“ ... a unique, high-caliber, and accessible undergraduate textbook ... well written and priced right.” EOS

This market-leading textbook has been fully updated in response to extensive user feedback. It includes a completely new chapter on joints and veins, additional examples from around the world, stunning new field photos, and extended online resources with new animations and exercises. The book’s practical emphasis, hugely popular in the first edition, features applications in the upper crust including petroleum and groundwater geology, which highlight the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources.

CHOICE

“Very seldom can one buy a book of this quality.”

Carefully designed full-color illustrations work closely with the text to support student learning and are supplemented with high-quality photos from around the world. Examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations engage students. End-of-chapter review questions, and additional problem sets online, help students to check their understanding. Boxes containing in-depth material, relevant examples, and background information give context and show students the relevance of the theory to the bigger picture. Updated e-learning modules further reinforce key topics and bring concepts to life using summaries, innovative animations, and additional examples and figures.

Hebrew University of Jerusalem

This book presents up-to-date research achievements from a region that displays unique interactions between the climate, the environment and human evolution. Over eighty contributions from leading researchers review 2.5 million years of environmental change and human cultural evolution, creating an invaluable resource for students, academics and archaeologists.

This four-volume treatise on the continental drift controversy is the first complete history of the revolutionary theory of plate tectonics. Based on extensive interviews, archival papers and original works, Frankel weaves together the lives and work of the scientists involved, producing an accessible narrative for scientists and non-scientists alike. ‘… an unparalleled study of remarkable depth, detail and quality of a key development in our ideas about how the Earth functions … because Frankel draws on his extensive oral historical work with the key players in the development of plate tectonics, this is a study which can never be repeated in terms of its proximity to the events narrated, so many of those key players now being deceased.’ Robert J.

Statistics Explained An Introductory Guide for Life Scientists Second edition Steve McKillup Central Queensland University

This book provides straightforward conceptual explanations of statistical methods for the life sciences, specially designed for students lacking a strong mathematical background. ‘Every so often, a researcher or teacher comes across a book and exclaims ‘I wish I had had a book like this when I started!’ … Statistics Explained is such a book. Steve McKillup writes with empathy for students’ anxiety about statistics. He replaces complex-looking formulae 9781107155404c06_p142-167.indd 142 with graphics and realistic examples. He is a biologist writing for fellowbiologists … [The book] explains why the statistical test is needed before describing the test. Essential features of good survey and experimental design are clearly outlined … This is not ‘just another biostatistics textbook’. Its sheer readability will restore confidence to the most anxious student while experienced researchers will savour the clarity of the explanations of the common univariate and multivariate analyses … an ideal core text for anyone teaching or studying biostatistics …’ Andrew Boulton, University of New England, Australia

Computer Age Statistical Inference Algorithms, Evidence, and Data Science Bradley Efron Stanford University, California

and Trevor Hastie Stanford University, California

Computing power has revolutionized the theory and practice of statistical inference. This book delivers a concentrated course in modern statistical thinking by tracking the revolution from classical theories to the large-scale prediction algorithms of today. Anyone who applies statistical methods to data will benefit from this landmark text. ‘How and why is computational statistics taking over the world? In this serious work of synthesis that is also fun to read, Efron and Hastie, two pioneers in the integration of parametric and nonparametric statistical ideas, give their take on the unreasonable effectiveness of statistics and machine learning in the context of a series of clear, historically informed examples.’ Andrew Gelman, Columbia University, New York Institute of Mathematical Statistics Monographs, 5

COVER PHOTO The paperweights shown on the front cover were produced in 1889 by Macintyre and Co. with a double hemisphere map provided by the Edinburgh form of J.G. Bartholomew. The map was only the second known to have named Antarctica as such with a legend on the conjectured continent, and by including parts of it within the British empire it was possibly the first ever political map of Antarctica. See the note by Rip Bulkeley in this issue.
