Book Description
A very pretty and intelligent author has writer’s block! Ginger vacations to the gorgeous island of St. John’s to cure herself. Upon her first morning jaunt, Ginger spies a body washed up on the shore, and she soon finds herself administering mouth to mouth to a handsome dark-haired, but scarred stranger. When he awakes, he can’t recall who he is. His cell phone and other IDs are also missing. Ginger returns to her cottage to get her phone and call the authorities. When she returns with the police, the handsome stranger has vanished. The stranger returns later that night. Ginger, thirsting for romance and adventure, invites him in. The two quickly form a romantic bond amidst the crisis and excitement. A hazardous cat-and-mouse game ensues as the duo lures out the criminals. The clues concerning the stranger, now nicknamed Rob Wilson, begin to mount, but so do the bodies. Our heroes, while tracking down the villains, must also dodge the authorities. As the mystery uncloaks, a kidnapping, hijacking, attempted murder, and drug smuggling are exposed. Back in Miami, Rob discovers he is actually Rod Dexter, a former Navy Seal. He regains most of his memory with help of Ginger. Then with his Seal buddies, Rod tracks down his son and catamaran. He also resolves to expose who has been betraying him, along with his export/import firm. Do Rob and Ginger find future happiness with one another? The author chose this genre because of his love of mysteries, spy, and adventure movies. Mr. Barok has vacationed extensively in the Miami and Virgin Island areas. The author has explored, sailed, snorkeled, and socialized in the region.

Land-Atmospheric Research Applications in South and Southeast Asia
Author: Krishna Prasad Vadrevu
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319674749
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 727
Book Description
This edited volume sheds new light on the impact of rapid Land Use/Cover Changes (LU/CC) on greenhouse gases (GHG’s) and aerosol emissions in South and Southeast Asia. Several countries in South/Southeast Asia have the highest population growth rates in the world, which is the main cause for LU/CC. Conversion of dense forests to agricultural areas and then to residential and urban areas is most commonly observed in South/Southeast Asian countries with a significant release of GHG’s and aerosols. The book showcases several case studies on the use of remote sensing and geospatial technologies to quantify biomass burning and air pollution impacts, aerosol pollution, LU/CC, and impacts on ecosystem services. The book also includes articles on regional initiatives in research, capacity building, and training. The authors of this book are international experts in the field, and their contributions highlight significant drivers and impacts of air pollution in South/Southeast Asia. Readers will discover the latest tools and techniques, in particular, the use of satellite remote sensing and geospatial technologies for quantifying GHG’s, aerosols and pollution episodes in this region.

Pages : 416
Book Description
A “good old-fashioned novel of psychological suspense, the kind that keeps you reading deep into the night” (The Globe and Mail) about a young bride, a lonely single mother, and a man who has lost his memory cross paths on a desolate and windswept English beach from the New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone. In the seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake discovers a man sitting on the beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. Meanwhile, in a London suburb, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Soon, she receives even worse and more confounding news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable—and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother. What is the relationship between these three events? Who is the man on the beach? Where is Lily’s missing husband? And what ever happened to the man who made such a lasting and disturbing impression on Gray? A delicious collision course of a novel, filled with the believable characters, stunning writing, and shocking twists and turns, I Found You is “infused with just enough intrigue to keep the pages turning. Readers of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware will love” (Library Journal, starred review).
