Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
In 2015, Booklist observed, “the arrival of Hauser’s annual boxing review is akin to Christmas morning for fight fans. Nobody knows a sport any better than Hauser knows boxing.” Each year, readers, writers, and critics alike look forward to Thomas Hauser’s annual collection of articles about the contemporary boxing scene. He’s one of the last real champions of boxing and one of the very best who has ever written about the sport. A Hard World continues this tradition of excellence with dressing-room reports from big fights like Canelo Alvarez vs. Miguel Cotto, a behind-the-scenes look at Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, and a foray into the world of mixed martial arts for a compelling portrait of Ronda Rousey. Most importantly, this new collection contains Hauser’s groundbreaking two-part investigative report on the relationship between the United States Anti-Doping Agency and boxing, a report that shook the industry and raised fundamental questions regarding the integrity of USADA’s drug-testing procedures as applied to boxing.

Book Description
With energy prices at an all-time high worldwide and the climate crisis making the need to replace fossil fuels an increasingly urgent issue, the development of new energy systems for the future has never been more important. This book presents the proceedings of NEFES 2022, the 7th International Conference on New Energy and Future Energy Systems, originally scheduled to take place in Nanjing from 25 to 28 October 2022, but ultimately held as a fully virtual event as a result of ongoing pandemic restrictions.

A total of 170 submissions were received for the conference, of which 34 papers were ultimately selected for presentation and publication after careful review and checking for plagiarism by means of the iThenticate tool. Topics addressed at NEFES 2022 included all aspects of energy, including solar and wind energy, smart grids, power transmission and distribution, electric vehicles, biomass, biofuels, bioenergy, new energy materials, energy-saving materials, energy storage materials and technology, energy and nanotechnology, hybrid energy systems, advanced energy technologies, energy generation and conversion, clean coal technology, renewable technology, fuel cells, hydro-energy, and geothermal energy. Providing a current overview of the latest developments in many energy technologies, the book will be of interest to all those working in the field.

Hard Places
Author: Richard V. Francaviglia
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1587290707
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Working with the premise that there are much meaning and value in the "repelling beauty" of mining landscapes, Richard Francaviglia identifies the visual clues that indicate an area has been mined and tells us how to read them, showing the interconnections among all of America's major mining districts. With a style as bold as the landscape he reads and with photographs to match, he interprets the major forces that have shaped the architecture, design, and topography of mining areas. Covering many different types of mining and mining locations, he concludes that mining landscapes have come to symbolize the turmoil between what our society elects to view as two opposing forces: culture and nature.

The Roswell Alien Triads (Hard Cover)
Author: Arthur Coleman
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300318260
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
What really happened at the Roswell crash? Did a UFO actually crash there? Were there aliens? Were they alive? Where are they now? What did we learn? What have we done with that knowledge? Was there a cover-up? Arthur Coleman has been associated with the Top Secret+ Military-Scientific Industry, development labs, National Security Administration, and Defense Intelligence Agency. His work in Black World intelligence gathering and analysis of space, air, land, and sea assets spans more than 30 years. This story has been pieced together from conversations in long moments of boredom, during holds in launch cycles, guard duty, and quiet and lonely periods when time drags on and the wonder of it all becomes too much to carry inside and the urge to tell someone became stronger than the fear of retribution. It is filled in by personal experience, observation, educated guess, and applying the knowledge acquired from face-to-face contact with the TRIADS at Area 51.
