Los suelos derivados de cenizas volcánicas, cuya muestra representativa son la mayoría de suelos de Popayán, son de mucha importancia ya que se encuentran comúnmente en las zonas de mayor densidad poblacional de Colombia, sobre las cuales se cimientan todo tipo de obras de infraestructura. Este tipo de suelos derivados de cenizas volcanicas ademas de ser suelos tropicales, no encajan bien en la literatura clasica de la mecanica de suelos, su comportamiento es de dificil comprension y por ello es fundamento de estudio, debido a que presentan fuertes cambios en su omportamiento al ser expuestos a factores por variaciones limatologicas, lo cual implica inconvenientes en el area de la ingenieria y construccion si no son tomados en cuenta en el proceso de diseño; estos problemas van desde tendencias a presentar elevados asentamientos, colapso e inestabilidad de las estructuras cimentadas sobre ellas a demas dificultades geotecnicas, por lo cual , este tipo de suelo merece ser estudiado y entendido de una forma mas completa.

El tiempo es uno para los seres humanos y otro radicalmente distinto para el planeta en que vivimos. Agobiados por el fugaz presente, por la inmediatez de nuestros problemas y anhelos, solemos perder de vista el pausado ritmo que ha dado forma a este esferoide que gira en torno al Sol. Las transformaciones de la Tierra no solo son apasionantes tanto como los esfuerzos cientificos por desentrañarlas observando la corteza terrestre, extrayendo registros del hielo formado hace millones de años, leyendo en los fosiles que dan cuenta del auge y la caida de muchisimas especies sino que pueden abrirnos la mente hacia una experiencia inesperada e iluminadora: la conciencia del tiempo.En estas paginas, Marcia Bjornerud muestra como la geologia proporciona una lente para mirar el tiempo de una manera que trasciende los limites de la experiencia humana. Luego de presentar la historia de como los geologos han cartografiado los eones y las edades, de explicar ideas como la tectonica de placas y otras fuerzas que han dado forma al paisaje actual, de esbozar una biografia de nuestra atmosfera y de sintetizar los muchos episodios de cambio climatico que culminan con el Antropoceno, la era geologica engendrada por la actividad humana, la autora demuestra que estudiar la ciencia de la Tierra es lo mas cerca que podemos estar de emprender un viaje en el tiempo."Como geologa, Marcia Bjornerud se mueve en muchos marcos temporales: la historia de la Tierra de 4500 millones de años, el semestre academico, la rutina diaria. En este incisivo estudio, defiende la necesidad de una nueva alfabetizacion en geologia para asi inculcar en la gente un conocimiento mas profundo de los ritmos y procesos planetarios."Barbara Kiser, Nature"La tesis central de Bjornerud es que tener mas personas que piensen como geologos, elevandose por arriba de las preocupaciones cotidianas para comprender las consecuencias a largo plazo de nuestras acciones, ayudara a la sociedad a superar muchos problemas que enfrentamos."David R. Wunsch, Science

Hemos complicado demasiado el estudio del Pasado, dando mayor importancia a puntos de vista, intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, que colocan el hecho histórico en segundo lugar, subordinado al interes del sistema que pretende educarnos. Llego la hora de simplificar y demostrar respeto hacia nuestros ancestrales, esforzandonos en conocer lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, y no apenas aquello que el sistema pretende informarnos. Despues de tantos años estudiando Historia, llegue a la conclusion de que la mejor forma de conocer el pasado es a traves de una Cronologia imparcial, objetiva, que se limite a colocar cada acontecimiento en su exacto lugar en el tiempo, revelando la Historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Esta Cronologia constituye un completo material de consulta, no apenas con hechos puramente politicos, como fundacion de ciudades, nacimiento de reinos e imperios, descubrimientos cientificos y geograficos, desastres naturales y epidemias, sino tambien conteniendo informaciones sobre los mas diferentes campos de la actividad humana: quimica, astronomia, geografia, matematicas, etc. De forma paralela, la obra es complementada por datos que no pertenecen a una fecha determinada, sino a toda una epoca, son generalidades de cada sociedad, curiosidades, costumbres, la religion de cada civilizacion, inventos sin fecha exacta, etc. El resultado de todo este conjunto es una de las mas completas cronologias existentes, periodicamente actualizada con los ultimos descubrimientos arqueologicos y cientificos. Una obra de esta magnitud no podria ser publicada en un unico libro, por eso la he dividido en varias colecciones, y los originales en español estan siendo traducidos para frances, ingles, aleman, italiano y portugues. La cronologia transcurre año a año, dentro de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta la actualidad. Para aquellos que prefieren un estudio mas profundo y detallado, he preparado una segunda cronologia, dia a dia, que abarca desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cuatro colecciones.
