This book has been read, some water damage to bottom edge of back cover, some minor water damage to bottom of last few inner pages. No text or images damaged. No other markings inner pages. Spine intact, no creases."Few objects in nature display the perfect unity of form and function found in the vertebrate skeleton. Ingeniously designed by the processes of evolution, bones are marvels of engineering.In tribute to both the beauty and mechanics of its subject, Bones explores the structure, material, and movement of bones. It examines the miraculous composition of bone material. It looks at the joints and muscle attachments that allow for movement, including such elaborate mechanisms as fish jaws, rattlesnake fangs, and a lion's retractable claws. It shows how the same bone is shaped to wildly differently ends in a variety of animals. A wealth of specially commissioned color plates shows bones as they have seldom been seen before. The luminous images range from the unusual (the skeleton of a pygmy flying squirrel) to the ordinary (the tailbones of a domestic cat), and from the enormous (the vertebra of a dinosaur) to the minuscule (the acoustic bones of a desert kangaroo rat). With its blend of lively science and unexpected beauty, Bones leaves readers with insight into the workings of the skeleton, and a sense of wonder at its intricacy."

From Booklist: "In the first chapter, Erickson reveals the physical mechanisms responsible for most geologic cataclysms. Dubbing them the 'new geology,' Erickson masterfully presents these mechanisms--plate movements and mantle convections--so as to intrigue the reader with them through accounts of earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves in all corners of the world. Yet he also affords a generous sampling of more common cataclysms, including landslides, soil creep, mudflows, and wind-induced dust storms and their marine counterparts, submarine slides. Erickson reviews glaciation both past and present as well as the effects of foreign objects from space. Particularly striking is the concluding chapter's discussion of issues of cause and effect in accounting for extinctions."., Facts on File, 1994, 3, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008. Hardcover.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. small paperback book of 102 pages published by Minuit 1990; in fairly good condition complete and solid no tears or annotations clean interior almost no creases on the cover but some small stains on the cover In The Economy of the Toambapiks Laurent Cordonnier uses the tone and style of the fable to describe with irony the disastrous effects produced by the transformation of a peaceful agrarian economy into an advanced capitalist society which in order to conform to the precepts of the neo Keynesianism is no less nightmarish. Just like the previous book Pas de pitié pour les begeux was a kind of anti-manual of labor economics this book gives a clear vision of the main mechanisms which according to economists govern the macroeconomic functioning of societies. In the same movement he denounces the political unsaid of a vision of the world today that is both dominant and shaken by the crisis.
