Trammel's Trace tells the story of a borderlands smuggler and an
important passageway into early Texas. Trammel's Trace, named for
Nicholas Trammell, was the first route from the United States into
the northern boundaries of Spanish Texas. From the Great Bend of
the Red River it intersected with El Camino Real de los Tejas in
Nacogdoches. By the early nineteenth century, Trammel's Trace was
largely a smuggler's trail that delivered horses and contraband
into the region. It was a microcosm of the migration, lawlessness,
and conflict that defined the period. By the 1820s, as Mexico
gained independence from Spain, smuggling declined as Anglo
immigration became the primary use of the trail. Familiar names
such as Sam Houston, David Crockett, and James Bowie joined throngs
of immigrants making passage along Trammel's Trace. Indeed,
Nicholas Trammell opened trading posts on the Red River and near
Nacogdoches, hoping to claim a piece of Austin's new colony. Austin
denied Trammell's entry, however, fearing his poor reputation would
usher in a new wave of smuggling and lawlessness. By 1826, Trammell
was pushed out of Texas altogether and retreated back to Arkansas
Even so, as author Gary L. Pinkerton concludes, Trammell was "more
opportunist than outlaw and made the most of disorder."
This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of
arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D and 3D, trigonometry and
geometry, graphs, calculus and statistics and probability for
Marine Engineering students for the Merchant Navy OOW
qualification. Initial examples have been designed purely to
practise mathematical technique and, once these skills have been
mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where
the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are
primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from
other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be
covered, and reference made to the use of advanced calculators
where relevant.
Plans included: Approaches to Ponza (1:10 000) Approaches to Porto
d'Ischia (1:10 000) Approaches to Sorrento (1:30 000) Approaches to
Marina Grande (Capri) (1:25 000)
Snow in the Tropics by Thomas Taro Lennerfors and Peter Birch
offers the first comprehensive history of the independent reefer
operators. These shipping companies, such as Lauritzen, Salen,
Seatrade, Star Reefers, and NYK Reefer, developed the dedicated
transport of refrigerated products like meat, fish, and fruit by
ship, from the early 20th century to the present. Snow in the
Tropics describes how the history of the reefer operators has been
formed in relation to shippers, such as Dole and Chiquita, in a
constant struggle with the liner companies, such as Maersk, and in
relation to global economic and political trends. It also covers
how the industry is discursively constructed and the psychological
drivers of the business decisions in it.
The value of analytical solutions relies on the rigorous
formulation, and a strong mathematical background. This
comprehensive volume unifies the most important geometries, which
allow for the development of analytical solutions for hydrodynamic
boundary value problems. It offers detailed explanations of the
Laplance domain and numerical results associated with such
problems, providing deep insight into the theory of hydrodynamics.
Extended numerical calculations are provided and discussed,
allowing the reader to use them as benchmarks for their own
computations and making this an invaluable resource for specialists
in in various disciplines, including hydrodynamics, acoustics,
optics, electrostatics, and brain imaging.
