Environmental Physics by Egbert Boeker, ISBN 0471997803
Environmental Physics, Second Edition presents a broad discussion of the physics which is used to analyse, prevent or reduce environmental problems. Both experimental and theoretical techniques are covered, including environmental spectroscopy, the generation of energy for human use, the transport of pollutants and the study of noise. Importantly, the final chapter places these issues firmly in the context of human society. New features: excursions on special topics such as the Grtzel solar cell, co-generation of heat and power, chaos, self-organized criticalitygreater emphasis on the interpretation of spectramore student exercises and more information to help the reader solve thema manual with worked-out exercises is available for instructors.Environmental Physics, Second Edition is a highly topical and timely textbook which will be invaluable to all students of environmental physics or environmental science, at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Environmental scientists who need to know how physical methods can be used to help their work, will also find this book extremely useful. The front cover shows an example of atmospheric monitoring by satellite. The data visualize the total ozone concentration from ground level upwards measured by the GOME equipment of the European Space Agency, on 7 October 1995 and prepared by Ankie Piters.

American Dream Cars: Over 60 Years of Concept Vehicles by Mitchel J. Frumkin, ISBN 0873494911
Factory-built concept cars are created to tantalize the public, and the response engendered provides direction for development of future models. More than 650 different dream cars are featured--more than has ever been showcased before--from the significant to the obscure. Rarely seen photographs of vehicles such as the Thunderbird Saturn, Olds El Torero, and Dodge Firearrow grace the pages, often with two or more views of each entry. Chronologically organized, this new reference offers a visual history of the wonderful and sometimes wacky experimental machines, starting with the Buick Y-Job dream car of the 1930s up to the 2002 fuel-cell-propelled concept cars and light-duty trucks.

The Blight Way: A Sheriff Bo Tully Mystery
Bo Tully is the sheriff of Blight County, Idaho, a place where "law enforcement" is mostly picking up country boys who've downed a few too many beers. But he gets a call for a different kind of pick-up: an ex-con phones with the news that there's a corpse draped over his fence. Soon Tully's caught up in a mess, with dead L.A. drug dealers turning up and local folks disappearing. When bullets start flying, Tully has to brush off his sheriff's hat and do some real investigating -- fast.

Inside the Mind of God: Images and Words of Inner Space by Michael Reagan, ISBN 1890151971
Exhilarating photographs and inspiring words take us on a microscopic tour of a miraculous phenomenon -- the human body -- leading to a sense that our existence is no accident. This photographic journey into inner space utilizes microscopic imagery to document the beautiful and mysterious realm of the tiniest components of human life -- brain waves, nerve endings, cell structures, acid crystals -- revealing a symmetry, a perfection, and, ultimately, a revelation.
Illuminating quotes from the finest literary and scientific minds -- Pasteur, Tolstoy, Einstein, St. Augustine, Thoreau, Darwin, just to name a few -- support the idea that science may prove to be a path to God and that the human brain itself, through what researchers are now calling its "spirituality circuit, " is wired to lead us to that path.
With an introduction by Wall Street Journal science editor Sharon Begley, Inside the Mind of God promises to provide further insight into the abiding question: why is there something,...
