Free Download Global Tsunami Science: Past and Future, Volume I By Eric L Geist, Hermann M. Fritz, Alexander B. Rabinovich, Yuichiro Tanioka
English | PDF | 2017 | 545 Pages | ISBN : 3319554794 | 125.10 MB
Tsunami science has evolved significantly since the occurrence of two of the most destructive natural disasters in recent times: the 26 December 2004 Sumatra tsunami that killed about 230,000 people along the coasts of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean and the 11 March 2011 Tohoku (Great East Japan) tsunami that killed almost 20,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. As a result of these and many other destructive tsunamis that have occurred over just the last decade, scientists from around the world have come together to engage in tsunami research. The global community of researchers has also expanded by discipline, adapting advances in other sciences to study all aspects of tsunami hydrodynamics, detection, generation, and probability of occurrence. The papers presented in this first of two topical volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time. Nine papers examine various aspects of tsunami hazard and risk assessment. Five papers present new methods for tsunami warning and detection and six other papers describe new methods for understanding tsunami hydrodynamics. The final five papers of the volume describe tsunamis generated by non-seismic sources and important case studies. Collectively, this volume highlights contemporary trends in global tsunami science, both fundamental and applied toward hazard assessment and mitigation. The volume is of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from source processes to coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering - as well as students in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering - will also find the book to be a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation.

Free Download J. Bradford Jensen, "Global Trade in Services: Fear, Facts, and Offshoring"
English | ISBN: 0881326011 | 2011 | 256 pages | PDF | 1432 KB
The service sector is large and growing. Additionally, international trade in services is growing rapidly. Yet there is a dearth of empirical research on the size, scope and potential impact of services trade. The underlying source of this gap is well-known―official statistics on the service sector in general, and trade in services in particular, lack the level of detail available for the manufacturing sector in many dimensions. Because services are such a large and important component of the US economy, understanding the implications of increased trade in services is crucial to the trade liberalization agenda going forward. In this path-breaking book, J. Bradford Jensen conducts primary research using a range of data sources to produce the most detailed and robust portrait available on the size, scope, and potential impact of trade in services on the US economy.

Free Download Philip Brownell, "Global Perspectives on Research, Theory, and Practice: A Decade of Gestalt!"
English | ISBN: 144387079X | 2015 | 555 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In 1996, the internet was breaking out of its shell, and the first electronic journal for gestalt therapy appeared as a hybrid of the text-based discussion group Gstalt-L and the graphically rich, web-based journal itself. Both emerged supported by a community of people-helping groups at St. John's University. That journal was titled Gestalt!, and its vision was to stimulate a global discussion of gestalt therapy using the electronic medium that has now become so common and essential. It did just that, and the contents of the journal included some of the richest thinking about gestalt therapy theory and practice that emerged in the lead-up to the 21st century. Gestalt! was free. It was quick. Those working with the journal were more interested in substance than style. It was relevant, and it was fun. There are errors in form, because the editors have maintained many in order to provide a realistic feel for what the journal was like. Although it no longer exists, this book reclaims the journal's great historical value and still-significant ideas.
