Sinossi

"Giant Waves" explores the science behind rogue waves, those unexpectedly massive ocean waves once dismissed as maritime myths. It investigates how these waves form, the significant dangers they pose to maritime safety and infrastructure, and the technological advancements used to detect and predict them. The book reveals that rogue waves, often several times larger than surrounding waves, can appear suddenly and with immense force, posing a significant threat to ships and offshore structures.

 
The book examines historical accounts and survivor stories alongside scientific data, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach encompassing oceanography, meteorology, and engineering to understand these extreme events. It highlights how increased global shipping and offshore energy exploration amplify the urgency of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with rogue waves. For example, the book discusses how constructive interference, wave-current interaction, and nonlinear effects can contribute to the formation of these ocean giants.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with basic ocean wave theory and moving through mechanisms of rogue wave formation, case studies, and current research efforts involving satellite altimetry and buoy networks. It concludes with practical steps to improve maritime safety and infrastructure resilience, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, maritime professionals, and anyone interested in the science of extreme ocean events.

Indoor plants have never been so important as we realise the power of their presence in making us feel calmer and more connected to nature. But dying plants around the house are negatives you could do without!
This unique guide from an indoor plant expert explains what plants you should keep in each room, and whereabouts. It contains:
• Easy-to-understand but horticulturally accurate information on what affects plants in each room – light, humidity and temperature.
• What typically makes each room different, which plants best suit which room, and how to care for them so that you and the plant are happy. 
• Working with individual microclimates within that room – for example, a plant that might work on a coffee table in the middle of a room might not work on a bookshelf next to a window.
• Invaluable information on how to arrange the plants to make stunning arrangements for your home interior. 
The first half of the book focuses on the five key rooms in any home, with ideas for the reader who wants to green up specific rooms, while the second half is a comprehensive directory of house plants. Each entry has information on light level requirements and tolerance, detailed information on care and colour inspiration for styling the plant. Each plant is also rated by difficulty. 
This is the most practical guide to building an indoor garden, room by room, to ensure happy plants, a happy home and happy humans.

Thai History - Facts and...

Kelly Mass

Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be the following: 
The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.
