Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. xiv, 276 pages. Index. Reference list. "Invaluable both to research workers and to those who apply the resistivity sounding method in practice. The theory of the flow of direct electrical current in a horizontally layered earth is developed and this theory is then applied to the development of interpretation procedures for resistivity sounding observations. The main emphasis of the book is on accurate interpretation methods. Both the automatic iterative and the direct interpretation methods are discussed, with extensive descriptions of practical procedures, including several computer programs." - back board. Former corporate library copy with average wear and minimal associated markings. A sound copy.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xxi, [1], 383, [1] pages. Illustrations (photographs, Tables, and Figures). Maps. References. Index. This is one of the Elsevier Oceanography Series Number 17. Included is a signed letter from Harold Palmer, Ph.D. to a senior Environmental Protection Agency official dated 5 January 1975 requesting information for a chapter he was preparing for this book. This is Chapter 11: Submersibles: Geological Tools in the Study of Submarine Canyons. Name of previous owner stamped on fep. The Editor spent four years as an exploration geophysicist and geologist with Standard Oil; he spent four years with the Bureau of Ordnance, U.S. Navy; he spent a year as senior field instructor at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; he spent three years as senior research geophysicist with Humble Oil & Refining Co. Then he received his doctorate and continued full time as head of Humble's Oceanography Section. He then became chief geophysicist of the Gravity Department at Geophysical Service, Inc. and then technical director of oceanography for Texas Instruments. In 1966, Geyer became head of the Department of Oceanography at Texas A & M University. In 1974 his contributions there were recognized by his being made a full professor. The major focus of this book is the period in which a highly specialized technological effort to study and harvest the varied resources in and beneath the ocean has been successfully consummated using an unmanned submersible. The book also includes a discussion of manned submersibles. The chapter have been written by noted authorities. Some case studies on the use of manned submersibles are presented. Case studies have been taken from such diversified scientific disciplines as geological, geophysical and biological oceanography as well as nautical archaeology. Other major topics include the search for and salvage of an atomic bomb (discussed as part of Chapter 4), and other objects lost in the sea, as well as describing methods for improving undersea navigation and communication.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This book provides the practicing engineer with a summary of the state-of-the art knowledge of expansive soils and practical solutions based upon the author's experience. Part I discusses theory and practice, and summarizes some of the theoretical physical properties of expansive soils. It also discusses various techniques employed to found structures on expansive soils such as drilled pier foundation, mat foundation, moisture control, soil replacement, and chemical stabilization. Part II presents five typical case studies. The author has found there are few records available regarding the cause of structural distress, their remedial measures, and, more importantly, the success of those efforts. Appendix A gives a suggested method of testing expansion and uplift pressure of clay soils, as a discussion paper not reflecting any regulatory or professional requirement. Appendix B gives the authors response to common precautions and solutions often proposed for structures built on expansive soils. Illustrated with architectural drawings and B&W photographs. xviii + 282pp. The author, Fu Hua Chen (1913-1999), was president of Chen and Associates, Inc., Consulting Soil Engineers, Denver, CO U.S.A. Honored early in his career as the man behind the incredible completion of China's Burma Road during World War II, Chen became known worldwide as the foremost authority on expansive soils. This book, Foundations on Expansive Soils (1975), is his most famous title. Hardcover has grey rear cover and brown with green designs on spine and front cover, white and red English lettering on spine and front, brown Chinese lettering on front, but no jacket. Square corners, minor shelfwear. Interior printed on high gloss paper. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. It has been carefully stored and used. Copyright 1975. Listed as volume 12 in Elsevier's Developments in Geotechnical Engineering Series. Stated from second impression, 1979. Printed in The Netherlands. ISBN: 0-444-41393-6. No LCCN nor MSR.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. In great condition, slight crease on front cover but unsure if it's a design choice. Mr. Irwin W. Mathisen Jr. has stamped his name on each side of the page rims and an official Registered Geologist of California stamps on front and back of inside outer pages. Irwin W. Mathisen, Jr. is a Director of Energy Fuels, Inc. and Chairman of the Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committees. He was Vice President-Exploration of Energy Fuels Nuclear, Inc. from 1977 to 1988. Mr. Mathisen held various positions at Union Carbide Corporation. He worked for Western Nuclear, Inc. This copy has been transcribed in English, written for metallogenists and students, intended for experts and thus basically meant to be practical disregarding not only the theoretical aspects of phenomena related to reflectance but also details on microscopic techniques. Part One is dedicated to the importance of metallographic methods in the study of and prospecting for mineral, and to the use of these methods with a description of the apparatus used. Part Two is a detailed monograph of 369 minerals arranged in alphabetical phenomena under crossed nicols in determining metallic mineral species and therefore many color photographs are included. …
