Fundamentals of Unsteady Turbulent Flows with Python Coding is designed as a text for advanced turbulence students who need to build on their elementary knowledge to develop a deeper understanding of turbulence applications in the real-world, including unsteady turbulent flows, buoyancy-driven atmospheric plumes, and oceanic density currents. After an introductory chapter that connects key mathematical equations with the physical concepts of turbulence, subsequent chapters explain how buoyant turbulent flows apply to a variety of natural systems such as unsteady turbulent flows, atmospheric plumes, and oceanic density currents. Concepts of rough walls, buoyancy effects, and statistically non-stationary flows are also covered. Fundamentals of Unsteady Turbulent Flows with Python Coding serves as a single-source toolkit that provides turbulence theory, data drawn from real-world examples, plus access to Python code modules that readers can use to practice interpreting the data. End of chapter problems help to further reinforce the concepts covered.
Edward Hopper's world-famous paintings articulate an idiosyncratic view of modern life. With his impressive subjects, independent pictorial vocabulary, and virtuoso play of colors, Hopper continues to influence to this day the image of the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. He began his career as an illustrator and became famous around the globe for his oil paintings. They testify to his great interest in the effects of color and his mastery in depicting light and shadow. The Fondation Beyeler is devoting its large exhibition in the spring of 2020 to Hopper's iconic images of the vast American landscape. The catalogue gathers together all of the paintings, watercolors, and drawings from the 1910s to the 1960s on display in the exhibition, and supplements them with essays focused on the subject of depicting landscape. EDWARD HOPPER (1882-1967) is the master of American Realism. His paintings captured life during his era. His method of painting rapidly became the stylistic foundation of a type of American modernism. A source of inspiration for countless painters, photographers, and filmmakers, his body of work continues to be influential to this very day. EXHIBITION Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel January 26-July 26, 2020

The radical novelty of modern society consists of the global autonomy and dynamics of communication systems such as the economy, polity, science, law, health, the arts, sport, and intimacy. They are at the core of our living environment. With this systematic study of functional differentiation in sociology, Rudolf Stichweh fills an astonishing gap in sociological research. To do so, he combines essays and case studies instructive for both practicing social scientists and the general public interested in a sociological understanding of modernity.
The exploitation of labour is one of the most widespread forms of so-called "modern slavery" and, therefore, there is a need for an in-depth analysis in order to aid the development of a successful counter-strategy. >With regard to specific nations, the book focuses on Italy, France, Spain and the UK, with an analysis of how supranational obligations to criminalize certain activities have been implemented, as well as including an evaluation of the adequacy of the incriminating provisions that have been adopted at national level in order to effectively combat the complex phenomenon of modern slavery.

Nine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of UNDERWHELEM. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Ira's sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lamb's eyeball who is Ira-Abel's guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, children's songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world.Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of UNDERWHELEM month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poem-sequence of light and shadow - suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love - carried by Ira's personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears 'The Word': Love Me Tender.Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet - whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.
We know what it's like to worry from time to time, but for some of us, our worrying can take over and have a serious impact on our lives. When our anxiety gets out of hand and starts to dominate our lives, affecting how we function and our general sense of wellbeing, it's time to do something about it. This accessible self-help guide provides the reader with a clear understanding of how problem anxiety develops, the kinds of problems it's causing them and sets out ground-breaking Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) techniques to overcome their anxiety. CFT was initially developed by Professor Paul Gilbert OBE, author of the bestselling The Compassionate Mind, to treat those with high levels of shame and self-criticism. It uses the proven, research-based techniques of CBT and other therapies with a special focus on the importance of developing inner compassion, in order to alleviate feelings of shame, develop a more balanced outlook and promote resilience. It incorporates elements of mindfulness and Tibetan Buddhism with recent research on human development and studies of the brain. It is increasingly used to treat a wide range of emotional and psychological problems including depression, overeating, shyness, trauma, anxiety and anger.
