• Sommario/riassunto: "The origins of On Becoming a Scholar lie in the realisation that there is a need for a vademecum, a handy compendium of ideas, plans and strategies for building a productive and fulfilling academic career to guide the host of prospective academics. On Becoming a Scholar is geared to help relatively new scholars to construct personal futures and to find their way through the 21st century university. It is intended to be a map, and like any map it does not contain all the contours and details of the landscape, but rather seeks to reveal the important pathways and milestones in the journey to becoming an established academic. Drawing on highly experienced academics and accomplished professors in their different fields, as well as promising younger academics already on their way, this book cover a concentrated resource of practical wisdom. The topics are broad and, cumulatively, they seek to answer the many questions that experienced mentors encounter every day in their work with new academics." --

• Sommario/riassunto: The weather on planet Earth is a vital and sometimes fatal force in human affairs.Efforts to control or reduce the harmful impacts of weather go back far in time. Inthis, the latest National Academies' assessment of weather modification, the committeewas asked to assess the ability of current and proposed weather modificationcapabilities to provide beneficial impacts on water resource management andweather hazard mitigation. It examines new technologies, reviews advances ; innumerical modeling on the cloud and mesoscale, and considers how improvementsin computer capabilities might be applied to weather modification. Critical Issues inWeather Modification Research examines the status of the science underlying weathermodification in the United States. It calls for a coordinated national research programto answer fundamental questions about basic atmospheric processes and toaddress other issues that are impeding progress in weather modification.
