Fluid Dynamics of the Mid-Latitude Atmosphere

Fluid Dynamics of the Mid-Latitude Atmosphere

Brian J. Hoskins; Ian N. James

John Wiley Sons Inc
2014
sidottu
This book gives a coherent development of the current understanding of the fluid dynamics of the middle latitude atmosphere. It is primarily aimed at post-graduate and advanced undergraduate level students and does not assume any previous knowledge of fluid mechanics, meteorology or atmospheric science. The book will be an invaluable resource for any quantitative atmospheric scientist who wishes to increase their understanding of the subject. The importance of the rotation of the Earth and the stable stratification of its atmosphere, with their implications for the balance of larger-scale flows, is highlighted throughout.Clearly structured throughout, the first of three themes deals with the development of the basic equations for an atmosphere on a rotating, spherical planet and discusses scale analyses of these equations. The second theme explores the importance of rotation and introduces vorticity and potential vorticity, as well as turbulence. In the third theme, the concepts developed in the first two themes are used to give an understanding of balanced motion in real atmospheric phenomena. It starts with quasi-geostrophic theory and moves on to linear and nonlinear theories for mid-latitude weather systems and their fronts. The potential vorticity perspective on weather systems is highlighted with a discussion of the Rossby wave propagation and potential vorticity mixing covered in the final chapter.

Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District

Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District

Joanna E. Taylor; Ian N. Gregory

Bucknell University Press,U.S.
2022
nidottu
England’s famed Lake District—best known as the place of inspiration for the Wordsworths, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and other Romantic-era writers—is the locus of this pioneering study, which implements and critiques a new approach to literary analysis in the digital age. Deploying innovative methods from literary studies, corpus linguistics, historical geography, and geographical information science, Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District combines close readings of a body of writing about the region from 1622-1900 with distant approaches to textual analysis. This path-breaking volume exemplifies interdisciplinarity, demonstrating how digital humanities methodologies and geospatial tools can enhance our appreciation of a region whose topography has been long recognized as fundamental to the shape of the poetry and prose produced within it.

Rock 'n' Roll Soccer

Rock 'n' Roll Soccer

Ian Plenderleith; Rodney Marsh

Icon Books Ltd
2016
pokkari
Superstars, hype, cheerleaders, razzmatazz - the North American Soccer League in its 1970s heyday was a league way ahead of its time. It lured the biggest names of the world game, like Cruyff, Best, Beckenbauer and the greatest of them all, Pelé, to play football as it was meant to be played - without inhibition, to please the fans.It experimented with rules and innovations that upset purists, and liberated players from the negative tactics of the muddy, hooligan blighted grounds of Europe; then it crashed back down to earth like a rock star's private jet, bankrupt but laughing all the way.Acclaimed football writer Ian Plenderleith reveals in all its glory the colour and chaos of the world's first truly international league.

More American Rock'n'Roll

Ian Wallis

Music Mentor Books
2012
pokkari
Ian Wallis is a writer and promoter of authentic rock'n'roll music. His previous book, "American Rock'n'Roll: The UK Tours 1956-72", was published by Music Mentor Books in 2003, since when it has become universally accepted as the first serious study of live rock'n'roll music in Britain. Now at last, "More American Rock'n'Roll: The UK Tours 1973-84" is here to continue the story and, as with the first volume, is crammed full of information about every American or Canadian rock'n'roller who visited Britain during that period. Each tour is examined in detail, with data culled from contemporary reports and eyewitness accounts. Extensive research ensures a high level of accuracy and there is a mouth-watering array of rare and unpublished photographs, show programmes, adverts, flyers and tickets to fully reflect the flavour of the time. If you love rock'n'roll, you will wish to relive memories of all those nights spent in hot, sweaty clubs amongst the honking saxes, pounding pianos and twanging guitars. It is 'the greatest music in the world' and all those wonderful memories can be found again within these pages.

POSTSCRIPTTERMINATION BY CHOICEAlmost twenty five years to the day "escaping" from being deposited to inner England as an evacuee, close and within the area's that received more bomber raids than my original home town of Hove, for which the foregoing writings have covered, did the boy, now a man, with his family journey to the town and place of my "internment", suitably booted and suited as a fully grown thirty three year old husband and father, knocked on the door of the house that held far and distant memories, ( non good ).Within two minutes the door was opened, introducing myself with the words, "hello Mrs Arnold, my name, giving her the name she had known me as, shock and horror etched in her face, visible shaking she opened her mouth to speak, no sound past her lips, as though looking straight through the person before her, she immediately shut the door by slamming in my face, her the parting words, "I don't know you, I have never seen you before, go away, I am going out, you were never ever here", with the door now fully closed, the boy/man stood there, wondering what he should now do, staring at the closed door, he smile slightly to his self, before turning away and returning to car, explained to his family what had happened, then decided to drive back home, obviously the boy/man has never to this day, had any contact with her again, or has she ever tried to make contact with him.

Supernatural Strategies For Making A Rock 'n' Roll Group

Supernatural Strategies For Making A Rock 'n' Roll Group

Ian Svenonius

Akashic Books,U.S.
2013

"Proscriptive how-to advice ranges over a wide number of subjects (e.g., sex, band photos, etc.) and can be seen both as skewering the cultural idolatry associated with rock and as genuine counsel. Verdict: Svenonius's sociopolitical analysis of rock and roll is intellectually interesting, as when he posits that the genre was 'brought about by the industrial revolution, the harnessing of electricity, and the miscegenation of various poor, exploited, and indentured cultures in the USA.'"--Library Journal"So much of the allure here is in watching Svenonius skirt absurdity. He's always seemed delighted by the fact that the profound and the preposterous can sound awfully alike, a realization that puts him in line with an avant-garde tradition that stretches back before rock 'n' roll crystallized this fact...Svenonius has the spirit of a long-gone punk past, but his book has more to tell us about rock's here-and-now than about its hereafter. Neither bourgeois nor prestigious, Supernatural Strategies may be the rare book by a rock musician to retain any power or threat."--Los Angeles Review of Books"Like its author, Supernatural Strategies is part tongue-in-cheek, part deadly serious--a satire of rock's consumerist origins but also a thoughtful treatise on what it means to devote yourself to a collective...Drawing from the wisdom of rock 'n' roll's most famous ghosts, Svenonius' advice ranges from hilarious to cryptic to surprisingly useful."--Pitchfork"Svenonius has walked the walk...Even today--as the frontman of Chain & The Gang and the host of the online talk show Soft Focus--he remains cool, cryptic, and impeccably dressed, a mod magician with a trick always lurking up his tailored sleeve."--The Onion AV Club"If 'write what you know' is one of authorship's prime dictates, then Ian F. Svenonius seems uniquely qualified...Svenonius' contrarian, anti-establishment rhetoric is his greatest gift...Strategies plays to these same strengths by allowing him to run roughshod riot over hallowed ground he's already trod--and sometimes paved--more than a few times."--Baltimore City PaperIan F. Svenonius's experience as an iconic underground rock musician--playing in such highly influential and revolutionary outfits as The Make-Up and The Nation of Ulysses--gives him special insight on techniques for not only starting but also surviving a rock 'n' roll group. Therefore, he's written an instructional guide, which doubles as a warning device, a philosophical text, an exercise in terror, an aerobics manual, and a coloring book.This volume features essays (and black-and-white illustrations) on everything the would-be star should know to get started, such as Sex, Drugs, Sound, Group Photo, The Van, and Manufacturing Nostalgia. Supernatural Strategies will serve as an indispensable guide for a new generation just aching to boogie.

The Fans Have Their Say #4 Guns N' Roses: Welcome to the Jungle

The Fans Have Their Say #4 Guns N' Roses: Welcome to the Jungle

Ian Carroll

From the first moment that I heard 'It's So Easy' and 'Mr. Brownstone' I was hooked. I had the 12" single which I bought as soon as I heard that it had been released, I'd read about them in the music press and loving Hanoi Rocks at the time, made me see them as another band that would fit nicely into the 'rock 'n' roll niche' that I was carving out for myself. I have always felt so annoyed with myself that I never went to see them at the Marquee club in Wardour Street. I was a regular at the Marquee club during the 1980's and through to the mid '90s. I went to so many gigs there - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, FM, Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, Quireboys, the Babysitters and the first UK show of Georgia Satellites - amongst many. Guns N' Roses played a three night residency at the Marquee on 19th, 22nd and 28th June 1987 and for some reason I didn't go and buy tickets to any of the dates Living in Plymouth didn't help, but that didn't seem to make any difference at other times, spending many gigs in London, mostly at the Hammersmith Odeon - as it was then - watching Anthrax, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, Cheap Trick, Living Colour, The Wonderstuff and Kajagoogoo, but why, oh why, didn't I get tickets for those legendary gigs at the Marquee club? Too late to contemplate now, but it would have been an amazing experience, especially saying that you had been there, just like the people who saw the Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester eleven years before. Bizarrely one of the songs that they played on the 28th June was 'Whole Lotta Rosie' by AC/DC who Axl of course would go on the front -as the Brian Johnson replacement - for the second half of the 'Rock or Bust' tour in 2017, 30 years later Not having seen them play at the Marquee didn't deter my efforts to see them and I would actually get my first chance to see the full original line-up at Monsters of Rock at Donington the following year on 20th August. When the band were booked they were lower down the bill - second band on after Helloween - but by the time August hit, they were 'mega-stars', 'Appetite for Destruction' was a worldwide 'mega-hit' and they were the new superstars on the block. The following time I saw them at Download Festival in 2006, they were a shadow of their former selves and even the guest spots from Sebastian Bach (ex- Skid Row Lead Singer) and a few songs featuring Izzy Stradlin didn't help that much, even bottling took place several times. But the following two times that saw them at Nottingham and Reading Festival, they had improved - especially at Nottingham, which was a very long and excellent show. Now we have come full circle. 60% of Guns N' Roses are back and performing together like they hadn't been apart. If only Izzy and Steven came back it would be perfect, but at least for now, we are getting shows like we and they have deserved to play for years and hopefully they will carry on for a long time to come. Next stop Download Festival headline slot in 2018. So, on with the greatest sleazy rock 'n' roll show from LA, California...
