Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the shore defense structures along Chicago's northside lakefront from Wilson Avenue groin to Ohio Street beach, using sidescan sonar. The author, a geologist, presents the findings of a preliminary study, concluding that deterioration of the revetments is not related to lake bottom erosion or scour, or to the absence or shifting of toe protection. Instead, it is due to a combination of factors, including design, construction materials, structural age, the effects of wave surge and lake level fluctuations. The author discusses the thematic depth, and ideas presented in the book and ends the publication with a concluding sentence that encapsulates the significance of the book's insights on its main subject. 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.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is a book about the Power, the Beauty & the Wisdom of Life. It touches profound topics such as 1) the fundamental flow of Life Force within and around us, 2) why and how the flow is contained and restrained, and 3) how to surrender ourselves to it and be moved beyond our character defense structures, into our full adult development potential.One of the main teachings of this entire process has to do with focusing on Life, and understanding that even the paralysis, the symptom and the disease are all Life- seeking movements. In this way we discover that what has become stagnant will move once again if we allow it. Health is paramount. The Essence is indestructible. The Sacred is the beginning and the end of everything that exists.…
