The acronym VAN refers to Drs Varotsos, Alexopoulos and Nomicos, members of a group which have sought to use electric-field measurements between electrodes buried in the earth to predict earthquakes. This text questions such a "short-term" prediction method, offering arguments for and against.

Addresses external biofluiddynamics concerning animal locomotion and internal biofluiddynamics concerning heat and mass transport.

James Lighthill provides readers with a thorough analysis of sound waves, shock waves, waterwaves of all kinds, and the so called internal waves (inside atmospheres and oceans) due to intensity stratification. He emphasizes the most useful fundamental ideas of wave science, including the principles of how waves interact with flows. This work on one of the great subdivisions of fluid dynamics will be invaluable to engineers, physicists, geophysicists, applied mathematicians, and researchers concerned with wave motions or fluid flows.

This volume presents a survey of our state of knowledge of the physical and dynamical processes involved in the Asian monsoon.
