The Book of Visions
Contains over five hundred best ideas (schemes, plans, proposals, etc.) from around the world - the visions of leading practitioners, world experts and inspired amateurs - new and imaginative (non-technological) for tackling social problems and improving the quality of life collected by the London Institute of Social Inventions. The Institute, a charity of research and education set up in 1985, is backed by many prominent people in all fields of life whose common goal is to promote social innovations: new social services or new and imaginative solutions to social problems, ideally before they becomes crises.
The Gulf Stream Meanders Experiment
The principal objective of the Gulf Stream Meanders Experiment was to kinematically and dynamically describe the nature of meanders. The upper continental slope region off Onslow Bay, North Carolina was choosen for the experiment site because several previous investigations in that area provided a baseline data set giving some ideas about time and space variability scales within and a several-month mean view of the Stream (Webster, 1961a, b; Richardson, et al., 1969). In addition, earlier observations ranging from reports in centuries-old ship logs to recent satellite infrared imagery made it apparent that Gulf Stream meandering was more intense between Charleston and Cape Hatteras than elsewhere in the South Atlantic Bight. Current, sea level, and atmospheric data from the Gulf Stream region off North Carolina for the period January - May 1979 are documented in this data report.
