Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Nancy Jensen Devin; Richard V. Simpson

Arcadia Publishing (SC)
1997
nidottu
From pre-colonial times through World War II, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, has served as a stage for the dramatic evolution of American history. Dispossessed citizens from the Massachusetts Bay Colony came to Portsmouth in the spirit of religious and political tolerance, paving the way for the establishment of a large Quaker settlement in town. Revolutionary leaders such as George Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau visited the summer residences of wealthy Newport merchants in Portsmouth, including the home of Tory, Metcalf Bowler. During the Civil War, the Melville area of Portsmouth was the site of a hospital for wounded Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners, and was an active stop on the Underground Railroad. Prior to World War II, John F. Kennedy received his PT boat training in Portsmouth, and Raytheon has kept many employed in the defense industry ever since. Authors Nancy Jensen Devin and Richard V. Simpson are area historians who have combined the photograph collections of the Portsmouth Historical Society with many previously unpublished images from local families' albums to produce this remarkable new photographic history of the town. Mr. Simpson is the author of Bristol in the Images of America series, and Ms. Devin is the creator of a popular multimedia presentation called The Story of the Town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The authors' affection for the area and knowledge of its history are evident in this exciting tribute to the town and the people of Portsmouth.

Random Vibration of Complex Systems: A Unified Approach

Random Vibration of Complex Systems: A Unified Approach

Richard V. Field; Mircea D. Grigoriu

Academic Press
2017
nidottu
Random Vibration of Complex Systems provides a new framework for assessing the performance of complex dynamic systems subject to random input. While most current books on random vibration treat the four different scenarios defined by the type of input and dynamic system independently and provide different methods for the analysis of each, Field and Grigoriu provide a unified approach for the analysis of linear and/or nonlinear dynamic systems subject to Gaussian and/or non-Gaussian input.Using numerous real-world engineering problems to illustrate the application of this new approach, Random Vibration of Complex Systems presents methods and techniques in a practical way to make them easily transferable to your vibration problems. Intended as a reference resource for applied scientists and engineers interested in analytical and numerical methods for solving random vibration problems, the book will be of particular interest to those working in the aerospace, automotive, civil engineering industries. Provides the first reference resource to guide you through the analysis of randomness and complexity in a unified way.Offers a new framework for analyzing complex dynamic systems with different input scenarios, unlike most other books that provide different methods for each scenario or consider only one or two academic situations.Demonstrates methods and techniques through the use of real-world engineering case studies with the aim of making the approach easily transferable to your vibration problems.

Policing the Risk Society

Policing the Risk Society

Richard V. Ericson; Kevin D. Haggerty

Clarendon Press
1997
sidottu
In this provocative new book, Richard Ericson and Kevin Haggerty contend that the police have become information brokers to institutions such as insurance companies and health and welfare organizations that operate based on a knowledge of risk. In turn, these institutions influence the ways that police officers think and act. A critical review of existing research reveals the need to study police interaction with institutions as well as individuals. These institutions are part of an emerging "risk society" where knowledge of risk is used to control danger. The authors examine different aspects of police involvement; the use of surveillance technologies and the collection of data on securities, careers and different social, ethnic, age and gender groups. They conclude by looking at how police organizations have been forced to develop new communications rules and technologies to meet external demands for knowledge of risk. This is the first book in this field to include detailed evidence of some of the central tenets of the risk society. It also includes a sophisticated examination of the risk society theory that will advance readers' knowledge considerably. With this book, the authors revolutionize the study of policing, and their work will impact heavily on scholars in criminology, social theory, and communications as well as policing and the public.

From Sail to Steam

From Sail to Steam

Richard V. Francaviglia

University of Texas Press
1998

Second Place, Presidio La Bahia Award, Sons of the Republic of TexasThe Gulf Coast has been a principal place of entry into Texas ever since Alonso Alvarez de Pineda explored these shores in 1519. Yet, nearly five hundred years later, the maritime history of Texas remains largely untold. In this book, Richard V. Francaviglia offers a comprehensive overview of Texas' merchant and military marine history, drawn from his own extensive collection of maritime history materials, as well as from research in libraries and museums around the country.Based on recent discoveries in nautical archaeology, Francaviglia tells the stories of the Spanish flotilla that wrecked off Padre Island in 1554 and of La Salle's flagship Belle, which sank in 1687. He explores the role of the Texas Navy in the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836 and during the years of the Texas Republic and also describes the Civil War battles at Galveston and Sabine Pass. Finally, he recounts major developments of the nineteenth century, concluding with the disastrous Galveston Hurricane in 1900. More than one hundred illustrations, many never before published, complement the text.

A contemporary successor to the Louis V. Pirsson and Adolph Knopf editions, providing a guide and reference that explains how rocks occur, their commercial usage, and how to identify them through macroscopic, handspecimen features. Gives complete coverage of rock-forming minerals, rocks and man-made, rock-like materials, as well as meteorites, impactites, grossans, and more. Tables are provided for identifications based on megascopic examinations and simple field tests that require no sophisticated laboratory equipment. Plus, numerous illustrations represent rocks and rock-forming minerals as they appear in nature.
