Free Download Dee Gordon, "Voices for History: Essex Land Girls"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 075096152X | EPUB | pages: 192 | 3.7 mb
As much as 70 percent of Essex is agricultural, and given its proximity to the capital it’s not surprising that so many members of the Women’s Land Army found themselves on Essex farms and fields during World Wars I and II. Thanks to the work of the Women’s Land Army, Britain did not starve. This book includes not only interviews with some of the last surviving land "girls," but a wealth of material unearthed in diaries, letters, and in the stories handed down from one generation to the next about women in Essex who were, literally, wearing the trousers. They were not all Essex girls, and many arrived from the cities never having seen a cow or a tractor. The wit, camaraderie, and British spirit that served us so well during those tumultuous years shines through in every story, and will leave a lasting impression.

Free Download Zhen-Dong Cui, "Land Subsidence Induced by the Engineering-Environmental Effect"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 9811080399, 9811356939 | PDF | pages: 247 | 13.3 mb
This book brings forward the concept of the geology-environmental capacity of ground buildings. It quantifies the geology-environmental capacity of ground buildings by analyzing the main factors of land subsidence and setting up the evaluation system. The geological environmental capacity of ground buildings is mainly controlled by the land subsidence and the output is the floor area ratio. According to the different geology structures and the different requirements of subsidence control in the soft soil areas in Shanghai, the evaluation system of the floor area ratio is built up by the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and the floor area ratios of four typical regions (Lujiazui, Xujiahui, Zhongyuan and Changqiao) are obtained by the ANFIS to offer references for urban planning. By taking the typical soft soil areas in Shanghai as case studies, this book will provide valuable insights to professors and graduate students in the field of Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Geology and Environmental Geology.

Free Download Mary Dodson Wade, "Henrietta King: Loving the Land (Texas Heroes For Young Readers)"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1936474131, 193397964X | EPUB | pages: 24 | 5.2 mb
This accessible biography for K-2 readers introduces the woman whose acumen and tenacity enabled the King Ranch to become a legend, and whose foresight and generosity is responsible for much of the civilization in South Texas. Rancher and philanthropist, and the only child of Maria and Hiram Chamberlain, Henrietta was born in 1832 in Boonville, Missouri. Her mother died in 1835 and her father’s missionary work around Missouri and in Tennessee made for a lonely childhood. She became self-reliant and had strong, sometimes unconventional, ideas. Henrietta and her husband Richard King established their home on the Santa Gertrudis ranch, and built ranch to 1,173,000 acres by 1925. The cattle developed on the ranch were a boon to the Texas cattle industry because of their resistance to disease and heat. King was also interested in the settlement of the region between Corpus Christi and Brownsville, investing her money to improve towns, establish churches, and stabilize the companies pro
