Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Resources of the East St. Louis District In the discussion and interpretation of data of the kind commonly considered in this report it Should be constantly borne in mind that whatever other qualities they possess, such discussions or conclusions are based upon evidence with which there must always be associated a certain degree of error. This is inevitable. The physicist or chemist dealing with precise measurements and accurately determined condi tions may state with assurance the result of experiment or calculation. Likewise the field geologist in mapping outcrops and Sketching sections deals directly with his subject; acquires information first hand. The hydrologist, on the other hand, acquires much of his information through a class of men, oftentimes unscientific, and these, standing be tween the fact and its interpreter, lend a certain inaccuracy to a state ment of fact in a report. This is by no means usually intentional or even conscious, but the natural consequence of defective memory often Slightly reinforced by preference for a familiar interpretation. Thus a well driller or well owner without a written record of a well section gives from memory an approximate section, and both the suc cession of beds constituting the section and the depths at which they occur may vary somewhat from the fact. Further than this, there is. No possible way to determine the precise depths of formations in a bore hole other than by cleaning out the hole thoroughly and getting a sample from the bottom. In ordinary drilling this is not practiced and the drillings from one formation are mixed with the next lower one. It will be observed that for the usual purposes of the hydrologist no such refined measurements as the above criticism implies are necessary, but errors arising from lapses in memory are oftentimes serious. There is also considerable variations among drillers in the use of such words as sand rock, shale, lime rock, etc. Where records are supplied from memory they must be carefully checked, both as to depths and rock quality, by more trustworthy records.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Water-Power of the St. Louis River The possibilities of utilizing the water-power of the St. Louis River attracted attention in the early settlement of the head of Lake Superior, and the opportunities offered for transforming the picturesque dalles into sources of power for manufacturing purposes have been examined by numerous persons skilled in the various industries or in the specialty of hydraulics. In 1870, Mr. James B. Francis, C. E., of Lowell, Mass, reported upon the method of developing a portion of the water power of the St. Louis River at Thomson, Minnesota.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data on water quality and other environmental issues are being collected at an ever-increasing rate. In the past, however, the techniques used by scientists to interpret this data have not progressed as quickly. This is a book of modern statistical methods for analysis of practical problems in water quality and water resources. The last fifteen years have seen major advances in the fields of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and robust statistical methods. The 'real-life' characteristics of environmental data tend to drive analysis towards the use of these methods. These advances are presented in a practical and relevant format. Alternate methods are compared, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each as applied to environmental data. Techniques for trend analysis and dealing with water below the detection limit are topics covered, which are of great interest to consultants in water-quality and hydrology, scientists in state, provincial and federal water resources, and geological survey agencies. The practising water resources scientist will find the worked examples using actual field data from case studies of environmental problems, of real value. Exercises at the end of each chapter enable the mechanics of the methodological process to be fully understood, with data sets included on diskette for easy use. The result is a book that is both up-to-date and immediately relevant to ongoing work in the environmental and water sciences.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An impassioned book, laced with anger and indignation, about how our public education system scorns so many of our children.”—The New York Times Book Review In 1988, Jonathan Kozol set off to spend time with children in the American public education system. For two years, he visited schools in neighborhoods across the country, from Illinois to Washington, D.C., and from New York to San Antonio. He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was widening—and it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learning—including books and, all too often, classrooms for the students. In Savage Inequalities, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nation’s schools. Praise for Savage Inequalities “I was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . . Savage Inequalities is a savage indictment. . . . Everyone should read this important book.”—Robert Wilson, USA Today “Kozol has written a book that must be read by anyone interested in education.”—Elizabeth Duff, Philadelphia Inquirer “The forces of equity have now been joined by a powerful voice. . . . Kozol has written a searing exposé of the extremes of wealth and poverty in America’s school system and the blighting effect on poor children, especially those in cities.”—Emily Mitchell, Time “Easily the most passionate, and certain to be the most passionately debated, book about American education in several years . . . A classic American muckraker with an eloquent prose style, Kozol offers . . . an old-fashioned brand of moral outrage that will affect every reader whose heart has not yet turned to stone.”—Entertainment Weekly
