Payne, Joseph A. ThasZuerich, Switzerland European Mathematical Society Publishing House20091 online resource (299 pages)EMS Series of Lectures in Mathematics (ELM) ;2523-5176Generalized quadrangles (GQ) were formally introduced by J. Tits in 1959 in order to describe geometric properties of simple groups of Lie type of rank 2. After its appearance in 1984, Finite Generalized Quadrangles (FGQ) quickly became the standard reference for finite GQ. It presents the whole story of the subject from the very beginning in a book of modest length. This second edition is essentially a reprint of the first edition. It is a careful rendering into LaTeX of the original, along with an appendix that introduces major new results pertaining to GQ, especially in those areas in which the authors of this work have made a contribution. The first edition has been out of print for many years, and the new edition makes again available this classical reference in the rapidly increasing field of finite geometries.Combinatorics & graph theorybicsscCombinatoricsmscGeometrymscCombinatorics & graph theoryCombinatoricsGeometry05-xx51-xxmscPayne Stanley E.140002Thas Joseph A.ch0018173BOOK9910151933503321Finite generalized quadrangles922511UNINA03937nam 22007692 450 991079030310332120230120033532.01-139-23419-61-107-22494-21-280-87897-51-139-23268-197866137202831-139-02392-61-139-23045-X1-139-22901-X1-139-23346-71-139-23192-8(CKB)2670000000207465(EBL)862371(OCoLC)797919511(SSID)ssj0000678593(PQKBManifestationID)11424824(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000678593(PQKBWorkID)10728901(PQKB)11002970(UkCbUP)CR9781139023924(Au-PeEL)EBL862371(CaPaEBR)ebr10574351(Au-PeEL)EBL5119984(CaONFJC)MIL372028(MiAaPQ)EBC862371(MiAaPQ)EBC5119984(PPN)261333267(EXLCZ)99267000000020746520110217d2012|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierOrogenesis the making of mountains /by Michael R.W. Johnson, Simon L. Harley[electronic resource]1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2012.1 online resource (x, 388 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-76556-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 343-374) and index.Major features of the Earth and plate tectonics -- Driving mechanisms for plates, slab retreat and advance, and a cause of orogenesis -- Physical and chemical principles : rock deformation, isostasy, geochronology and heat production in the lithosphere -- Large-scale features of orogens : thrusts and folds -- Evolution of orogens -- Lateral spreading of orogens : foreland propagation, channel flow and weak zones in the crust -- Metamorphism in orogeny -- The erosion and exhumation of mountains -- Sedimentary history of the foredeep basins -- Deep structure, mountain support and phase changes -- Mountains and climate -- Secular change in orogeney.Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when two tectonic plates collide - either forcing material upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date overview of orogenic research and an introduction to the physico-chemical properties of mountain belts. Global examples are explored, the interactioning roles of temperature and deformation in the orogenic process are reviewed, and important new concepts such as channel flow are explained. This book provides a valuable introduction to this fast-moving field for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of structural geology, plate tectonics and geodynamics, and will also provide a vital overview of research for academics and researchers working in related fields including petrology geochemistry and sedimentology.OrogenyOrogenic beltsPlate tectonicsGeology, StructuralOrogeny.Orogenic belts.Plate tectonics.Geology, Structural.551.8/2SCI031000bisacshJohnson M.
