Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
It was in 1998 Arthur saw an advert in a UK cycling magazine for a world tour in the millennium. It was being organized by an American company who had spent five years planning Odyssey 2000. This was the ultimate challenge a 12 month world tour, cycling with over 200 other mad fools but only two from the UK - 45 countries and 19,000 miles - commencing in Pasadena, USA averaging 70 miles a day five days a week. Arthur raised £8000 for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children a registered UK charity. If this book is a success the next book will cover the following projects :- Nov 1994 250 mile cycle ride in Israel for the British Heart Foundation £2002 raised May 1995 3789 mille cycle ride coast to coast across the USA for children’s hospice in Wales £21,000 raised https://www.tyhafan.org 2003 a cycle tour in Nepal followed by an annual visit for the next eleven years, with out his bike In 2005 along with other supporters we were the founder Trustees of a UK registered UK charity supporting education in that beautiful country see www.kasin.org.uk

Magnetic Cloud Boundary Layers and Magnetic Reconnection
Author: Yi Wang
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662483106
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
This thesis focuses on magnetic reconnection processes in the boundary layer of the interplanetary magnetic cloud. Magnetic reconnection is an important and frontier topic in the realm of physics. Various physical phenomena can be observed during the reconnection process but lots of them are not fully understood. This thesis provides the first observational evidence of energetic electrons associated with magnetic reconnection in the solar wind and discusses the particle acceleration problems. In addition, after analyzing the particle flux variations in Magnetic Cloud Boundary Layer, the thesis proposes a possible new criterion for the identification of magnetic reconnection in the solar wind. These tantalizing results could be particular clues to understand the dynamical problems in magnetic reconnection processes.

Neutron Scattering - Magnetic and Quantum Phenomena
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128020938
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
Neutron Scattering - Magnetic and Quantum Phenomena provides detailed coverage of the application of neutron scattering in condensed matter research. The book's primary aim is to enable researchers in a particular area to identify the aspects of their work where neutron scattering techniques might contribute, conceive the important experiments to be done, assess what is required to carry them out, write a successful proposal for one of the major user facilities, and perform the experiments under the guidance of the appropriate instrument scientist. An earlier series edited by Kurt Sköld and David L. Price, and published in the 1980s by Academic Press as three volumes in the series Methods of Experimental Physics, was very successful and remained the standard reference in the field for several years. This present work has similar goals, taking into account the advances in experimental techniques over the past quarter-century, for example, neutron reflectivity and spin-echo spectroscopy, and techniques for probing the dynamics of complex materials of technological relevance. This volume complements Price and Fernandez-Alonso (Eds.), Neutron Scattering - Fundamentals published in November 2013. - Covers the application of neutron scattering techniques in the study of quantum and magnetic phenomena, including superconductivity, multiferroics, and nanomagnetism - Presents up-to-date reviews of recent results, aimed at enabling the reader to identify new opportunities and plan neutron scattering experiments in their own field - Provides a good balance between theory and experimental techniques - Provides a complement to Price and Fernandez-Alonso (Eds.), Neutron Scattering - Fundamentals published in November 2013

Book Description
"In Sight of the Suture is the first overview of the pre-Carboniferous geology of the Isle of Man since the 1960s. It will be of prime interest to research workers in the geology of the Caledonian/Appalachian orogenic belt, to sedimentologists interested in deep marine processes and to petroleum geologists focusing on exploration in the Irish Sea."--BOOK JACKET.

Submarine Permafrost On The Alaskan Continental Shelf
Author: Michael E. Vigdorchik
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000241637
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
This book is the second in a series on arctic and alpine environments produced by Dr. Michael Vigdorchik at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of Colorado, Boulder. The first carried the title Arctic Pleistocene History and the Development of Submarine Permafrost. The complicated Arctic Basin development during the Pleistocene has been described in that book, including the paleoenvironmental problems posed by the isolation of the Arctic Basin during the Ice Ages. This sequel concerns the identification and estimation of the potential hazards posed by the arctic environment to petroleum exploration and development on the Alaskan continental shelf.

Islands of the Mind
Author: Richard Pine
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527546616
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
730 million people—almost 10% of the world’s population—inhabit islands. One quarter of the states represented at the United Nations are islands. Islands constitute almost twenty percent of the total land area of Greece, and exhibit more significant aspects of biodiversity than other global contexts. They are both occasions of triumph and occurrences of catastrophe. Islands are both open and enclosed communities, points of arrival and departure. Islands exert a fascination for the visitor and generate, in the islander, both positive and negative mindsets. The romantic fallacies about self-sufficiency and insularity of islands are constantly challenged. This collection of essays by scholars from some of the world’s most compelling islands—Jersey, Ireland, Tasmania, Corfu, Ereikousa, Prince Edward Island, Malta—explores the psychology of islands, islanders and their visitors, the literatures they stimulate, and the scientific, ethical and biogeographical issues they present in an increasingly globalised world. Corfu, the home of Lawrence and Gerald Durrell in the 1930s, and host to literary and scientific enquiry, is the place where this collection was conceived, and occupies a central place in its discussions.

Lawrence Durrell’s Woven Web of Guesses (Durrell Studies 2)
Author: Richard Pine
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527566668
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This volume presents a number of original essays on aspects of Lawrence Durrell which have not previously been discussed. Durrell (1912-1990) was the ground-breaking author of The Alexandria Quartet, Tunc-Nunquam (The Revolt of Aphrodite) and The Avignon Quintet and of many plays, volumes of poetry and essays. This volume, by one of the world’s foremost experts on Durrell’s life and work, explores his early literary connections with Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Alfred Perlès and David Gascoyne in topics such as surrealism and psychology. It features new insights into Durrell’s approach to popular literature, Greek politics and sexual orientation, and establishes Durrell’s mental states from an examination of his private notebooks. It presents a composite portrait of a writer obsessed with the themes of identity, creativity, sexuality and freedom.
