Download or read book Tidal Power written by T. Gray and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when public attention is focused on the environment, while simultaneously society is increasing at an ever-accelerating rate its demand electrical power, the possibility of utilizing the power of the oceans by for pollution free tidal power generation is most attractive. Tidal power has been used to a limited extent over several centuries but only recently has any sig nificant effort been dedicated to realizing some of the vast potential. The first pilot project at La Rance has now been operating successfully for several years and the second experimental station using up-dated construc tion techniques has been in operation at Kislaya Guba since 1969. These projects have contributed valuable experience and establish the technical feasibility of this important source of electrical power, while providing guid ance in those areas requiring further development to realize economic viability. More than fifty sites can be readily identified around the world where tidal power schemes could realistically be developed. With improvements in technology, this number might well be extended by utilization of a large number of river estuaries. Such developments must be considered not only on the basis of the production of electrical power but also in respect of associated benefits. Considerable bodies of water would be partially confined, thereby improving recreational facilities as has already been experienced at La Rance.

Download or read book Gently with the Tides written by Michael L. Frankel and published by Ocean Conservancy. This book was released on 1990 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time or another almost all boaters-and many non-boaters-fantasize about leaving behind the house, lawn, and neighbors and moving aboard a boat. But leaving behind a familiar, comfortable lifestyle for the Perils Of The Sea is a quantum leap, not to be taken lightly. That so few actually make thr break has less to do with the rigors of the lifestyle than the lack of information about what it's really like. Since 1972, Living Aboard Journal has served as an idea exchange for the members of the Homaflote Association-live-aboards from all walks of life spread all around the globe. Fueled by 18 years of the best letters, articles, and firsthand accounts from Living Aboard magazine, Gently With the Tides is a powerful testimonial to the lure and romance of living aboard a boat. It is also a compendium of the pitfalls, disappointments, and setbacks. Most of all, it is a high-octane dream-feeder for liveaboard aspirants. It will help them decide whether to, it will tell them how to, and, most important, it will fill their dreams with why to.
Download or read book Beached 102 Low Tide written by Cherilyn Korber and published by Cherilyn Korber. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not welcome . . . Stacy Storm has hit rock bottom. Once a world-renowned psychic with a top-rated television show, he’s lost both his credibility and his career after he was exposed as a fraud. And once a New Yorker with a plush Manhattan apartment to showcase his success, he’s taken refuge in a notorious “murder mansion” in the genteel village of Bonfire Beach, South Carolina. No one wants him out in the world. And no one wants him in Bonfire Beach, either. All he has left is his own determination to prove that he’s not a fake, and thus reclaim the life he once had - but in doing so, he’ll lose the few people who think he’s worth more without it. Now he has to choose between those he loves . . . and those he hates. It should be an easy decision, but nothing has ever been easy for Stacy - especially when it comes to them. They are the only ones who can give him what he wants. And yet the price they demand is way too high: his very soul. All Stacy has ever yearned for is a place to belong. He figures he’s been around enough to decide for himself where that is, and he resents anyone who tries to change his mind. But then he discovers that nothing - and no one - is nearly as black and white as it seems. And everything he thought he knew isn’t quite so clear after all. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Sometimes it’s bad. Sometimes only time will tell. And sometimes only they will.
Download or read book Flowing Tides written by Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its isolation on the western edge of Europe, Ireland occupies vast amounts of space on the music maps of the world. Although deeply rooted in time and place, Irish songs, dances and instrumental traditions have a history of global travel that span the centuries. Whether carried by exiles, or distributed by commercial networks, Irish traditional music is one of the most popular World Music genres, while Clare, on Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, enjoys unrivaled status as a "Home of the Music," a mecca for tourists and aficionados eager to enjoy the authentic sounds of Ireland. For the first time, this remarkable soundscape is explored by an insider-a fourth generation Clare concertina player, uilleann piper and an internationally recognized authority on Irish traditional music. Entrusted with the testimonies, tune lore, and historic field recordings of Clare performers, Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin reveals why this ancient place is a site of musical pilgrimage and how it absorbed the impact of global cultural flows for centuries. These flows brought musical change inwards, while simultaneously facilitating outflows of musical change to the world beyond - in more recent times, through the music of Clare stars like Martin Hayes and the Kilfenora Céilí Band. Placing the testimony of music and music makers at the center of Irish cultural history and working from a palette of disciplines, Flowing Tides explores an Irish soundscape undergoing radical change in the period from the Napoleonic Wars to the Great Famine, from the birth of the nation state to the meteoric rise-and fall-of the Celtic Tiger. It is essential reading for all interested in Irish/Celtic music and culture.
Download or read book Tides of Change on Grand Manan Island written by Joan Marshall and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grand Manan Island, a 200-year old fishing village in the Bay of Fundy, has been overwhelmed by globalization, technology, and changing government policies. Changes on the island call into question the myth of the rural idyll and point to an urgent need for reconsideration of urban-rural divides. In less than a decade, the island community has faced the degradation of the wild fishery and rapid growth of aquaculture, an increasing presence of multinational corporations, new federal initiatives with respect to aboriginal policies, and widespread social dysfunction. Joan Marshall uses over twelve years of intensive ethnographic research to chart the nature and pace of social and cultural change on Grand Manan, showing how it relates to globalization and environmental degradation, as well as to a confluence of outside sources. The personal stories of the Grand Manan people bring to life their local struggles and show how their community, like other rural and fishing communities across Canada, is being inexorably changed by forces outside their control.

Download or read book Between the Tides written by David Pickell and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2003-04-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring hundreds of original, color photographs, this fascinating study of New Guinea chronicles the rituals and daily life of this remote and culturally rich region. Between the Tides offers a compelling mix of New Guinean storytelling, history, natural history, politics, and culture. David Pickell brings warmth and intelligence to his subject, and Kal Muller's photographs are surprising and evocative. Together, author and photographer show how an isolated, nomadic past meets a worldly, urban future, history confronts superstition, and a false and imposed sense of shame yields to a new, and still fragile, pride. Their journey took them from the dusty New Guinea frontier town of Timika to tiny Lakahia island, along two hundred miles of twisting mangrove creeks and the relentlessly uncooperative Arafura sea. What they found was a culture facing the delicate, sometimes humorous, occasionally painful, and always interesting process of change.
