Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The book represents all the knowledge we currently have on ocean
circulation. It presents an up-to-date summary of the state of the
science relating to the role of the oceans in the physical climate
system.
The book is structured to guide the reader through the wide
range of world ocean circulation experiment (WOCE) science in a
consistent way. Cross-references between contributors have been
added, and the book has a comprehensive index and unified reference
list.
The book is simple to read, at the undergraduate level. It was
written by the best scientists in the world who have collaborated
to carry out years of experiments to better understand ocean
circulation.
Presents in situ and remote observations with worldwide
coverage; Provides theoretical understanding of processes within
the ocean and at its boundaries to other Earth System components;
and Allows for simulating ocean and climate processes in the past,
present and future using a hierarchy of physical-biogeochemical
models

John Gould's family first settled in Maine in 1618, so by the time
he came along in the early 20th century, the Gould's were well
steeped in the vernacular of the region, and his first inheritance
was the turned-around, honed-down, and tuned-up language of his
farming neighbors who seldom strayed beyond the village store.
Maine Lingo was first compiled in 1975, when TV, radio, and other
leveling media had begun to seriously erode regional speech
distinctions, and this dictionary will furnish anyone interested in
Maine or regional dialects with the terminologies of regular folks,
from lobstermen to farmers to woodsmen. Altogether it is a fun and
fascinating collection of lore, humor, and straight information
that will have you able to tell your billdad from your wazzat in no
time flat.
Beginning with the legendary story of a man in Jonesport (or was it
Dexter or Waterford or Litchfield?) who raffled off his horse,
which incidentally had been dead for some time, these twenty-nine
tales cover the length and breadth of Maine and extend back to the
sixteenth-century fishing camps that were set up a hundred years
before Jamestown and Plymouth. Learn about the origin and history
of "schoolmarms," along with other classic tales on Down East
thrift, the evils of drink, Maine weather, lumbering folklore, and
Paul Bunyan. These yarns often pull your leg, so keep a sharp eye!
Such a collection makes for an encyclopedia of the great cultural
achievement of Mainers, which has been compared to the Rosetta
Stone and the birth of Chaucer. But essentially The Jonesport
Raffle is a book of the highest humor that will be a source of
infinite enjoyment.
This is a volume of essays on ancient (and modern) Greek myth, culture, society, and literature. It covers the work of almost thirty years and is inspired by a lifetime's teaching experience with university and mature students. Some of the essays are already counted as 'classics' and a number have not been published before.
