Ocean Modeling in an Eddying Regime
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 177. This monograph is the first to survey progress in realistic simulation in a strongly eddying regime made possible by recent increases in computational capability. Its contributors comprise the leading researchers in this important and constantly evolving field. Divided into three parts Oceanographic Processes and Regimes: Fundamental Questions Ocean Dynamics and State: From Regional to Global Scale, and Modeling at the Mesoscale: State of the Art and Future Directions The volume details important advances in physical oceanography based on eddy resolving ocean modeling. It captures the state o...
Adorno
'Even the biographical individual is a social category', wrote Adorno. ‘It can only be defined in a living context together with others.’ In this major new biography, Stefan Müller-Doohm turns this maxim back on Adorno himself and provides a rich and comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. This authoritative biography ranges across the whole of Adorno's life and career, from his childhood and student years to his years in emigration in the United States and his return to postwar Germany. At the same time, Muller-Doohm examines the full range of Adorno's writings on philosophy, sociology, literary theory, music theory and cu...
The Wor(l)ds of Neapolitan Arts and Crafts
This collection of essays investigates the terminology of traditional Neapolitan arts and crafts analyzed from a novel linguistic and cultural perspective. With some exceptions, the trades examined in the contributions—including pizza and pastry making, the art of presepio (crib), lute-making and coral dealing, among others—still exist in Naples and in the Campania region. They represent an important component of the cultural heritage of the area that this volume brings to light by furthering current research in the fields of terminology, history and cultural anthropology. The book is divided into two sections, corresponding to the two languages in which the articles are written (English and French), although the terminological analyses also focus on Italian, Neapolitan and Spanish. This choice is expressly demanded by the political legacy of Naples, which for six centuries was alternately dominated by French, Spanish and Austrian rulers whose lasting influence on the city’s traditions and language the essays explore.
Ethnic Minority Migrants in Britain and France
This book analyzes migrants' labor market and political integration outcomes. It argues that assimilation trade-offs shape access to economic and political resources. Migrants who are more segregated have group mobilization resources to achieve economic and political success. Migrants who are more assimilated have fewer mobilization resources and worse economic and political outcomes. The book offers a unique perspective on why migrant groups have different integration outcomes, and provides the first systematic way of understanding why assimilation outcomes do not always match economic and political outcomes.
Magic Or Science?
Magicians pull off fantastic feats: Levitating a meter above the ground, charming a snake with a flute, finding lost objects with the help of a pendulum, swallowing a sword or walking on embers ... But how do they do it? Is it magic or is it science? Learn to question and discover how science can explain most of the secrets surrounding these amazing wonders.Get ready to move to the other side of the mirror!
Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics
Fluid dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. Although many of the same principles of fluid dynamics apply to both the atmosphere and oceans, textbooks tend to concentrate on the atmosphere, the ocean, or the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). This textbook provides a comprehensive unified treatment of atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. The book introduces the fundamentals of geophysical fluid dynamics, including rotation and stratification, vorticity and potential vorticity, and scaling and approximations. It discusses baroclinic and barotropic instabilities, wave-mean flow interactions and turbulence, and the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean. Student problems and exercises are included at the end of each chapter. Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation will be an invaluable graduate textbook on advanced courses in GFD, meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography, and an excellent review volume for researchers.

Natural Gas Processing
Natural gas is considered the dominant worldwide bridge between fossil fuels of today and future resources of tomorrow. Thanks to the recent shale boom in North America, natural gas is in a surplus and quickly becoming a major international commodity. Stay current with conventional and now unconventional gas standards and procedures with Natural Gas Processing: Technology and Engineering Design. Covering the entire natural gas process, Bahadori's must-have handbook provides everything you need to know about natural gas, including: - Fundamental background on natural gas properties and single/multiphase flow factors - How to pinpoint equipment selection criteria, such as US and international ...
Detroit
Une véritable plongée dans la Motor City à travers ce roman noir urbain à trois voix. Un texte coup de poing au style rythmé, magnétique et percutant. Malmenée par les rixes des gangsters, les liquidations judiciaires et les combats de chiens, Detroit observe ses habitants parcourir son ossature de métal et de goudron, guette celui qui la sauvera de sa lente décrépitude.

Mais victime d'accès de colère incontrôlés, il peine à éviter les heurts avec les membres des Crips et l'expulsion scolaire. Quand ses recherches mettent Ethan sur la piste d'un détournement de fonds au sein de l'établissement de Tyrell, il soupçonne rapidement que l'affaire est sérieuse...
