Trade Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. 434 pages. Comprehensive Index. Tight, square book with no marks or stamps. A Special Issue of the New Mexico Journal of Science. Volume 26, Number 1 February 1986. This book is an anthology that is historical in nature with articles about geology, archeology, astronomy, space, laboratory research and more. The index references hundreds of names, places, and events. No other state has New Mexico's experience with scientific research. Here, geologists explore the earth for clues to its very origin; paleontologists pry from the ground the bones of ancient reptiles, and archaeologists seek out the remananats of America' first civilizations. Here, radio-telescopes scan the outer limits of the universe while physicists probe the atom's tiniest particles; technicians grapple with the mechanics of explosive force while engineers examine the intricacies of space flight; agronomists experiment with new crops while geneticists tinker with the buildings blocks of nature. New Mexico has the largest per-capita population of Ph.D. holders of any state in the nation, a thriving scientific community, and some of the finest research facilities to be found anywhere. Scientific research and development means jobs for thousands of New Mexicans, jobs which strengthen families and economy. The scientific climate in New Mexico also is responsible for generating a base from which scientific research can be conducted in a positive manner, where it is welcomed, where it is encouraged and where students from grade school and beyond can have access to scientific knowledge not readily available in other states. Contents: Science in New Mexico, Agriculture, Archaeology and Anthropology, Education, Energy, Engineering and Technology, Environmental Sciences, Geology, Space Exploration, Space Science and Astrophysics, and Universities, Institutes and Centers of Study.
