Running Free

By Joan Ullyot

This book investigates the anomalous magnetic field of the ocean and its connection with geological structure, tectonic evolution of the oceanic lithosphere, and magnetic properties of different rock types in the oceanic crust. The book describes new instruments and techniques of gradient magnetic measurements with three sensors, as well as the new technique of processing and interpretating hydromagnetic data on the basis of adoptive filtration and reparametrization. The text provides unique data of geomagnetic surveys carried out by Russian research vessels in different regions of the World Ocean, including submersible apparatus and ingenious theoretical and experimental technology of the magnetic modeling and investigations of the nature of magnetic anomalies. The results of systems analysis of geochemical content and composition during the mid-oceanic ridge basalt are presented.

THE runner's book for women new to the sport.

The first time I tried to go running I was 17 and didn't know what I was doing. My friend and I ran for an hour, were terribly sore the next day, and that was the end of that. When I was 30 I picked up this book, and when I finished it I knew enough to start running and stay with it for 6 years until a knee injury stopped me. If you are an experienced runner, there are plenty of other specialty books and magazines that will be more interesting and fill in more detail, but if you have never run before, this is the book to start with, written from a woman's point of view. It will give you enough confidence and information to go out there and get started and see if this is the sport for you.
