  • Isotopes of the Earth's Hydrosphere

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book covers the distribution, hydrochemistry and geophysics of the naturally occurring stable isotopes namely: hydrogen, oxygen and radioactive tritium, carbon and other cosmogenic and radiogenic isotopes of the uranium-thorium series, in the oceans and in atmosphere, the earth's surface and ground water. The use of environmental isotopes in the three main areas of natural waters is discussed ... Read more

  • Jacobi Dynamics

    A Unified Theory with Applications to Geophysics, Celestial Mechanics, Astrophysics and Cosmology

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In their approach to Earth dynamics the authors consider the fundamentals of Jacobi Dynamics (1987, Reidel) for two reasons. First, because satellite observations have proved that the Earth does not stay in hydrostatic equilibrium, which is the physical basis of today’s treatment of geodynamics. And secondly, because satellite data have revealed a relationship between gravitational moments and the ... Read more

  • Gravitation, Inertia and Weightlessness

    Centrifugal and Gyroscopic Effects of the n-Body System's Interaction Energy

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This work discusses the problem of physical meaning of the three main dynamical properties of matter motion, namely gravitation, inertia and weightlessness. It considers that Newtonian gravitation and Galileo’s inertia are the centrifugal effects of interaction energy of a self-gravitating n-body system and its potential field. A self-gravitating celestial body appears to be an excellent natural ... Read more

  • Formation of the Solar System

    A New Theory of the Creation and Decay of the Celestial Bodies

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Analysis of the orbital motion of the Earth, the Moon and other planets and their satellites led to the discovery that all bodies in the Solar System are moving with the first cosmic velocity of their proto parents. The mean orbital velocity of each planet is equal to the first cosmic velocity of the Protosun, the radius of which is equal to the semi-major axis of the planet’s orbit. The same ... Read more

  • Dynamics of the Earth

    Theory of the Planet's Motion Based on Dynamic Equilibrium

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In their search for solutions to problems concerning the dynamics of the Earth as a self-gravitating body, the authors have applied the fundamentals found in their book “Jacobi Dynamics” (1987, Reidel). First, satellite observations have shown that the Earth does not remain in hydrostatic equilibrium, which forms the physical basis of modern geodynamics. Secondly, satellite data have established a ... Read more

  • Meteorites

    Messengers from Space

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Meteorites - as well as shooting stars and meteors - result from a collision of a solid body from space with our Earth, but only meteorites are able to penetrate the Earth's protective shield, the atmosphere, and fall to the Earth's surface. Before the return of lunar samples, they were the only materials from beyond the Earth which we could take in hand and study.This book gives a concise and up ... Read more

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    [the text below needs editing and we must be careful not to say things about Dan Brown's book that could get Springer in legal trouble]Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code, was first published in 2003; its sales have reached 40 million worldwide. The book mixes a small spice of fact into a large dollop of fiction to create an entertaining novel of intrigue, adventure, romance, danger and ... Read more

  • Electrifying Atmospheres: Charging, Ionisation and Lightning in the Solar System and Beyond

    by Karen Aplin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to ... Read more
