Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in
Geoscience provides a much-needed resource on semi-Lagrangian
theory, methods, and applications. Covering a variety of
applications, the book brings together developments of the
semi-Lagrangian in one place and offers a comparison of
semi-Lagrangian methods with Eulerian-based approaches. It also
includes a chapter dedicated to difficulties of dealing with the
adjoint of semi-Lagrangian methods and illustrates the behavior of
different schemes for different applications. This allows for a
better understanding of which schemes are most efficient, stable,
consistent, and likely to introduce the minimum model error into a
given problem. Beneficial for students learning about numerical
approximations to advection, researchers applying these techniques
to geoscientific modeling, and practitioners looking for the best
approach for modeling, Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their
Applications in Geoscience fills a crucial gap in numerical
modeling and data assimilation in geoscience.
This is a collection of ideas for the people who seek to know and
enjoy more of God's Word. As referenced in the Book of Acts Chapter
17, Verse 11: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." This
enormous compliment and honor is paid to the Bereans - and I use
this reference to associate with all those people who place the
Word of God above tradition, above rumor, above fiction, above
social acceptance, above entertainment, above religious propaganda,
above political correctness, and above cultural differences. 2
Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall
search for me with all your heart. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people,
which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
A group of mostly Jewish German-speaking writers, the Prague Circle
included some of the most significant figures in modern Western
literature. Its core members, Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Franz Werfel,
Paul Kornfeld, and Egon Erwin Kisch, are renowned for their seminal
dramas, lyric poetry, novels, short stories, and essays on
aesthetics. The writers of the Prague Circle were bound together
not by a common perspective or a particular ideology, but by shared
experiences and interests. From their vantage point in the Bohemian
capital during the early decades of the twentieth century, they
witnessed first-hand the collapse of the familiar and predictable,
if not entirely comfortable, monarchical old order and the ascent
of an anxious and uncertain modern era that led inexorably to
fascism, militarization, and war. In order to deal with their new
challenges, they considered strategies as diverse and oppositional
as the members of the Prague Circle themselves. Their responses
were shaped to various degrees by Catholicism, Zionism,
expressionism, activism, anti-activism, international solidarity
with the working class, and transcendence. Stephen Shearier
explores how these authors aligned themselves on the spectrum of
the Activism Debate, which preceded the much studied Expressionist
Debate by a generation. This study examines the critical reception
of these influential literary figures to determine how their
legacies have been shaped.
In 1969, five players from a powerhouse high school soccer
program enroll at Bainbridge University, where football is
everything and soccer has only just become a varsity sport. Worse
yet, the coach has never played the game, the upcoming schedule is
a killer, and the Bainbridge team has only won two games in the
past year. Life is about to become very challenging for these
freshman used to being winners.
Andrew Paxton, a captain of the former high school soccer team,
is now sharing a dorm room with his best friend and star teammate,
Brian Barrett. But trouble soon brews when Barrett clashes with the
coach and members of the football team. Paxton, ever loyal to his
best friend, has his own share of problems. He has silently and
agonizingly carried a torch since the seventh grade for Barrett's
ex-girlfriend, who followed him to Bainbridge hoping to win him
back.
Meanwhile, the soccer team faces one hurdle after another when
Barrett threatens to quit, the team loses one of its stars to
injury, and the coach's inexperience becomes painfully obvious.
During a time when soccer was still in its infancy in the United
States, the players must try to turn around a losing college
program and, in the process, come to grips with the realities of
friendship and love.
How do you define good mental health? This controversial,
counterintuitive, and altogether fascinating book argues that
"psychological normality" is neither a desirable nor an acceptable
standard. Normality Does Not Equal Mental Health: The Need to Look
Elsewhere for Standards of Good Psychological Health is a
groundbreaking work, the first book-length study to question the
equation of psychological normality and mental health. Its author,
Dr. Steven James Bartlett, musters compelling evidence and careful
analysis to challenge the paradigm accepted by mental health
theorists and practitioners, a paradigm that is not only wrong, but
can be damaging to those to whom it is applied-and to society as a
whole. In this bold, multidisciplinary work, Bartlett critiques the
presumed standard of normality that permeates contemporary
consciousness. Showing that the current concept of mental illness
is fundamentally unacceptable because it is scientifically
unfounded and the result of flawed thinking, he argues that
adherence to the gold standard of psychological normality leads to
nothing less than cultural impoverishment. Multiple descriptive
examples of ways in which the equation of psychological normality
with good mental health leads us astray An account of the principal
contributors who have urged that psychological normality is not a
desirable or justifiable standard of good mental health A
historical account of the main psychological factors that have led
to our current failing model and practice of higher education
