Crater Formation

Summary

Crater Formation explores the creation of craters, both from impacts by meteorites and asteroids and from volcanic activity. The book highlights how these features are not static, but provide a dynamic record of planetary history. By studying craters, scientists can reconstruct past events and understand the composition of planetary surfaces. The book uniquely integrates the study of impact and volcanic craters, treating them as complementary processes.

 
Did you know that impact craters can tell us about the bombardment history of planets? Or that volcanic craters reveal the internal dynamics shaping landscapes? The book begins with fundamental concepts in geology, physics, and astronomy, before examining impact cratering, volcanic cratering, and specific examples on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The approach is clear and accessible, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience. The book uses examples from NASA and ESA missions, along with geophysical data to illustrate key principles.

 
By understanding crater formation, we gain insights into planetary evolution, resource exploration, and even hazard assessment.

Olive Grove at the Edge of the...

Jared Gulian

The hilarious and endearing true tale of two urban Americans who escaped to a tiny olive farm in rural New Zealand. 
For Jared Gulian, leaving the United States and coming to tiny Wellington, New Zealand, was a big enough switch from the bright lights of big cities. So when his partner CJ decided they just had to buy a rundown olive grove in the Wairarapa Valley, it was almost too much to cope with. 
First they'd have to drive over the dangerous Remutaka ranges to get there, and Jared was terrified of heights. Then they'd have to figure out what on earth you do with 500 olive trees that hadn't been pruned for years, a geriatric rooster, warring hens, an obese kunekune pig, cast sheep, marauding cattle, and understanding your neighbors when they said "yiece" but meant "yes." 
In this delightful memoir, Jared Gulian describes the first four years of their new life in the country, its disasters and small triumphs, its surprises and pleasures. But most of all he describes the warmth of the local community that welcomed them, saved them from certain peril, taught them how to cook, how to care for animals, and how to understand and love the land. 
If you love Peter Mayle, David Sedaris, Frances Mayes, or James Herriot, this charming adventure is for you.
