Geology And Ecology

The complex sciences of geology and mineralogy couple the focused sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology to the “diffuse”
disciplines of ecology and the environment. For this colloquium, 18 papers have been selected on matters related to human welfare, particularly
health and both physical and mental wellbeing, to demonstrate the importance of new research plans and new instrumentation.

This presents a comprehensive, detailed study of speciation for all resident land and freshwater bird species of Northern Melanesia. The book provides by far the most comprehensive study yet available of a rich fauna, composed of the 195 breeding land and fresh-water bird species of the Bismarck and Solomon Archipelagoes east of New Guinea.
