Introducing a new adventure guide for people who love to travel and SWIM
This is a pioneering swim travel guide with over 20 locations around the Mediterranean island of Crete, where open water swimmers can discover routes between 25 meters and 6 km that have a particular beauty, novelty, scenery, or history.Explore impressive marine caves, fabulous beaches, circumnavigate islets, and swim through tunnels, gorges, and under sea arches.Swim in a bay where the great Odysseus once anchored his ships on his way to Troy, or over a WWII ship sunk on its way to rescue Allied troops.Experience amazing night swims to marvel at the brilliant stars above and flashing bioluminescent plankton below.Read extensive tips on open water swimming techniques, safety, preparation, gear, and navigation (piloting).Includes short swims for beginners, more difficult routes for advanced swimmers, and all are great for kayaking and stand-up paddling.Each location has a satellite map of routes, accurate GPS coordinates, and photography to guide the swimmer.Enjoy a dynamic eBook version that can be read immediately where all information links and GPS coordinates are clickable. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2013

This is volume 3 of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems, a six-volume compendium of modern astronomical research covering subjects of key interest to the main fields of contemporary astronomy. This volume on “Solar and Stellar Planetary Systems” edited by Linda French and Paul Kalas presents accessible review chapters From Disks to Planets, Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems, The Terrestrial Planets, Gas and Ice Giant Interiors, Atmospheres of Jovian Planets, Planetary Magnetospheres, Planetary Rings, An Overview of the Asteroids and Meteorites, Dusty Planetary Systems and Exoplanet Detection Methods. All chapters of the handbook were written by practicing professionals. They include sufficient background material and references to the current literature to allow readers to learn enough about a specialty within astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology to get started on their own practical research projects. In the spirit of the series Stars and Stellar Systems published by Chicago University Press in the 1960s and 1970s, each chapter of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems can stand on its own as a fundamental review of its respective sub-discipline, and each volume can be used as a textbook or recommended reference work for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses. Advanced students and professional astronomers in their roles as both lecturers and researchers will welcome Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems as a comprehensive and pedagogical reference work on astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. 6 927 kr
