Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell Pdf

New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

Black Wind, White Snow by Charles Clover Pdf

A fascinating study of the root motivations behind the political activities and philosophies of Putin’s government in Russia “Part intellectual history, part portrait gallery . . . Black Wind, White Snow traces the background to Putin’s ideas with verve and clarity.”—Geoffrey Hosking, Financial Times “Required reading. This is a vivid, panoramic history of bad ideas, chasing the metastasis of the doctrine known as Eurasianism. . . . Reading Charles Clover will help you understand the world of lies and delusions that is Eurasia.”—Ben Judah, Standpoint Charles Clover, award-winning journalist and former Moscow bureau chief for the Financial Times, here analyzes the idea of "Eurasianism," a theory of Russian national identity based on ethnicity and geography. Clover traces Eurasianism’s origins in the writings of white Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia’s Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite around Vladimir Putin. This eye-opening analysis pieces together the evidence for Eurasianism’s place at the heart of Kremlin thinking today and explores its impact on recent events, the annexation of Crimea, and the rise in Russia of anti-Western paranoia and imperialist rhetoric, as well as Putin’s sometimes perplexing political actions and ambitions. Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin’s close advisers, this quietly explosive story will be essential reading for anyone concerned with Russia’s past century, and its future.

Reliability analysis of a large curved-roof structure considering wind and snow coupled effects by Yongbo Peng,Weijie Zhao,Jian Zhou Pdf

Ensuring the safety of large curved-roof structures subjected to blizzards in cold regions remains challenging. This paper assesses the reliability of a large curved-roof structure considering the coupled effects of wind and snow. To this end, a two-way coupled simulation considering the interaction between snow particles and turbulent wind is first carried out using a computational fluid dynamics scheme and a spectral representation method based on the wavenumber-frequency joint power spectrum and stochastic harmonic function; thereby, the uneven snow distribution and stochastic wind field on a large curved roof are revealed. The probability density evolution method is then adopted to conduct a stochastic response and reliability analysis of the structure. The simulation results reveal that a credible uneven distribution of snow on the large curved roof can be obtained using the suggested snowdrift simulation scheme, and the refined spectral representation method can efficiently and accurately simulate the two-dimensional fluctuating wind field of the large curved-roof structure. It is shown that under stochastic wind, snow and self-weight loads for a 100-year return period, the large curved-roof structure has a higher risk of member yielding than of node deflection. Meanwhile, the axial stress acting on the structural member is far less than the maximum allowable stress and the structure is thus deemed to be sufficiently safe.

Black Wind, White Snow by Charles Clover Pdf

A fascinating study of the motivations behind the political activities and philosophies of Putin's government in Russia "Part intellectual history, part portrait gallery . . . Black Wind, White Snow traces the background to Putin's ideas with verve and clarity."--Geoffrey Hosking, Financial Times "Required reading. This is a vivid, panoramic history of bad ideas, chasing the metastasis of the doctrine known as Eurasianism. . . . Reading Charles Clover will help you understand the world of lies and delusions that is Eurasia."--Ben Judah, Standpoint A powerful strain of Russian nationalism now lies at the heart of the Kremlin's political thinking: "Eurasianism". But how did this dangerous ideology, once a fringe theory, come to dominate Moscow's elite? Promoted most notably in recent years by Alexander Dugin, this theory has become the driving force behind the invasion of Ukraine and the perplexing manoeuvrings of Putin's Russia. In this fascinating investigation, Charles Clover, an award-winning journalist, traces Eurasianism's origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia's Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite. Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin's close advisers, this eye-opening account is essential reading to understand Russia's past century - and the dangers of our present political moment.

Snow Wind and Ice by Janet K. Jurecic Pdf

The story is a short one, written by the inspiration of God. At times interspersed with jokes and biblical wisdom. It focuses on a journey of sorts while being in the US Navy and life after service. I wanted to write down my thoughts and feelings; I just could not keep them to myself. And I hope the reader enjoys the book as much as I enjoyed researching and putting into words what I was feeling.

Song of the North Wind by Paul A. Johnsgard Pdf

For centuries the snow goose has signified the passing seasons to the Indians?its white feathers a symbol of the breadth of life and a reminder of the roles the birds played as messengers between heaven and earth. The importance of the geese in these roles is attested by their prominence in Indian lore and myth. ø As a boy growing up in North Dakota, Paul A. Johnsgard measured his winters not by conventional time units, but in the days it took for the snow geese to return from their wintering grounds to Lake Traverse. In this book he recounts the story of one year in the life of a pair of snow geese-the incubation and breeding of the young in the Arctic, their hazardous migration to winter quarters near the Gulf of Mexico, and the spring migration back to the Arctic.
