DOWNLOAD EBOOKProfessor Charles Howard offers a personal message to his son, Gadi, and to all new doctors. Now, as Gadi and other young doctors enter this calling, Howard seeks to provide advice and encouragement in the hopes that those choosing the profession of healing will find happiness and fulfilment in helping others, and avoid the arrogance and the lack of caring, that unfortunately, is sometimes found in the profession. Each new doctor must find, from the vast range of opportunities medicine provides, the perfect match to his/her interests and ambition. Howard chose the path of a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon, a career that for him has been most satisfying, edifying, and instructive. Over the years, he has experienced things that inspired him to be both a better person and a better doctor.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis unique book presents hundreds of spectacular photographs of large-scale to small-scale field geological features of flood basalt volcanism from around the world. Major flood basalt provinces covered in this book include the British Palaeogene, Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, Columbia River, Deccan, East Greenland, Emeishan, Ethiopian, Ferrar-Karoo-Tasmania, Iceland, Indo-Madagascar, Paraná, Siberian, West Greenland, and others. Intermediate- to small-sized flood basalts (such as Saudi Arabia and South Caucasus) are also included. Different chapters of the book illustrate varied features of flood basalts, including landscapes, lava flow morphology and stacking, structures formed during lava flow transport, inflation and degassing, structures produced during lava solidification, subaqueous volcanism and volcanosedimentary associations, explosive volcanism, intrusions, igneous processes and magmatic diversity, tectonic deformation, secondary mineralization, and weathering and erosion. This book will be valuable for a large audience: specialists studying flood basalt volcanology, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics, and environmental impact and mass extinction links; nonspecialists who want to know more about flood basalts; field geologists (such as those working in geological surveys); students of volcanology and igneous petrology, and even people employed in the industry, such as those working on flood basalt-hosted groundwater or petroleum reservoirs.
