Sommario/riassunto

A steamy night not forgotten...One night of passion with a handsome stranger compels Louise Piekartz to change her path. Instead of finishing law school at her parents' urging, she chases her dream to Bay Shore and revives her grandmother's bakery. Now that she has secured a life of her own, she won't let anything get in her way. But can she resist the temptation of the man from her past, when he shows up to rekindle their love affair? Ever since his father's death, Isaac Rybak has a burning need to fix everything around him. But his mother's addiction to drugs is not something he can cure. Consumed by his inability to stop his mother from using, he struggles with his inner demons--until the woman of his dreams walks back into his life, and all his efforts are focused on a battle he knows he can win: securing her heart.Content Notes: Spicy, Violence

Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on the impact dynamics and cratering of soft matter to describe its importance, difficulty, and wide applicability to planetary-related problems. A comprehensive introduction to the dimensional analysis and constitutive laws that are necessary to discuss impact mechanics and cratering is first provided. Then, particular coverage is given to the impact of granular matter, which is one of the most crucial constituents for geophysics. While granular matter shows both solid-like and fluid-like behaviors, neither solid nor fluid dynamics is sufficient to fully understand the physics of granular matter. In order to reveal its fundamental properties, extensive impact tests have been carried out recently. The author reveals the findings of these recent studies as well as what remains unsolved in terms of impact dynamics. Impact crater morphology with various soft matter impacts also is discussed intensively. Various experimental and observational results up to the recent Itokawa asteroid’s terrain and



nanocrater are reviewed and explained mainly by dimensional analysis. The author discusses perspectives of the relation between soft matter physics and planetary science, because it is an important step towards unifying physics  and planetary science, in both of which fields crater morphology has been studied independently.
