Written originally in 1980 as an experiment in different techniques of 'dream writing', and now restored to its original 'pure' form, with new surrealist imagery by the author added to augment its mood. The narrative, disjointed and constantly fluctuating, follows a series of enigmatic characters as they attempt to navigate a collapsing Europe haunted by the spectres of war and nihilism.
A young man arrives in a strange town, looking to change the circumstances of his life. But the town is stranger than anything he's experiences or even imagined and soon he is drawn into a series of bizarre events that culminate in the town's mysterious annual Festival. "The Wicker Man rewritten as a Marx Brothers script." (Chikuma Ashida - author of 'Planet Doll')

Simulation. "Why simulate?" we might ask. Dan Tetzlaff and John Harbaugh answer that question in Simulating Clastic Sedimentation, and answer it effec tively. Readers will have no trouble following this well-documented, clear ex pose on clastic-sedimentation simulation. The sophistication in simulation since 1970, compared to the early work, is enormous. The development and availability of hardware, especially graphics, has made such advancement pos sible. The authors' presentation allows us to share in this exciting new approach to geological problem solving. The book contains a glossary, notation conven tion, program listings, plenty of illustrations, and chapter summaries to en lighten the users. Everything is readily available to make this a self-contained, how-to and how-to-interpret book. After introducing the subject of simulation, the authors take the reader step-by-step through the computation and reasoning of the erosion, transporta tion, and deposition of clastic sediments. Fluid flow, transport, boundary con ditions, and space and time are all explained, and details are given as to how each of these factors were accounted for in the simulation. The simulation is compared to different known situations, such as braided streams and deltas, for assessment as to realism. The final chapter gives two real-world applications where a simulated model is compared to the Simpson Canyon Field in north ern Alaska and the Golden Meadow Field in southern Louisiana. From these simulations was gained some understanding of the conditions under which c- ix Series Editor's Foreword tain sedimentary units were formed.
In the early 1930s women practicing criminal law were often held in the same low regard as the clients they served. When a corrupt prosecutor was determined to send as many of the notorious John Dillinger gang to death row as possible, female attorneys Jessie Levy and Bess Robbins rose to the challenge. They skillfully represented six of the gang members, a number far greater than any of their male counterparts. And yet, their story of deals gone bad, wrongful convictions and success against the odds has all but vanished from history. The recent discovery of interviews, personal correspondence, and court transcripts--a treasure trove untouched for over 80 years--forms the basis for this book, which traces the careers of Jessie Levy, Bess Robbins and the John Dillinger gang in detail for the first time.

A story of a woman and her daughter who share a passion for old empty houses, so much so that as a summer vacation they set out on an adventure to explore a 150 year old inn that's been sitting empty for forty years off the coast of Maine. Their exploration quickly turns into an obsession to purchase the old inn. But would their obsession lay a foundation for a life of danger and quandary? Would it lead them to make the worse decision of their lives?
