The Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean

Structure, Dynamics and Applications

By: Alexander Soloviev,Roger Lukas

The rationale for publishing a second edition of this monograph is that this area of research continues to show remarkable advancement. The new generation of synthetic aperture radar satellites has provided unprecedented spatial resolution of sea surface features. In addition, satellites to measure sea surface salinity have been launched. Computational fluid dynamics models open new opportunities in understanding the processes in the near-surface layer of the ocean and their visibility from space. Passive acoustic methods for monitoring short surface waves have significantly progressed. Of importance for climate research, processes in the near-surface layer of the ocean contribute to errors in satellite estimates of sea surface temperature trends. Due to growing applications of near-surface science, it is anticipated that more students will be trained in this area of research. Therefore this second edition of the monograph is closer to a textbook format.

Big Trouble

A Murder in a Small Western Town Sets Off a Strugg

By: J. Anthony Lukas

Hailed as "toweringly important" (Baltimore Sun), "a work of scrupulous and significant reportage" (E. L. Doctorow), and "an unforgettable historical drama" (Chicago Sun-Times), Big Trouble brings to life the astonishing case that ultimately engaged President Theodore Roosevelt, Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the politics and passions of an entire nation at century's turn. After Idaho's former governor is blown up by a bomb at his garden gate at Christmastime 1905, America's most celebrated detective, Pinkerton James McParland, takes over the investigation. His daringly executed plan to kidnap the radical union leader "Big Bill" Haywood from Colorado to stand trial in Idaho sets the stage for a memorable courtroom confrontation between the flamboyant prosecutor, progressive senator William Borah, and the young defender of the dispossessed, Clarence Darrow. Big Trouble captures the tumultuous first decade of the twentieth century, when capital and labor, particularly in the raw, acquisitive West, were pitted against each other in something close to class war. Lukas paints a vivid portrait of a time and place in which actress Ethel Barrymore, baseball phenom Walter Johnson, and editor William Allen White jostled with railroad magnate E. H. Harriman, socialist Eugene V. Debs, gunslinger Charlie Siringo, and Operative 21, the intrepid Pinkerton agent who infiltrated Darrow's defense team. This is a grand narrative of the United States as it charged, full of hope and trepidation, into the twentieth century.

The Limits of Change

Was ist der Wert der beständigen Dinge?

Unsere Gegenwart scheint mehr und mehr Umbrüchen zu unterliegen. Eine Innovation folgt der nächsten, Traditionen gelten schnell als überholt, moderne Trends werden altmodisch. Dieser permanente Wandel verläuft in unserer Wahrnehmung immer rasanter. Auch bei einem Blick in die Vergangenheit scheinen Umbrüche, neue Ideen und Erfindungen zu überwiegen und in ständigen Wertverschiebungen zu resultieren. Aber was ist mit den beständigen Dingen? Nicht nur Veränderungen schaffen Werte, sondern auch Beständigkeit. Dabei stellt sich nicht nur die Frage, welche Werte durch Kontinuität entstehen, sondern auch welche Werte sie bedingen. Traditionen sind identitätsstiftend. Sie gehören zum kulturellen Gedächtnis, bilden oftmals eine Basis für Innovationen und haben dadurch eine eigene Bedeutung im Hinblick auf Veränderungen. Kontinuitäten zu erkennen, ist in einer Welt im stetigen Wandel ein schwieriges Unterfangen und auch im Rückblick nicht unproblematisch, vor allem wenn die Akteure selbst nicht mehr zu sprechen sind. Aber ein Blick auf die materielle Kultur erlaubt Aufschlüsse über Beständigkeit. Von Menschen gefertigte Objekte sind Traditionsträger, sie beherbergen die Ideen und Wertvorstellungen ihrer Gestalter und bleiben über Zeit und Raum hinweg erhalten. The Limits of Change umfasst Beiträge aus Archäologie, Philosophie und Ethnologie, die sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit der Thematik der Kontinuität auseinandersetzen und den Sachverhalt kritisch beleuchten. So wird zum einen der Blick in die Vergangenheit gerichtet und auf Basis archäologischer Überlieferungen das Thema untersucht. Zum anderen liefert die Diskussion zeitgenössischer und globaler Sachverhalte wichtige Hinweise im Hinblick auf Kontinuität und Tradition.
