An international team of over forty stratigraphic experts have helped to build the most up-to-date international stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. This successor to A Geologic Time Scale 1989 by W. Brian Harland et al. (CUP 0521 387655) begins with an introduction to the theory and methodology behind the construction of the new time scale. The main part of the book is devoted to the scale itself, systematically presenting the standard subdivisions at all levels using a variety of correlation markers. Extensive use is made of isotope geochronology, geomathematics and orbital tuning to produce a standard geologic scale of unprecedented detail and accuracy with a full error analysis. A wallchart summarising the whole time scale, with paleogeographic reconstructions throughout the Phanerozoic, is included in the back of the book. The time scale will be an invaluable reference source for academic and professional researchers and students.

The characteristic landscape of the Lake District is influenced by its geology. The huge array of different rocks found there determines the shape and appearance of the fells and dales. Also, as the dominant building material in the region, rocks impact both the local architecture and the economy through quarrying. A simple easy-to-read guide to the rocks of the English Lake District, with nearly 200 colour illustrations including diagrams, maps and photographs, this book provides an understanding of the main types of rock and characterizes over sixty of the most common rocks. It describes where to find them and how to recognise them in the landscape. Details are given of the use of rocks in local buildings and how the rocks are still quarried today, and finally, their importance to the local economy.

Benito Pérez Galdós entra en el sueño común de la gran novela decimonónica, conjunto de anécdotas que mantuvo la integridad de la imaginación colectiva durante un siglo de cambios radicales. Sus novelas, su teatro y sus cuentos no solo representan la realidad social de sus lectores, sino que con su anecdotario configuran tambien su aspiracion y temores, dentro del gran ritmo semantico de la humanidad: sus mitos fundamentales. En esto, Galdos es un ejemplo universal de una practica narrativa comun al realismo europeo en general. A lo largo y ancho de la creatividad galdosiana, la imaginacion mitologica aparece como fundamento. Las grandes historias paganas y cristianas imantan los signos de sus anecdotas cotidianas. Su obra es una representacion de la imaginacion mitologica de su siglo.
