Download or read book Physics and Modelling of Wind Erosion written by Yaping Shao and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-11-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive summary of the recent developments in wind-erosion research and a clear outline of its future directions. The physics of wind-erosion, from particle entrainment to transport and deposition, is described with rigor from the viewpoints of fluid dynamics and soil physics. The techniques for quantitative wind-erosion prediction through computational modelling constitutes a unique feature of this book in contrast to others published in the same field. For the first time, wind-erosion has been considered systematically as a multidisciplinary subject. The author has advocated the development of integrated wind-erosion modelling systems which couple dynamic models for the atmosphere and land surface with spatially distributed data for land-surface conditions. The successful applications of such a system have demonstrated its usefulness in wind-erosion assessment and prediction on regional to continental scales. This book offers a valuable reference point for researchers and postgraduate students engaged in wind-erosion related studies, ranging from global climate change to atmospheric aerosols, dust storms, air quality, and land conservation.

Download or read book The Smell of Rain on Dust written by Martín Prechtel and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beautifully written and wise … [Martin Prechtel] offers stories that are precious and life-sustaining. Read carefully, and listen deeply."—Mary Oliver, National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Inspiring hope, solace, and courage in living through our losses, author Martín Prechtel, trained in the Tzutujil Maya shamanic tradition, shares profound insights on the relationship between grief and praise in our culture--how the inability that many of us have to grieve and weep properly for the dead is deeply linked with the inability to give praise for living. In modern society, grief is something that we usually experience in private, alone, and without the support of a community. Yet, as Prechtel says, "Grief expressed out loud for someone we have lost, or a country or home we have lost, is in itself the greatest praise we could ever give them. Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses." Prechtel explains that the unexpressed grief prevalent in our society today is the reason for many of the social, cultural, and individual maladies that we are currently experiencing. According to Prechtel, "When you have two centuries of people who have not properly grieved the things that they have lost, the grief shows up as ghosts that inhabit their grandchildren." These "ghosts," he says, can also manifest as disease in the form of tumors, which the Maya refer to as "solidified tears," or in the form of behavioral issues and depression. He goes on to show how this collective, unexpressed energy is the long-held grief of our ancestors manifesting itself, and the work that can be done to liberate this energy so we can heal from the trauma of loss, war, and suffering. At base, this "little book," as the author calls it, can be seen as a companion of encouragement, a little extra light for those deep and noble parts in all of us.
Download or read book Motivation and Opportunity written by Augustus C. Ouano and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is indeed uncertain; it's an odyssey subject to natural, social, and economic pressures, which influence its course. However, it's the inner fire and drive in each individual that ultimately govern and determine the whole course of each human life. If an individual's motivation is sufficiently strong, it will weather through the ever-changing environment until an opportunity opens, which can allow one's desires to be fulfilled. This is the story of a third-world country immigrant who came to the United States to quench his thirst for knowledge and his desire to participate in, and to contribute to, the science and technology of the twenty-first century. It tells about his struggles, his pain of failures, and the ecstasy of his successes to become a renowned scientist and technologist, and a major contributor to modern science and technology. It also tells about love, the celebration of life, and the grief of losing his most beloved wife through cancer. Finally, it describes how he escaped from the corrosive grip of extreme bitterness into gratefulness for an exceptionally fulfilling life and the promise of the future generation he is holding in his arms.

Book excerpt: The rocket was still approximately eighty miles above the surface, but the outlines and contours of the mysterious red planet were staggeringly clear. A terrain of what could only be described as blood-red boulders scattered accidentally across a huge swathe of terracotta colored sand. It was a landscape that defied the senses, a cacophony of stains and pigments, but overwhelmingly pinks, Venetian reds and rich mahoganies.An alien world where man had never dared to set foot, but in the days to come he would attempt to do... exactly that.
