BOX 1 Larson, L 1 Viking Society Book Auction 2010 The list presented here is of books belonging to the late Professor Peter Foote, now offered for sale by auction. Bids are invited. The auction will proceed as follows: Bids should be sent to [email protected] by 31st July 2010. Bids received after that date will still be considered (on a first-come, first-served basis) if there is no other bid for the item. Bids can also be sent by post to Alison Finlay, Dept of English, Birkbeck College, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX. It is not necessary to be a member of the Viking Society in order to bid. Libraries and other institutions are invited to bid, as well as individuals. The book will normally be sold to the highest bidder. There is no minimum reserve price. If two or more identical bids are received, the bid received earliest will be successful. Buyers will be required either to pay for postage/carriage, or to make arrangements to collect books from University College London. Normally buyers will be informed of their successful bids and sent an invoice to cover the cost plus carriage; books will be despatched when paid for. Bidders should bear in mind that carriage can add up to a very significant addition to the price of the books! For indications of the cost, consult http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump2?catId=400023&mediaId=11200122 Large orders will be sent by courier, but the price will be comparable to that charged by Parcelforce. We will make every effort to despatch books as soon as possible. Because of the large volume of items, however, some items will be sent several months after the deadline for bids. Books are listed in no particular order. Box numbers refer to the location where books are stored, and are of no relevance to those making bids. It would be helpful, however, if those making bids could include references to the box numbers of the books they are interested in. In some cases sets of two or more books have been accidentally separated in the packing process and volumes will be in more than one box; in some but not all cases these have been cross-referenced. Some sets of periodicals and encyclopedias are included (e.g. Mediaeval Scandinavia, Kulturhistoriskt Lexikon). Preference will normally be given to bids for complete sets. This does not apply, however, to books published in series (e.g. Early Icelandic Manuscripts in Facsimile, Studia Islandica). The condition of the books has not been described in detail, unless they are significantly damaged. Otherwise they can be assumed to be in good or very good condition. Where a book has been rebound, or is otherwise a particularly fine copy, this has been indicated. It is also not always noted whether they are in paperback or hard cover. Unsold books will probably be re-offered in a subsequent auction at a later date. It is a priority, however, to reduce the volume of stored books as much as possible, so even very low bids will be accepted in most cases. Books (including cost of carriage) can be paid for by cheque to ‘The Viking Society’, or by PayPal (via the Viking Society web site) using a credit or debit card. All proceeds of the auction will go to the Foote Memorial Fund, which will be used to fund a bursary or prize for postgraduate students awarded by the Viking Society. 2 BOX 1 Larson, L. M.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Iceland and the Crisis: Territory, Europe, Identity
    Revista Română de Geografie Politică Year XIII, no. 1, May 2011, pp. 5-15 ISSN 1454-2749, E-ISSN 2065-1619 Article no. 131101-216 ICELAND AND THE CRISIS: TERRITORY, EUROPE, IDENTITY Luca ZARRILLI* University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Italy. Department of Economics and History of the Territory, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The growing phase of Iceland’s economy, which began after World War II, was brusquely interrupted in October 2008, when the country was brought to the verge of bankruptcy and Icelanders were catapulted in the so- called kreppa: the very serious financial and social crisis with which Icelanders will have to deal in the years to come. The financial crisis, actually, has been producing, in the last two-year period, significant consequences also in terms of domestic politics, international relations (with special regard to an entry in the EU backed by the new government), cultural debate and even national identity, in addition to the highly evident economic effects. An exploitation of the advanced skills that Iceland has achieved in areas related to the analysis and the governance of the territory could be the response to the crisis from the points of view of environmental sustainability and business diversification. Additionally, it could represent a reaffirmation – as well as a redefinition – of a cultural identity. Key words: Iceland, crisis, EU, territory, identity ****** Iceland between reality and stereotype – In the collective imagery, Iceland distinguishes itself because of its geological and natural features, according to a stereotyped vision of this land (a land characterised by “ice and fire”, “the wild” and “the extreme”).

  • Thermal and Crustal Evolution of Mars Steven A
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 107, NO. E7, 10.1029/2001JE001801, 2002 Thermal and crustal evolution of Mars Steven A. Hauck II1 and Roger J. Phillips McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences and Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Washington University, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA Received 11 October 2001; revised 4 February 2002; accepted 11 February 2002; published 16 July 2002. [1] We present a coupled thermal-magmatic model for the evolution of Mars’ mantle and crust that may be consistent with estimates of the average crustal thickness and crustal growth rate. By coupling a simple parameterized model of mantle convection to a batch- melting model for peridotite, we can investigate potential conditions and evolutionary paths of the crust and mantle in a coupled thermal-magmatic system. On the basis of recent geophysical and geochemical studies, we constrain our models to have average crustal thicknesses between 50 and 100 km that were mostly formed by 4 Ga. Our nominal model is an attempt to satisfy these constraints with a relatively simple set of conditions. Key elements of this model are the inclusion of the energetics of melting, a wet (weak) mantle rheology, self-consistent fractionation of heat-producing elements to the crust, and a near- chondritic abundance of those elements. The latent heat of melting mantle material is a small (percent level) contributor to the total planetary energy budget over 4.5 Gyr but is crucial for constraining the thermal and magmatic history of Mars. Our nominal model predicts an average crustal thickness of 62 km that was 73% emplaced by 4 Ga.

  • Testing Hypotheses for the Origin of Steep Slope of Lunar Size-Frequency Distribution for Small Craters

The origin of the steep segment in the distribution is not well understood. Nonetheless, craters smaller than a few km in diameter are widely used to estimate the crater retention age for areas so small that the number of larger craters is statistically insufficient. Future missions to the moon, which will obtain high resolution images, will provide a new, large data set of small craters. Thus it is important to review current hypotheses for their distributions before future missions are launched. We examine previous and new arguments and data bearing on the admixture of endogenic and secondary craters, horizontal heterogeneity of the substratum, and the size-frequency distribution of the primary production function. The endogenic crater and heterogeneous substratum hypotheses are seen to have little evidence in their favor, and can be eliminated. The primary production hypothesis fails to explain a wide variation of the size-frequency distribution of Apollo panoramic photographs.
