  • Talking Books Catalogue
    Aaronovitch, Ben Rivers of London My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just another probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police Service. My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit and finding a way to climb into the panties of WPC Leslie May. Then one night, I tried to take a statement from a man who was already dead. Ackroyd, Peter The death of King Arthur An immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery and death brought to new life for our times. The legend of King Arthur has retained its appeal and popularity through the ages - Mordred's treason, the knightly exploits of Tristan, Lancelot's fatally divided loyalties and his love for Guenever, the quest for the Holy Grail. Adams, Jane Fragile lives The battered body of Patrick Duggan is washed up on a beach a short distance from Frantham. To complicate matters, Edward Parker, who worked for Duggan's father, disappeared at the same time. Coincidence? Mac, a police officer, and Rina, an interested outsider, don't think so. Adams,Jane The power of one Why was Paul de Freitas, a games designer, shot dead aboard a luxury yacht and what secret was he protecting that so many people are prepared to kill to get hold of? Rina Martin takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of things, much to the consternation of her friend, DI McGregor. ADICHIE, Chimamanda Ngozi Half of a Yellow Sun The setting is the lead up to and the course of Nigeria's Biafra War in the 1960's, and the events unfold through the eyes of three central characters who are swept along in the chaos of civil war.

Loechle Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of the History of Art Indiana University November 2010 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee _________________________________ Chairperson, Sarah Burns, Ph.D. __________________________________ Janet Kennedy, Ph.D. __________________________________ Patrick McNaughton, Ph.D. __________________________________ Beverly Stoeltje, Ph.D. November 9, 2010 ii ©2010 Anne M. Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

  • Analysis of Instream Flows for the Sulphur River: Hydrology, Hydraulics & Fish Habitat Utilization
    Analysis of Instream Flows for the Sulphur River: Hydrology, Hydraulics & Fish Habitat Utilization Final Report Volume I – Main Report Submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers in fulfillment of Obligation No. W45XMA11296580 and TWDB Contract No. 2001-REC-015 Tim Osting, Ray Mathews and Barney Austin Surface Water Resources Division Texas Water Development Board July 2004 Executive Summary This report addresses potential impacts of water development projects to the hydrology, aquatic habitat and flood plain in the Sulphur River basin. Proposed main-channel reservoir projects in the basin have the potential to cause significant changes to the hydrological regime and information presented in this report will aid future planning efforts in determining the magnitude of the changes. Regional characteristics of the Sulphur River basin are presented along with historical stream flow records that are analyzed for changes in historical flow regime over time. Recent and historical studies of the fisheries of the lower Brazos River are reviewed and discussed. A total of five different analyses on two different datasets collected in the Sulphur River basin are presented. Two Texas A&M University (TAMU) studies were based upon fish habitat utilization data collected in two areas of the Sulphur River over one season. One area, downstream of the confluence of the North and South Sulphur Rivers, was channelized and the other area, downstream of the proposed Marvin Nichols I Reservoir site, was unchannelized. Two additional TAMU studies were based upon fish habitat utilization data collected in two areas (channelized and unchannelized) of the South Sulphur River near the proposed George Parkhouse I Reservoir site.
