The Kalahari Environment

The Kalahari Environment

David Thomas; Paul A. Shaw

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
This book provides an integrated, thorough and up-to-date review of the nature and development of the Kalahari environment, an environment of great ecological and geomorphological diversity. Its complex climatic and geological history and its long association with human societies attempting to utilise its natural resources are aspects of increasing scientific interest. The book has evolved from the authors' own research in the Kalahari, and attempts to provide explanations and answers to some of the many questions raised about this region, ranging from the commonly asked 'is it really a desert?', to more specific and detailed concerns. The interdisciplinary approach will make the book of interest to researchers, lecturers and advanced students in earth sciences, environmental studies, tropical geomorphology and Quaternary science. The extensive bibliography will also make the book a very important source of reference.
In Your Face

In Your Face

David Thomas Schumann; Kevin Fitzgerald

Recall Awareness, Incorporated
2019
pokkari
Are you at risk from one of Takata's defective and exploding airbags that have killed more than two dozen people and maimed hundreds? There are still millions of these deadly airbags across the world, all creeping slowly towards catastrophic failure, and time is our enemy. In Your Face is an insider's account of the largest automotive recall in history and the terrible secrets that threaten us today. Kevin Fitzgerald is the maverick engineer and executive at the center of this scandal whose struggles for truth and justice nearly ruined him. His revealing story of failure and fraud in the pursuit of innovation is a poignant call to save more lives, and a deeper exploration of a tragedy defined by death, corruption, and coverups that will continue to explode in our faces far into the future.
Law and Society in Puritan Massachusetts

Law and Society in Puritan Massachusetts

David Thomas Konig

The University of North Carolina Press
1981
nidottu
Distinguished by the critical value it assigns to law in Puritan society, this study describes precisely how the Massachusetts legal system differed from England's and how equity and an adapted common law became so useful to ordinary individuals. The author discovers that law gradually replaced religion and communalism as the source of social stability, and he gives a new interpretation to the witchcraft prosecutions of 1692.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

Beyond Me: Practices for Expanding Compassion

Beyond Me: Practices for Expanding Compassion

David Thomas Weibel

Compassion Publishing

sidottu
Beyond Me is a field manual for explorers aiming to realize satisfaction and build a global civilization. It synthesizes ancient wisdom and modern science to explain how the egocentric self is as useful as the anchor on a boat, and then reveal a path to transcend suffering, discover purpose, and possibly ensure that our fellow humans can thrive here for another millennium. These practices are not easy, but potential side effects include wisdom and joy.
Vibration and Life

Vibration and Life

David Thomas Smith

Hutson Street Press
2025
sidottu
"Vibration and Life" explores the concept of vibration as a fundamental aspect of existence, delving into its manifestations in both the physical and metaphysical realms. Written by David Thomas Smith, this book investigates the principles of vibration and its influence on life processes. Drawing from mechanics, physics, and possibly early theories of energy, the book offers insights into how vibration affects everything from the smallest particles to the largest systems. While reflecting scientific understanding from the early 20th century, "Vibration and Life" provides a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of all things. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of science and alternative approaches to understanding the universe.

Digital Literary Creative Practice

Digital Literary Creative Practice

David Thomas Henry Wright

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
In 1985, Italo Calvino proposed six values he deemed crucial to literature as it moved into the next millennium: lightness, quickness, ‘crystal’ exactitude, visibility, multiplicity, and consistency. Using Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as structure and methodology, this book conjoins literary studies with creative practice to interrogate, extend/subvert, and then reflect on the aesthetic and structural ambitions of multiple innovative print authors (Italo Calvino, Zadie Smith, William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, Bernardine Evaristo, Roberto Bolano, Rachel Cusk, Shahriar Mandanipour, W.G. Sebald, Ross Gibson, Han Kang, and J.M. Coetzee) reimagined in new media in order to develop a model for digital literary practice-led research. This work contains four strands that are presented simultaneously. First, this monograph explores the rise of Calvino’s values within the Calvino corpus. Second, this value’s application to a contemporary literary predicament is explored through a digression. Third, conclusions from this interrogation are drawn as they relate to digital literary culture. Finally, the value’s importance is demonstrated through examining/reflecting on contemporary digital literary creative practice – both the author’s own and works created by contemporary writers/artists who have engaged with the digital postmodern.

The Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO-SACO) is a volunteer organization that utilizes Canadian business professionals to help developing nations in capacities related to their domestic business expertise. After more than three decades of work as an urban planner, David Smith began a second career in volunteer service, sharing his expertise on urban and strategic planning, environmental management, and economic development and poverty reduction issues to developing regions in several countries around the world. This book chronicles Smith's volunteer work, from the humdrum to the hopefulness to the harrowing-not exactly "Temple of Doom" harrowing, but adventurous and risky all the same. With his recounting of these many high-adventure situations, some more dangerous than others, Smith offers to readers a memoir of how his life became much more exciting after turning 60, as well as an uplifting and inspiring reminder of the value of volunteer service overseas.Included in this book's mini-travelogues are stories from Smith's travels to Honduras, the Philippines, Colombia, Suriname, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Jamaica, and China. The ups and downs of his voluntary assignments are described in this book, especially the satisfaction that comes with helping people in developing countries. Along the way were many surprises and unanticipated encounters that were truly amazing: experiences and adventures while travelling; survival during life-threatening situations; unique features and the cultural distinctiveness of different areas; rewards, successes, and challenges of volunteer work in difficult situations; and observations related to urban planning, sustainability, and climate change action.
