An illustrated book of projects that demonstrate how the universe works. (view table of contents)

An elementary science experiment book that provides young scientists with safe, workable astronomy projects (view table of contents)

Three hundred photographs illustrate--step by step--the fundamental skills, equipment needed, and fun projects for young stargazers, including tips on creating a zodiac band model and recording a comet's journey through the skies.

Presents fifty-three simple experiments and projects revolving around space science, including topics such as seasons, the night sky, light, and flight.

Master next-generation flood control techniques. Here's the hands-on help you need to apply state-of-the-art computer programs for modeling flood plain hydrologic and hydraulic systems pioneered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Daniel Hoggan's Computer-Assisted Floodplain Hydrology and Hydraulics, Second Edition, takes you step-by-step through the HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles Program, the Windows-based HEC-RAS River Analysis System Program, the HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph and Parameter Estimation Program and many other Software packages. It helps you simulate basin hydrology, analyze flood frequency, compute water surface profiles and more. Armed with these powerful techniques, you'll accurately analyze rainfall and rainfall loss, flood routing, urbanizing basins, interior flooding, culvert flow, floodway and channel improvement and much more.
