Sommario/riassunto

During the past four decades, computer-based mathematical models of watershed hydrology have been widely used for a variety of applications including hydrologic forecasting, hydrologic design, and water resources management. These models are based on general mathematical descriptions of the watershed processes that transform natural forcing (e.g., rainfall over the landscape) into response (e.g., runoff in the rivers). The user of a watershed hydrology model must specify the model parameters before the model is able to properly simulate the watershed behavior.

Sommario/riassunto

This book critically examines the role of international financial organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in perpetuating poverty in Third World countries. Authored by James and Lance Morcan, it explores the hidden agendas behind financial aid, arguing that these institutions often act not out of altruism but to entrap nations in debt. Through a detailed analysis, the authors reveal how these organizations exploit the mineral wealth of poorer nations under the guise of financial assistance, leading to economic domination. The book aims to challenge the perception of charitable aid and to expose the systemic corruption that undermines genuine development efforts. It is intended for readers interested in geopolitics, economics, and social justice.

Sommario/riassunto

Molotch takes us on a fascinating exploration into the worlds of technology, design, corporate and popular culture. We now see how corporations, designers, retailers, advertisers, and other middle-men influence what a thing can be and how it is made. We see the way goods link into ordinary life as well as vast systems of consumption, economic and political operation. The  book is a meditation into the meaning of the stuff in our lives and what that stuff says about us.
