The art of being a scientist: A guide for graduate students and their mentors
by Roel Snieder and Ken Larner, 2009
Highly recommended for grad students and the researchers who mentor them. This practical guide is an outgrowth of a Colorado School of Mines course on the skills needed for a successful research career: choosing a research topic, department, and advisor; making workplans; managing time effectively; research ethics; using scientific literature; skillful communications; writing proposals; looking for a position at the end of the degree; and much more.
Arctic Ocean sediments: Processes, proxies, and paleoenvironment
by Ruediger Stein, 2008
The short-and long-term geological history of the Arctic Ocean is less known than those of other ocean regions. During the last 20 years, however, multidisciplinary ship expeditions were carried out that have greatly advanced our knowledge on Arctic Ocean paleoenvironments.
Lipids in aquatic ecosystems
edited by Michael T. Arts, Michael T. Brett and Martin Kainz, 2009
Evidence now suggests that the roles of essential fatty acids are fundamentally similar in freshwater and marine ecosystems. This book integrates the divergent literature into a coordinated, digestible form, following the flow of lipids from lower to higher trophic levels. Linkages between the production, distribution and pathways of lipids within the various levels of aquatic food webs, and their ultimate uptake by organisms, are highlighted throughout.
Flora Alpina
by David Aeschimann, Konrad Lauber, Daniel Martin Moser, and Jean-Paul Theurillat, 2004
Lavishly photographed and mapped, 4500 vascular plant species of the Alps are cataloged in this thorough, multi-volume reference set. An English-language introduction and index make it easy to find the distribution of particular species.
