The fields used to generate these maps were computed by objective analysis of historical data. Data distribution maps are presented for individual years at selected standard levels. Also, figures showing the results of multi variate analyses of these fields, linear temperature trends occurring in the upper ocean, and difference fields between selected years are presented.

George H. Devol was the greatest riverboat gambler in the history of the Mississippi. Born in Ohio in 1829, he ran away from home and worked as a cabin boy at age ten. At fourteen he could stack a deck of cards. Over the years, he bilked soldiers, paymasters, cotton buyers, thieves, and businessmen alike. He fought more fights than anyone, and was never beaten. This is his story. Nobody was ever bored by it.

The main objective of this study is to develop a predictive model based on the correlation between well-known climate indices and fish production, to forecast fluctuations in the main commercial Atlantic and Pacific fish stocks for up to 30 years ahead. The probable scenario of climate and biota changes for the next 50-60 years is also considered.

The legendary Streisand. Greatness seemingly without trying. Told through an unusual reverse chronology, Barbra details the years of the 1970s and '80s in the life and career of one of the world's greatest entertainers. After more than nine years of research and writing, this biography details not only the performer's professional career, but also her intensely private, even reclusive, personal life.
