Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of a crucial, dwindling natural resource: an invisible ocean of fresh water under the High Plains. The Ogallala Aquifer that lies deep beneath the Great Plains from Texas to Colorado contains enough water to fill Lake Erie nine times! Every year five trillion gallons are pumped out for irrigation, and if (or when) the aquifer goes dry, $20 billion worth of food and fiber grown with that irrigation will disappear. William Ashforth tells the fascinating history of the Ogallala from its formation millions of years ago to glimpses of the future when the Great Plains could return to their Sahara Desert-like past.
Download or read book Year of Blue Water written by Yanyi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize How can a search for self‑knowledge reveal art as a site of community? Yanyi’s arresting and straightforward poems weave experiences of immigration as a Chinese American, of racism, of mental wellness, and of gender from a queer and trans perspective. Between the contrast of high lyric and direct prose poems, Yanyi invites the reader to consider how to speak with multiple identities through trauma, transition, and ordinary life. These poems constitute an artifact of a groundbreaking and original author whose work reflects a long journey self‑guided through tarot, therapy, and the arts. Foregrounding the power of friendship, Yanyi’s poems converse with friends as much as with artists both living and dead, from Agnes Martin to Maggie Nelson to Robin Coste Lewis. This instructive collection gives voice to the multifaceted humanity within all of us and inspires attention, clarity, and hope through art-making and community.

Download or read book Blue Mind written by Wallace J. Nichols and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark book by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols on the remarkable effects of water on our health and well-being. Why are we drawn to the ocean each summer? Why does being near water set our minds and bodies at ease? In Blue Mind, Wallace J. Nichols revolutionizes how we think about these questions, revealing the remarkable truth about the benefits of being in, on, under, or simply near water. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with compelling personal stories from top athletes, leading scientists, military veterans, and gifted artists, he shows how proximity to water can improve performance, increase calm, diminish anxiety, and increase professional success. Blue Mind not only illustrates the crucial importance of our connection to water; it provides a paradigm shifting "blueprint" for a better life on this Blue Marble we call home.

Book Synopsis Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors by : Alfred F Sanford
Download or read book Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors written by Alfred F Sanford and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the world's mystery from the deck of an ocean-going sailboat propelled by the wind and your own wits and skills, is the most magnificent of personal accomplishments. Amateur ocean sailing developed during the first half of the 20th century and reached its peak during the two decades after WWII. Then, mass produced and marketed boats subtly undercut the bond between the sailor and his boat. The sport lost its meaning. Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors explores the quiet counter-revolution to mass production boat-enabled by cold-molding and the epoxy bonding of wood--which has presented an opportunity for sailors to re-bond with their craft.Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors begins with a history of ocean sailing. Then it uses the sciences of material and structure to demonstrate the superiority of wood as a boat building material. It climaxes with the description of a new way for building an epoxy bonded wood boat that will last the next generation to use. An afterword describes use of the new technique to restore to life traditionally built wood boats that are failing, yet too precious to abandon. For sailors, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors is a celebration of the wits and skills they exercise to sail upon the sea. For builders, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors offers new techniques for economically building ocean going boats. For designers, Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors offers history to inspire them to remember, reflect and refine the requirements of the sea overlooked in the rush to modernity. For the craftsman, by itself, a short appendix concerning use of the tape measure will earn the cost of the book.Wooden Boats for Blue Water Sailors will delight and inform the sailor, boat builder, yacht designer and bring joy to those who love beautiful sailboats.
Book Synopsis Blue Water Ditching by : Capt Dave Montgomery
Download or read book Blue Water Ditching written by Capt Dave Montgomery and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional pilots have a doctorate level of knowledge surrounding aviation. They spend years learning all aspects of aviation from federal regulations, international regulations, communication procedures, emergency procedures, instrument procedures, flight manuals, company manuals, operating procedures, and finally techniques on how to do their job. However there is an emergency procedure which is trained around (crew members learn the beginning, and the end), but very seldom spend time dealing with the real time exercise of what is going to happen in a ditching. All crew members learn how to secure a bad engine. Or handle an electrical malfunction. Or control bleed air in a pneumatics problem. They also train how to exit the aircraft in the water in case of a water landing. And how to climb into rafts and in some cases how to climb into a basket for a helicopter pickup. But few crew members have ever worked through the scenario of engine failure at altitude to water contact. This book begins with the concept that no pilot is too experienced, or too old to learn a new lesson. The concept is best demonstrated by the work of Captain Al Haynes. Captain Haynes was the pilot in command of the severely crippled DC-10 which crash landed in Sioux City in 1989. 184 people survived the landing against all odds. Captain Haynes began a speaking career and many years later a Belgian captain, Eric Gennotte attended one of the talks. In 2003 Captain Gennotte is flying an airbus taking off from Bagdad. The aircraft is struck by a missile and the left engine is afire and portions of the wing are burning off. The airbus loses all hydraulics and control of the flight surfaces. Gennotte flies the jet using techniques taught by Haynes and brings the jet back to the airport for a safe landing. In 2009 we all saw video of a large passenger jet safely land on the Hudson River in New York. Visual proof that water landing can be done. The book also covers many of the other successful ditchings of the last 55 years. The book breaks down ditching training into four phases starting with home study or subjects covered at formal training. The last phases go into deep detail of the last 1000 feet before landing and down to the last 100 feet to contact. The author writes from his experiences of landing a Lake Seawolf in the off-shore environment during a USAF test program. Those experiences allow him to detail exactly what the pilot will see as the aircraft makes the last 1000 feet of the descent. This level of detailed training has never been published before. Pilots today are aware of the 406 megaherts emergency locator transmitter. In the chapter on SARSAT Systems they will learn how the transmitter talks to the satellites which talk to the ground stations which talk to the rescue coordination centers which talk to the mission command centers where rescue forces can be launched. And this system works worldwide to communicate with rescue forces on six continents. If an airframe goes down out over the wide open ocean or up north on an ice pack, who is going to pick up the crew and passengers? The chapter on maritime integration to search and rescue walks through the basic steps of how a coast guard or rescue forces can find a boat on the water to send to the rescue. Included in the book is a sample simulator scenario for training departments. One scenario builds to a quick reaction ditching (on-board fire) and the second scenario build to a drift down ditching (intense hail damage). The scenarios are built for realism and training value. Generic ditching checklists are for crews flying without a prescribed ditch checklist. The book concludes with a glossary of aviation definitions for the layman and the beginning pilots studying ditching. Professional crews crossing the ponds today are well versed in APU, CPDLC, HMG, GMDSS, EICAS, PACOTS, and RVR?but many readers will be lost in the jargon.
Book Synopsis Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3 million U.S. military personnel were sent to Southeast Asia to fight in the Vietnam War. Since the end of the Vietnam War, veterans have reported numerous health effects. Herbicides used in Vietnam, in particular Agent Orange have been associated with a variety of cancers and other long term health problems from Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes to heart disease. Prior to 1997 laws safeguarded all service men and women deployed to Vietnam including members of the Blue Navy. Since then, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has established that Vietnam veterans are automatically eligible for disability benefits should they develop any disease associated with Agent Orange exposure, however, veterans who served on deep sea vessels in Vietnam are not included. These "Blue Water Navy" veterans must prove they were exposed to Agent Orange before they can claim benefits. At the request of the VA, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined whether Blue Water Navy veterans had similar exposures to Agent Orange as other Vietnam veterans. Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure comprehensively examines whether Vietnam veterans in the Blue Water Navy experienced exposures to herbicides and their contaminants by reviewing historical reports, relevant legislation, key personnel insights, and chemical analysis to resolve current debate on this issue.
