A Time in the Sun by Jane Barry Pdf

A major novel of the Indian wars in the far West, told from both points of view—the Apache’s and the white man’s. Anna Stillman was on her way to Tucson to marry Lieutenant Linus Degnan, the son of the commandant of the U.S. fort there, when she was captured by an Apache raiding party. It was 1870, and the Apaches were making a fierce last stand against the white men who were driving them from their land. The Degnans, father and son, soon realized that any attempt to rescue Anna by force would endanger her life, and so they sent Shafter, an ex-Confederate whom the Indians trusted, to try to ransom her. Victorio, leader of the Mimbreños tribe, willingly set a price for the release of the Mexican girl who had been Anna’s traveling companion, but was unwilling to ransom Anna. Greatly disturbed by the Mexican girl’s report that Anna was living with an Apache brave, Linus and his father made every effort to get her back, only to discover that she no longer wanted to be rescued. Jane Barry develops her characters in depth—Anna, who could not avoid hurting the man she had always intended to marry; Joaquin, who had cast his lot with the Apaches when he found that he was not accepted in the white man’s world; Linus, whose struggle to save Anna made a man of him; and Shafter, who tried to be a friend to both Joaquin and Linus. Most of the Apache chiefs and some of the Americans who figure in the book are historical personages. Mrs. Barry’s thorough research has enabled her to bring the Apache civilization to life in vivid detail. A TIME IN THE SUN is a powerful novel about the conflicts experienced by people at odds with one another caught between two ways of life.

An Introduction To Solar Radiation by Muhammad Iqbal Pdf

An Introduction to Solar Radiation is an introductory text on solar radiation, with emphasis on the methods of calculation for determining the amount of solar radiation incident on a surface on the earth. Topics covered include the astronomical relationship between the sun and the earth; thermal radiation; the solar constant and its spectral distribution; and extraterrestrial solar irradiation. This book is comprised of 12 chapters and begins with an overview of the trigonometric relationships between the sun-earth line and the position of an inclined surface, followed by a discussion on the characteristics of blackbody radiation. The next chapter focuses on the solar constant and its spectral distribution, paying particular attention to extraterrestrial solar spectral irradiance and the sun's blackbody temperature. Subsequent chapters explore extraterrestrial and radiation incident on inclined planes; the optics of a cloudless-sky atmosphere; solar spectral radiation and total (broadband) radiation under cloudless skies; and solar radiation arriving at horizontal surfaces on the earth through cloudy skies. The ground albedo and its spectral and angular variation are also described, along with insolation on inclined surfaces. The last chapter is devoted to instruments for measuring solar radiation, including pyrheliometers and pyranometers. This monograph will serve as a useful guide for energy analysts, designers of thermal devices, architects and engineers, agronomists, and hydrologists as well as senior graduate students.

A Time in the Sun by James E. Crowder Pdf

Patten, bleeding and disoriented, is deposited at the ER by police, who saw him driving erratically and running stop signs. The sight of blood didn't bother him before, but now he sees an ER patient cut across the face with a chainsaw bleeding profusely, and he runs retching to the men's room. What's wrong? Why has the flight instructor at Gulf Shores Aviation started falling apart? Sure, a death anniversary is approaching. Yet there were worsening problems before, for the last few years. He seeks help. He begins to understand his troubling dreams. But then he is overwhelmed by a strong and alarming attraction to Carley--a beautiful, albeit (unhappily) married, flight student with problems of her own that she entered flight training to solve--that seriously challenges his withdrawal into the heretofore safe but empty and sterile fortress now collapsing around him. Will heA[a¬A]can heA[a¬A]will sheA[a¬A]can sheA[a¬A]find a time in the sun?
