Physics of Sailing

Physics of Sailing

Breaking down the complicated concepts of speed acceleration torque fluid mechanics and surface physics Physics of Sailing provides a lively easily accessible introduction to the basic science underlying the sport of sailing. It illustrates the many ways physics can be used to understand the principles of sailboat propulsion and how a scientific understanding of the boat wind and water can lead to more skillful sailing. After a brief but insightful tour of the history of sailing the book explores the physics involved in making faster sailing crafts for both upwind and downwind sailing including Newton‘s impact theory of fluid resistance and lift and drag phenomena. It compares possible sail shapes presents measurements of hull smoothness and describes wind turbulence the nature of water waves and the structure of wakes. Using the physics of optics the author also explains the connection between water‘s appearance and the wind. Along with a glossary of sailing terms he includes many examples throughout to illustrate the concepts in practice.

Biology of Fishes

Biology of Fishes

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates with around 20 000 known species and they display a remarkable diversity of size shape internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea. Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish biology but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water especially body fluid regulation locomotion feeding mechanisms and sensory systems. Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on the immune system has been added. This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of the branches of aquatic biology. Given its skilful combination of breadth and detail the book also provides a manageable review of fish biology for experienced biologists.

The Routledge Handbook of Methodologies in Human Geography

The Routledge Handbook of Methodologies in Human Geography

The Routledge Handbook of Methodologies in Human Geography is the defining reference for academics and postgraduate students seeking an advanced understanding of the debates methodological developments and methods transforming research in human geography. Divided into three sections Part I reviews how the methods of contemporary human geography reflect the changing intellectual history of human geography and events both within human geography and society in general. In Part II authors critically appraise key methodological and theoretical challenges and opportunities that are shaping contemporary research in various parts of human geography. Contemporary directions within the discipline are elaborated on by established and emerging researchers who are leading ontological debates and the adoption of innovative methods in geographic research. In Part III authors explore cross-cutting methodological challenges and prompt questions about the values and goals underpinning geographical research work such as: Who are we engaging in our research? Who is our research ‘for’? What are our relationships with communities? Contributors emphasize examples from their research and the research of others to reflect the fluid emotional and pragmatic realities of research. This handbook captures key methodological developments and disciplinary influences emerging from the various sub-disciplines of human geography.

Handbook of Public Administration

Handbook of Public Administration

Public administration as a field of study finds itself in the middle of a fluid environment. The very reach and complexity of public administration has been easy to take for granted easy to attack and difficult to explain particularly in the soundbite and Twitter-snipe media environment. Not only has the context for the discipline changed but the institutions of public administration have adapted and innovated to deliver services to the public and serve those in power while becoming increasingly complex themselves. Has public administration evolved? And what new lines of research are critical for effective policy and delivery of programs and public services while preserving foundational principles such as the rule of law and expert institutions? This Handbook of Public Administration sheds light for new researchers doctoral students scholars and practitioners interested in probing modern public administration’s role in solving major challenges facing nations and the world. This fourth edition recognizes that the scholarship of public administration must reflect the diverse influence of an international orientation embracing public administration issues and practices in governance systems around the world and illustrating just how practice can vary across jurisdictions. Every section identifies foundational principles and issues shows variation in practice across selected jurisdictions and identifies promising avenues for research. Each chapter revisits enduring themes and tensions showing how they persist along with new challenges and opportunities presented by digital technology and contemporary political realities. The Handbook of Public Administration Fourth Edition provides a compelling introduction to and depiction of the contemporary realities of public administration and it will inspire new avenues of inquiry for the next generation of public administration researchers.
