Jan Mayen Island in Scientific Focus

Book Description

Jan Mayen is a volcanic island surrounded by the deep Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas. There, atmospheric and oceanic processes unleash potential energy that forces very dynamic interactions between sea and air. This unique geophysical focal point generates climatic variability in northern Europe, and supports marine biological production that sustains the yield of large living resources. The marine populations are clearly fluctuating with variations in climate, and raises questions about effects of man-made climate change. Since the last Ice Age the sinking of Greenland Sea Deep-Water has been a substantial driving force for the Global Thermo-Haline Circulation which feeds warm Atlantic water into the Nordic Seas. Global warming may interact with the deep-water formation and force feedback mechanisms that express themselves beyond imagination. The book addresses such problems to raise an interest for doing research on the island and in its waters. The potentials for doing that increases when the island's Loran-C station closes down in 2005. The book recommends how the international scientific community may gain access to this really challenging arena for local, regional and Global research. It is a blueprint for the logistics required for science to succeed in a very remote and physically demanding place on Earth.

Book Description

Parabolic equation methods, used to analyze radiowave propagation in radar and radio communication systems, are new and powerful techniques which have become the dominant tool for assessing clear-air and terrain effects on propagation. This book introduces the mathematical background to parabolic equation modelling and describes simple parabolic equation algorithms before progressing to more advanced topics including domain truncation, impedance boundaries, and the implementation of very fast hybrid methods combining ray-tracing and parabolic equation techniques. Invaluable to engineers and researchers analyzing diffraction and ducting in radio communication systems, the book's self-contained approach is also ideally suited to graduate students and other researchers interested in radiowave propagation and scattering.

Book Description

This book is an attempt to bring together various and diverse scientific areas of research that have the common theme of wave propagation phenomena.
There are few branches of Science and Engineering in which wave propagation phenomena do not have a part to play. Example areas of basic research and technological applications are shock waves in compressible media, stress waves in solid materials, astrophysical flows, electromagnetic waves, magneto gas dynamics, geophysical phenomena, hydraulics, combustion-driven waves and many others.
There are fourteen contributions from distinguished researchers from eight countries. The emphasis is on modern numerical methods for waves. The Harten Memorial Lecture presented by P.L. Roe, University of Michigan, USA, deals with state-of-the-art numerical methods with novel applications.
The book is suitable for scientists and engineers in all areas involving wave propagation. The level is advanced and suitable for post-graduate students and researchers in academia and industry.

Book Description

Known as the greatest playwright of all time Wiiliam Shakespeare has been immortalized in this deluxe 1448 edition of his works. This reproduction, from an original 3 volume 19th Century Manuscript,is beautifully illustrated by Irish artist George Cruikshank, joined by Sir John Gilbert, and R. Dudley.

This Complete Library of Shakspeare is divided into three sections: Tragedies, Comedies, & Histories with Sonnets.

Customer Reviews:

If you love Shakespeare..........2002-03-30

Do you want to know what "To be or not to be..." is really about? The script for Hamlet is here. On the other hand, "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" is from Julius Caesar, which also gave us "the ides of March." This book is a joy, and it contains the complete works written by the Bard of Avon.

It appears, at first glance, that this book only contains the comedies written by Shakespeare, but that is because there are three Tables of Contents within the book. These lists are placed at the beginning of each section, and the following page numbers begin at one again. However, not in the case of the Poems and Sonnets, which are in the Historical Plays list.

There is an additional list for the exquisite plates, which add another dimension to the historical significance of this library. The artwork, such as the three witches who enter to thunder and lightning in Macbeth, is extraordinary. You will find the work of:
* Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897) who created almost 750 pictures just for Shakespeare's works.
* George Cruikshank, who was the son of Isaac Cruikshank, a Scottish painter, and the primary illustrator for Charles Dickens.
* Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1532-1588). Dudley knew Shakespeare, and was once courtier in the court of Queen Elizabeth I.

For any student or lover of literature and art, or as a writer's reference, this is a requisite.

Book Lover's Dream.......2001-11-27

This book is an excellent buy. If you like to read and always find yourself wishing you had more of a great writers work then this is the way to go. It contains almost if not everything he ever wrote. The book cover is flawless. If you know some one who collects books or do yourself than you got to get this one. I would however not recommend this for young kids because of its size.

THE BEST BOOK OF SHAKESPEARE'S WORKS YOU CAN BUY!.......2000-06-14

THE LIBRARY SHAKESPEARE IS EXCELLANT. IT CONTAINS ALL OF SHAKESPERARE'S PLAYS, POEMS, AND SONNETS. IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL HARDCOVER, YET IT IS STILL THE EXACT SAME WORDS THAT SHAKESPEARE WROTE. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!
