Books Those books marked with an asterisk will be reviewed in forthcoming issues of EarthScience Reviewa
lAnstey, R. L. and Chase, T. L. Environments Through time, A Laboratory Manual in the Interpretation of Ancient Sediments end Organisms. Burgess, Minn., 1974, 136 pp.. U.S. $ 4.95. Emphasis on the role of time in generating lithologic and paleobiologic patterns as well as how to interpret the time relationships of the different parts of the rock record. Bhimasankaram, V.L.S. Radiometric Methods of Explorerion. Osmania University, India, 1974,212 p. Aimed to broadly cover the requirements of postgraduate students in geophysics end geology. Emphasis is laid on the physical point of view rather then on mathematical treatment. Blyth, F.G.H. and de Freitas, M.H. A Geology for Engineers, Edward Arnold, London, 1974,revisad6thad., 557 pp., f3.75. Divided into three sections: General Geology, Analytical Techniques and Applica tions and including over 200 illustrations as well as photographs. Bbhme, S. et al. Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstmcts, Vol. 10, Lit. 1973, Pert2. Springer, Berlin, 1974,661 pp. A six-month record, summary and index of astronomical publicetions throughout the world. Bugliarello, G. and Gunther, F.J. Developments in Water Science, I - Computer Sys-
terns end Weter Resources Elsavier, Amsterdam, 1974,202pp.. Dfl. 45.00. The major water resources ereas dealth with are surface water systems, groundwater systems and water utilization systems in respect to the considerations which emerge when looking at water resource systems in termsof the computer-considerations. Butler, B.E. et al. A Geomorphic hlep of the Riverine Piein of Sour-Eastern Austrelia. Australian National Univ. Press, 1974, A.$ 1.50. An introductory statement on the physical features of the Plain as well as a presentation of the criteria adopted in compiling the map with an extended bibliography for further leads on the study of this region. Carson, M.A. The Mechenics of Emsion. Pion, London, 1971,174 pp., E3.00. Attempts to unite some of the mow elementary fundamental concepts of underlying theoretical Homorphology and to provide a full development of these ideas from basic principles. Aimed at undergraduates in Earth Science. Dalrymple, D.G. A Global Review of Greenhouse Food Production. U.S.D.A., Washing ton,D.C., 1973,U.S. $1.25. An outgrow of a survey on multiple cropping in less developed nations of interest to agriculturists without knowledge of graanhouse production as vmll as greenhouse specialists.
