The quiet world of academics at the University of Heidelberg, where James Chesler studies for his PhD in philosophy, is shattered when James learns of his father's death in California. Suddenly, two attempts are made on his own life. With his girlfriend, Chantal, desperate to keep her own sordid past from James, they run—wracked with confusion yet intent on discovering who threatens James and why. When CIA station chief Michael Kowalski reads of Charles Chesler's death, he knows the past has risen from the ashes of the botched Operation Sunburst he ran with Chesler years earlier in Argentina. He must find James, protect him, and seize the opportunity to resurrect his own stalled career from its ignominy since that debacle sixteen years earlier. Fear, rage and revenge scorch the pages of The Chesler Legacy from start to finish.
For most of the '80s and early '90s, Schulman wrote screenplays and stories, including scripts for "The Twilight Zone." For devotees of TV, movies, and science fiction, this book shows that sometimes the stories that aren't on the screen are as compelling as the ones that are.
This volume chronicles the making of the Harrier Jump Jet—the innovative Cold War fighter aircraft designed to operate from virtually anywhere. In 1957, the British engine manufacturer Bristol Siddeley turned aircraft design on its head with the creation of the Pegasus engine. Until then, aircraft designs would seek out suitable engines. Now the Pegasus was an engine in search of a suitable aircraft. The result was the famous Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the first military airplane capable of vertical takeoff and landings. To this day, Harrier Jump Jets are still in front-line service with air forces around the world including the Royal Air Force and US Marine Corps. In this volume, former Bristol Siddeley executive Andrew Dow offers an in-depth look at the Pegasus engine's original design concept, production and flight testing. Dow then covers the developments and improvements that have been made over the years. He also includes experiences of operational combat flying, both from land and sea. Written in straightforward prose that avoids technical jargon, Pegasus, The Heart of the Harrier is copiously illustrated with many previously unseen photographs and diagrams.

Davidson and Lynch explain criterion-r...
The Karkheh River Basin is the third largest basin in Iran after Karoon and Dez, and occupies a strategic position on the western boundary of the country. The basin has seen remarkable ancient feats of engineering, and has a long history of wheat and barley production, complemented by horticulture. With the growth of the modern nation-state of Iran, water development has progressed steadily in tandem with rising populations and urbanization. The report aims to understand the historical setting and present situation of water development and allocation, in relation to rural development and agrarian policy. It provides the contextual backdrop for further research on the management of water to improve livelihoods in the basin through integrated and sustainable management of land and water resources. It provides further information on the changes in surface flows out of the component subbasins and looks at the development, use and consequences of groundwater abstraction.
