出版商概要
"The book examines the historical and theoretical contexts for the development of cyclic theories in the geosciences (chapters 1-6); the practical utilization of cyclic theories in the geosciences, namely, geophysics, geochemistry, structural geology, soil science, oceanography/hydrology, glaciology, and the atmospheric sciences (chapters 7-13); and the summarization and meta-theoretical discussion of the centrality of cyclicity in the geosciences (chapter 14)....[p]rovides an apt introduction and overview of cyclic theories and cyclicity in geoscience. List of illustrations; time line; international stratigraphic chart; glossary; further reading list. Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through professionals." - Choice
