Sommario/riassunto |
|
Compassion is an attribute of a person’s affective understanding, which |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aims to enable, so far as possible, shared experiences of the world’s ills and some alleviation of those ills’ effects.
Such an attribute is thus of great value within healthcare institutions such as general practices
and other primary and community healthcare settings. It may characterise the people
who participate in those institutions; or, it may not so characterise them. The appearance
of compassion, under certain conditions and even in fragile and incomplete forms, is a kind
of human excellence, a way of being for the good in community.* Compassion is not, therefore,
a commodity, to be bought, sold and traded. Although time can be costed, there is no
line for compassion in any budget. Were compassion to be thought a commodity, one could
imagine trading it off against some more measurable factor (efficiency, cost-effectiveness, etc.).
However, our human capacity for compassion, though fragile, tends to resist such marginalisation
and reductionism. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Mantle convection is the fundamental agent driving many of the geological features observed at the Earth's surface, including plate tectonics and plume volcanism. Yet many Earth scientists have an incomplete understanding of the process. This book describes the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
physics and fluid dynamics of mantle convection, explaining what it is, how it works, and how to quantify it in simple terms. It assumes no specialist background: mechanisms are explained simply and the required basic physics is fully reviewed and explained with minimal mathematics. The distinctive forms that convection takes in the Earth's mantle are described within the context of tectonic plates and mantle plumes, and implications are explored for geochemistry and tectonic evolution. Common misconceptions and controversies are addressed - providing a straightforward but rigorous explanation of this key process for students and researchers across a variety of geoscience disciplines. |
