Geografía del turismo y el paisaje

The only comprehensive treatment available, it will be the definitive resource for amateur naturalists as well as professionals with an interest in this rapidly changing biogeographical region.

Las investigaciones científicas del Prof. Francisco J. Ayala, relacionadas con el estudio genético de las poblaciones y la evolución biológica, incluyen temas tan variados como el origen de las especies, la diversidad genética de los organismos, la evolución de la malaria, la estructura genética de las poblaciones de protozoos parásitos, el reloj molecular de la evolución o la evolución humana. Pensando en un lector no necesariamente especialista, los profesores Andrés Moya y Amparo Latorre han preparado una cuidada selección de trabajos de su extensa obra que permiten apreciar la ...

In the beginning, Earth was an inhospitably alien place―in constant chemical flux, covered with churning seas, crafting its landscape through incessant volcanic eruptions. Amid all this tumult and disaster, life began. The earliest living things were no more than membranes stretched across microscopic gaps in rocks, where boiling hot jets of mineral-rich water gushed out from cracks in the ocean floor. Although these membranes were leaky, the environment within them became different from the raging maelstrom beyond. These havens of order slowly refined the generation of energy, using it to...

This volume covers the advances in the organometallic chemistry of nickel, palladium and platinum since publication of COMC in 1982. Major applications of the organometallic compounds of the nickel group are in catalytic and stoichiometric organic synthesis and in materials synthesis. This volume covers the fundamental organometallic chemistry which underpins these applications. The level of sophistication in many areas has increased substantially since COMC, for example in the development of chiral organometallics for use in synthesis, in the synthesis and characterization of larger cluster...
