Outil pédagogique, ce guide présente les principes de la classification décimale de Dewey, de la pratique de l'indexation et de la cotation. Les tables abrégées et l'index thématique sont issus de la 23e édition de la CDD publiée en 2011 en langue anglaise par l'OCLC. Sans bouleversements notables, cette nouvelle édition en français apporte cependant nombre d'enrichissements et d'éclaircissements. ©Electre 2018 Plus de 200 000 bibliothèques, appartenant à 135 pays des cinq continents, utilisent aujourd'hui la Classification décimale de Dewey (CDD) pour le classement de leurs collections. De grands répertoires bibliographiques et un nombre croissant de bibliographies nationales l'ont également adoptée. En France, son application - limitée d'abord au secteur de la lecture publique - s'est progressivement étendue aux bibliothèques et centres de documentation et d'information des établissements d'enseignement du second degré ainsi qu'aux bibliothèques universitaires ; c'est aussi en Dewey que sont cotées les collections en accès libre de la Bibliothèque nationale de France et que sont indexés (conjointement avec Rameau pour l'indexation alphabétique) les documents signalés dans la Bibliographie nationale française. Ce Guide a été élaboré en priorité à l'intention des étudiants et des formateurs en bibliothéconomie et sciences de l'information. La présentation générale aborde les problèmes d'accès aux collections et des notions générales sur les classifications et met ensuite l'accent sur la CDD, son histoire, son organisation interne, ses caractéristiques. Dans les tables et les index ont été introduites les principales modifications et mises à jour de la XXIIIe édition américaine, publiée sous la direction de Joan S. Mitchell par OCLC, avec notamment une simplification des intitulés des grandes divisions et des enrichissements, surtout en informatique, religion, sciences sociales et arts. Première approche de la Classification décimale de Dewey, cet outil a l'ambition de faciliter le recours à la version intégrale. Il peut également être utilisé comme manuel de cotation par les bibliothèques de petite et moyenne importance et les CDI des lycées et collèges.

Depuis 3,85 milliards d’années, la naturen’a eu de cesse de faire prospérer la vie. C’est dire si elle a un temps d’avance sur nous ! Grâce à la science, nous prenons chaque jour un peu plus la mesure des incroyables performances du monde vivant. « Prenez vos leçons dans la nature ! », disait Léonard de Vinci. Des ailes « solaires » du papillon Morpho au ver marin donneur de sang universel, des algues puits de carbone aux enseignements médicaux des chimpanzés, en passant par le fil de l’araignée cinq fois plus solide quel’acier… l’homme s’émerveille et invente. Cannes pour aveugles basées sur l’écholocalisation, éoliennes à haut rendement aussi flexibles que des ailes, bâtiments « vivants » sensibles comme la pomme de pin aux variations du climat, et peut-être un jour des villes éclairées grâce aux lumières des abysses, la source d’inspiration est inépuisable et les champs d’application du biomimétisme multiples. De nombreuses solutions aux problèmes que rencontrent nos sociétés semblent se trouver au cœur de la nature qui nous entoure, écoutons-la !Ce beau livre présente 30 exemples de démarches bio-inspirées et montre comment, à partir du génie de la nature enfin dévoilé, des chercheurs, des innovateurs et des entrepreneurs imaginent pour nous le monde de demain.

The last comprehensive review of the fossil vertebrates from the Miocene of Calvert Cliffs was published more than 100 years ago. This volume is a collection of papers that updates some of the geological features of Calvert Cliffs and provides reviews of the fossil biota that includes representatives from the following taxonomic groups: chondrichthyans (chimaeras, shark, skates, and rays), actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes), crocodilians (crocodiles), pinnipeds (seals), and sirenians (sea cows). Peter Vogt, Ralph R. Eshelman, and Stephen J. Godfrey document how the 20-40 m (65-130 feet) high Calvert Cliffs along the Western Shore of Chesapeake Bay continue to yield insights into 18-8 Ma (middle Miocene) geology, marine and terrestrial vertebrate fauna, and origin and evolution of Chesapeake Bay and Calvert Cliffs up to the present. These exposures rank high among the best-known fossiliferous deposits of any age. Bretton W. Kent describes the cartilaginous fish (the chondrichthyan) fauna consisting of 53 species; three chimaeras (ratfishes), 38 sharks, and 12 skates and rays; a fauna rich in large macrophagous sharks and large neritic rays. Giorgio Carnevale and Stephen J. Godfrey present an account of the 38 actinopterygian taxa known from osteological remains and a diverse otolith assemblage of at least 55 taxa. These actinopterygians show an affinity for well-oxygenated muddy and sandy substrates dominated by shallow water species characteristic of the inner shelf, and secondarily by epipelagic taxa. Robert E. Weems details the crocodilians referable to the tomistomine Thecachampsa. The closest living relative is Tomistoma schlegelii, the false-gharial of Southeast Asia. Two species are present: Thecachampsa sericodon and T. antiquus.--

This open access book offers a fully illustrated compendium of glossary terms and basic principles in the field of palynology, making it an indispensable tool for all palynologists. It is a revised and extended edition of “Pollen Terminology. An illustrated handbook,” published in 2009. This second edition, titled “Illustrated Pollen Terminology” shares additional insights into new and stunning aspects of palynology. In this context, the general chapters have been critically revised, expanded and restructured. The chapter “Misinterpretations in Palynology” has been extended with new research data and additional ambiguous terms, e.g., polyads vs. massulae; the chapter “Methods in Palynology” has been extensively enhanced with illustrated protocols showing the majority of the methods and techniques used when studying recent and fossil pollen with LM, SEM and TEM. Moreover, additional information about the description and publication of pollen data is provided in the chapter “How to Describe and Illustrate Pollen Grains.” Various other parts of the general chapters have now been updated and/or extended with more comprehensive textual passages and new illustrations. The chapter “Illustrated Pollen Terms” now features new and more appropriate examples of each term, including additional LM micrographs. Where necessary, the entries for selected pollen terms have been refined by rewording or adding definitions, illustrations, and new micrographs. Lastly, new terms are included, such as “suprasculpture” and the prefix “nano-“ for ornamentation features. The chapter “Illustrated Pollen Terms” is the main part of this book and comprises more than 300 widely used terms illustrated with over 1,000 high-quality images. It provides a detailed survey of the manifold ornamentation and structures of pollen, and offers essential insights into their stunning beauty.

This book is an introduction to soil science and describes the development of soils, their characteristics and their material composition as well as their functions in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Soil functions include the delivery of goods and services for the human society, such as food, clean water, and the maintenance of biodiversity.The book is profusely illustrated with many coloured figures and tables to accompany the text and ease its understanding. Particularly, the chapter on soil classification, based on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), includes numerous coloured pictures to facilitate understanding the characteristics of particular soil types. Chapters on soil protection and remediation as well as on soil monitoring and the history of soil sciences conclude the book together with a very comprehensive alphabetical index, allowing for a quick and easy orientation about the most important terms in soil sciences.The book addresses all those, who want to orient themselves about soils, their functions, their importance in terrestrial and aquatic environments and their contribution to the actual and future development of the human society, such as teachers, practitioners and students in the fields of agriculture, forestry, gardening, terrestrial and aquatic ecology and environmental engineering, and of course, beginning students of soil science.
