Incomplete Solution
V knjigi Incomplete Solution: Weathering of Cave Walls and the Production, Transport and Deposition of Carbonate Fines (Nepopolno raztapljanje: preperevanje jamskih sten in nastajanje, transport in odlaganje karbonatnih delcev) je prikazano preperevanje sten jamskih rovov na krasu. Predstavljeno je dogajanje v apnencih in dolomitih med raztapljanjem, kakšno je to raztapljanje in zakaj se kamnine ne raztopijo popolnoma.
Kras
Prva monografija moderne dobe o »klasičnem« slovenskem krasu, o pokrajini kras. Knjigo je napisala skupina slovenskih strokovnjakov, ki se vsak v okviru svoje stroke ukvarjajo s Krasom. Besedilo v angleškem jeziku je pisano strokovno, vendar tudi dovolj poljudno, tako da je razumljivo vsakomur. V knjigi so poudarjene naravoslovne značilnosti, predvsem tiste, ki so za kras bistvenega pomena – kamen in voda – (to je geološke, hidrološke, morfološke in speleološke značilnosti) in povezanost človeka s krasom (etnologija, tradicionalna arhitektura). Delo je ilustrirano z več kot 200 ilustracijami, kartami, preglednicami, grafikoni in skicami.
Place, Memory, and Healing
Place, Memory, and Healing: An Archaeology of Anatolian Rock Monuments investigates the complex and deep histories of places, how they served as sites of memory and belonging for local communities over the centuries, and how they were appropriated and monumentalized in the hands of the political elites. Focusing on Anatolian rock monuments carved into the living rock at watery landscapes during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, this book develops an archaeology of place as a theory of cultural landscapes and as an engaged methodology of fieldwork in order to excavate the genealogies of places. Advocating that archaeology can contribute substantively to the study of places in many fields o...
The scientific dialogue linking America, Asia and Europe between the 12th and the 20thCentury.
The first volume of Viaggiatori “Curatele” series seeks to recreate some scientific dialogues, namely meetings, exchanges and acquisition of theoretical and practical scientific knowledge, thus linking the cultural, historical and geographical context of America, Asia, Europe and Mediterranean Sea between the 16th and the 20th century. More specifically, the main objective is to consider the role of travellers as passeurs, as “intermediaries” for building and allowing the circulation of knowhow and the practical and theoretical knowledge from one continent to another.
Jamaica Underground
This title explores the underground caves, sinkholes and underground rivers of Jamaica.
What Is Paleolithic Art?
The noted archaeologist explores the varieties of prehistoric cave art across the world and offers surprising insights into its purpose and meaning. What drew our Stone Age ancestors into caves to paint in charcoal and red hematite, to watch the likenesses of lions, bison, horses, and aurochs as they flickered by firelight? Was it a creative impulse, a spiritual dawn, a shamanistic conception of the world? In this book, Jean Clottes, one of the most renowned figures in the study of cave paintings, pursues an answer to the “why” of Paleolithic art. Discussing sites and surveys across the world, Clottes offers personal reflections on how we have viewed these paintings in the past, what we ...
Evolution of Karst
Knjiga Evolution of karst: from prekarst to cessation (Razvoj krasa: od predkrasa do izginotja) je zbornik istoimenskega simpozija, ki je v septembru 2002 potekal na Inštitutu za raziskovanje krasa ZRC SAZU. Namen knjige je odgovoriti na vprašanja, kot so: Kdaj se začne kras in kdaj končač Kateri procesi in dogodki določajo razvoj kraškega podzemlja in površjač Kako je razvoj krasa povezan s pretakanjem voda v kraškem vodonosniku in kako z razvojem in razširjenostjo bioloških vrstč Kako merimo čas, ki je minil od določenih dogodkov v krasuč
Underground Rivers
Underground rivers in science, history, the arts and any number of sightings elsewhere
Cave Rocky Relief and its Speleogenetical Significance
Dejavniki, ki oblikujejo kraško podzemlje, zapuščajo sledi tudi na skalnem obodu kraških votlin. Nastajajo skalne oblike, ki jih povezujemo v skalni relief. Ta je pogosto pomembna sled oblikovanja in razvoja kraških votlin. V knjigi (Jamski skalni relief in njegov speleogenetski pomen) so strnjena proučevanja o nastanku in razvoju najbolj značilnih jamskih skalnih oblik. Predstavljen je skalni relief kot sled načina oblikovanja rovov v različnih hidroloških pogojih ter njegov speleogenetski pomen v razvojno raznovrstnih jamah. Delo tudi na novo ovrednoti speleogenetski pomen skalnega reliefa v izbranih predelih slovenskega krasa. Celotno besedilo je objavljeno v angleškem jeziku, na koncu knjige je dodan obsežen slovenski povzetek.
