At its heart, The First Americans is the story of the revolution in thinking that Adovasio and his fellow archaeologists have brought about, and the firestorm it has ignited. As he writes, "The work of lifetimes has been put at risk, reputations have been damaged, an astounding amount of silliness and even profound stupidity has been taken as serious thought, and always lurking in the background of...

Atmospheric Boundary Layers: Nature, Theory and Applications to Environmental Modelling and Security
ISBN: 9780387743189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most of practically-used turbulence closure models are based on the concept of downgra- ent transport. Accordingly the models express turbulent uxes of momentum and scalars as products of the mean gradient of the transported property and the corresponding turbulent transport coef cient (eddy viscosity, K, heat conductivity, K, or diffusivity, K ).

Applied Hydrodynamics in Petroleum Exploration
ISBN: 9780387978802 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the first edition of this book, we observed that it had been created to fill a need for a usable "self-contained volume on hydrodynamics" (and hydrogeology) that was written specifically for the petroleum industry, but could also serve the earth science community in general. When the first edition was published (1982), M. K. Hubbert, the father of petroleum hydrodynamics, was approaching the final stages of his very productive career. For this reason, the book served as a vehicle to amplify his concepts and spread and stimulate applications of some of his theories and methods throughout...

What language did they speak? Might they be related to a "lost tribe" known from later inscriptions? Few clues are offered by their pottery or tools, but their clothes woolens that rarely survive more than a few centuries have been preserved as brightly hued as the...
