"Análisis Químico de Suelos y Aguas. Transparencias y problemas" es un texto adaptado al programa de la asignatura "Análisis Químico de Suelos y Aguas" que se imparte en la titulación de Ingenieros Técnicos Forestales, en la Escuela Politécnica Superior de Gandía. El programa de esta asignatura consta de catorce unidades didácticas agrupadas en cinco núcleos temáticos: toma de muestras, análisis preliminares, análisis de diversos indicadores de fertilidad, análisis de parámetros de fertilidad química, y análisis de metales traza y residuos. En el texto, cada una de las catorce unidades didácticas se estructura de la siguiente forma: objetivos, contenidos, a continuación las transparencias que se emplean en clase y, por último, una serie de problemas con su resultado. El texto concluye con un capítulo de bibliografía y un apéndice con distintas formas de expresar la concentración y las ecuaciones del método de ajuste lineal de rectas por mínimos cuadrados.

Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn't exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas' shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction.
