This monograph presents, for the first time, a unified and comprehensive introduction to some of the basic transport properties of porous media, such as electrical and hydraulic conductivity, air permeability and diffusion. The approach is based on critical path analysis and the scaling of transport properties, which are individually described as functions of saturation. At the same time, the book supplies a tutorial on percolation theory for hydrologists, providing them with the tools for solving actual problems. In turn, a separate chapter serves to introduce physicists to some of the language and complications of groundwater hydrology necessary for successful modeling. The end-of-chapter problems often indicate open questions, which young researchers entering the field can readily start working on. This significantly revised and expanded third edition includes in particular two new chapters: one on advanced fractal-based models, and one devoted to the discussion of various open issues such as the role of diffusion vs. advection, preferential flow vs. critical path, universal vs. non-universal exponents for conduction, and last but not least, the overall influence of the experimental apparatus in data collection and theory validation. "The book is suitable for advanced graduate courses, with selected problems and questions appearing at the end of each chapter. [...] I think the book is an important work that will guide soil scientists, hydrologists, and physicists to gain a better qualitative and quantitative understanding of multitransport properties of soils."

"But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished..."" Revelation 10;7"
They murdered Duke Nolan's family...
They stripped his brain naked...
They should've used a bomb...
A black hole forms at the Pentagon; thousands of airplanes drop from the sky; Earth's core obliterates New Zealand; and a blizzard strikes Vatican City in mid-June. Things are about to get a lot worse when it's all-out war between God, the US military, science, evolution, an alien civilization...and Duke Nolan.
At stake? The extinction of all humankind.

Nineteen year old Duke Nolan is a born loser until one fateful night when he comes face to face with the harshest reality any person could possibly endure. That night Duke is set on a collision course to save Earth from the maniacal plans of a madman...who also happens to be the US secretary of defense. Shoulder-harness yourself to your chair and hold on to your loved ones while Michael Allen Hunt's debut about the future of Earth rides the rails of complete annihilation.
Thirty-seven years pass since that fateful night, and Duke keeps it a secret from everyone except his wife and three children. One day, top secret military files mysteriously show up on his home computer, and Duke learns that the US Air Force has built a spacecraft and hidden it below Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Now the nightmares of his past come crashing down on him, and Duke immediately realizes what he must do: sacrifice everything and destroy the OPLAR Spacecraft before it becomes operational...or all humankind will go extinct.
Secretary of Defense Donovan Beasley has siphoned three hundred million dollars from US coffers during the OPLAR Spacecraft's twenty-year construction. Like Duke, Beasley knows what will happen when the OPLAR Spacecraft becomes operational...and has his own reasons for wanting it to happen. Beasley is alerted to Duke's secret and his impending mission, and he orders Duke terminated, triggering a war between the former loser and the most powerful military in the history of the planet.
A genre-bending apocalyptic thriller of epic proportions, Hunt explores the relationship between God, science, evolution, humankind, and alien civilizations-all the while stretching your concept of reality at the speed of light. Probing our world for clues that defy current logic and connecting seemingly unrelated phenomena, "Naked Brain" will have you on the edge of your seat as the strands are woven together in an epic, final confrontation.
