Book excerpt: A series of field experiments in atmospheric diffusion was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California, in 1963. The primary feature which distinguished this series from similar experimental investigations was that instantaneous sources were studied. Puffs of tracer material were generated quasi-instantaneously by short bursts of small, horizontally fired, solid propellant rocket motors. Tracer samples were collected on a horizontal grid that had 350 sampling positions. All of the 43 experiments were conducted under thermally unstable atmospheric conditions. Analyses of the data identified the region of the turbulent energy spectrum which contains the eddies that are effective in diffusing the clouds. Eulerian measurements of turbulence are shown to be correlated with lateral rates of cloud growth. Downwind distributions of peak inhalation-level dosages were found to be quite irregular, with the anomalies unpredictable on the basis of measurable meteorological parameters. It was, nevertheless, possible to develop an operationally useful estimating equation relating peak dosages to distance from the source.

Book excerpt: A vivid and astonishing reckoning with the Gaddafi regime, from one of our most acclaimed and gifted international journalists The fall of Muammar Gaddafi, who was for forty-two years the great autocrat-madman on the world stage, is among the past decade’s most dramatic turning points. In Lindsey Hilsum, a renowned British correspondent for over a quarter century, the end of the Gaddafi regime has found its definitive chronicler.

For the paperback edition, Hilsum brings her analysis up to the present day—with new material on the killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the July elections, and the Benghazi anti-militia demonstrations—and explores what the future of Libya will bring.

Book excerpt: Stories are told of the wild Tribes who control the untamable Desert, the bloody battles that are waged there, but little is actually known. In a place where alliances are as shifting as the sands, one Tribe is universally regarded as the most dangerous: the Ghost Tribe, led by the bloodthirsty Sheik Hashim and his son Sahayl, called the Sandstorm. Sahayl is not his father, however, and would rather see the Tribes find a way to live peacefully. When a meeting to negotiate peace with the Falcon Tribe goes wrong, nobody is more disappointed than Sahayl, especially as it means he'll never come to better know the beautiful, blue-eyed Falcon who challenged him. Then the violence in the Desert abruptly worsens as Tribes believed long dead begin to appear, and sorting ally from enemy becomes impossible. To save his Tribe and the Desert, Sahayl must take drastic measures that will reshape the Desert in a way that only a Sandstorm can...

Download or read book Sixties Sandstorm written by Brian C. Kalt and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, Senator Philip Hart of Michigan introduced legislation to add Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes and 77,000 surrounding acres to America's National Park system. The 1,600 people who lived in the proposed park area feared not only that the federal government would confiscate their homes, but that a wave of tourists would ensue and destroy their beloved and fragile lands. In response, they organized citizen action groups and fought a nine-year battle against the legislation. Sixties Sandstorm is not a book about dunes as much as it is a book about people and their government. It chronicles the public meetings, bills, protests, and congressional interactions that led to the signing of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes Act in 1970. The Dunes park fight is a case study of the politics, the legislative process, citizen response to the expanded role of government in the 1960s, and the rise of the environmental movement in America during that decade. Since Hart's legislation was made law, millions of Americans have traveled to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore. Few imagine what the area would look like today if not for the efforts of people like Senator Hart. On the other hand, few appreciate the sacrifice of the landowners who-not always willingly-gave up their property in this place where, as one resident put it, "stars are closer to the earth than anywhere else in the world."

Download or read book Sandstorm Policy Failure in the Middle East written by Leon Hadar and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time has come for a serious debate on the future involvement of the United States in the Middle East and this original and provocative analysis challenges the prevailing wisdom of the Washington foreign policy establishment. Hadar provides a sweeping reexamination of the conceptual bases of American policy and proposes a strategy of "constructive disengagement" from the region, a policy of benign neglect as a way of promoting the interests of the United States as well as those of the people of the Middle East. In Sandstorm, Hadar calls for regional states and the European Union to take increased responsibility for security, economic growth, and political stability. This bold and innovative critique will inject new energy into the policy debate.
