This basics edition of NURSING ASSISTANT: A NURSING PROCESS APPROACH is your compePiton de la Fournaise and Karthala are both shield volcanoes in the southwest Indian Ocean. This publication summarizes the work done on these very active basaltic volcanoes. Piton de la Fournaise has a long history of scientific research and monitoring, with many data collected during recent eruptions. It is certainly one of the most studied volcanoes in the world. The work presented in this monograph includes geological, geophysical, geochemical and petrological aspects, but also studies on physical geography, natural hazards and the sociological and behavioural approaches. If the Karthala volcano is much less known, it offers an interesting complementarity with Piton de la Fournaise. Structurally close to the volcanoes of Hawaii, it differs by its more alkaline magmas and less frequent activity. Also monitored for more than 25 years, it has experienced extraordinary eruptions in recent years.Product IdentifiersISBN-101428317465ISBN-139781428317468eBay Product ID (ePID)72078739Key DetailsAuthorBarbara Acello, Barbara Hegner, Esther CaldwellNumber Of Pages704 pagesFormatCD-ROM / PaperbackPublication Date2009-06-11LanguageEnglishPublisherDelmar Cengage LearningPublication Year2009Additional DetailsCopyright Date2010IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight49.4 OzHeight0.9 In.Width8.5 In.Length10.9 In.Target AudienceGroupCollege AudienceClassification MethodLC Classification NumberRT84Dewey Decimal610.730698Dewey Edition22EbookeBook FormatUnspecifiedReviewsI believe that one of the greatest strengths of this textbook is the reflection of wellness? and caring (displayed by personal case studies).
