Hardback. Condition: Good. The freshwater resources are essential to sustain human life and economic development of the country as well. The present situation of freshwater crises is the result of the growing use and the depletion of the freshwater resources. The problem becomes much sever when it comes to tropical region countries due to heavy siltation. The systemic planning of water resources is the key to handle the consequences of water scarcity due to reservoir siltation. The enhanced strategies for long term water resource management demands the investigation of sediment deposition and related dredging initiatives. The tropical region countries witness monsoons within three months of a year, resulting in a high rate of flow during the period. The high rate of flow manifests as high siltation in the reservoirs which are created for storing water for the long dry spell post-monsoon season. The incessant siltation during the monsoon period over the years depletes the storage capacity of the reservoirs which are created at a very high cost and massive infrastructure investment. The government continues to spend huge sums each year for creating additional storage capacities, and in reality, most of the developed projects have not been yielding expected output, primarily due to under estimation of sedimentation problems. Reservoir sedimentation is one of the major issues affecting reservoir storage capacity more rapidly than initial estimation given the fact that in most cases there were no specific provisions for sediment management for long-term use and sustainability 1].…

Paperback. Condition: Good. There was a time when it was common to couple Mina Loy's name with that of W. C. Williams or Marianne Moore: her advanced contemporaries considered her a literary and artistic genius - a descendant of Sappho by way of Emily Dickinson. But the public was scandalized by her work, and some critics openly scorned it. Not only were her Futurist-inspired techniques unlike anything most readers had encountered before, but her subjects - procreation, parturition, prostitution, suicide, addiction, retardation - were considered shocking even by some modernists. Mina Loy vanished from the literary scene just as dramatically as she arrived on it, and for most of the century her bold experiments have remained a well-kept secret. But in recent years Loy's work has been discovered by a new generation of poets and critics, and has begun to surface in revisionist anthologies. What has been needed is a reliable text of the essential Loy poems. To assemble The Lost Lunar Baedeker, Roger Conover has rescued Loy's poems and prose works from the Dada magazines and other ephemeral publications where they first appeared. All of Loy's notorious Futurist and feminist satires are included, as are many poems from her Paris and New York periods, the complete cycle of Love Songs, and several previously unknown texts. Detailed notes accompany the text.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. "Stories and Essays of Mina Loy" is the first book-length volume of Mina Loy's narrative writings and critical work ever published. This volume brings together her short fiction, as well as hybrid works that include modernized fairy tales, a Socratic dialogue, and a ballet. Loy's narratives address issues such as abortion and poverty, and what she called "the sex war" is an abiding theme throughout. "Stories and Essays of Mina Loy" also contains dramatic works that parody the bravado and misogyny of Futurism and demonstrate Loy's early, effective use of absurdist technique. Essays and commentaries on aesthetics, historical events, and religion complete this beguiling collection, cementing Mina Loy's place as one of the great writers of the twentieth century.…
