{"product_id":"introduction-to-the-physics-of-yves-gueguen-9780691034522","title":"Introduction to the Physics of Rocks","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinding viable solutions to many of the problems threatening our environment hinges on understanding the rocks below the earth's surface. For those evaluating the relative hazards of radioactive waste sites, investigating energy resources such as oil, gas, and hydrothermal energy, studying the behavior of natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes, or charting the flow of groundwater through the earth, this book will be indispensable. Until now, there has been no book that treats the subject of the nature and behavior of rocks in a comprehensive yet accessible manner. Yves Guéguen and Victor Palciauskas first discuss the physical properties of rocks, proceeding by chapter through mechanical, fluid flow, acoustical, electrical, dielectric, thermal, and magnetic properties. Then they provide the theoretical framework for achieving reliable data and making reasonable inferences about the aggregate system within the earth. \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to the Physics of Rocks\u003c\/i\u003e covers the important and most current theoretical approaches to the physics of inhomogeneous media, including theoretical bounds on properties, various effective medium theories, percolation, and fractals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book will be of use to students and researchers in civil, petroleum, and environmental engineering and to geologists, geophysicists, hydrologists, and other earth scientists interested in the physics of the earth. Its clear presentation, with problems at the end of each chapter and selective references, will make it ideal for advanced undergraduate-or graduate-level courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yves Gueguen,Victor Palciauskas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691034524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691034522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.41w x 0.96d","brand":"Yves Gueguen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112951689471,"sku":"9780691034522","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e530d994-f47a-4e9e-b4cb-9c01e4f17c73.jpg?v=1769612050","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-physics-of-yves-gueguen-9780691034522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
