Our landscape is constantly changing, but before the dramatic
effects of erosion and mass movement take place, more subtle forces
work on the rocks, minerals and soils around us. Weathering is the
initial process which exposes the top few layers of the Earth to
the potential for change.
This book provides an introduction to the scientific principles
behind mechanical, chemical and biological weathering. Starting
with a consideration of the chemical and physical properties of
rocks and water, the authors proceed to an accessible explanation
of the weathering processes themselves, concluding with a review of
weathering rates and intensities, and a survey of the effects of
weathering on the landscape. Assuming little background knowledge,
the authors develop ideas from first principles to provide a
straightforward introduction to weathering for students of
geography, geology and earth and environmental science.
Few things are more essential to the success of an academic
institution than vital faculty members. This book is a rich
combination of findings from the literature and practical tools,
which together assist academic leaders and faculty in implementing
and participating in a successful formal mentoring program that can
be used as a strategy for maintaining the vitality of a diverse
faculty across all stages of an academic career. In Faculty Success
through Mentoring, the authors describe the tangible benefits of
formal, traditional mentoring programs, in which mentor-mentee
interactions are deliberate, structured, and goal-oriented. They
outline the characteristics of effective mentors, mentees, and
mentoring programs, and cover other models of mentoring programs,
such as group and peer mentoring, which are particularly suited for
senior and mid-career faculty. Also included are tools that
institutions, mentors, and mentees can use to navigate successfully
through the phases of a mentoring relationship. One of the unique
features of this book is its explicit attention to the challenges
to effective mentoring across genders, ethnicities, and
generations. No matter what role one plays in mentoring, this book
is an invaluable resource.
