This book was prepared for publication by an International Working Group of experts under the auspices of COGEOENVIRONMENT - the Commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences (lUGS) on Geological Sciences for Environmental Planning and lUGS-GEM (Commission on Geosciences for Environmental Management). The main aim of the Working Group "Geology and Ecosystems" was to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the mechanisms and special features within the "living tissue - inert nature" system under different regional, geological, and anthropogenic conditions. This activity requires international contributions from many scientific fields. It requires efforts from scientists specializing in fields such as: environmental impacts of extractive industries, anthropogenic development and medical problems related to geology and ecosystem interaction, the prediction of the geoenvironmental evolution of ecosystems, etc. The Working Group determined the goal and objectives of the book, developed the main content, discussed the parts and chapters, and formed the team of authors and the Editorial Board. The Meetings of the Working Group (Vilnius, Lithuania, 2002 and Warsaw-Kielniki, Poland, 2003) were dedicated to discussion and approval of the main content of all chapters in the Book.

Classic DC horror stories return to print, in this second collection of Swamp Thing comics written and drawn by legendary comics creator Rick Veitch!

Rick Veitch originally joined DC’s seminal Swamp Thing series as an artist during writer Alan Moore’s game-changing run, bringing to life some of the most inventive horror and fantasy concepts ever seen in mainstream comics.

Following Moore’s departure, Veitch took over as both writer and artist, continuing the revered creative legacy of Swamp Thing, and adding elements of time travel and metaphysics to one of the most unique comics of its era.

This volume collects more of Veitch’s run, following the previously released Swamp Thing by Rick Veitch Book One, including Swamp Thing #74-79; Swamp Thing Annual #4; Hellblazer #6-12; Swamp Thing Annual #4; and material from Who’s Who Update 1988 #3-4.

The ORIGINAL SINS collection is a loosely connected series of tales of John's early years where Constantine was at his best and at his worst, all at the same time.

Collecting the final six issues of the Multiverse series. The story sees diverse heroes from Moorcock’s sprawling Eternal Champion series united in a common quest to stop the criminal mastermind Silverskin from destroying the multiverse.
