"Wendy Wax, author of "Ten Beach Road," ""returns with a novel of three women in need of a second chance . . . or is it a third?"
When unlikely friends Madeline, Avery, and Nicole arrive in Miami's South Beach neighborhood, they're hoping for a do-over. Literally. They've been hired to bring a [...]

The past one hundred years of ocean science have been distinguished by dramatic milestones, remarkable discoveries, and major revelations. This book is a clear and lively survey of many of these amazing findings. Beginning with a brief review of the elements that define what the ocean is and how it [...]

An innovative remapping of empire, "Imperial Connections" offers a broad-ranging view of the workings of the British Empire in the period when the India of the Raj stood at the center of a newly globalized system of trade, investment, and migration.

Steinberg presents a history of the uses, regulations and representation of the world-ocean, from approximately 1450 through the present. This history is told through a ?territorial political economy? lens, borrowing from world-systems theory, economic-geographic studies of the spatiality of capital[...]

This book describes the stochastic method for ocean wave analysis. This method provides a route to predicting the characteristics of random ocean waves - information vital for the design and safe operation of ships and ocean structures. Assuming a basic knowledge of probability theory, the book begi[...]

Addresses both fundamental and applied aspects of ocean waves including the use of wave observations made from satellites. More specifically it describes the WAM model, its scientific basis, its actual implementation, and its many applications. This model has been developed by an international group[...]

The world?s oceans act as a reservoir, with the capacity to absorb and retain carbon dioxide. The air-sea exchange of carbon is driven by physico-chemical forces, photosynthesis and respiration, and has an important influence on atmospheric composition. Variability in the ocean carbon cycle could th[...]
