Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of a particular weather event, the surface gap of January 8, 1939, through the lens of isentropic analysis, a relatively new meteorological technique that has proven to be useful for both understanding and predicting weather patterns. The author begins by reviewing the synoptic situation leading up to the gap and then uses isentropic charts to track the movement of air masses and identify areas of instability. The author argues that this approach offers an improved understanding of the processes that led to the gap and could help meteorologists to better predict similar events in the future. Overall, the book provides a valuable contribution to the field of meteorology and is likely to be of particular interest to researchers and students specializing in synoptic meteorology, weather forecasting, and atmospheric dynamics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Primary author Dod Stewart, a former president of the American Art Pottery Association, was assisted by Marjorie Anderson (daughter of Peter Anderson), Earl Lamar Denham, and Mary Anderson Pickard (daughter of Walter Inglis Anderson). Stewart briefly reviews the history and genealogy of the Anderson family beginning with Annette McConnell Anderson and George Walter Anderson, the family's early affiliations with Newcomb College and Tulane University faculty such as Ellsworth Woodward, Joseph Meyer, Paul Cox, and William Spratling as well as connections to George Ohr and Alfred University. The initial sections focus upon the work of brothers Peter Anderson, Walter Anderson, and James McConnell Anderson with numerous pictures of rare pieces owned by Anderson family members, private collectors, and museums. Also reviewed are examples of the wares and glaze decorations by the talented children and grandchildren of the three brothers: Patricia Anderson Findeisen, Adele Anderson Lawton, James Anderson, Michael Anderson, Christopher Inglis Stebly, and Peter Wade Anderson. Furthermore, Stewart greatly expands upon the pottery marks documented by Christopher Maurer in DREAMING IN CLAY ON THE COAST OF MISSISSIPPI (Doubleday, 2000), as he examines the identification, dating, and attribution of Shearwater wares in-depth with color photos of pottery bases showing almost all known incised and/or stamped thrower and decorator ciphers.
