The study of estuaries and coasts has seen enormous growth in recent years, since changes in these areas have a large effect on the food chain, as well as on the physics and chemistry of the ocean. As the coasts and river banks around the world become more densely populated, the pressure on these ecosystems intensifies, putting a new focus on environmental, socio-economic and policy issues. Written by a team of international expert scientists, under the guidance of Chief Editors Eric Wolanski and Donald McClusky, the Treatise on Estuarine and Coastal Science, Ten Volume Set examines topics in depth, and aims to provide a comprehensive scientific resource for all professionals and students in...

My gym shorts burrow into my butt crack like a frightened groundhog. Don't you want to read a book that starts like that?? Lupe Wong is going to be the first female pitcher in the Major Leagues. She's also championed causes her whole young life. Some worthy...like expanding the options for race on school tests beyond just a few bubbles. And some not so much...like complaining to the BBC about the length between Doctor Who seasons. Lupe needs an A in all her classes in order to meet her favorite pitcher, Fu Li Hernandez, who's Chinacan/Mexinese just like her. So when the horror that is square dancing rears its head in gym? Obviously she's not gonna let that slide. Not since Millicent Min, Girl Genius has a debut novel introduced a character so memorably, with such humor and emotional insight. Even square dancing fans will agree...
The purpose of this and future volumes of the Handbook of Genetics is to bring together a collection of relatively short, authoritative essays or annotated compilations of data on topics of~ignificance to geneticists. Many of the essays will deal with various aspects of the biology of certain species selected because they are favorite subjects for genetic investigation in nature or the laboratory. Often there will be an encyclopedic amount o( information available on such a species, with new papers appearing daily. Most of these will be written for specialists in a jargon that is bewildering to a novice and sometimes even to a veteran geneticist working with evolu tionarily distant organisms...
Zeit vergeht. Und vergeht doch nicht. Sie fließt und kreist um kreiert spielerische Momente, spiegelt und visualisiert alltägliche Virtualität und reale Nützlichkeiten. Sie ist ein Faltwerk gleich einem Origami, das sich nach und nach entfaltet, um geschrieben zu werden. Mit dem Auftreten zahlreicher Figuren, die stets mit einem Hallo in Szene treten, verhält sich René Sommers Erzählweise im vorliegenden Prosaband wie ein literarisches Avatarenspiel, in dem sich die Figuren selber in virtuellen Zeitmontagen mit dem fiktionalen Esprit einbringen, dass sie zu ihrer eigenen Zeit kommen und gehen, willkürlich am Geschehen partizipieren und immer auch eigene Interessen an der Realisierung einer smarten Spur befreiter Realität haben. Ob sie die Sprache wörtlich nehmen, verwandeln oder so verstehen, wie es ihnen passt, scheint ihnen überlassen. Was die poetologischen Zufälligkeiten und Gelegenheiten schildern, entfaltet sich ganz beiläufig zu einem Lehrstück über Konstruktionszyklen banalen Handelns und eines fluktuierenden chatartigen Szenenspiels.

Includes an audio CD of the author reading! For nearly four decades, Juan Felipe Herrera has documented his experience as a Chicano in the United States and Latin America through stunning, memorable poetry that is both personal and universal in its impact, themes, and approach. Often political, never fainthearted, his career has been marked by tremendous virtuosity and a unique sensibility for uncovering the unknown and the unexpected. Through a variety of stages and transformations, Herrera has evolved more than almost any other Chicano poet, always re-inventing himself into a more mature and seasoned voice. Now, in this unprecedented collection, we encounter the trajectory of this highly i...
