How the earth's previous global warming phase, from the tenth to the fifteenth centuries, reshaped human societies from the Arctic to the Sahara - a wide-ranging history with sobering lessons for our own time. From the tenth to the fifteenth centuries the earth experienced a rise in surface temperature that changed climate worldwide - a preview of today's global warming. In some areas, including Western Europe, longer summers brought bountiful harvests and population growth that led to cultural flowering. In the Arctic, Inuit and Norse sailors made cultural connections across thousands of miles as they traded precious iron goods. Polynesian sailors, riding new wind patterns, were able to settle the remotest islands on earth. But in many parts of the world, the warm centuries brought drought and famine. Elaborate societies in western and central America collapsed, and the vast building complexes of Chaco Canyon and the Mayan Yucatan were left empty. As...

Particle size distribution is a key factor in determining the efficiency of most granular and powder based operations. One of the oldest and most popular methods of size analysis is sieving or screening where particles are classified according to their passage through an aperture of known size having either circular or square shape with the particle size being the diameter or the side dimension of this aperture. The need for on-line particle size analysers was one of the motivations to introduce image-based particle size analysis systems to many industries. In general, the sequential steps of how these systems work can be summarised as follows: -Acquisition of raw images from the scene, improving their quality and segment particles profiles. -Extraction of size related data from particle -Transformation of the measured data to the required particle size distribution. -Application of correction factors to compensate for particle overlap and segregation. Therefore, this book is an...

In a sweltering Manhattan apartment, a group of Russian immigrants attends the deathbed of a charismatic artist named ALik. They pass the time reminiscing about their Love for him, replaying old rivalries, drinking vodka, and trying to get reports from CNN about the upheaval in their homeland. This premature wake is a microcosm of the immigrant experience and a lively and sensitive portrayal of the Russian soul. Devastatingly keen in its observation of character, "The Funeral Party" introduces a writer who captures, wryly and tenderly, our complex thoughts and emotions about life and death, love and loss, homeland and exile.
