Paperback. Condition: New. For more than 75 years, high-hazard structures in the U.S., including dams and nuclear power plants, have been engineered to withstand floods resulting from the most unlikely but possible precipitation, termed Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). Failure of any one of the more than 16,000 high-hazard dams and 50 nuclear power plants in the United States could result in the loss of life and impose significant economic losses and widespread environmental damage, especially under the pressures of climate change. While PMP estimates have provided useful guidance for designing critical infrastructure, weaknesses in the scientific foundations of PMP, combined with advances in understanding, observing, and modeling extreme storms, call for fundamental changes to the definition of PMP and the methods used to estimate it.Modernizing Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimation recommends a new definition of PMP and presents a vision for a methodology relevant for design, operation, and regulation of critical infrastructure. The new definition targets precipitation depths with an extremely low exceedance probability instead of assuming rainfall is bounded, and considers specified climate periods so that PMP estimates can change as the climate changes. Near-term enhancements to PMP include improved data collection, model-based storm reconstructions, and strengthened scientific grounding for PMP methods. Long-term model-based PMP estimation will employ kilometer-scale climate models capable of resolving PMP storms and producing PMP-magnitude precipitation. A Model Evaluation Project will provide scientific grounding for model-based PMP estimation and determine when transition to a model-based PMP estimation should occur. Scientific and modeling advances along this front will contribute to addressing the societal challenges linked to the changes in extreme storms and precipitation in a warming climate, which are critical steps to ensuring the safety of our infrastructure and society.

Good orig. blue cloth. Head of spine frayed, front edge stained. 86 p.; 23 cm. (Studies in the Germanic languages and literatures ; 1) Introduction, p. [13]-25 -- Eccius dedolatus [translation], p. [27]-74 -- Appendix: Willibald Pirckheimer's continuation of Eccius dedolatus [translation], p. [75]-84 -- Bibliography, p. [85]-86. -- Oxford dictionary of the Christian church, 3rd ed., s.v. Pirckheimer, describes `the virulent pamphlet Eccius Dedolatus, now generally acknowledged to be his work.' On the continuation, Best writes: `Among the unpublished manuscripts left by Willibald Pirckheimer at his death is a fragment of a dialogue patterned after Eccius dedolatus. It deals with the cure of a later illness supposedly incurred by Eck on his return from Rome. Eck came back to Germany in August 1520, bringing the bull, Exsurge Domine, that threatened Luther, Pirckheimer, Karlstadt, Adelmann, Spengler, and two others with excommunication. We may safely assume, however, that Pirckheimer did not know of the papal censure at the time he wrote this satire on Eck. When he did become aware of the bull, in October 1520, he went to great lenghts to secure absolution. He would not then have ridiculed Eck as he did in the continuation of Eccius dedolatus. His satire therefore probably dates from September 1520.' (p. [75]). 1st in English edition. Binding is Hardcover.

Hardcover. xxix, [1], 168, [1] p.; 20.5 cm. Preserves original orthography except for making more uniform the use of capital letters. Contents: Publishers' note [gratitude to Norman Sykes for seeing the work through the press after Peel's death in 1949] -- Preface [1948] -- Introduction -- I The most principall and cheife heresies in R: Brownes booke -- II The opinions and dealinges of the Precisians -- III A generall table of the treatises followinge -- IV Certen slaunderous speeches against the present Estate of the Church of Englande published to the people by the Precisians. -- A beautifully written manuscript probably penned between 1583-85, in which `There is nowhere any indication of the author, but any student of Elizabethan church history who has used Richard Bancroft's detective works, published in 1593, Daungerous positions and proceedings, and A Suruay of the Pretended Holy Discipline, would say `Bancroft' almost immediately he began to read the manuscript. It seems extremely probable that it was this work, and Bancroft's activity in and near Bury St Edmunds in 1583, that commended him to Whitgift as the man to track down Martin Marprelate and bring both the Precisians under Cartwright and Separatists like Barrow, Greenwood and Penry within the meshes of the law. A brief sketch of his early career will serve to show how the manuscript fits into the picture.' (p. x) -- `It is difficult to exaggerage the polemical power of Bancroft's historical account. He used to advantage every discreditable incident, every squabble, and every scandal. The final picture of Puritanism was repellent and unattractive: and the mud has stuck.' (S. B. Babbage, Puritanism and Richard Bancroft, 1962, p. 24) VG orig. red cloth under gray boards in chipped and edgeworn dj.

Hardcover. vignette: royal arms (illustrator). 10th edition. [1],54 p. + 4 leaves (blank; prospectus for The Brunswick, or, true blue, 2 leaves; advt.); 21 cm. Sig. on p.[1]: Wm. Scrivener [bound with] Blacow, Richard. The substance of a discourse, preached in St. Mark's Church, Liverpool, on Sunday evening, Nov. 26th, 1820, by the Rev. Richard Blacow, A.M. on the aspect of the times. Fourth edition, with additional notes; and an appendix bearing on the Radical question. London: printed for, and published by Mr. Wright.; Johnson, printer, Liverpool. [1821?] 32 p. -- For the passages - `The term "cowardly," which they have now laid to my charge, I think you will do me the justice to say, does not belong to me--that feeling was never an inmate of my bosom; neither when the Jacobins raged around us with all their fury; nor in the present day of Radical uproar and delusion. The latter, indeed, it must be allowed, have one feature about them, even more hideous and disgusting than the Jacobins themselves. They fell down and worshipped the Goddess of Reason--a most respectable and decent sort of Being, compared with that which the Radicals have set up, as the idol of their worship. They have elevated the GODDESS OF LUST on the PEDESTAL of SHAME.' (p. 9), and `I used her name [Caroline] in the Liturgy, in this very reading desk, under a persuasion at the time, that the foul charges then in circulation against her, were not founded in truth; and, not knowing all the circumstances of the case, I deemed the authorized omission of that name somewhat harsh. But subsequent events and proceedings have too painfully convinced me of the reality of her guilt. of the grievous sin of adultery. under circumstances the most base, shameful, and disgusting.' (p. 11) - he was convicted of libel in 1821. Good chipped quarter green morocco. Sig. lipped from title-page.

Wrappers. Condition: Very Good Plus. Engravings (illustrator). First Edition. Boston: Fields, Osgood & Co., 1869. First (and only) edition of the February 6th issue (Vol. VII, No. 162) of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7", newsprint wraps, 32 pp. + 8 pp. ads. A couple of small corner folds, 2 small holes through which an early owner apparently tried to bind this issue with others, some discoloration at one edge of rear cover, small chips at bottom edge. Almost no age toning or foxing. Supple. A very solid Very Good Plus. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday, which is found when it is found almost exclusively as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood (after Ticknor & Fields) which offered, in the publisher's words, "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e., usually reprints from similar overseas journals, generally English ones. This particular issue interestingly includes, as a "New Uncommercial Sample", Charles Dickens' "Mr. Barlow", which was Chapter 34 from his "The Uncommercial Traveller". As the original-wraps version of Every Saturday rather than the later hardbound accumulation, this piece is almost certainly the first American publication of that chapter. That title was originally published in England in 1860 by Chapman and Hall, but the first American edition was that of - yes, Fields & Osgood in 1869. F & O published chapters from the work here in Every Saturday, one in an issue, described as from "advance sheets" (most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals). Herein is Chapter 34, the story of that difficult tutor, Mr. Barlow, who was "the vulture that gorges itself upon the liver of my uninstructed mind". Also included: "Handsome is That Handsome Does" (Blanchard Jerrold, reprinted from 'The London'); Nelly's New Year (Hesba Stretton, reprinted from 'The Argosy'); and a variety of pieces, unattributed as to author. Those include "Victor Hugo at Home" (Once A Week); "The Man With Two Memories" (The Spectator); "Mature Sirens" (The Saturday Review); "The Fifteen Louis D'Or of Beaumarchais (concluded)" (Blackwood's Magazine); "Diary of Prince Salm-Salm" (London Times); "Conjugal Tiffs" (The London review); "Foreign Notes" (Our Exchanges); and "Hippolytus to Artemis" (Frazer's Magazine). Eight pages of the usual funky - and historically highly educational - Every Saturday ads, separately numbered, are also quite entertaining. A piece of history. L-ES1.
