Some scuffs and abrasions but otherwise in good condition.<br/><br/> Iconic map of the impressive terrain below the ocean surface showing fracture zones trenches rift valleys and undersea mountain ranges including the immense Mid-Oceanic Ridge. Geological features above and below the ocean are labeled with heights and depths indicated. The work was produced from thousands of sonar images. Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors or lake floors equivalent to hypsometry or topography. This edition with Editions Pierre Charron produced with the American Geographical Society.<br><br>Marie Tharp 1920-2006 was a prominent American oceanographic cartographer and geologist whose work was incredibly important to modern earth science and to the advancement of women in the field. The discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and our modern understanding of plate tectonics and continental drift has been attributed to Tharp - although at the time she was often uncredited for her work. Bruce Charles Heezen 1924 %u2013 1977 was an American geologist. Under Tharp's influence he gave up the idea of an expanding earth for a form of continental drift. Tharp was Heezen's assistant while he was a graduate student. When she showed Heezen that her plotting of the North Atlantic revealed a rift valley Heezen dismissed it as "girl talk". She persisted and they eventually discovered that not only was there a North Atlantic rift valley but a mountain range with a central valley that spanned the earth.

The text includes a bevy of rules expense guidelines and more and offers a fine window into the near-obsessive attention to detail that marked the administration of the Spanish military at the peak of its powers. <br> <br> Of particular interest are several pen and ink sketches that include tools a ship in dry dock and storage bins as well as two much larger harbor plans of Palermo and Naples. Each drawing is keyed to a printed description of the location and shows fortifications lookouts and in the case of Naples dormitories.
