Emeis, Stefan: Surface-Based Remote Sensing of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library 40, SPRINGER NETHERLANDS, 090 ISBN: 9048193397
The book presents a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) research. It focuses on experimental ABL research, while most of the books on ABL discuss it from a theoretical or fluid dynamics point of view.Experimental ABL research has been made so far by surface-based in-situ experimentation (tower measurements up to a few hundred meters, surface energy balance measurements, short aircraft experiments, short experiments with tethered balloons, constant-level balloons, evaluation of radiosonde data). Surface flux measurements are also discussed in the book. Although the surface fluxes are one of the main driving factors for the daily variation of the ABL, an ABL description is only complete if its vertical structure is analyzed and determined. Satellite information is available covering large areas, but it has only limited temporal resolution and lacks sufficient vertical resolution. Therefore, surface-based remote sensing is a large challenge to enlarge the database for ABL studies, as it offers nearly continuous and vertically highly resolved information for specific sites of interest. Considerable progress has been made in the recent years in studying of ground-based remote sensing of the ABL. The book discusses such new subjects as micro-rain radars and the use of ceilometers for ABL profiling, modern small wind lidars for wind energy applications, ABL flux profile measurements, RASS techniques, and mixing-layer height determination.

Radhakrishnan Venkatachalam, Ramkumar: Specialized Vs Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft Performance and Functional Agility Metric comparison in the Conceptual Design Phase, VDM VERLAG DR. MÜLLER, April 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3639251423
Conceptual Design of a Ground Attack and Air Superiority Fighter Aircraft is designed after arriving at typical mission profiles of those aircraft with some required point performance metrics. Similarly based on a compromise, the point performance metrics and mission profile of a multi-role fighter aircraft is arrived and a conceptual design is done. From the design and evaluation of the drag polar, thrust-to-weight ratio and wing loading, the performance measures are compared for all these aircraft. Functional agility metrics are also compared. The details of the comparison is also explained in plain and simple language.

Anthony, Evelyn: The Tamarind Seed. A Novel. New York Coward McCann & Geoghegan, Inc, 1971.
Guter Zustand. Schutzumschlag mit Randläsuren. Made into a movie (1974) starring Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif, it is the story of a a British civil servant who finds herself falling in love with a Russian agent during a Caribbean holiday. - Evelyn Anthony (born 3 July 1928, London) is the pen name of Evelyn Ward Thomas, a British female writer. Life and work: In her youth during the Second World War she was educated largely at home, rather than at school. While she was evacuated to the West Country, Henry Christian Stephens, her father re-entered the Royal Navy to develop his Dome Trainer, one of the first inventions to cover anti aircraft gunnery training. She started writing in 1949, following her marriage. Her pen name comes from Evelyn as a man's profile, as women were often not published during the years after the Second World War, and Saint Anthony, the Catholic patron of Lost Causes. First writing short stories for periodicals, she gained fame and success with her well-researched historical novels, being especially noted for her original treatment of Anne Boleyn - a historical character dealt with by numerous other writers. Two of them became US Literary Guild Choices. Her historical novels "Far Flies The Eagle" and "Valentina" were both set during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. The later novels had a theme of espionage. [1][2] Later, Anthony switched to writing contemporary thrillers and spy novels, featuring strong female leads such as Davina Graham (Head of British spy services) with well-developed characterisation of protagonists and twist endings, which her readers came to expect. Her 1971 The Tamarind Seed was adapted for film in 1974, starring Julie Andrews as Judith Farrow, a British Home Office functionary and Omar Sharif as Feodor, a Soviet air attache- lovers involved in Cold War intrigue. [3] She adapted well to the end of the Cold War and continued writing thrillers set in the post-1990 reality. Her books were translated into no fewer than nineteen languages and frequently compared to the writings of Ted Allbeury, Colin Forbes and Clare Francis. Family: She was married to Michael Ward-Thomas, former director of a mining company, who died in 2004. They had six children - four sons and two daughters. A daughter, Kitty, died in 1995. There are fourteen grandchildren spread around the globe, the latest in Australia in early 2008. She lives in a sixteenth-century manor in Essex, Horham Hall. Earlier, they lived in Kildare in Ireland. Her hobbies are reported to be her dogs, socialising, gardening and listening to classical music. Born and brought up before the wearing of fur became controversial, Evelyn Anthony is fond of wearing a huge red fox fur hat, a present which her husband obtained during a business trip in Russia.

Robert Peczkowski: Republic P-47 Thunderbolt Bubbletop, Mushroom Model Publications, März 2011
The book covers the technical history of the late production P-47 Thunderbolts, with the bubbletop canopy. From the P-47D-25-RE through to the final P-47N, the changes in the various production series are described and illustrated, with 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale line drawings and many photos. There are about 30 black and white wartime photos, including walk around photos of P-47s in 10 different museums around the world and shots of restored planes in private hands still flown today. At the rear of the book are color illustrations of P-47s in profile (23) and 12 two-views (showing wing tops and fuselage sides). These show the markings of almost every air force that ever flew the P-47D and N: Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Iran, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Portugal, Taiwan, Turkey, USSR, USA, Venezuela and Yugoslavia.
