Photographer Mark Adams and writer Nicholas Thomas revisit the sites of contact between Cook''s crews in Dusky Sound and Queen Charlotte Sound, as well as places in Europe where botanical specimens, indigenous artefacts, and the voyagers'' documents ended up. They examine the traces of the past, opening up ambiguities and avoiding easy judgements about these early meetings. The volume is extensively illustrated with black-and-white photographs.

What is the DNA of Relationships? Most people attend business functions because they know they must, yet they don''t know how to start a conversation and quickly get into relationships with others. Like all skills, it''s something that can be learned. In The DNA of Relationships, you''ll learn how to become better at meeting strangers, starting a conversation and quickly moving into an engaging and profitable business relationship. "The Relationships Guy", Lindsay Adams, walks you through techniques like: How to ask just one question and relax while others do all the talking; Finding the common ground in a topic that contributes to an engaging conversation; How a P.S. a small act of positive service, will have people beating a path to your door to do business with you; How to give and get trust to increase your credibility and your sales; How to identify and recruit your Key-4(TM) the ultimate wingman strategy for even more referrals. You''ll discover an easy to implement structure to overcome those all-important, yet often terribly awkward, first moments at a business function, enabling you to confidently meet prospects, make connections and clinch sales. Lindsay Adams is "The Relationships Guy" and has been building and refining his business relationships for more than 30 years. His relationships have helped him to build a house, travel the world easily, have a happy marriage and enjoy diverse and exciting lifelong friendships.

This book is great for reading to preschool through first or second grade students. Papa, and his granddaughter Miss V, set off on a trip from their home in the country into town. They pass several animal friends at various spots in town, then happen upon a mother duck and her nine little ducklings. The ducklings are still very small and can''t climb the curb onto the sidewalk where their mother is. So, together, Papa and Miss V help the little ducklings onto the sidewalk with their mother.

Power and gender theories are applied to the life of Queen Elizabeth I to examine her tactics to maintain internal security within the borders of England and Ireland in the shadow of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, who had succumbed to the actions of misogynistic men.

Bucky is a little boy who grows up in an alcoholic household.

Mark Adams'' renowned images document a great Polynesian art tradition. Samoan tattooing has flourished among Samoan migrants in New Zealand, stimulated major New Zealand artists, and inspired tattoo artists and communities worldwide. Through Adams'' photography, Tatau tells the story of Sulu''ape Paulo II, the pre-eminent figure of modern Samoan tattooing. Paulo was a brilliantly innovative and often controversial man, who saw tatau as an art of international importance, and who was killed tragically in 1999. Tatau documents his practice, and that of other tufuga ta tatau (tattoo artists), in the contexts of Polynesian tattooing, Samoan migrant communities and New Zealand art. Tatau presents 100 full-colour plates of Adams'' powerful and moving images. Documentary by nature, they also ask tough questions of this scene and its history. Accompanying the photographs are two essays and two interviews: Sean Mallon writes on the tufuga, Peter Brunt writes on the photographer, and in interviews with Sean Mallon and Nicholas Thomas, Sulu''ape Paulo II and Mark Adams respectively articulate their own understandings of their practices.

Abstract: "Multigrid has been a popular solver method for finite element and finite difference problems with regular grids for over 20 years. The application of multigrid to unstructured problems is, however, not well understood and has been an active area of research in recent years. The two most promising categories of unstructured multigrid methods are 1) ''geometric'' methods that use standard finite element coarse grid function spaces, and 2) rigid body mode based coarse grid space ''algebraic'' methods. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of three promising multigrid methods (one geometric and two rigid body mode algebraic) on several unstructured problems in 3D elasticity with up to 76 million degrees of freedom."

The morphology of mountainous areas is strongly influenced by stream bed incision rates, but most studies of landscape evolution consider erosion at basin scales or larger. The research here attempts to understand the smaller-scale mechanics of erosion on exposed bedrock channels in the conceptual framework of an established saltation-abrasion model by Sklar and Dietrich [2004]. The recirculating flume used in this experiment allows independent control of bed slope, water discharge rate, sediment flux, and sediment grain size all factors often bundled together in simple models of river incision and typically cross-correlated in natural settings. This study investigates the mechanics of erosion on exposed bedrock channels caused by abrasion of transported particles. Of particular interest are saltating particles, as well as sediment near the threshold between saltation and suspension - sediment vigorously transported but with significant interaction with the bed. The size of these erosive tools are varied over an order of magnitude in mean grain diameter, including a sand of D50 = 0.56 mm, and three gravel sizes of 3.39, 4.63, and 5.88 mm. Special consideration was taken to prevent any flow conditions that created a persistent alluvial cover. The erodible concrete substrate is fully exposed at all times during experiments reported here. Rates of erosion into the concrete substrate (a bedrock proxy) were measured by comparing topographic data before and after each experimental run, made possible by a precision laser mounted on a high speed computer-controlled cart. The experimental flume was able to produce flow discharge as high as 75 liters per second, sediment fluxes (of many varieties) up to 215 grams per second, and bed slopes up to 10%. I find a general positive correlation is found between erosion rate and bed slope, shear stress, grain size, and sediment flux.
