Windermere Witness
Following a personal tragedy, florist Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown has moved to the beautiful region of the Lake District to be nearer her charismatic parents. Things are going well, with her latest flower arrangements praised and Simmy content to lose herself in her work. But the peace she has found is shattered when, at the wedding of a millionaire's daughter, the bride's brother is found brutally murdered in the lake. As the florist of the wedding and one of the last people to talk to Mark Baxter alive, Simmy gradually becomes involved with the grief-ridden and angry relatives. All seem to have their fair share of secrets and scandals - an uncaring mother, a cheating father, and a husband twenty-five years older than his bride. When events take another sinister turn, Simmy becomes a prime witness and finds herself at the heart of a murder investigation. The chief suspects are the groom and his closely knit band of bachelor friends. They are all intimidating, volatile and secretive - but which one is a killer?

Windjammers
White-winged schooners once dominated commerce and culture on the Great Lakes, and songs relieved the hours on board, but that way of life and its music ended when steam-driven mechanical boats swept schooners from the inland seas. Recognizing in the late 1930s, almost too late, that this rich oral tradition was going to the grave along with the last generation of schoonermen, Ivan H. Walton undertook a quest to save the songs of the Great Lakes sailors. Racing time and its ravages, he searched out ancient mariners in lakefront hospitals, hangouts, and watering holes. Walton reconstructed songs from one of the most colorful periods in American history, discovering melodies and lyrics to more than a hundred songs. With its stories, lyrics, musical scores by folksinger/historian Lee Murdock, and accompanying CD, Windjammers ensures that sailing chanteys that have not been heard for over one hundred years can be heard again and again far into the future.

Wind and Truth
The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Kielmeyer and the Organic World
Carl Friedrich Kielmeyer (1765-1844) was the ‘father of philosophy of nature’ owing to his profound influence on German Idealist and Romantic Naturphilosophie. With the recent growth of interest in Idealist and Romantic philosophy of nature in the UK and abroad, the importance of Kielmeyer’s work is being increasingly recognised and special attention is being paid to his influence on biology’s development as a distinct discipline at the end of the eighteenth century. In this exciting new book, Lydia Azadpour and Daniel Whistler present the first ever English translations of key texts by Kielmeyer, along with contextual and interpretative essays by leading international scholars, who are experts on the philosophy of nature and the formation of the life sciences in the late eighteenth century. The topics they cover include: the laws of nature, the concept of force, the meaning of ‘organism’, the logic of recapitulation, Kielmeyer and ecology, sexual differentiation in animal life and Kielmeyer’s relationship to Kant, Schelling and Hegel. In doing so, they provide a comprehensive English reference to Kielmeyer’s historical and contemporary significance.

Die Reformen Von Windesheim Und Bursfelde Im Norden
Die Kongregationen von Windesheim und Bursfelde waren die größten Klosterverbände, die im Zuge der spätmittelalterlichen Ordensreformen entstanden. Den Wirkungen dieser Reformbewegungen auf Klöster in Holstein, Lübeck und Hamburg ist die Studie gewidmet. Damit wird eine von den Zentren der Reform aus gesehen periphere Klosterlandschaft in den Blick genommen. Das Erkenntnisinteresse der Studie richtet sich dabei sowohl auf den Prozess der Reformeinführung als auch auf die innerklösterliche Umsetzung. Einerseits wird untersucht, wie sich der actus reformationis mit den daran beteiligten Handlungsträgern gestaltete. Andererseits wird der Frage nach einer Verinnerlichung der Reform anhand zweier Schriftzeugnisse, nämlich des Cismarer Nekrologs und der Bordesholmer Professurkunden, nachgegangen.

Windkonverter
Die Vorlage dieses Buches erfolgt in der Absicht, allen noch nicht mit der einschlägigen Materie vertrauten Angehörigen technisch-naturwissenschaftlicher Berufe, insbesondere auch den im Lehrbereich Tätigen und den Studierenden solcher Berufe, eine Einführung in das Gebiet der Windenergie-Konverter zu geben. Nach einer Erörterung der für eine Nutzung der Windenergie relevanten Voraussetzungen (technisch verwertbares Energiereservoir, Häufigkeitsverteilung und Höhenabhängigkeit der Windgeschwindigkeit) werden die grundlegenden physikalischen Konversionsprinzi- pien behandelt, worauf sich jeweils eine Abschätzung des maximal möglichen Wirkungs- grades anschließt. Dieser einleitenden Darstellung folgt eine Übersicht der drei klassischen Konverter-Gru ndtypen: Horizontalachsen-Auftriebskonverter, Vertikalachsen-Auftriebs- konverter und Vertikalachsen-Widerstands-Konverter. Die Ausführungen beinhalten die Berechnung von Leistungskennlinien bzw. die Abschätzung maximaler Leistungsbeiwerte ebenso wie die Besprechung von Dimensionierungskriterien und sinnvollen Einsatzbe- reichen, wobei theoretische Ergebnisse - soweit verfügbar - anhand experimentellen Materials aufgearbeitet wird. Die theoretischen Betrachtungen zum Horizontalachsen-Auftriebskonverter folgen den Arbeiten von Betz und Hütter. Im Falle des Vertikalachsen-Auftriebskonverters wird gezeigt, daß trotz des im Vergleich zum Horizontalachsen-Auftriebskonverter noch nicht ganz befriedigenden Erkenntnis- stands zumindest eine realitätsnahe Abschätzung des maximalen Leistungsbeiwertes mög- lich ist. Die früheren Rechnungen von Just werden in ihrem Ansatz durch numerische Un- tersuchungen gerechtfertig und in modifizierter Form nachvollzogen. Durch Anwendung der von Betz für das idealisierte Windrad erhaltenen Resultate auf die Strömungsverhält- nisse des Vertikalachsen-Auftriebskonverters läßt sich mithilfe eines einfachen Ansatzes das Justsche Ergebnis für den maximalen Wirkungsgrad bestätigen, welches allerdings nur für den geradflügeligen Vertikalachsen-Auftriebskonverter (sog. "H-Darrieus") Gültigkeit besitzt.

Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry
The Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry is an anthology of poems originally selected by Ted Kooser in 1980 and published by his Windflower Press, a small, independent publisher that specialized in poetry from the Great Plains. The collection contains almost two hundred poems from dozens of poets and was designed to resemble a commonplace farmer’s almanac. The Windflower Press was the sole operation of Kooser, who was later named the first U.S. poet laureate from the Great Plains. His press gained national recognition for highlighting the work of the region’s young poets, and its Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry earned notice from the Library Journal as one of its era’s best small press books.

Cape Wind
When Jim Gordon set out to build a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod, he knew some people might object. But there was a lot of merit in creating a privately funded, clean energy source for energy-starved New England, and he felt sure most people would recognize it eventually. Instead, all Hell broke loose. Gordon had unwittingly challenged the privileges of some of America's richest and most politically connected people, and they would fight him tooth and nail, no matter what it cost, and even when it made no sense. Cape Wind is a rollicking tale of democracy in action and plutocracy in the raw as played out among colourful and glamorous characters on one of our country's most historic and renowned pieces of coastline. As steeped in American history and local colour as The Prince of Providence as biting, revealing and fun as Philistines at the Hedgerow , it is also a cautionary tale about how money can hijack democracy while America lags behind the rest of the developed world in adopting clean energy.

Windfall
Not long ago, energy experts dismissed wind power as unreliable and capricious. Not anymore. The industry has arrived, and the spinning blades of this new kid on the electric power block offer hope for a partial solution to our energy problems by converting nature's energy into electricity without exposing our planet and its inhabitants to the dangers of heat, pollution, toxicity, or depletion of irreplaceable natural resources. Windfall tells the story of this extraordinary transformation and examines the arguments both for and against wind generation.In Windfall, Robert W. Righter explains how wind is transformed into energy and examines the land-use decisions that affect the establishment of new wind farms. The book also discusses the role of tax credits and other government subsidies in the creation of transmission systems between the turbines and end users in cities.Currently the world's fastest-growing source of energy, wind generation has also given rise to backlash. A critical advocate of wind energy whose career as a historian has focused on environmental controversies, Righter addresses the cultural dimensions of resistance to wind energy and makes considered predictions about the directions wind energy may take. His sympathetic treatment of opposing arguments regarding landscape change, unwanted noise, bird deaths, and human medical implications are thought-provoking, as is his recommendation that we place the lion's share of turbines on the Great Plains.Most books on wind energy are technical manuals. Righter's book does not shy away from scientific explanations, but he does not write for engineers. His broad, historically informed vision will appeal to policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels and to anyone interested in a technology increasingly significant to supplying America's energy needs.
