Hurricane Pioneer – Memoirs of Bob Simpson

Hurricane Pioneer – Memoirs of Bob Simpson

In 1947, Robert H. Simpson lifted off in a specially equipped plane, flying directly into the path of a storm that would send most people running for cover. For more than four hours he observed Typhoon Martha from its eerily calm eye, later describing it in Scientific American as "a coliseum of clouds whose walls on one side rose vertically and on the other were banked like the galleries in a great opera house." For Simpson this was just one of his many pioneering explorations of hurricanes and extreme storms. Over his decades-long career his research led to great leaps in our understanding of tropical meteorology and our approach to hurricane safety. He was the first director of the National Hurricane Research Project and a director of the National Hurricane Center, though he may be best known as co-creator of the widely used Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, familiar to anyone who has heard a reporter use the words "category five." Simpson's memoirs take readers from his experience with the Mississippi Flood of 1927 to his travels to study weather across the globe. Along the way he crosses paths with other weather greats, including his trailblazing wife, meteorologist Joanne Simpson. Hurricane Pioneer is a riveting firsthand account of a revolutionary time in meteorology.

Attention, Cooperation, Purpose

This book describes an approach based on attention that can help individuals and groups to cooperate more effectively. It presents the first book-length reassessment of Wilfred Bion's ideas on groups. Every group has a purpose or purposes - or, as Bion put it, "every group, however casual, meets to 'do' something." The approach described here shows how individual group members' use of attention - both broad or "evenly suspended" and focused - can promote a better understanding of purpose, making it possible for them to do what they have met to do. This work of attention enables group members to maintain a clear sense of their purpose and also to recognise how easily they can become distracted, losing focus and dispersing their energies into activities that are off task. The approach builds on the authors' experience of using Bion's insights into group dynamics over twenty-five years in different contexts, formal and informal, as group members, managers, leaders, teachers, consultants, researchers, family members, and friends.
Bumblebees and Dandelions: Tales to Make You Laugh, Smile, and Remember
Bumblebees and Dandelions is the long-awaited collection of reminiscences and ruminations by Robert P. Simpson, a patent attorney well known for his humorous story telling. Simpson explores the milestones of growing up in middle class Niagara Falls, New York in the 1970s. The poignant reflections collected here are well known to Bob's friends as "Bob -Tales"-- stories shared over the years. The 33 "Bob-Tales" in this volume describe growing up in Niagara Falls with fresh insight into classical childhood adventures, love and learning, friendship and adventure, school and church by a master storyteller. Bob finds warmth and humor in every day situations. Some of these tales are laugh out loud funny. Others convey the strong emotions of deep friendship, close families, and true love. This nostalgic and humorous collection of short tales will inspire you to smile, laugh, and remember. Raconteur Robert P. Simpson takes you back in time with the authentic voice of a child. He will move you to tears as he shares the story of how her brought back his mother's smile by presenting her with "the most beautiful flowers in the world. " Bob will have you in stitches with his doubts about Santa Claus and his foiled plot to discover the truth by counting carrots. He shares the nightmare of getting lost and the joy of finding the way back home. He captures the mood of summer days spent swimming with friends, showing off on bicycles, and discovering girls. He describes the angst of dating and the backfiring of inventions. He tells about coming of age on an epic bicycle trip with stunning clarity. The tales continue beyond childhood, as this patent lawyer turned author explains why it's a bad idea to attend a wine-tasting the evening before the law school admission test, or to tell your prospective bride that you are Italian and can make sauce, when you're actually Irish and can't tell the difference between a garlic bulb and a dahlia bulb. He also explains why it's a good idea to go alone to the wedding of a woman you used to date but who dumped you to marry a doctor. He may be a first-time author, but Bob Simpson's loyal fans say that he paints pictures with his words and makes them read in color. Come along on a humorous journey with raconteur extraordinaire Robert P. Simpson. Bob's warm and engaging stories are guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, cry, and remember. He'll have you in stitches one moment and tears the next. Friends and fans of Bob's trademark storytelling call these stories of love, family, and friendship "Bob-Tales."

Accompanying a major scholarly exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, this book explores one of the most beautiful and enigmatic objects in The Courtauld's collection: the so-called 'Courtauld wallet', a brass container richly inlaid with gold and silver, imitating a lady's textile or leather bag, and probably made in Mosul in northern Iraq around 1300. No other object of this kind is known. Decorated all round with courtly figures and on the top with an elaborate banqueting scene featuring an enthroned couple, it has long been recognized as a masterpiece of Arab metalwork. Yet, despite the superb quality of its design and craftsmanship and its status as a unique object, this exceptional metalwork bag has never been properly published. Thus it remains little known outside a small circle of specialists, and little understood even within that circle. Encompassing a variety of multidisciplinary essays by distinguished historians and art historians - on subjects ranging from music at the Mongol court, Mosul under Mongol governorship and Mongol marriage customers to the role of women under the Ilkhanids - this publication aims to explore the origins, function and iconography of this splendid luxury object as well as the cultural context in which it was made and used. It will bring together other images of enthroned Mongols with female consorts, as well as scenes of hunters, revelers an musicians in a variety of media, including illustrated manuscripts, ceramics, textile, and metalwork. By presenting the bag alongside carefully selected contemporary material, it will provide an insight into courtly life under the Mongols in the newly conquered areas of their empire, and will also provide an unrivaled opportunity to investigate the inlaid brass tradition in Mosul after the Mongol Conquest. Objects made before and after this seismic event will be reproduced side by side to demonstrate how the Mosul metalworkers adapted their work for their new patrons.
