The Red Ear Blows Its Nose dishes out uproarious hilarity, cutting wit, wordplay, and sobering wisdom in an illustrated collection of poems for children and others. It considers thinking and the brain, identity and what it means to be a person, nature and the seasons, and assorted creatures, including a horse who says “Moo.” This debut collection from Robert Schechter proves to be the work of a master, complemented by S. Federico’s stunning illustrations, which visually leap off the page. This collection is an experience not to be missed. PRAISE FOR THE RED EAR BLOWS ITS NOSE: Short, punchy, and clever poems, as if Shel Silverstein and Ogden Nash had a baby. Some are only two lines lon...
As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."

This textbook is designed to provide the theory, methods of measurement, and principal applications of the expanding field of interfacial hydrodynamics. It is intended to serve the research needs of both academic and industrial scientists, including chemical or mechanical engineers, material and surface scientists, physical chemists, chemical and biophysicists, rheologists, physiochemical hydrodynamicists, and applied mathematicians (especially those with interests in viscous fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics).As a textbook it provides materials for a one- or two-semester graduate-level course in interfacial transport processes. It may also be noted that, while separate practical and theoretical subdivisions of material have been introduced, a kind of cross-emphasis is often stressed: (i) to the academic scientist, or the importance of understanding major applications of interfacial transport; and (ii) to the industrial scientist, of the importance of understanding the underlying theory.
