Intraseasonal Variability in the Atmosphere-Ocean Climate System

By: William K.-M. Lau,Duane E. Waliser

Improving the reliability of long-range forecasts of natural disasters, such as severe weather, droughts and floods, in North America, South America, Africa and the Asian/Australasian monsoon regions is of vital importance to the livelihood of millions of people who are affected by these events. In recent years the significance of major short-term climatic variability, and events such as the El Nino/Southern Oscillation in the Pacific, with its worldwide effect on rainfall patterns, has been all to clearly demonstrated. Understanding and predicting the intra-seasonal variability (ISV) of the ocean and atmosphere is crucial to improving long range environmental forecasts and the reliability of climate change projects through climate models. In the second edition of this classic book on the subject, the authors have updated the original chapters, where appropriate, and added a new chapter that includes short subjects representing substantial new development in ISV research since the publication of the first edition.

Dealing with Depression

Five Pastoral Interventions

By: William M Clements,Richard L Dayringer

This important book explores strategies to enable clergy and lay persons to identify and help individuals suffering from depression. It contains many techniques that can be used in managing depression, including coping devices, treatments, and interventions which actually help depressed persons to improve their mental health. Dealing With Depression describes types of depression and related symptoms to help clergy develop a more complete understanding of the disorder. They will learn to recognize the symptoms of depression and be better able to help individuals who suffer from it. This useful guide includes a step-by-step approach to depression intervention and proven techniques readers can use to enable people to cope more successfully with depression. This important book has also been translated into a Chinese version. Dealing With Depression brings together expert psychologists who explore five modalities for conceptualizing and managing depression, which deflates for clergy the often intimidating quality of the disorder. These experts discuss in practical and understandable ways the helping techniques they use and explain their understanding of depression and their methods of treatment. A medical-religious case conference with these experts shows how clergy and laity can help ease depression and an extensive bibliography is included to facilitate further reference. Dealing With Depression puts this common disorder back into the human life situation where it can be seen as just another temporary disturbance to which human beings are vulnerable, but which need not significantly distort their lives, relationships, spiritual development, or prosperity of body, mind, and soul.

Carbonate Reservoirs

Chapter 12. Case Histories

By: Clyde H. Moore,William J. Wade

Three economically important case histories serve as illustrations of the integration of analyses of depositional environments, sequence stratigraphic architecture, and porosity evolution during diagenesis, as a means of maximizing effectiveness of reservoir production and/or modelling: (1) the Paleozoic Madison Formation of central Wyoming, (2) the Upper Jurassic Smackover Formation of the central Gulf of Mexico, and (3) the Tertiary Malampaya buildup, offshore Philippines. The three embody a broad range of geologic contexts (e.g., icehouse versus greenhouse during deposition) and different approaches for optimizing development programs (e.g., use of surface analogs, 3D seismically based reservoir modelling). High drilling costs during development of the deep (23,000ft.) Madden Field in the Wyoming Madison Formation (due to high temperature, pressure, and H2S content of the gas) mandated high efficiency during development. Meticulous evaluation of a surface outcrop analog and maximized collection of analog data were the primary means of assuring optimal reservoir development. The Upper Jurassic Smackover trend in the central Gulf of Mexico illustrates revitalization of a mature petroleum fairway through application of sequence stratigraphic interpretation. Previously overlooked lowstand siliciclastic slope fans become geographically and stratigraphically predictable reservoir targets when understood in their proper sequence stratigraphic framework. The 3D seismic grid over the drowned isolated Oligocene–Miocene Malampaya platform, offshore Philippines, is integrated with geologic and petrophysical data from sparse well control and field-wide depositional and diagenetic models in order to develop a reservoir simulation model of the reservoir.

Slavery in Cuban Narrative

Literary Bondage

Slavery in Cuban Narrative

By: William Luis

In the nineteenth century, the Cuban economy rested on the twin pillars of sugar and slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1886, but, one hundred years later, Cuban authors were still writing antislavery narratives. William Luis explores this seeming paradox in his groundbreaking study Literary Bondage, asking why this literary genre has remained a viable means of expression. Applying Foucault's theory of counter-discourse to a vast body of antislavery literature, Luis shows how these narratives have always served to undermine the foundations of slavery, to protest the marginalized status of blacks in Cuban society, and to rewrite the canon of "acceptable" history and literature. He finds that emancipation did not end the need for such counter-discourse and reveals how the antislavery narrative continues to provide a forum for voices that have been silenced by the dominant culture. In addition to such well-known works as Cecilia Valdés, The Kingdom of This World, and The Autobiography of a Runaway Slave, Luis draws on many literary works outside the familiar canon, including Romualdo, uno de tantos, Aponte, SofíaLa familia Unzúazu, El negrero, and Los guerrilleros negros. This comprehensive coverage raises important questions about the process of canon-formation and brings to light Cuba's rich heritage of Afro-Latin literature and culture.

Soft Corruption

How Unethical Conduct Undermines Good Government and What To Do About It

By: William E. Schluter

New Jersey has long been a breeding ground for political corruption, and most of it is perfectly legal. Public officials accept favors from lobbyists, give paid positions to relatives, and rig the electoral process to favor their cronies in a system where campaign money is used to buy government results. Such unethical behavior is known as “soft corruption,” and former New Jersey legislator William E. Schluter has been fighting it for the past fifty years. In this searing personal narrative, the former state senator recounts his fight to expose and reform these acts of government misconduct. Not afraid to cite specific cases of soft corruption in New Jersey politics, he paints a vivid portrait of public servants who care more about political power and personal gain than the public good. By recounting events that he witnessed firsthand in the Garden State, he provides dramatic illustrations of ills that afflict American politics nationwide. As he identifies five main forms of soft corruption, Schluter diagnoses the state government’s ethical malaise, and offers concrete policy suggestions for how it might be cured. Not simply a dive through the muck of New Jersey politics, Soft Corruption is an important first step to reforming our nation’s political system, a book that will inspire readers to demand that our elected officials can and must do better.

The Regulators

By: William Degenhard

The Regulators is told through the eyes of Warren Hascott, who returns to America after the Revolutionary War, having spent years as a slave to the Moors. He finds the Boston he had known in his youth completely changed. The country is undergoing a depression. City merchants are engaged in an economic war with the countryside. Torn between the love of two women—Judith Burdock of Tory background, and Beulah Crane, who uses her strong will and beauty to defend the rights of the farmers—Warren finds himself gradually caught in the web of Shays’ Rebellion, which seeks to create a new kind of social order based on class equality. But it is Salderman, the Boston merchant, whose cold, ruthless business tactics finally launch Warren on his career as a rebel—a career which climaxes by the famous march on the United States arsenal at Worcester.

Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation

By: William C. Frederick

In Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation, distinguished ethicist William Frederick explores issues of fundamental importance to all who aspire to conduct their business affairs ethically. He begins with an examination of the three value systems in business that are basically incompatible, and therefore in constant tension. The first is the need for managers to efficiently allocate resources for maximum profits. The second is the natural tendency for managers, in pursuit of the first goal, to accumulate power for its own sake. The third is the desire for people in the community to create relationships that will perpetuate these communities. Frederick brings in a range of ideas and concepts from the social sciences as well as the natural sciences to illuminate his discussion. In the final section of the book he explores a range of issues of current concern to managers, including corporate culture and technology.

The Letters of William Gaddis

Revised Edition

By: William Gaddis

A revelatory collection of correspondence by the lauded author of titanic American classics such as The Recognitions and J R, shedding light on his staunchly private life. UPDATED WITH OVER TWO DOZEN NEW LETTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS Now recognized as one of the giants of postwar American fiction, William Gaddis shunned the spotlight during his life, which makes this collection of his letters a revelation. Beginning in 1930 when Gaddis was at boarding school and ending in September 1998, a few months before his death, these letters function as a kind of autobiography, and also reveal the extent to which he drew upon events in his life for his fiction. Here we see him forging his first novel, The Recognitions (1955), while living in Mexico, fighting in a revolution in Costa Rica, and working in Spain, France, and North Africa. Over the next twenty years he struggles to find time to write the National Book Award–winning J R (1975) amid the complications of work and family; deals with divorce and disillusionment before reviving his career with Carpenter’s Gothic (1985); then teaches himself enough about the law to produce A Frolic of His Own (1994). Resuming his lifelong obsession with mechanization and the arts, he finishes a last novel, Agapē Agape (published in 2002), as he lies dying. This newly revised edition includes clarifying notes by Gaddis scholar Steven Moore, as well as an afterword by the author’s daughter, Sarah Gaddis.

The Rigor of Angels

Borges, Heisenberg, Kant, and the Ultimate Nature of Reality

By: William Egginton

A NEW YORK TIMES AND NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A poet, a physicist, and a philosopher explored the greatest enigmas in the universe—the nature of free will, the strange fabric of the cosmos, the true limits of the mind—and each in their own way uncovered a revelatory truth about our place in the world “[A] mind-expanding book. . . . Elegantly written.” —The New York Times “A remarkable synthesis of the thoughts, ideas, and discoveries of three of the greatest minds that our species has produced.” —John Banville, The Wall Street Journal Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges was madly in love when his life was shattered by painful heartbreak. But the breakdown that followed illuminated an incontrovertible truth—that love is necessarily imbued with loss, that the one doesn’t exist without the other. German physicist Werner Heisenberg was fighting with the scientific establishment on the meaning of the quantum realm’s absurdity when he had his own epiphany—that there is no such thing as a complete, perfect description of reality. Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant pushed the assumptions of human reason to their mind-bending conclusions, but emerged with an idea that crowned a towering philosophical system—that the human mind has fundamental limits, and those limits undergird both our greatest achievements as well as our missteps. Through fiction, science, and philosophy, the work of these three thinkers coalesced around the powerful, haunting fact that there is an irreconcilable difference between reality “out there” and reality as we experience it. Out of this profound truth comes a multitude of galvanizing ideas: the notion of selfhood, free will, and purpose in human life; the roots of morality, aesthetics, and reason; and the origins and nature of the cosmos itself. As each of these thinkers shows, every one of us has an incomplete picture of the world. But it's only as mortal, finite beings are we able to experience the world in its richness and breathtaking majesty. A soaring and lucid reflection on the lives and work of Borges, Heisenberg, and Kant, The Rigor of Angels movingly demonstrates that the mysteries of our place in the world may always loom over us—not as a threat, but as a reminder of our humble humanity.

Black Mutiny

The Revolt on the Schooner Amistad

By: William A. Owens

Black Mutiny" is the historical retelling of one of our nation's most dramatic national crises. It is one among many historical sources used in the development of the new motion picture "Amistad." Written as a novel in 1953 by William A. Owens, this is one historian's view of the Amistad mutiny. Based on U.S. government documents, court records, official and personal correspondence, diaries, and newspaper accounts, it tells the true story of 53 illegally enslaved Africans who revolted against their captors. After the Amistad was intercepted and seized by the United States Navy, the imprisoned Africans were forced to stand trial for mutiny and murder in a case that reached the Supreme Court. With its impassioned plea for freedom for all people, "Black Mutiny" brilliantly recreates a critical moment in America's racial history more than twenty years before the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a rousing and unforgettable story of oppression, justice, and the precious cost of human dignity.

Soldiers' Pay and War Birds: Diary of an Unknown Aviator

By: William Faulkner,John McGavock Grider

Examining the reality of First World War aviators, this volume features William Faulkner’s astonishing first novel, Soldiers’ Pay, alongside the diary of an unknown veteran who died in action. William Faulkner’s Soldiers’ Pay was first published in 1926 and explores the life of a severely wounded aviator when he returns from war to his small hometown. The seminal novel presents the struggles of many soldiers following the First World War and gives insight into the men’s physical and psychological trauma. Accompanying Faulkner’s masterpiece is the diary of an American WWI aviator. The diary’s author served alongside the aviator in battle and published the text in honour of his comrade. John MacGavock Grider is commonly thought to be the diarist, with his memoirs being edited and published in 1926 by his friend and fellow aviator, Elliot White Springs. Detailing his life in battle from 20th September 1917 to late August 1918, Grider describes his flying experience and provides glimpses into a soldier’s off-duty life. This new edition of Soldiers' Pay and War Birds: Diary of an Unknown Aviator is complete with two introductory poems by Thomas Hardy and Wilfred Owen. A remarkable volume, not to be missed by those interested in the First World War and American history.
