Oceans: Evolving Concepts

Oceans draws on data from new... | | Baroclinic Tides: Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence
This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less energetic surface wave and other internal modes with different wavelengths and propagation speeds. This cascading process, from the barotropic tides to the... | | Frommer's Portable Cayman IslandsSee the very best of the Cayman Islands

Breathing: An Inspired History
Our knowledge of breathing has shaped our social history and philosophical beliefs since prehistory. Breathing occupied a spiritual status for the ancients, while today it is central to the practice of many forms of meditation, like Yoga. Over time physicians, scientists, and engineers have pieced together the intricate biological mechanisms of... | | Mobile Interaction DesignComputers anytime, anyplace. This long-term research goal is daily becoming more and more of a
focused reality. The mobiles are amongst us. And devices we carry around in our pockets are more
powerful than those on board the rockets that took the first people to the moon. But where are

In Atlantic Passages, Robert Murray reveals that many Liberian settlers did not remain in... |

Ocean Modelling for Beginners: Using Open-Source SoftwareThe book gives an introduction to computer-based modelling of oceanic processes. It is the first of its kind and contains over twenty practical exercises, using freely available Open-Source software, and covers a wide range of topics from long surface waves, geostrophic flows, through to the general wind-driven circulation including western... | | Encyclopedia of World Cultures: South AsiaContemplation of the huge numbers of people now living in South Asia prompts me to point out that this volume deals with about 20 percent of the world's population (which stood at almost 5 billion in 1986, the year in which the population of South Asia passed the 1 billion mark). The rough geographic limits encompassing this mass of people and... | | Visual Thinking: for Design (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive Technologies)Increasingly, designers need to present information in ways that aid their audience's thinking process. Fortunately, results from the relatively new science of human visual perception provide valuable guidance.
In Visual Thinking for Design, Colin Ware takes what we now know about perception, cognition, and attention and transforms it... |
