Download or read book Wind Farm Noise written by Colin H. Hansen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to wind farm noise prediction, measurement, assessment, control and effects on people Wind Farm Noise covers all aspects associated with the generation, measurement, propagation, regulation and adverse health effects of noise produced by large horizontal-axis wind turbines of the type used in wind farms. The book begins with a brief history of wind turbine development and the regulation of their noise at sensitive receivers. Also included is an introductory chapter on the fundamentals of acoustics relevant to wind turbine noise so that readers are well prepared for understanding later chapters on noise measurements, noise generation mechanisms, noise propagation modelling and the assessment of the noise at surrounding residences. Key features: Potential adverse health effects of wind farm noise are discussed in an objective way. Means for calculating the noise at residences due to a wind farm prior to construction are covered in detail along with uncertainty estimates. The effects of meteorological conditions and other influences, such as obstacles, ground cover and atmospheric absorption, on noise levels at residences are explained. Quantities that should be measured as well as how to best measure them in order to properly characterise wind farm noise are discussed in detail. Noise generation mechanisms and possible means for their control are discussed as well as aspects of wind farm noise that still require further research to be properly understood. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the topic, containing both introductory and advanced level material.
Download or read book I Will Survive written by Gloria Gaynor and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.
Download or read book New Zealand Lizards written by David G. Chapple and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is a timely and comprehensive summary of the New Zealand lizard fauna. Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal diversity present within the archipelago is only just starting to be appreciated. This is no better exemplified than in lizards, where just 30 species (20 skinks, 10 geckos) were recognized in the 1950s, but now 104 are formally or informally recognized (61 skinks, 43 geckos). Thus, New Zealand contains one of the most diverse lizard faunas of any cool, temperate region on Earth. This book brings together the world’s leading experts in the field to produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, life-history, physiology and conservation of New Zealand lizards.
Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book excerpt: BANNED IN 22 COUNTRIES . . . THE AUTHOR CLAIMS TO BE A POLITICAL PRISONER FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS PARTLY DUE TO THE PUBLICATION OF HIS CENSORED BOOK. Conspiracy Journal Presents The New Expanded Edition Of A Book That Has Caused Considerable Controversy Since It was Originally Published In The 1970s. This edition is not endorsed by: The Publisher Or Any Known UFOlogist, Conspiracy Buff, or the "Space Brothers." The author of this book and his friends say they started to delve into the UFO mystery and what they discovered is truly amazing. They circulated their finds over the years to an ever-increasing number of contacts. Whenever more reports of UFO crews speaking Germany and behaving like German soldiers or of sightings and documentation showing a UFO landing gear imprint in a clear swastika shape reached the authors, they took a closer look. There now appeared a distinguishable pattern, in proper time and date sequence, they hinted at a possible connection between the appearance of UFOs in large numbers and Hitler's possible survival and escape from Berlin. All publishers that were approached turned down the controversial nature of this manuscript. Only through the efforts of a dedicated group of individuals has this manuscript finally been published for all the world to see. Against threats and persecution, this incredible book details previously unpublished engineering drawings and illustrations of prototypes of the Secret Nazi Ships first invented toward the end of WWII.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.”—The New York Times Book Review A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).
Download or read book Flying Saucers and the Three Men written by Albert Bender and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you enjoy the fantastical characters and plot lines in shows like "Futurama," "The Matrix," "X-Files," and "Twin Peaks"? Curious about the sudden rise in polyamory and bisexuality, or the reputed use of psychic thought-waves by remote viewers to kill enemy combatants? Well look no further... New Saucerian proudly presents the original paperback of Albert K. Bender's "Flying Saucers and the Three Men" - the book that started off the Men in Black (MIB) craze and influenced several generations of science-fiction writers. This carefully crafted facsimile reprint features the wonderful cover art from the original 1968 paperback edition. In these pages, Bender tells the story of how he was "hushed-up" by the mysterious MIB, and then taken to another planet, Kazik, whose somewhat genderless inhabitants planted strange thoughts in his head. Were these MIB and spacemen from outer space, Inner Earth, or agents of some terrestrial government? This must-have ufological classic features annotations, introduction, and epilogue by saucer pioneer Gray Barker, who tried his damnedest to get the reclusive Bender to reveal the entire story.

Download or read book Space Review written by Albert Bender and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Saucerian is delighted to present Albert K. Bender's "Space Review," a collection of volumes from Bender's quarterly magazine of the same name. Bender was the founder of the first major UFO club in the world, the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB), founded in 1952. Even though the bureau was a great success, it was mysteriously closed down the following year. This rare anthology was originally published in conjunction with Bender's first book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men, which was beset by various "jinxes," Men in Black attacks, missing manuscripts, psychic disturbances, and other unusual delays. Until now, these issues of "Space Review" were only available to members. For the first time ever, they are being made available for the general public to enjoy. Inside, one finds interesting details that may lead to some understanding of what exactly happened to Bender, who became a media star after announcing he had been taken to a "bisexual" planet, Kazik. According to Bender, the denizens of Kazik had not only surrounded Earth with an array of orbiting spacecraft, but had also buried "motherships" in remote regions like Antarctica, in an effort to extract a key substance from our seawater. Bender's colorful descriptions of the people of Kazik, having received wide attention in the early days of ufology, influenced a generation of saucer enthusiasts, who put the stories into mass circulation. As a result, many elements of Bender's fantastical tale can still be found today, in programs like Futurama, The Matrix, X-Files, and countless others. "Perhaps the single biggest influence on saucer lore, ever..." -John A. Keel
