Book Description
Richard Plume is a U.S. Marine whose combat injuries ultimately cost him a leg and much faith in his government and society. Carefully structured to emphasize the immediacy of problems faced by its players, the novel relegates combat scenes to flashbacks and centers instead on the struggles Richard faces as he tries to carve out a humble but honest existence in postwar Washington, D.C., for his wife, Esme, and son, Dickie.

Henry James and the Art of Dress
Author: C. Hughes
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 023028776X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Henry James was fascinated by clothing and dress. This book examines, for the first time, the role of dress in reinforcing thematic and symbolic patterns in James's fictional world. Hughes traces a development from the significance of dress in discussion of 'the American Girl' in the early works, through dress as an indicator of social position, to the emergence of the more unstable and threatening aspects of dress, which culminate in the strange case of the coat of changing colours in The Sense of the Past.

Isotope Geochemistry
Author: William M. White
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119729939
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
Provides a thorough and up-to-date overview of radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry Now in its second edition, Isotope Geochemistry presents a comprehensive introduction to radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry. The book opens with an overview of the physics and origins of atoms and nuclei, followed by a review of radioactive decay schemes and geochronological techniques such as fission-track and carbon-14 dating. Subsequent chapters cover nucleosynthetic anomalies in meteorites, early solar system chronology, the theory and application of stable isotope geochemistry, isotopic variation in the noble gases, and more. This edition includes new sections on thermochronology, U-He dating, recently published La–Ce isotope data, stable isotopes in ore deposits, nuclear volume and nuclear spin effects, and the application of isotope geochemistry in areas such as agriculture, forensics, and environmental studies. Revised and expanded discussions address topics including isotope cosmochemistry, non-traditional isotopes, nucleosynthesis, advanced U-Pb dating and isotopic analysis technologies, the subcontinental lithosphere, and mass-independent isotope fractionation. Describes the use of radiogenic isotopes in understanding the evolution of the Earth’s mantle, crust, and oceans Explores the use of stable isotopes in areas such as mantle evolution, archeology, paleontology, ore formation, and paleoclimatology Reviews new developments in the understanding of nucleosynthesis, including insights gained from the study of the 2017 neutron star merger detected by gravitational waves Discusses progress in the field of unconventional isotopes, advances in isotope cosmochemistry, and recent data on regional variations in isotopic compositions Illustrated in full color throughout, Isotope Geochemistry, Second Edition is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students in all earth science disciplines.
