Unfortunately thousands upon thousands of authors across the world pour their blood, sweat, and tears (sometimes literally) into their work based upon this myth. Without proper preparation and promotion even the best book on the planet will be read by few and purchased by less. It takes forethought to navigate the world of publishing and deliver a product that will actually reach its intended audience. Let’s take a look at the entertainment industry for a comparison that illustrates this point. One of the most successful television shows of all time was Seinfeld. Seinfeld, however, had poor ratings in its first season and faced the very real possibility of cancellation. Nevertheless the network took a risk, promoted the heck out of the show and, well… the rest is history. But this success did not come lightly. It required good casting, solid storylines, and witty dialogue in addition to a well thought out advertising campaign. Another TV show that you might be familiar with, Firefly, had all the same strengths of casting, storylines, and dialogue.

California State University, Los Angeles J+/- W#00#/ $'1 W#00#$% C. P$(&)!( Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA ABSTRACT Los Angeles is experiencing more heat waves and also more extreme heat days. 2ese numbers have increased by over 3 heat waves per century and nearly 23 days per century occurrences, respectively. Both have more than tripled over the past 100 years as a consequence of the steady warming of Los Angeles. Our research explores the daily maximum and minimum temper- atures from 1906 to 2006 recorded by the Department of Water and Power (DWP) downtown station and Pierce College, a suburban valley location. 2e average annual maximum temperature in Los Angeles has warmed by 5.0°F (2.8°C), while the average annual minimum temperature has warmed by 4.2°F (2.3°C). 2e greatest rate of change was during the summer months for both maximum and minimum temperature, with late fall and early winter having the least rates of change. 2ere was also an increase in heat wave duration. Heat waves lasting longer than six days occurred regularly a3er the 1970s but were nonexistent from the start of 1906 until 1956, when the 4rst six-day heat wave was recorded. While heat days have increased dramatically in the past century, cold days, where minimum temperature is below 45°F (7.2°C), show a slight decreasing trend. Recent deadly heat waves in the western United States have generated increasing electricity demands.

    Impacts and Responses to the 1995 Heat Wave: A Call to Action ; 4 Stanley A. Changnon, Kenneth E. Kunkel, and Beth C. Reinke Midwestern Climate Center, Illinois State Water Survey, Champaign, Illinois ABSTRACT The short but intense heat wave in mid-July 1995 caused 830 deaths nationally, with 525 of these deaths in Chicago. Many of the dead were elderly, and the event raised great concern over why it happened. Assessment of causes for the heat wave-related deaths in Chicago revealed many factors were at fault, including an inadequate local heat wave warning system, power failures, questionable death assessments, inadequate ambulance service and hospital facilities, the heat island, an aging population, and the inability of many persons to properly ventilate their residences due to fear of crime or a lack of resources for fans or air conditioning. Heat-related deaths appear to be on the increase in the United States. Heat-related deaths greatly exceed those caused by other life-threatening weather conditions. Analysis of the impacts and responses to this heat wave reveals a need to 1) define the heat island conditions during heat waves for all major cities as a means to improve forecasts of threatening conditions, 2) develop a nationally uniform means for classifying heat-related deaths, 3) improve warning systems that are designed around local conditions of large cities, and 4) increase research on the meteorological and climatological aspects of heat stress and heat waves. 1 .Introduction atmospheric research, and for assessing potential im- pacts of global warming.

  • Richard Anderson a Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 1
    Richard Anderson A Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 Chapter 6: Under a broiling sun: Urban Heat Introduction As long-term residents will know, Toronto can be hot and uncomfortable in summer. Heat-wave nights can be warm and sticky, while the days bring a scorching combination of steamy heat and smog. And it is all supposed to get worse with global warming. Although the city's historians have tended to ignore it, Toronto's summer heat has a long and significant history. It also has an intricate geography. Over long periods of time the changing geography of Toronto's heat has helped reshape the city and its surrounding regions. Urban heat has played a vital role in its biophysical history. If we had to arrange a field trip to take urban historians to meet the Ghost of Heat-Waves Past, we might start with the early part of July 1921. Those in search of biophysical stress would find Toronto sweltering in classic hot summer weather. The Observatory, custodian of official temperature records, put the maximum at 93 °F (33.9 °C)1 but it was much warmer in the city's workplaces. Downtown offices were in the high 90s, and it got well into the 100s in restaurant kitchens, brickyards, foundries, and the gas works.2 Workplace absenteeism was widespread. Heat closed the CCM factory in Weston, and reduced the staff at Dunlop Rubber. The Gurney and Pease foundries closed. Plasterers and bricklayers downed tools.3 People riding to work on the streetcars hung their heads out of windows, in search of a breeze.
