Climate Change in Practice

Climate Change in Practice

Robert L. Wilby

Cambridge University Press
2017
pokkari
Derived from an undergraduate course taught by the author, this accessible book seeks to challenge and provoke readers by posing a series of topical questions concerning climate change and society. Topic summaries provide answers to technical, socio-economic and moral questions surrounding the deployment of climate science. These include how to build and test a climate model, whom and what is most at risk from climate change, and whether we should geoengineer the climate. Practical exercises and case studies provide deeper insights by taking readers through role-play activities and authentic climate change projects. Supporting materials, including notes for instructors and students, graphics, video-clips, games, and online resources, offer scope for further private study and group work. With a focus on applying climate science in practice, this book is ideal for students of geography, natural science, engineering and economics, as well as practitioners involved in the climate service industry.

Pindar and the Sublime

Pindar and the Sublime

Robert L. Fowler

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
nidottu
Pindar—the ‘Theban eagle’, as Thomas Gray famously called him—has often been taken as the archetype of the sublime poet: soaring into the heavens on wings of language and inspired by visions of eternity. In this much-anticipated new study, Robert Fowler asks in what ways the concept of the sublime can still guide a reading of the greatest of the Greek lyric poets. Working with ancient and modern treatments of the topic, especially the poetry and writings of Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843), arguably Pindar’s greatest modern reader, he develops the case for an aesthetic appreciation of Pindar’s odes as literature. Building on recent trends in criticism, he shifts the focus away from the first performance and the orality of Greek culture to reception and the experience of Pindar’s odes as text. This change of emphasis yields a fresh discussion of many facets of Pindar’s astonishing art, including the relation of the poems to their occasions, performativity, the poet’s persona, his imagery, and his myths. Consideration of Pindar’s views on divinity, transcendence, time, and the limits of language reveals him to be not only a great writer but a great thinker.

A Letter to a Friend - Reflections on Peace and Anger

A Letter to a Friend - Reflections on Peace and Anger

Robert L. Withers

Lulu.com
2016
nidottu
Whether it is road rage, rage from politicians, rage and intimidation within the corporate world, anger within families, anger in schools, vitriol and anger between retail clerk and customer, and sadly anger within churches - we are a society engulfed in anger. Peace has been taken from the earth and our hearts have grown callous. We are poisoned by anger and we are only too glad to share the poison. But there is hope, for there is another Way; it is the way of Jesus, it is the way of His peace. This is not just counter cultural, this is God-cultural - it is the culture of God. A LETTER TO A FRIEND - REFLECTIONS ON PEACE AND ANGER guides the reader away from the way of anger and into the Way of Peace, equipping the reader with thinking and strategies to combat the anger within us and the anger without us - so that instead of contributing to the culture of anger, we can learn to be agents of peace.

Marse Joe and Me

Marse Joe and Me

Robert L O'Brian

Lulu.com
2017
pokkari
Marse Joe McCarthy managed the New York Yankees from 1931 to 1946, steering them to eight American League pennants and to seven world championships. He also won a pennant for the Chicago Cubs in 1929, becoming the first manager to win pennants for teams in both leagues, a distinction that would hold for nearly sixty years. There are those who argue that McCarthy was baseball's greatest manager and for fifty years, he made Western New York his home. I became friends with Marse Joe as a boy when I delivered The Buffalo Evening News to the McCarthy home at 52 Gates Circle in Buffalo during those grim early days of the Great Depression. This is my story.

Our Jungle Road to Tokyo

Our Jungle Road to Tokyo

Robert L Eichelberger

Lulu.com
2017
pokkari
Our Jungle Road to Tokyo is the dazzling account of how US and Allied forces overcame incredible odds to rout invading Japanese from entrenched positions deep in the mountain jungles of Papua New Guinea. Battles take place in swamps, impassable vegetation, coconut plantations with invisible snipers buried in tree roots, hill-sides riddled with pill-boxes and underground bunkers impervious to artillery and mortar. It is a detailed, autobiographical report from a leading architect of the Southwest Pacific Campaign, General Robert Eichelberger, who took his orders directly from Big Chief himself, General Douglas MacArthur. The action begins in earnest with MacArthur's chilling directive to Eichelberger regarding the recapturing of Buna, on Papua's north coast: "Take Buna, Bob, or don't come back alive."

The Hollywood Screenwriter

The Hollywood Screenwriter

Robert L McCullough

Lulu.com
2024
sidottu
There has never been a better time to be a screenwriter. The recent explosion of cable and streaming services has created a huge demand for movies, limited series, and those long running "bingeable" shows that can hook viewers for years. Before streaming cable networks, the internet, and home entertainment systems radically changed how we consume our entertainment, there was a clear dividing line between writing for feature films and writing for television. That distinction no longer exists. Most major writers, filmmakers and movie stars are now eager to work on projects for the constantly evolving universe of distribution channels. Once you break in and get that first script sold or that first writing assignment, it's an open playing field for anyone who can deliver the kind of material that attracts an audience. The trick is to learn the craft and the strategies for navigating the business and to start writing...and then to persevere.
