From the global impact of the Coronavirus to exploring the vast spread of the Australian bushfires, join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next hundred years.

Map-making is an ancient impulse. From the moment homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. But as Albert Einstein once said, 'you can't use old maps to explore a new world.' And now, when the world is changing faster than ever before, our old maps are no longer fit for purpose.

Welcome to Terra Incognita. Based on decades of research, and combining mesmerising, state-of-the-art satellite maps with enlightening and passionately argued analysis, Ian and Robert chart humanity's impact on the planet, and the ways in which we can make a real impact to save it, and to thrive as a species.

rn about: fires in the arctic; the impact of sea level rise on cities around the world; the truth about immigration - and why fears in the West are a myth; the counter-intuitive future of population rise; the miracles of health and education that are waiting around the corner, and the reality about inequality, and how we end it. The book traces the paths of peoples, cities, wars, climates and technologies, all on a global scale. Full of facts that will confound you, inform you, and ultimately empower you, Terra Incognita guides readers to a new place of understanding, rather than to a physical location.

The geology Wales spans a very long history, from the Pre-Cambrian, through the Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian - first identified in Wales - to much more recent Miocene rocks found in deep boreholes and, of course, glacial and post-glacial deposits.This guide describes the geological history of Wales, the evolution of its structure, its stratigraphy and the nature of the rocks and processes that have shaped the Welsh landscape. The book is fully illustrated with maps and diagrams which help to reveal the complexities of Welsh geology. The book is aimed at geology students and advanced amateurs as well as professionals who need an overview of the geology of Wales.

Original Title: A Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales with part of Scotland; exhibiting the collieries and mines, the marshes and fen lands originally overflowed by the sea, and the Varieties of Soil according to the variations in the Substrata, illustrated by the most Descriptive Names by W Smith.William Smith's famous 1815 geological map of 'England and Wales with part of Scotland' was issued between 2nd Nov 1815 and 17th Dec 1815. The map was the subject of Simon Winchester's book: The Map that Changed the World. The original map was never published as a single sheet: the large size of the original, and the size of the printing presses in the early 19th century, meant that it had to be published in fifteen sections, each folded into six 'panels'. This reproduction was produced by scanning the original panels held in the BGS Library, and digitally removing the joins. At its original scale of five miles to the inch, the map would have been eight feet long by six feet wide (if it had been published as a single sheet): this version is published at half scale: ten miles to the inch, and is colour-matched to the original.

The U.S. Atlas of Nuclear Fallout 1951-1970 (Volume 5 of the series) details the math behind the values found in volumes 1-4. Broadly, the total fallout values and radioisotope values were calculated from ratios associated with a set of documents known as the Hicks Tables. These tables, compiled by Dr. Harry Hicks and published by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, discuss radioisotope values for each of the major aboveground nuclear tests. In 1997 the National Cancer Institute published the results of a 15-year study titled, "Estimated Exposures and Thyroid Doses Received by the American People from Iodine-131 in Fallout Following Nevada Atmospheric Nuclear Bomb Tests." While the data was limited only to a single radioisotope, iodine-131, the Hicks Tables allowed estimates to be calculated for both total fallout and over 60 radioisotopes. The mathematical procedures associated with these estimates are found in this volume. The volume also includes an error propagation analysis by Dr. Stelu Deaconu of the University of Alabama's Propulsion Laboratory.
