Download or read book Grass Beyond the Mountains written by Richmond P. Hobson and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a trilogy, Grass Beyond the Mountains is a story of discovery and endurance on North America's western frontier by three good old-fashioned cowboys. With laconic cowboy humor and the ease of a born writer, Richmond Hobson describes the life-and-death escapades, the funny and tragic incidents peopled with extraordinary frontier characters, in a true adventure that surpasses the most thrilling Wild West fiction. In the fall of 1934, three cowhands with a dream of owning a cattle ranch made their way from peaceful Wyoming to the harsh, uncharted territory of the British Columbian interior. In conditions as challenging as any encountered by the western frontier pioneers of a hundred years earlier, the three men and their equipment-laden horses conquered the tortuous miles over narrow passes and mountain summits, hewed their first cabin from virgin timber, and attempted to carve out a space for themselves on the unforgiving landscape. Gritty, fun, and endlessly entertaining, Hobson's story is sure to entertain country- and city-dwellers alike.

Download or read book Volatile Texts Us Two written by Zsuzsanna Gahse and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrator of Volatile Texts: Us Two falls in love with Pierre, the book’s secret protagonist. During their trysts she rediscovers Switzerland, a place where every valley has its own language and every person is translated. It’s a perfect microcosm of Europe—a collection of accents, languages, and landscapes. Volatile Texts is Zsuzsanna Gahse’s ironic and prescient meditation on a Europe that is disintegrating in the same way that the Alps disintegrate into individual lakes and valleys. Yet language itself is the true subject of these prose miniatures, which are volatile and unstable because they expose language as an arbitrary construct made of interchangeable parts; however, this is also what makes the book such an exciting read.

Download or read book Chemistry of Multiphase Atmospheric Systems written by Wolfgang Jaeschke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapidly increasing interest in the problems of air pollution and source-receptor relationships has led to a significant expansion of knowledge in the field of atmospheric chemistry. In general the chemistry of atmospheric trace constituents is governed by the oxygen content of the atmosphere. Upon entering the atmosphere in a more or less reduced state, trace substances are oxidized via various pathways and the generated products are often precursors of acidic compounds. Beside oxidation processes occurring in the gas phase, gaseous compounds are often converted into solid aerosol particles. The various steps within gas-to-particle conversion are constantly interacting with condensation processes, which are caused by the tropospheric water content. Thus in addition to the gaseous state, a liquid and solid state exists within the troposphere. The solid phase consists of atmospheric conversion products or fly ash and mineral dust. The liquid phase consists of water, conversion products and soluble compounds. The chemistry occurring within this system is often referred to as hydrogeneous chemistry. The chemist interprets this term, however, more strictly as reactions which occur only at an interphase between phases. This, however, is not always what happens in the atmosphere. There are indeed heterogeneous processes such as reactions occurring on the surface of dry aerosol particles. But apart from these, we must focus as well on reactions in the homogeneous phase, which are single steps of consecutive reactions running through various phases.
Download or read book Duty Honor and Betrayal written by Rod Moon and published by Rod Moon. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pages contain my personal recollections of the valor of men willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of freedom. Men risking all, day after day, during their tour of duty. Men daring to fly into the jaws of destruction to save their brothers in arms. Whose accomplishments on the field of battle were belittled in the press, castigated by the "anti-war movement", and ignored by the rest of Americans. Men who endured a hostile reception in the country that sent them to war. They learned to keep silent about their service speaking quietly only to each other about it. They saw the honor given their fathers in World War II turned to scorn for their own bravery in combat.It is about those who flew with an elite unit specifically developed for this war. The First Cavalry was the first Airmobile Division capable of moving all its infantry and artillery by helicopter and supporting them by air in the field. The high level of firepower, speed and flexibility of movement was unprecedented in the history of war.The book reveals the failure of America to grasp the nature of the vicious contest between enslaving communists and the guardians of liberty. It exposes the insanity of street mobs bent on forcing an end to the Viet Nam War using the violence they claimed to deplore.It is about a national press abandoning investigation and patriotic reservation in reporting for a bold new method of using events to fashion a story to fit preconceived ideas. No military secret was safe, every horror was exposed, no condemnation of America withheld. The press quashed only criticism of the enemy and the lawless people in America's streets.In the end, dissembling traitors were hailed for their support of America's enemies and for ruthless lies about our soldiers. The government lacking the fortitude to continue its commitment to freedom left Southeast Asia to writhe in chains and slaughter brought by the communists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses various aspects of Israeli climate. This work also elucidates how both man and nature adjust to various climates. The first part (Chapters 1-9) deals with the meteorological and climatological network stations, the history of climate research in Israel, analysis of the local climate by season, and a discussion of the climate variables their spatial and temporal distribution. The second part (Chapters 10-14) of this work is devoted to a survey of applied climatology. This part presents information on weather forecasting, rainfall enhancement, air quality monitoring, and various climatological aspects of planning. There is no sharp division between theoretical and applied climatology topics. Moreover, though various sections seem exclusively theoretical, they also include important applications for various real life situations (such as rainfall intensities (Section 5. 3), frost, frost damage (Section 6. 2. 4), degree-days (Section 6. 2. 5) and heat stress (Section 6. 2. 6). Professionals and university students of geography and earth science, meteorology and climatology, even high school students majoring in geography will be able to use this book as a basic reference work. Researchers in atmospheric science can also use this work as an important source of reference. Students of agriculture will also gain theoretical and practical insights. Even architects and engineers will gain another perspective in their fields.
