Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya provides an overview on
general geology and tectonics of all the Precambrian domains of the
Himalayan terrain. Authored by an expert with over five decades of
laboratory, field and publication experience, the book studies the
"Window" zones to provide a scope for understanding Precambrian
deformation effects. The book fills a gap in literature,
specifically covering the Precambrian geotectonic picture of the
terrain. Considering Precambrian regional events are not clearly
recognized or visualized in many sectors due to overlapping
crystallines, this book details a Precambrian geotectonic framework
of the terrain on which the Himalayan event evolved. This book is a
necessary reference guide for Earth scientists, exploration and
hazard management scientists, professors, students and anyone who
carries out research that requires a comprehensive picture of the
Precambrian Himalaya and the adjacent peninsula.
This book presents range of topics concerning integrated CAD
(including Optimization) for use in Architecture (including
Planning), Civil Engineering and Construction (AEC), and thus,
helps introduce a full-length treatment of the subject, enabling
practitioners to adopt an Integrated Computer-Aided Design Approach
in their professional activity. The book gives to readers an
understanding of the main elements of CAD, highlighting the
importance of integrating these elements and the applicability of
Integrated CAD in AEC. Many examples and problems (including
Optimization) are included to help professionals and students to
develop and apply such tools in solving problems in AEC field.
Adopts a problem solving approach in planning, design, and
management stressing IT and Computer Application in AEC sector as a
whole; Emphasizes resource-efficiency and social equity in problem
solution in the AEC sector in general, and in urban development and
management in particular; Stresses optimization and an integrated
approach covering all components, including costs, affordability
and environmental factors, scarcity of resources, and resolution of
conflicting interests; Includes an accessible overview and source
codes of C++ and Auto Lisp programs needed to carry out design
analysis, optimization and drafting-drawing in an integrated
manner.
Geology of the Himalayan Belt: Deformation, Metamorphism,
Stratigraphy presents sophisticated metamorphic and igneous rock
data across various Himalayan geographic sectors, capturing their
petrography, metamorphism, structure, mineralization, and regional
tectonic research. With an east-west extension of about 3000
kilometers and numerous 8000 meter peaks, the Himalayas are the
most spectacular mountain ranges on earth. Since the 19th century,
they have provided a testing ground of global importance for the
development of geodynamic concepts, from isostasy over continental
collision, to more recently, feedback mechanisms between tectonics
and climate. This book collects the broad range of data that's been
gathered on the Himalayas over the past 50 years, providing a
comprehensive analysis and interpretation on the available data
that brings the scientific community a better understanding of the
geological diversity and structure of the Himalayan belt, along
with new techniques that have applications in a host of global
geological settings.
