Christopher Klein Book order

The Boston Harbor Discovering the City's Hidden Shores is an indispensable resource for those who want to uncover the best kept secret in the Northeast. Part history, part travel guide, Christopher Klein has written the most compelling invitation to explore the Boston Harbor Islands national park area to date. Explore the military installations that protected Boston during wartime—including Fort Warren, home of Confederate prisoners during the Civil War. Visit Boston Light on Little Brewster, the nation’s oldest lighthouse site. Kayak into the coves where pirates and bootleggers once hid. Dive amid century-old wrecks, or climb to the top of Spectacle Island for an altogether different view of Boston. Take in a jazz concert, an antique baseball game, or simply hop from one island to the next to experience the stunning natural beauty of this most storied national park. Complete with resource listings of recreational activities on and around the harbor islands and richly illustrated with over 150 full-color photographs, Klein’s comprehensive coverage and keen wit will inspire thousands of landlubbers and mariners to leave port for many summers to come.

Hailed by the Boston Globe as one of the best boxing books ever penned, Strong Boy is the rags-to-riches story of one of America's first ethnic heroes, the nation's first million-dollar athlete, a sports hero decades before Babe Ruth, and the forefather of boxing and sports celebrity as we know them today-John L. Sullivan, The Boston Strong Boy

This thesis investigates the influence of shear fields on water-based systems, focusing on the non-linear rheological behavior of spherical and rod-like particles through Fourier-Transform rheology under LAOS conditions. Two types of polystyrene dispersions, each with a solid content exceeding 0.3, were synthesized as model systems for spherical particles. Differences in polydispersity and Debye-length led to variations in rheological behavior. Both dispersions exhibited a similar increase in the intensities of odd higher harmonics, as predicted by a model, although some second harmonics appeared unexpectedly. A novel analysis method was developed to decompose the time domain signal into four characteristic functions corresponding to rheological phenomena, with potential negative interference among Fourier components. FD-virus particles served as a rod-like model system, demonstrating highly non-linear behavior at concentrations below 1% wt. The predictions for higher harmonics' dependence on strain amplitude were accurate at large amplitudes but less so at smaller ones, aligning with existing theories for rod-like particles. Enhancements to an existing rheo-optical setup included a 20-fold reduction in background birefringence and a 24-fold increase in time resolution, allowing for a combination of FT-rheology and rheo-optics. The impact of a constant shear field on zinc oxide crystallization in the presence of a polymer was
