Fluid dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of the atmosphere and oceans. Although many of the same principles of fluid dynamics apply to both the atmosphere and oceans, textbooks on the topic have tended to concentrate on either the atmosphere or the ocean, or on the theory of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). However, there is much to be said for a unified discussion, and this major new textbook provides a comprehensive, coherent treatment of all these topics. It is based on course notes that the author has developed over a number of years at Princeton and the University of California. Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics will prove to be an invaluable graduate textbook on courses in GFD, meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography, and will also be an excellent review volume for researchers.

"Ocean's Eleven" er en heist-film fra 2001, instrueret af Steven Soderbergh. Filmen følger Danny Ocean, en karismatisk kriminel, der lige er blevet løsladt fra fængslet. Han samler et hold af ti dygtige svindlere og kriminelle for at gennemføre det, der synes umuligt: at røve tre af Las Vegas' største kasinoer - Bellagio, Mirage og MGM Grand - på samme tid. Planen bliver kompliceret, da Oceans ekskone Tess nu er sammen med Terry Benedict, ejeren af kasinoerne. Filmen er fyldt med snedige plot twists, smart dialog og underholdende karakterinteraktioner. Medvirkende: George Clooney som Danny Ocean Brad Pitt som Rusty Ryan Matt Damon som Linus Caldwell Andy Garcia som Terry Benedict Julia Roberts som Tess Ocean Bernie Mac som Frank Catton
Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly Titel: The ship of the d

Groundbreaking new discovery As detailed in "The Economist "and recent headline news, Gavin Menzies (author of 1421: The Year China Discovered The World) has recently uncovered a copy of an 18th century map which definitively records the exploits of a Chinese explorer whose fleets roamed the oceans between 1405 and 1435. The map shows America, South America and other parts of the globe that were supposed to have been discovered decades later by Christopher Columbus. It is the final piece of evidence to underpin Gavin's theory put forward in 1421: The Year China Discovered The World. In 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen sailed from its base in China. The ships, huge junks nearly 500 feet long and built from the finest teak, were under the command of Emperor Zhu Di's loyal eunuch admirals. Their mission was to proceed all the way to the end of the earth to collect tribute fro
