A time to speak

Lewis, Helen
15 March 1939: German troops enter Prague and for Czechoslovakian Jews the terror begins. This is the story of one of the survivors. Helen Lewis was a young wife studying philosophy and attending a prestigious school of dance in Prague. In 1942 she and her husband Paul were deported to Terezin, the Jewish ghetto, and then to Auschwitz, where they were separated. A Time to Speak is the story of her survival. Told with impeccable integrity, there is wit and candor in her tale as well as sorrow, and a controlled anger, which never diplays itself in rancor. This is a memorable book of love and loss, friendship and betrayal, terror and humor, joy and despair, good and evil, death and survival. Helen Lewis does not speculate, she never invents. This is only truth, witnessed truth.

The Urban Climate

Landsberg, Helmut E.
The Urban Climate aims to summarize analytical studies directed toward physical understanding of the rural-urban differences in the atmospheric boundary layer. Attempts to quantify conditions have met with some success. There is certainly a clear understanding of the physical relations that create the climatic differences of urbanized areas. Although some of the earlier classical studies are cited here, the emphasis is on the work done during the last decade and a half. This volume comprises 11 chapters, beginning with an introductory chapter discussing the literature surrounding the topic, its historical development, and the problem of local climate modification. The second chapter presents an assessment of the urban atmosphere on a synoptic and local scale, and examines the observational procedures involved. The following chapters then go on to discuss urban air composition; urban energy fluxes; the urban heat island; the urban wind field; models of urban temperature and wind fields; moisture, clouds, and hydrometeors; urban hydrology; special aspects of urban climate; and finally, urban planning. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of meteorology, urban planning, and urban climatology.
