Book excerpt: In Trenton Lee Stewart’s debut novel, a young man holed up in a decrepit trailer in tiny Lockers Creek, Arkansas, considers himself a failure. Abe Pittenger has spent the last few years doing roof work, the last month enduring a ceaseless rain, and the last few days on a desolate trip to the Gulf, saying goodbye to his oldest friend. Abe has bad knees, flat tires, a dying cat, and no plans. When the rain becomes a brutal storm and a flood claims the countryside, he unexpectedly finds himself in haunted territory that will shadow him the rest of his life. Marie Hamilton, meanwhile, has arrived in the pouring rain, knocking on the door of a middle-class Hot Springs home--that of her father, whom she has not known since she was a child. Bringing all her possessions in the trunk of her car, leaving her troubled history on the road behind her, Marie has one goal: to begin her life anew. When Abe and Marie meet and fall into a tumultuous relationship, they are forced to rethink their respective pasts--uncovering and confronting secrets they would rather not disturb.

Book Floods and Long Term Water Level Changes in Medieval Hungary

Download or read book Floods and Long Term Water Level Changes in Medieval Hungary written by Andrea Kiss and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 906 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an overview of the floods and major hydrological changes that occurred in the medieval Hungarian kingdom (covering the majority of the Carpathian Basin) between 1000 and 1500 AD. The analysis was based on contemporary documentary evidence presented for the first time and the results of archaeological and scientific investigations. Beyond the evidence on individual flood events, the book includes a comprehensive overview of short-, medium-, and long-term changes detected in a hydrologically sensitive environment during the transition period between the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. It also discusses the possible causes (including climate and human intervention) and the consequences for the physical and human environment, namely the related hydro-morphological changes, short- and long-term social response, and human perception issues.

Book The Flood of 2013

  • Author : Herald
  • Publisher : Greystone Books
  • Release : 2013-09-20
  • ISBN : 1771640340
  • Pages : 295 pages

Download or read book The Flood of 2013 written by Herald and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flood of 2013 chronicles an unforgettable summer of angry rivers, unprecedented flooding and undeniable human spirit. This book looks at how the disaster irrevocably changed southern Alberta and its people. In the face of disaster, Albertans showed their true grit and rose above adversity—just like their ancestors did for generations before them. The flood began in southern Alberta on June 20 and led to four deaths, billions of dollars in damage and more than 100,000 people fleeing their homes to escape raging waters. More than eighty Herald journalists—photographers, writers, editors, videographers, researchers and digital producers—became involved in narrating the tale of the flood. Using their words and images, this stunning volume captures not only the devastation and destruction of the flood but also the emergence of heroes and heartfelt moments. Neighbours helped neighbours. Strangers helped strangers. And Albertans vowed to recover, come hell or high water.

Book International Cooperation  The Alternatives   6th International Seminar On Nuclear War

Download or read book International Cooperation The Alternatives 6th International Seminar On Nuclear War written by Antonino Zichichi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1992-08-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of four chapters to address at different modeling levels for different nanoscale MOS structures (Single- and Multi-Gate MOSFETs). The collection of these chapters in the book are attempted to provide a comprehensive coverage on the different levels of electrostatics and transport modeling for these devices, and relationships between them. In particular, the issue of quantum transport approaches, analytical predictive 2D/3D modeling and design-oriented compact modeling. It should be of interests to researchers working on modeling at any level, to provide them with a clear explanation of theapproaches used and the links with modeling techniques for either higher or lower levels.

Book The Yellow River

Download or read book The Yellow River written by Tetsuya Kusuda and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellow River basin, located in the semi-arid and arid climate zones in northern China is confronted with serious problems of water deficit as well as water pollution. Due to increasing population levels, rising living standards, increasing pressure of expanding irrigation areas and developing industries in the basin, efficient water resource allocation has become a pressing issue here. On the surface it appears to be domestic, but in reality the problem is one of international proportions because it may impact other countries through trade. Development in the basin is restricted by acute water shortage, salinity damage and pollution. There are many scenarios for the allocation of water resources. One extreme is industry-oriented and the other is agriculture-oriented. The allocation between upstream and downstream is also another issue. In order to understand the current state of water resources in the basin and to provide a way of thinking about the issues, this book systematically explains the methods of modeling, mechanism of water circulation on each element and several technologies for water saving. It also introduces cutting-edge research results of the five-year project "improving the sustainability in utilizing and controlling water in the Yellow River basin" sponsored by Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST).
