Book excerpt: Michael Schumacher has established himself as the outstanding Grand Prix driver of the 1990s. He has dominated the sport like no other driver since Fangio in the 1950s.By the start of the 1997 season, experts and onlookers alike regarded him as the best around, untouchable on his day, able to win races against drivers in superior machinery, able to master changing conditions while the others get confused. He demonstrated the rare blend of exceptional ability and nerve that defines a champion in any sport. He seemed to be on the brink of winning the World Championship.Then, in a split second at Jerez, everything changed. In an incident which was to be replayed and analysed time and again throughout the world's media, Schumacher's Ferrari collided with Williams, putting arch rival Villeneuve out of the race. Schumacher shrugged off what he called a 'mistake'. The press thought otherwise. By the next day he was cast as a villain in the eyes of the world.Under pressure to act, the FIA punished Schumacher severely. He became the first man in the history of the sport to be removed from the championship results for unsportsmanlike driving.At the start of the 1998 season Schumacher found himself playing the role of outcast. Armed with a more competitive Ferrari and with a passionate tea behind him, was it still possible for him to confirm his unique talent, to win races and, possibly, to win the Championship outright?Backed with the full co-operation of Schumacher and his staff, ITV pits commentator James Allen will give the full inside story of Ferrari's 1998 season - a year that could well see the redemption of Michael Schumacher.

Download or read book Rome and America written by Dean Hammer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome and America provides a timely exploration of the Roman and American founding myths in the cultural imagination. Defying the usual ideological categories, Dean Hammer argues for the exceptional nature of the myths as a journey of Strangers, but also traces the tensions created by the myths in attempts to answer the question of who We are. The wide-ranging chapters reassess both Roman antecedents and American expressions of the myth in some unexpected places: early American travelogues, westerns, bare-knuckle boxing, early American theater, government documents detailing Native American policy, and the writings of Noah Webster, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Charles Eastman. This innovative volume culminates in an interpretation of the current crisis of democracy as a reversion of the community back to Strangers, with suggestions of how the myth can recast a much-needed discussion of identity and belonging.

Download or read book Climate Extremes written by S.-Y. Simon Wang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although we are seeing more weather and climate extremes, individual extreme events are very diverse and generalization of trends is difficult. For example, mid-latitude and subtropical climate extremes such as heat waves, hurricanes and droughts have increased, and could have been caused by processes including arctic amplification, jet stream meandering, and tropical expansion. This volume documents various climate extreme events and associated changes that have been analyzed through diagnostics, modeling, and statistical approaches. The identification of patterns and mechanisms can aid the prediction of future extreme events. Volume highlights include: Compilation of processes and mechanisms unique to individual weather and climate extreme events Discussion of climate model performance in terms of simulating high-impact weather and climate extremes Summary of various existing theories, including controversial ones, on how climate extremes will continue to become stronger and more frequent Climate Extremes: Patterns and Mechanisms is a valuable resource for scientists and graduate students in the fields of geophysics, climate physics, natural hazards, and environmental science.

Download or read book Laws of Small Numbers Extremes and Rare Events written by Michael Falk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition of this seminar book in 1994, the theory and applications of extremes and rare events have enjoyed an enormous and still increasing interest. The intention of the book is to give a mathematically oriented development of the theory of rare events underlying various applications. This characteristic of the book was strengthened in the second edition by incorporating various new results. In this third edition, the dramatic change of focus of extreme value theory has been taken into account: from concentrating on maxima of observations it has shifted to large observations, defined as exceedances over high thresholds. One emphasis of the present third edition lies on multivariate generalized Pareto distributions, their representations, properties such as their peaks-over-threshold stability, simulation, testing and estimation. Reviews of the 2nd edition: "In brief, it is clear that this will surely be a valuable resource for anyone involved in, or seeking to master, the more mathematical features of this field." David Stirzaker, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society "Laws of Small Numbers can be highly recommended to everyone who is looking for a smooth introduction to Poisson approximations in EVT and other fields of probability theory and statistics. In particular, it offers an interesting view on multivariate EVT and on EVT for non-iid observations, which is not presented in a similar way in any other textbook." Holger Drees, Metrika
