Global Continental Palaeohydrology

Wiley, 1996

Palaeohydrological research is a comparatively recent development. However, research undertaken has already demonstrated a significant multidisciplinary impact and shown how palaeohydrology can provide an important contribution to the study of global change. Although a considerable amount of exciting palaeohydrological research has been applied to particular areas, there has not previously been a systematic approach to research into the ...

The Pendulum: A Case Study in Physics
Gregory L. Baker, James A. Blackburn

Oxford University Press, USA, 2009

The pendulum: a case study in physics is a unique book in several ways. Firstly, it is a comprehensive quantitative study of one physical system, the pendulum, from the viewpoint of elementary and more advanced classical physics, modern chaotic dynamics, and quantum mechanics. In addition, coupled pendulums and pendulum analogs of superconducting devices are also discussed. Secondly, this book treats the physics of the pendulum within a ...

Chaotic Dynamics: An Introduction
Gregory L. Baker, Jerry P. Gollub

Cambridge University Press, 1996

The previous edition of this text was the first to provide a quantitative introduction to chaos and nonlinear dynamics at the undergraduate level. It was widely praised for the clarity of writing and for the unique and effective way in which the authors presented the basic ideas. These same qualities characterize this revised and expanded second edition. Interest in chaotic dynamics has grown explosively in recent years. Applications to ...

Seven Tales of the Pendulum
Gregory L. Baker

Oxford University Press, USA, 2011

The pendulum is a unique physical system which exhibits remarkably varied and complex behavior under many different conditions. It is also a system which, in its many manifestations, has left a significant imprint on human thought and culture. Using graphs, figures, and narrative to explain scientific ideas and models, Gregory Baker gives a lucid account of the physics of the pendulum, showing the reader how the context of the pendulum ...

Bat Biology and Conservation

Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, 1998

Accounting for nearly a quarter of living mammal species, bats are the focus of large-scale research efforts in almost every field of biology and have become increasingly recognized for their importance to discussions of vertebrate biodiversity and conservation. The past three decades have seen enormous strides in the field of chiropteran biology, largely due to advances in technology, observational techniques, and analytical methods. ...

Religion and Science: From Swedenborg to Chaotic Dynamics
Gregory L. Baker

Solomon Pr, 1992

Conventional wisdom suggests that science and religion are unrelated and often in conflict. Yet, both areas contribute to the totality of human knowledge. In Religion and Science Gregory L. Baker examines this relationship from both his own experience as a physicist and his religious faith-based upon the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, the eighteenth century scientist, philosopher, and theologian. Dr. Baker begins with a summary of ...
