Amara loves bats, so when she learns there are none near her new home due to habitat loss, she overcomes her feelings of helplessness and inspires her community to take action. Includes facts about bats and bat houses.
Authorities said everyone was dead. When Milton arrived at the site of his church’s Brazilian mission, everyone he knew was dead, or gone. The only person in the burned out village is a strange, beautiful, naked red-haired woman who is both wise and childlike. Milton decides to smuggle Amara home and continue his mission work with this one lost soul. Amara is more than she appears to be and she is about to shake the foundations of everything Milton believes to be true. A heartbreaking story of faith, forgiveness, and the foundation of religious belief. Can Milton learn and accept the truth before he loses everything and everyone he loves?
This new edition includes numerous printed Sanskrit texts and works and three Indian journeys the author had undertaken. All the words are arranged etymologically and philologically with special reference to cognate Indo-European languages.

One of the themes of the 20th International Congress of Entomology held in Florence in August 1996 was Ecology and Population Dynamics, with papers presented on single species dynamics, population interactions, and community ecology. This book contains a selection of the papers that were presented, and gives a late-1990s picture of the latest research in this fast developing area.
Navier–Stokes equations are one of the most impactful techniques for modeling physical flow phenomena. The coupling of velocity and pressure, along with the nonlinearity, is a challenge for the mathematical and numerical analysis of these equations. This self-contained book provides a thorough theoretical study of finite element methods for solving incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, which model flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids and are used in many practical applications. It focuses on efficient and widely used finite element methods that are well adapted to large-scale simulations. In this revised and expanded edition of Girault and Raviart’s 1986 textbook Finite Element ...
This monograph explores the motion of incompressible fluids by presenting and incorporating various boundary conditions possible for real phenomena. The authors’ approach carefully walks readers through the development of fluid equations at the cutting edge of research, and the applications of a variety of boundary conditions to real-world problems. Special attention is paid to the equivalence between partial differential equations with a mixture of various boundary conditions and their corresponding variational problems, especially variational inequalities with one unknown. A self-contained approach is maintained throughout by first covering introductory topics, and then moving on to mixtures of boundary conditions, a thorough outline of the Navier-Stokes equations, an analysis of both the steady and non-steady Boussinesq system, and more. Equations of Motion for Incompressible Viscous Fluids is ideal for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of fluid equations, numerical analysis, and mathematical modelling.
The sociology of sports in the Middle East has been neglected compared to other world regions. This volume aspires to encourage a greater focus on this topic. Here are assembled papers that discuss various aspects of this subject. As it happens all deal with football (soccer) largely in Egypt but including other Middle Eastern countries. Some are historically or politically oriented while others take a more sociological approach. Papers deal with the relation between organized sports and fans, with the special place of youngsters and women in sports, or with the role of sports in a more general understanding of culture and society as indicators of modernization and other facets of social change. Sportive competitions arouse keen passions around such issues as gender, class, and nationality, while they raise questions about leadership on and off the field, and about the economic impact of the games. The topic needs more research.
“Like the goodies Stan makes for her Maine coon kitty Nutty, Kneading To Die is a treat . . . A fun and frisky whodunit, with plenty of lively pet action.” —Clea Simon, author of Cats Can’t Shoot Maybe the best thing that ever happened to Kristan “Stan” Connor was losing her high-stress public relations job. Now there's plenty of time to spend in her sleepy new Connecticut town working on her dream: baking healthy, organic pet treats! Before long the neighborhood dogs are escaping their yards to show up at Stan’s doorstep, begging for the kinds of special homemade treats her Maine coon cat Nutty loves so much. And Stan’s pet-loving neighbors are thrilled with the new organic ...
