Book Description
With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in many countries. In recent years there have been numerous debris flow avalanches in Southern Europe, South America and the Indian Subcontinent, resulting in major catastrophes and large loss of life. This is therefore a major high-profile problem for the world's governments and for the engineers and scientists concerned.
Matthias Jakob and Oldrich Hungr are ideally suited to edit this book. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial governments. Oldrich Hungr has worked on site investigations on debris flow, avalanches and rockfall, with emphasis on slope stability analysis and evaluation of risks to roads in built-up areas. He has also developed mathematical models for landslide dynamic analysis. They have invited world-renowned experts to joint them in this book.

Book Description
This volume presents a collection of papers by specialists contributing to the activities of the International Geographical Union Commission on `Natural Hazard Studies'. The main topics are: morphotectonic activities, slope movements, glacial, erosion and weathering hazards and man-made rapid modellation processes. Research on basic geomorphological hazards in high mountains can be understood not only as a set of case studies, but primarily as a rare opportunity for the preparation of theoretical models and for the understanding of the general architecture of the origin of natural disasters. Audience: This specialized book will be useful for natural scientists, graduate geographers and geologists and postgraduate students in earth sciences.

Product Description
Over the past decade there has been a gradual shift away from simply relying on engineering solutions to individual landslide problems, to the use of a variety of strategies to manage the problems over a broad area. Such alternative strategies include the use of building codes, land use planning controls, preventing water leakage, early warning systems and insurance schemes. This book addresses these developments and provides a multidisciplinary perspective on landslide management. Placing emphasis on the need to understand the scientific basis of landslide activity together with the legislative and administrative framework and the cultural background. Chapters include: Landslides and risk assessment; Landslide hazard assessment; Probablistic hazard assessment; Consequence assessment; Risk screening; Quantitative risk assessment; Risk acceptance criteria; Risk management; and Case examples.

Book Description
Caustics, Catastrophes and Wave Fields in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 "Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media" in the present book series, by analysing caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory. This volume covers the key generalisations of geometrical optics related to caustic asymptotic expansions: The Lewis-Kravtsov method of standard functions, Maslov's method of caonical operators, Orlov's method of interference integrals, as well as their modifications for penumbra, space-time, random and other types of caustics. All the methods are amply illustrated by worked problems concerning relevant wave-field applications.

Book Description
From basic terms and concepts to advanced optimization techniques-a complete, practical introduction to modern geometrical optics Most books on geometrical optics present only matrix methods. Modern Geometrical Optics, although it covers matrix methods, emphasizes y-nu ray tracing methods, which are used most commonly by optical engineers and are easier to adapt to third-order optics and y-??? diagrams. Moving by logical degrees from fundamental principles to advanced optical analysis and design methods, this book bridges the gap between the optical theory taught in introductory physics texts and advanced books on lens design. Providing the background material needed to understand advanced material, it covers important topics such as field of view, stops, pupils and windows, exact ray tracing, image quality, and optimization of the image. Important features of Modern Geometrical Optics include:
* Examples of all important techniques presented
* Extensive problem sets in each chapter
* Optical analysis and design software
* Chapters covering y-??? diagrams, optimization, and lens design
This book is both a primer for professionals called upon to design optical systems and an ideal text for courses in modern geometrical optics. Companion Software Special lens design and analysis software capable of solving all problems presented in the book is available via Wiley's FTP site. This software also serves as an introduction to the use of commercial lens design software. Appendix C is a user's manual for the software.

In January of 1968 Mark arrives in Fred, Texas, from Fort Worth via a brief stay in Ohio. He has followed his father who is pastor to a 100 member church in this simple town of simple people.
Mark, a young man of extraordinary intellect, has to find who he is in this town with which he seems to have so little in common. In his journey he finds more than himself; he finds his faith.
A westward family vacation car trek, puts a strain on the family but also provides many entertaining and humorous situations as Mark is forced to deal with many questions about himself, life, and finally-his God.
Customer Reviews:
Hard to put down.......2007-04-19
The cover (interesting) and the content (the story of a preacher's kid)made me carry this book to the check-out counter. However, it was the pacing, humor, honesty, and believable characters that made me turn page after page in rapid succession until there were none. Fortunately, I'm a bit behind the times, and so there was a solution: another trip to the bookstore to pick up the next book in the series. A wonderful read!
A FICTIONAL ACCOUNT OF A REAL FAITH.......2006-08-10
It seems ironic that such an honest and realistic depiction of the journey of faith is to be found in a fiction. I became familiar with Brad Whittington's "Welcome to Fred" from a review in the local paper. Being a native of east Texas and having pastored two churches, both within an hour of Fred, my interest was peaked. I am so glad that I went ahead and purchased the two sequels as well--"Living With Fred" and "Escape From Fred." Having been hooked by the first I would have regretted having to make a later order to complete the adventures of PK (Preacher's Kid) Mark Cloud. Once they arrived I read all three over a ten day period.
Mark Cloud could be any young teenager trying to find his place. Like most young people, he thinks his destiny is to be found in anyplace other than where he presently finds himself. The faith of the father influences the son, but a series of events leads Mark to discover and embrace it as his own. The father is a wise man who not only allows his son to ask probing and skeptical questions, but encourages them.
Whittington's vivid depictions opened a floodgate of memories and laughter as I reflected upon some of the colorful characters that do, indeed, inhabit the woods of rural east Texas. But more than that, the author captures well the honest struggles of the individual seeking to discover and embrace the mysteries of the faith. It was a refreshing break from the easy "believism," put God in a neat tidy box so you can have your best life now pabulum that dominates Christian publishing today.
One of this Year's Best .......2006-08-02
Immense praise for a writer whose lean, hysterical prose are a joy to read. Full of great scenes and real insight into characters. Completely believable. Plus, Whittington has an inspired approach to simile and metaphor, drawing the reader into a given moment seamlessly. His habit of taking a cliché by the feet and standing it on its head is both refreshing and clever, too. And the novel's message, while ringing clear and strong, doesn't intrude on the story. I really enjoyed this and highly recommend it.
Count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (Js 1:2-3).......2006-07-31
Pimply, nerdy, scrawny PK Dude endures big city life as son of a Southern Baptist preacher until moving to unbearably small Fred, Texas from whence 70s California counterculture tantalizingly beckons.
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
Psych.
Actually, if you can somehow find the strength to stumble/stagger/crawl your way through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death that is the first 64 pages (i.e. the first 7 chapters), then verily, verily, I say unto you that you WILL cross over the River Jordan & enter into The Promised Land Flowing With Milk & Honey ... um ... that is, you will surely enter into that social, economic & cultural wasteland otherwise known as:
Fred, Texas.
Because that's where (for me, at least) the fun, fun, fun roller-coaster ride of count-it-all-joy-my-brethren begins & doesn't end until everything is wrapped up tighter than the Wicked Witch of the West's congo drum in the ... um ... end.
Therefore, come all ye burdened & heavy laden, taste & see that the Cloud is good:
"I weighed the options. In one sense I was with Mom. If I had to sit on the side of a West Texas road in hundred-degree heat to learn patience, I could do without it. My interest in refining my soul had a limit, and that was definitely beyond it. On the other hand, I was fervently anticipating our arrival in California, the land of Ultimate Cool. I was willing to endure considerably more than occasional turns tapping on the carburetor in order to get there ... "
And that, gentle reader, was Mark Cloud -- preacher's kid & bookworm extraordinaire -- & he will be your narrator for the duration of the trip.
Entertaining.......2006-05-24
Fun story to read but there were way too many words that I had could not understand. Not just a few but at least 3 a page. I am an adult reading it. I bought it for my [...] son but there is no way he could follow the advanced words. I do not recommend this book for the younger generation.
