A. Merritt’s landmark classic of lost world fiction. The tome that influenced H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu. Two princesses, one of temptation, power, and naked deceit; one of mercy, trust, and blind truth. Both bound to serve supernatural beings unto death. Both in love with the same man. What do you get when you combine the action of Conan the Barbarian and the lyrical vision of The Martian Chronicles? The Mool Pool recounts the story of a group of adventurers who stumble through a portal into a lost, underground world. A world of incredible science and sublime magic. A world on the brink of war. The adventurers tip it over the edge. Can they save themselves? Can they save the world? One of the first stories of its kind, A. Merritt’s The Moon Pool will dazzle you until the final page.

Scientists unleash a subterranean horror in the South Pacific in this classic adventure by the author of Burn, Witch, Burn! and The Ship of Ishtar. On the island of Ponape, a party of researchers explores the ruins of an ancient civilization. There they discover an entrance to an underground world full of unusual scientific findings, including strange beings . . . The most intelligent among this advanced race created an offspring, an entity known as the Dweller. Over time, it turned toward evil. Now, it occasionally returns to the surface to prey upon men and women . . . to feed. When the group of explorers release the creature from its prison, they unknowingly launch a battle of good versus evil. And there can be only one victor . . .

Second chances can sometimes get you killed. From the moment he woke that early March morning, Chase Hampton knew, once he was released from prison later that day, he was never going back. No matter what. Born into a wealthy but flawed North Carolina shipbuilding family, Chase was somehow immune to the dysfunction. The sky was the limit for the 18-year old football prodigy, until one terrible event changed the course of his life and prison became his new home. Through the highs and lows of his incarceration, there was one person he couldn’t forget, no matter how hard he’d tried: childhood best friend Bailey Masters. For reasons unknown to him, she'd shunned him ever since her mysterious return to Foggy Harbor at the beginning of their sophomore year. Now, seven years into a twelve-year manslaughter sentence, Chase is given an unusual second chance, one that comes with its own set of rules. Suddenly, he's thrust into a position he's not ready for: the tip of the spear in a quiet war against an American enemy. A war that could cost him his family . . . and his life.

The book describes currently applied and newly developed advanced numerical methods for wave-induced ship motions and loads. Besides well-established computational methods based on strip theory, panel methods and finite volume methods for unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS), recent advances like a fully nonlinear Rankine panel method, URANS calculations including elastic hull deformations, and an improved method to predict added resistance in waves are explained in detail. Furthermore, statistical methods to assess extreme motions and loads are described both for linear and nonlinear responses in a stationary seaway as well as during long-term ship operations. Results of motions and loads, computed using the various methods, are compared with each other and with results of model experiments. Introductory chapters on fluid dynamics, motions of rigid and elastic ship hulls, numerical methods to compute fluid flows associated with wind waves, and the development and simulation of seaways complement the volume. The book will be of interest to post-graduate students, PhD candidates, as well as engineers in the field of naval architecture, ocean, and marine engineering.
