This textbook treats Hydro- and Fluid Dynamics, the engineering science dealing with forces and energies generated by fluids in motion, playing a vital role in everyday life. Practical examples include the flow motion in the kitchen sink, the exhaust fan above the stove, and the air conditioning system in our home. When driving a car, the air flow around the vehicle body induces some drag which increases with the square of the car speed and contributes to excess fuel consumption. Engineering applications encompass fluid transport in pipes and canals, energy generation, environmental processes and transportation (cars, ships, aircrafts). This book deals with the topic of applied hydrodynamics. The lecture material is grouped into two complementary sections: ideal fluid flow and real fluid flow. The former deals with two- and possibly three-dimensional fluid motions that are not subject to boundary friction effects, while the latter considers the flow regions affected by boundary friction and turbulent shear. The lecture material is designed as an intermediate course in fluid dynamics for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in Civil, Environmental, Hydraulic and Mechanical Engineering. It is supported by notes, applications, remarks and discussions in each chapter. Moreover a series of appendices is added, while some major homework assignments are developed at the end of the book, before the bibliographic references.

They are kind and loving people who take care of David, but they are also struggling to make ends meet. David quickly learns that life on the farm is hard work, but he also discovers the beauty and wonder of the natural world around him.As David settles into his new life, he becomes fascinated by the stone ants that he finds on the farm. These ants are unlike any he has ever seen before, and he becomes obsessed with learning more about them. His curiosity leads him on a journey of discovery that takes him deep into the woods and into the heart of the community's secrets.The Stone Ants is a beautifully written novel that captures the essence of life in the rural South during the Great Depression. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. The book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction, coming-of-age stories, or tales of adventure and discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

On November 3, 1870, on a San Francisco ferry, Laura Fair shot a bullet into the heart of her married lover, A. P. Crittenden. Throughout her two murder trials, Fair's lawyers, supported by expert testimony from physicians, claimed that the shooting was the result of temporary insanity caused by a severely painful menstrual cycle. The first jury disregarded such testimony, choosing instead to focus on Fair's disreputable character. In the second trial, however, an effective defense built on contemporary medical beliefs and gendered stereotypes led to a verdict that shocked Americans across the country. In this rousing history, Carole Haber probes changing ideas about morality and immorality, masculinity and femininity, love and marriage, health and disease, and mental illness to show that all these concepts were reinvented in the Victorian West.Haber's book examines the era's most controversial issues, including suffrage, the gendered courts, women's physiology, and free love. This notorious story enriches our understanding of Victorian society, opening the door to a discussion about the ways in which reputation, especially female reputation, is shaped.

This is a collection of my Poems. Each group of about twenty eight poems with pictures were originally published in Chapbooks, small books of up to about forty pages, and sold by Chapman who carried them around the country, selling from door to door. I first started playing around with poems in March of 2010, while sitting on the porch overlooking the Coosawattee River in north Georgia. In fact my first poem was titled Coosawattee. It became a kind of challenge to write about things in poems, like caving, vacations and other things around Georgia and the Gulf coast. My wife Kathy gave me a birthday gift of a poetry course in August, 2010 and I have been writing ever since. After Ten Chapbooks, I thought that it would be nice to place the collection into one larger book, and use the cover images as the chapter titles. I hope that you enjoy reading, Poetry for the Adventuresome as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Ashton, Mississippi, provides the deceptively sterile, conforming, and blindly respectable background in The Welcome, a novel written by Hubert Creekmore in 1948. After moving to New York following Jim’s wedding, Don returns home, routed by the Depression of the 1930s. He finds Jim stuck in an unhappy marriage, and Don's arrival intensifies Jim’s misery. As Jim sinks into alcoholism, Don connects with a new love interest, and their mutual friends persistently try to unlock the secrets between Don and Jim. Ahead of its time in the depiction of same-sex relationships, the novel caused a scandal upon release. As Phillip "Pip" Gordon says in the new introduction written for this edition, "the majority of gay fiction prior to The Welcome structured tragedy as a natural outcome for being gay. Creekmore aimed higher and sought a narrative that does not show the same-sex lovers as flawed for their desires; rather, the problem is context."Creekmore was a prolific writer, literary critic, editor, translator, photographer, and librettist, and was good friends with famed Mississippi author Eudora Welty. However, Creekmore never had the success of his peers, and his work has been neglected, most of it falling out of print. This new edition recovers a significant addition to the canon of LGBTQ southern literature and a Mississippi author for a generation of new readers and scholars.
