Albert Bond Lambert

Aviation Pioneer

By: Christopher Lynch

Albert Lambert was born in Missouri and went into his father's pharmaceutical business, but he found his true love in the air. While visiting Paris in 1906, he became interested in ballooning, then in airplanes. In 1907, Albert helped form the St. Louis Aero Club to promote aviation, then helped form the first airport in the area. In 1923, he opened Lambert-St. Louis Flying Field. He also helped raise money to build The Spirit of St. Louis for Charles Lindbergh.

A History of the Mediterranean Air War, 1940–1945

Sicily and Italy to the Fall of Rome 14 May, 1943–5 June, 1944

By: Christopher Shores,Giovanni Massimello,Russell Guest,Frank Olynyk,Winfried Bock,Andy Thomas

This fourth volume in the comprehensive series “fills a gap in the existing narrative” of WWII’s Mediterranean air war (Journal of Military History). The fourth volume in this momentous series commences with the attacks on the Italian island fortress of Pantellaria, which led to its surrender and occupation achieved almost by air attack alone. The account continues with the ultimately successful, but at times very hard fought, invasions of Sicily and southern Italy as burgeoning Allied air power, now with full US involvement, increasingly dominated the skies overhead. The successive occupations of Sardinia and Corsica are also covered in detail. This is essentially the story of the tactical air forces up to the point when Rome was occupied, just at the same time as the Normandy landings were occurring in northwest France. With regards to the long-range tactical role of the Allied heavy bombers, only the period from May to October is examined, while they remained based in North Africa, with the narrative continuing in a future volume. This volume also delves into the story of “the soldiers’ air force.” Frequently overshadowed by more immediate newsworthy events elsewhere, the soldiers’ struggle was often of an equally Homeric nature. “No future publication on the Mediterranean air war will be credible without use of this series.” —Air Power History

Who's #1?

100-Plus Years of Controversial National Champions in College Football

By: Christopher J. Walsh

There’s nothing quite as controversial in American sports as college football’s national championship, making it common fodder for talk around the water cooler as well as loftier debates among professional journalists in the sports pages. Walsh takes a comprehensive view of over a century of controversy, breaking teams down into one of three categories: perennial powers, contenders, and former greats. He then reviews the ten most controversial championships, suggests candidates for the best overall football program, and concludes with some thoughts on the future of the BCS. A comprehensive appendix lists national champions since 1869; AP and USA Today/UPI final polls; final BCS standings; first-team All-Americans; and College Football Hall of Fame inductees.

The Prepared Investor

How the Next Crisis Will Affect Your Financial Independence

By: Christopher Manske

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Prepared Investor

How the Next Crisis Will Affect Your Financial Independence

By: Christopher Manske

Why do some crises affect the stock market far more than others? What will happen to an individual's financial security when the next major terrorist attack occurs? When faced with disaster, why do investment advisors keep telling clients to just be patient? Wall Street typically suggests that, when crisis hits, investors must put life on pause with the hope that someday, perhaps years later, portfolio values will return to normal. This standard "wait and see" approach involves sitting through chaos, confusion, and even long-term loss. The Prepared Investor offers an innovative and practical approach that reveals how the true story of investing through crisis is very different from the standard dogma that's accepted today. Christopher Manske demonstrates how readers can protect and grow their net worth in the face of calamity using twenty specific action steps built on an understanding of how different crises affect society and the investment markets. Like Outliers showed a different way to look at success and Nine Lies About Work turned the establishment upside down on leadership and teams, Manske convincingly demonstrates that society's reaction to true crisis is absolutely predictable. In making this pattern clear, Manske offers a compelling and instructive approach to maximizing your portfolio despite tomorrow's uncertainty. From this vantage point, readers will see why the investing world barely reacted when a disease killed more people than all the deaths attributed to both World Wars, how a few National Guardsmen sank the entire stock market, how the secret Napoleon knew explains investors' selling behavior, and why a simple statement from particular leaders can be just as much a crisis as an airplane flying into the World Trade Center. Investment concepts change with research and experience. Diversification, though accepted today, used to be a very controversial way to manage risk in a portfolio. Similarly, Wall Street did not always use a Risk Assessment Questionnaire to help investors select the proper investments. Manske challenges today's dogma surrounding crisis investing and suggests the time has come to change the story because, during a real crisis, "wait and see" is horribly inadequate. Wall Street's current approach leaves investors dependent on the promise that things will get better, but successful portfolio management in the face of major calamity is more proactive - and a lot more optimistic - than it seems on the surface. At its core, The Prepared Investor is about how training and preparation can help people to behave better than their instinctual reactions. By shining a light on how specific catalysts create certain patterns of behavior, Manske shows readers that if the crisis is new and threatening, the effect will be predictable and familiar. On the curious journey to answer the question, "How can investors protect and grow their net worth in the face of crisis?" readers will come to understand how foolish it is for Wall Street to approach all types of calamity with the same "just hold on" solution. Using well-researched case studies, Manske explains why academics cannot agree on the actual start of the Vietnam War, what the coronavirus and advancing artificial intelligence have in common, why the biggest danger to a portfolio during crisis is probably the owner's own natural instincts, and why it's important to get ready for tomorrow's crisis right now. Pulitzer Prize winner Peggy Noonan wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "You can't see all the world's weapons and all its madness and not know that eventually we will face a terrible day or days... Maybe it will involve nuclear weapons...an attack on the grid, maybe bioterrorism. But it will be bad..." People know something's coming as they listen to the news warn of cybersecurity issues and North Korea's nuclear program. They read about extremists who take drastic steps to be prepared for anything from a dirty bomb to

The Prophetic Pulpit

Clergy, Churches, and Communities in American Politics

By: Paul A. Djupe,Christopher P. Gilbert

In this groundbreaking work, Paul A. Djupe and Christopher Gilbert analyze national data from a survey of over 2,400 Episcopal and Evangelical Lutheran Church of America clergy, looking deeper into their motivations for political action. Using these data, the authors argue that clergy roles in politics and civic life result from the intersection of their personal beliefs and interests, the specific needs of their congregation and community, and ongoing influences from their denomination.

Theory of Molecular Fluids

Volume 2: Applications

The Recognition Sutras

Illuminating a 1,000-Year-Old Spiritual Masterpiece

By: Christopher D Wallis

One thousand years ago, in the valley of Kashmir, a great Tantric master named Kshemaraja wrote his masterpiece: the Pratyabhijnahrdayam, which means "The Essence of the Recognition Philosophy". This text was a concise primer, written to introduce spiritual seekers to the Recognition philosophy in less formally philosophical, more approachable language. What Kshemaraja created turned out to be one of the world's great spiritual masterpieces, breathtaking in its brevity but stunning in its power. It came to be considered equivalent to scripture itself by later generations, because of its undeniable inspiration. This book expounds the subtleties of this spiritual and philosophical classic. One of the most powerful and revelatory spiritual masterpieces of world history, the Pratyabhijnahrdayam is one of the primary sources for the study and practice of nondual Tantrik Yoga, and it has never been accurately translated or fully explained until now.

Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry

By: Alan R. Katritzky,Christopher A. Ramsden,John A. Joule,Viktor V. Zhdankin

Heterocyclic compounds play a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Their practical applications range from extensive clinical use to fields as diverse as agriculture, photography, biocide formulation and polymer science. Written by leading scholars and industry experts, the Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry is thoroughly updated with over 50% new content. It has been rewritten with a new expanded author team, who have carefully distilled essential information on the reactivity, structure and synthesis of heterocycles from the 2008 major reference work Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III. To bring the work up to date the author team have also added new synthetic examples and structures, key applications and new references from 2008-2010. Contains more than 1500 clearly drawn structures and reactions. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this one of the most authoritative single-volume accounts of modern heterocyclic chemistry available and should be useful reference for those teaching a heterocyclic course. - Covers the structure, reactivity and synthesis of all heterocyclic compounds as distilled from the larger 15-volume reference work - Saves researchers time when they require important information on heterocycles--speeding them to thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures and pertinent reviews by leading experts - Features 35% new material to compliment the completely revised text

Theory of Molecular Fluids

Volume 2: Applications

By: Christopher G. Gray,Keith E. Gubbins,Christopher G. Joslin

Existing texts on the statistical mechanics of liquids treat only spherical molecules. However, nearly all fluids of practical interest are composed of non-spherical molecules that are often dipolar or exhibit other kinds of electrostatic forces. This book describes the statistical mechanical theory of fluids of non-spherical molecules and its application to the calculation of physical properties, and is a sequel to Theory of Molecular Fluids. Volume 1: Fundamentals by C.G. Gray and K.E. Gubbins. The emphasis is on the new phenomena that arise due to the non-spherical nature of the intermolecular forces, such as new phase transitions, structural features and dielectric effects. It contains chapters on the thermodynamic properties of pure and mixed fluids, surface properties, X-ray and neutron diffraction structure factors, dielectric properties and spectroscopic properties. The book is aimed at beginning graduate students and research workers in chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering.

Development and Characterization of a Dispersion-Encoded Method for Low-Coherence Interferometry

By: Christopher Taudt

This Open Access book discusses an extension to low-coherence interferometry by dispersion-encoding. The approach is theoretically designed and implemented for applications such as surface profilometry, polymeric cross-linking estimation and the determination of thin-film layer thicknesses. During a characterization, it was shown that an axial measurement range of 79.91 μm with an axial resolution of 0.1 nm is achievable. Simultaneously, profiles of up to 1.5 mm in length were obtained in a scan-free manner. This marked a significant improvement in relation to the state-of-the-art in terms of dynamic range. Also, the axial and lateral measurement range were decoupled partially while functional parameters such as surface roughness were estimated. The characterization of the degree of polymeric cross-linking was performed as a function of the refractive index. It was acquired in a spatially-resolved manner with a resolution of 3.36 x 10-5. This was achieved by the development of a novel mathematical analysis approach.

One Way Out

By: Christopher Hendricks

Growing up, I had always had a strange fascination of the idea that a spiritual realm could exist. Every time ghost programs came on television, I'd be watching. Although I couldn't believe in God, Satan or anything else that wasn't tangible. I needed physical proof to comprehend the existence of everything. In high school I began going on paranormal investigations weekly. In my eleventh grade English class I received an Opposing Viewpoints project. The subject I chose was Paranormal Phenomenon. Instead of using the encyclopedias to research my subject like the rest of my class did, I went straight to the real source. The following week I found a Ouija Board, video camera, and other tools to carry out my own paranormal investigation. When I got more info from spirits than I had intended to, I began feeling the presence of something staring at me. The last night of the investigation, I got home late at night. When I stepped into the doorway something occurred that took everyone in the house complete surprise.
