A sweeping family drama set in London during the summer of 1976. The disappearance of a family patriarch forces three adult siblings to gather together to find him and to confront what they really know about their father and themselves.

"In this significantly updated new edition, Thermal Design details the physical mechanisms of standard thermal devices while integrating essential formulas and detailed derivations to give a practical understanding of the field to students. The textbook examines the design of thermal devices through mathematical modeling, graphical optimization, and occasionally computational-fluid-dynamic (CFD) simulation. Moreover, it presents information on significant...

Heat Recovery Steam Generator Technology is the first fully comprehensive resource to provide readers with the fundamental information needed to understand HRSGs. The book's highly experienced editor has selected a number of key technical personnel to contribute to the book, also including burner and emission control device suppliers and qualified practicing engineers. In the introduction, various types of HRSGs are identified and discussed, along...

Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least-Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map--if they get on at all--only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why,...

"An adventurous ride through the most blisteringly hot regions of science, history, and culture. Melting glaciers, warming oceans, droughts-it's clear that today's world is getting hotter. But while we know the agony of a sunburn or the comfort of our winter heaters, do we really understand heat? A bestselling scientist and nature writer who goes to any extreme to uncover the answers, Bill Streever sets off to find out what heat really means. Let...

Tom Thomas doesn't know where to hide the ice cream cone he bought as a Mother's Day gift. Simka's suggestion to store it inside a thermos in dad's office seems like a good idea until Nolik gets trapped inside.

"Budding scientists will love learning about the properties of heat by planning and carrying out investigations that explore how the energy form can be measured, conducted, and transferred."-- Provided by publisher.

"Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer is a textbook that introduces students to the physical mechanisms of convective heat transfer and teaches them how to build mathematical models of physical processes. By emphasizing software methods throughout, the book provides a new perspective on convective heat transfer. Twelve chapters focus on fundamental concepts and are integrated with explanations of computational programs like MATLAB and MAPLE. This...

Host Emily Calandrelli meets with a team of scientists to discuss the dynamic, explosive, and dangerous center of the Solar System: the Sun. Emily explores the threat that two types of solar explosions can pose to us here on Earth. Plus, we get a tour of the world's largest solar farm in California's Mojave Desert.
