Hurricane Agnes in the Wyoming Valley by Bryan Glahn Pdf
Although history records the hurricane that struck northeastern Pennsylvania in June 1972 as "Agnes," residents of the Wyoming Valley affected by the storm and the resulting damage simply refer to it as "the flood." As the Susquehanna River rose to over 40 feet and left her banks, citizens could do nothing but watch as their lives were forever changed. A raging torrent unearthed dozens of previously resting bodies in the Forty Fort Cemetery, houses were knocked off their foundations or swept away entirely, and citizens took to their boats to rescue those who did not heed the warnings of the sirens that wailed when the waters began to surge through the city streets. And yet, amidst the drama, a wedding--scheduled long before the storm--proceeded, though not quite as envisioned by the bride and groom.

The Environment as Hazard by Ian Burton Pdf
The Environment as Hazard offers an understanding of how people around the world deal with dramatic fluctuations in the local natural systems of air, water, and terrain. Reviewing recent theoretical and methodological changes in the investigation of natural hazards, the authors describe how research findings are being incorporated into public policy, particularly research on slow cumulative events, technological hazards, the role played by social systems, and the relation of hazards theory to risk analysis. Through vivid examples from a broad sample of countries, this volume illuminates the range of experiences associated with natural hazards. The authors show how modes of coping change with levels of economic development by contrasting hazards in developing countries with those in high income countries - comparing the results of hurricanes in Bangladesh and the United States, and earthquakes in Nicaragua and California. In new introductory and concluding chapters that supplement the original text, the authors present new global data sets, as well as a trenchant discussion of implications of hazards research for the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction and for attempts by the world community to come to grips with the threats of climate change.

Cigars and Other Passions by Hochstein Peter Hochstein,Peter Hochstein Pdf
NOT YOUR EVERYDAY CIGAR MOGUL For more than 60 years, Edgar Cullman was king of the cigar business. Whether it was top-of-the-line cigars like Macanudo and Punch or mass market products like White Owls, Tiparillos and Tijuana Smalls, Edgar influenced what people were puffing, the cigar jingles they were humming, where the cigars came from and how they were made. But Edgar also was - and at the age of 92 still is - more than just a cigar man. He built his career on a smorgasbord of businesses, among them plastics, packaging, potato chips, real estate and the world's bestknown laxative - all the while dealing, bantering and playing with an array of unforgettable characters. You'll learn about his father's whacky hobbies, the uncle who produced nearly all of a generation's best Broadway shows, a "terrifying" prep school headmaster, a Nazi secret agent, a daring pilot who escaped Nazi-occupied Holland and became Edgar's friend, and wise-cracking investment bankers and fellow philanthropists who express their camaraderie by taking one another down a notch. There's also a great love story here - Edgar's courtship and romance with Louise Bloomingdale that began in the 1930s and still goes strong today. CIGARS AND OTHER PASSIONS is about cementing relationships, building wealth, giving back to society and nurturing a marriage and family for more than 70 years, all the while having marvelous fun. "Cigars are my passion and Yale football is a close second!" - Edgar Cullman

Thinking Physics for Teaching by C. Bernardini,C. Tarsitani,M. Vicentini Pdf
The research in Physics Education has to do with the search of solutions to the complex problem of how to improve the learning and teaching of physics. The complexity of the problem lies in the different fields of knowledge that need to be considered in the research. In fact, besides the disciplinary knowledge in physics (which must be considered from the conceptual, the historical, and the epistemological framework), one has to take into account some basic knowledge in the context of psychology and the cognitive sciences (for the general and contextual aspects of learning) and some basic knowledge in education and comunication (for what concerns teaching skills and strategies). Looking back at the historical development of the research one may recognize that the complexity of the endeavour was not clear at first but became clear in its development, which shifted the focus of the research in the course of time from physics to learning to teaching. We may say that the research started, more than 30 years ago, with a focus on disciplinary knowledge. Physicists in different parts of the western world, after research work in some field of physics, decided to concentrate on the didactical comunication of physical knowledge.
