To ask the right question, one needs to have some idea of what the
answer might be. So it is with remediation. There is no such thing
as too much information when it comes to characterizing a site, as
information can aid in selecting the best remediation options.
Unfortunately, the collection of data for making an informed
decision is often costly, forcing professionals to make decisions
on incomplete data. The lack of accurate data can also lead to the
wrong remediation method selections, unwanted surprises, and extra
expense. Based on the author's more than 40 years of experience
working on environmental projects, Remediation Manual for
Contaminated Sites provides a practical guide to environmental
remediation and cleanups. It presents a broad overview of the
environmental remediation process, distilled into what one needs to
know to evaluate a specific challenge or solve a remediation
problem. The text offers guidance on tasks that range from managing
consultants and contractors to gathering data, selecting a suitable
remediation technology, and calculating remediation costs. The book
includes remediation strategies for a variety of contaminants and
examines a wide range of technologies for the remediation of water
and soil, including excavation, wells, drainage, soil venting,
vapor stripping, incineration, bioremediation, containment,
solidification, vitrification, and phytoremediation. Written as a
down-to-earth reference for professionals faced with the challenges
of remediating a contaminated site, this book is also useful as a
primer for students and those new to the field. It includes
numerous figures, photographs, tables, and helpful checklists.
Although not much is known about the three Stuart plays in this
edition, which was first published in 1987, we can ascribe them to
one of the English universities, and each is indicative of a
distinctly different influence on the Renaissance academic drama.
Heteroclitanomalonomia is part of a minor subgenre referred to as
the academic play. It demonstrates the predominance of language or
rhetoric studies in the period and its very subject is of purely
academic interest. Gigantomachia displays the continuing interest
of the Renaissance in classical mythology. And A Christmas Messe
follows a more homely tradition, a farcical personification of the
mundane. This title will be of interest to students of English
Literature, Drama and Performance.

The articles in this volume focus on control theory of systems
governed by nonlinear linear partial differential equations,
identification and optimal design of such systems, and modelling of
advanced materials. Optimal design of systems governed by PDEs is a
relatively new area of study, now particularly relevant because of
interest in optimization of fluid flow in domains of variable
configuration, advanced and composite materials studies and "smart"
materials which include possibilities for built in sensing and
control actuation. The book will be of interest to both applied
mathematicians and to engineers.
As Earl Scruggs picked his banjo with machine gun precision at his
1945 debut at the Ryman Auditorium, he set in motion a successful
career and enduring legacy that would eclipse anything the humble
farm boy from North Carolina could have imagined. Scruggs's
revolutionary three-finger roll patterns electrified audiences and
transformed the banjo into a mainstream solo instrument pursued by
innumerable musicians. In Earl Scruggs: Banjo Icon, Gordon
Castelnero and David L. Russell chronicle the life and legacy of
the man who single-handedly reinvigorated the five-string banjo and
left an indelible mark on bluegrass and folk music. After his
tenure with the father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, Scruggs
formed (with Lester Flatt) the Foggy Mountain Boys, also known as
Flatt and Scruggs; the Earl Scruggs Revue with his sons; and
finally his Family & Friends band. Scruggs released more than
forty albums and reached millions of fans through performances on
The Beverly Hillbillies and his music's inclusion in the 1967 movie
Bonnie and Clyde. Over his long career, Scruggs received numerous
accolades and collaborated with stars such as Billy Joel, Elton
John, Sting, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Vince Gill, Travis
Tritt, the Byrds, and Steve Martin. Through interwoven interviews
with the Scruggs family and more than sixty notable musicians and
entertainers, Castelnero and Russell reveal that, despite the fame
Scruggs achieved, he never lost his humility and integrity. This
biography testifies to Scruggs's enduring influence and sheds light
on the history of bluegrass for musicians, students, and anyone
entranced by Scruggs's unmistakable sound.
