeira vez reunidas numa obra, destina-se a dar a conhecer a um público alargado as diversas facetas do impacte do terramoto de Lisboa na Península Ibérica e no resto da Europa. |

 | 3D Seismic Interpretation
| Bacon M.; R. Simm; T. Redshaw
|  |  | 3-D seismic data have become the key tool used in the petroleum industry to understand the subsurface. In addition to providing excellent structural images, the dense sampling of a 3-D survey can sometimes make it possible to map reservoir quality and the distribution of oil and gas. This book covers basic structural interpretation and map-making; the use of 3-D visualisation methods; interpretation of seismic amplitudes, including their relation to rock and fluid properties; and the generation and use of AVO and acoustic impedance datasets. Also included is the increasingly important field of time-lapse seismic mapping, which allows the interpreter to trace the movement of fluids within the reservoir during production. Written by professional geophysicists with many years experience in the oil industry, the book will be indispensable for geoscientists learning to use 3-D seismic data, including graduate students and new entrants into the petroleum industry. |

 | A Color Atlas of Carbonate Sediments and Rocks Under the Microscope
| A. E. Adams; W. S. MacKenzie
|  |  | More than half of the world’s petroleum is found in carbonate rocks — for example, in the Middle East, the former USSR and in North America. These rocks show a bewildering diversity of grains and textures, due in part to the wealth of different fossil organisms that have contributed to carbonate sedimentation, and in part to a wide variety of diagenetic processes that can radically modify textures and obscure the depositional fabric. Careful petrographic study with a polarising microscope is a key element of any study of carbonate sediments — as a companion to field or core logging and as a necessary precursor to geochemical analysis. This atlas, which illustrates in full color a range of features not attempted in any general textbook, is designed as a laboratory manual to keep beside the microscope, and as an aid to identifying grain types and textures in carbonates. It will appeal alike to under-graduate and graduate students and to professionals in teaching institutions, research laboratories and industry.

 | A Short History of Planet Earth: Mountains, Mammals, Fire, and Ice
| J. D.
MacDougall
|  |  | "A splendid introduction to geology and paleontology for the lay reader. To compress Earth's history into a single, lucidly written volume is a major achievement."--Publishers Weekly, starred review.
"Few people have both the knowledge and the writing ability to capture such a long and varied history in a compelling manner. In A Short History of Planet Earth, J.D. Macdougal demonstrates that he is one of the few."--Earth.
This exhilarating survey of the four and half billion years of Earth's history charts both the geological and biological history of the planet. It moves from the origin of the earth's iron core to the formation of today's seven continents, and from the primordial building blocks of life to the evolution of the human form.
J.D. MACDOUGALL (San Diego, California) is a professor of earth science at the Scripps Oceanographic Institute of the University of California, San Diego, the premier center for earth science research in the U.S. His work has appeared in Scientific American and the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. |

 | A Terra, Nova Geologia Global
| Peter J. Wyllie
|  |  | Ao terem a possibilidade, no começo de 1976, de ler este livro, logo os tradutores se deram conta do seu muito interesse (aliás comprovado junto de vários colegas), para os estudantes que, sem grande formação nos domínios da física, matemática e geologia, necessitavam de conhecer como a dinâmica da Terra estava sendo encarada. A possibilidide de leitura deste livro por várias camadas de estudantes com uma preparação mínima, levou-os a procurar traduzi-lo, o que iniciaram nesse mesmo ano. A tradução procurou seguir a estrutura da escrita do autor por se reconhecer que a riqueza pedagógica do texto residia na vivacicade da mesma por recurso a frases curtas e secas. A tradução dum livro destes nem sempre é fácil, pois não existe terminologia científica adaptada na língua portuguesa e os tradutores tendem, por deformação, a abreviar a explicação. (...) o nosso primeiro juízo estava certo, como prova a tiragem (2º edição esgotada), compartilhando a esperança do autor em despertar o interesse de alunos com a diversa preparação para um melhor conhecimento do meio em que habitam. A revisão da tradução beneficiou da colaboração de Drª M. Bela Jardim. (Aveiro, 1979). |

 | An Introduction to Applied Geostatistics
| Edward H. Isaaks; R. Mohan Srivastava
|  |  | Description
In Applied Geostatistics the authors demonstrate how simple statistical methods can be used to analyse earth science data. In clear language, they explain how various forms of the estimation method called kriging can be employed for specific problems. A case study of a simulated deposit is the focus for the book. This model helps the student develop an understanding of how statistical tools work, serving as a tutorial to guide readers through their first independent geostatistical study.

 | Ancient Invertebrates and Their Living Relatives
| Harold L. Levin
|  |  | This overview and introduction to the study of fossil invertebrates emphasizes both soft and skeletal anatomy, as well as the relationship between animals known only from fossils and those living today. It lays the foundation for students' eventual abilities to (1) recognize many of the most abundant fossils, (2) appreciate their value in interpreting ancient environments of deposition, and (3) use them as tools for stratigraphic correlation. |
