Download or read book Neptune and Triton written by Dale P. Cruikshank and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1995-11 with total page 1292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first reconnaissance of all the major planets of the Solar System culminated in the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune in August 1989. Neptune itself was revealed as a planet with gigantic active storms in its atmosphere, and off-center magnetic field, and a system of tenuous, lumpy rings. Whereas only two satellites were known prior to the encounter, Voyager discovered six more. Triton, the largest satellite, was revealed as a frozen, icy world with clouds and layers of haze, and with vertical plumes of particles reaching five miles into the thin atmosphere. This latest Space Science Series volume presents the current level of understanding of Neptune, its riings, and its satellites, derived from the data received from the Voyager. The book's chapters are written by the world's leading authorities on various aspects of the Neptune system and are based on papers presented at an international conference held in January 1992. Covering details of Neptune's interior, atmosphere, rings, magnetic fields, and near-space environment--as well as the small satellites and the remarkable moon Triton--this volume is a unique resource for planetary scientists and astronomers requiring a comprehensive analysis of Neptune viewed in the context of our knowledge of the other giant planets. Until another spacecraft is sent to Neptune, Neptune and Triton will stand as the basic reference on the planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Noelle Werlin, the beautiful wife of a rock 'n' roll legend, was never able to shake the ghosts of her past, but dying at the hands of one of those ghosts never crossed her mind." "In Woods Hole on Cape Cod, Noelle grew up as Neptune de Oliveira's daughter Celestina - otherwise known as Tina the Tease. Changing her name and running away to New York as a teenager, she thought she could run away from her life of unspeakable sexual depravity." "Tina's body is found with a marlin spike through her heart. Her cocaine addicted, philandering, husband, Butch Werlin, is the NYPD's primary suspect. But the morbid class reunion of childhood boyfriends who congregate for Tina's funeral think otherwise. They think the murderer is actually from Woods Hole, and that somehow their high school buddy Billy Bagwell has been at the center of some gruesome web since their teenage years." "Despite the dread Billy feels when returning to his hometown, he knows he owes it to Tina to see her off properly, that and even in death she can seduce him to her. Upon his return, Billy's past with his old friends - especially with the former wild man, present day Catholic priest Zal - floods his mind with classic machismo and rite-of-passage boyhood events. But some of their moments were a bit darker, and all revolved or involved Tina...moments that Billy doesn't want to remember." "This psycho-thriller carries Billy Bagwell deeper and deeper into long-repressed memories of thirty-five-year-old crimes from the days when Billy was known as "Bagger, the crazy Bagman." As the days grow darker, Billy finds himself caught in a turbulent tide of past homoerotic encounters, lost innocence, rage, religion and lust."--BOOK JACKET.
