{"product_id":"field-and-theory-michael-church-9780774802048","title":"Field and Theory: Lectures in Geocryology","description":"This collection of papers by internationally known scientists in the field of geocryology was originally presented as a series of lectures at the University of British Columbia in 1980-1 in honour of J. Ross MacKay. Together they illustrate the central dilemma in a science where fieldwork must be undertaken in the harsh periglacial environment and where, consequently, it is difficult to test theory rigorously. The papers provide a valuable overview of the current status of international research in a wide area of the field -- permafrost, patterned ground, and cold climate phenomena and processes. The treatment varies from anecdotal, historical, and descriptive to mathematical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Church\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774802049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774802048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michael Church","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447775211775,"sku":"9780774802048","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fcba922-5604-459b-8dc5-55b1176d7abe.jpg?v=1777234727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/field-and-theory-michael-church-9780774802048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
