Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 121. The new global tectonics that emerged three decades ago profoundly changed our view of the Earth and its evolution. Although the theory of plate tectonics gives a kinematic description of much of Earth's surface motions, our dynamical understanding remains incomplete and unsatisfactory in many ways. Key remaining issues include the mechanics of plate boundaries and intraplate deformation, the relation between plate-scale dynamics and hotspot volcanism, vertical surface motions (dynamic topography) associated with subduction, and the origin of the plate-tectonic style of convection itself. The past two decades have seen fairly steady progress on a number of these problems, spurred in large part by the advent of 3-D seismic imaging of the Earth's interior. More recently, advances in high performance computing have provided long-needed 3-D geodynamic modeling tools that are yielding new insights into the relation between mantle convection and plate tectonics, and the interpretation of seismic heterogeneity structure.…

Store description
Bücher kaufen und verkaufen an einem Ort, schnell und ohne Aufwand – so lautet unser Bookbot Erfolgskonzept. Mit unserem innovativen Konzept machen wir mit Bookbot den Online-Buchhandel nachhaltiger und bringen hochwertige, gebrauchte Bücher antiquarisch in den Umlauf. Mit der Leidenschaft für Bücher, dem Wunsch ihren Lebenszyklus zu verlängern und dabei gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren, hat Dominik Gazdoš Bookbot gegründet. Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern über Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen Österreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess übernehmen – angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der Bücher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen Käufer*innen. Verkäufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchschätze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgefächerte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern über alte Schätze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei älteren oder beschädigten Büchern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 glückliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle Käufer*innen. Nach gelungenen Markteintritten in Tschechien, Deutschland und der Slowakei, sind wir nun auch in Österreich tätig.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Bookbot, K Pérovně 1677/9, Areál Logicor, 10200, Praha, Czech Republic, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
