Only Frederick Forsyth, acknowledged master of international intrigue and suspense, could have created the one story about the Persian Gulf War that could never be revealed - until now. From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetings of Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running their dangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heart of Baghdad, Forsyth's in...

In this classic Depression-era Texas novel, three wayfaring comrades ask for no pity as they travel the country looking for signs from the "Higher Powers" - and for whiskey and women. As Eddie, the narrator, muses "the Higher Powers had meant us to live like wild free studhorses roaming the face of the earth and gladdening whatever hearts we run across". Finding their way to a camp under a Brazos River bridge, Eddie, Mike and Jimmy survive on ...

This volume presents an overview of recent developments in the thermal management of electronic systems. This is increasingly recognized as an important factor in current design methodology. The topics covered include thermal management in general, thermally induced failure, numerical and experimental analysis of systems at various packaging levels, channels and electronic components, measurement techniques, liquid cooling, thermal characteriz...

The book provides an updated coverage of key topics involved in integrated resource planning (IRP), also called least-cost planning. IRP in comparison with conventional power can provide the same energy services at a lower societal cost and with reduced environmental impacts. The history and basics of IRP is presented. The link between IRP and the environment is characterized in terms of impacts and cost-effectiveness. The book also features d...

Helicobacter pylori has attracted widening interest from basic scientists and clinical investigators and the information on this organism is increasing exponentially. It is now accepted that H. Pylori is the most important cause of chronic active gastritis. Furthermore, data have confirmed a marked reduction in the relapse rate of both duodenal and gastric ulcer after eradication of the organism. These important clinical observations have serv...

Only a few laboratories in the world have taken the bold step to attempt the integration of sub-models of the climate system, the global biogeochemical cycles and the human/societal components. This volume reports such a major undertaking and it is an important step towards an integrated approach to global change science. The IMAGE 2 model is important in demonstrating our current ability to model the complex global system.

The Earth's magnetosphere is part of our environment, and physical processes in the magnetosphere and coupling between the solar energy stream, the solar wind, and the magnetosphere are important to our understanding of our environment. Variations in the electromagnetic and particle energy output of the Sun have a significant effect on global changes. The energy transfer mechanisms at the dayside magnetospheric boundary layers and their ionosp...
