The Rocks of Valpre is a novel written by Ethel May Dell and published in 1913. The story is set in the French Riviera and follows the life of a young woman named Alix. She is the daughter of a wealthy Englishman and has grown up in luxury, but she is not content with her life. She longs for adventure and excitement, and her wish is granted when she meets a handsome stranger named Maurice. Alix and Maurice fall in love, but their happiness is short-lived when Maurice is accused of a crime he did not commit. He is forced to flee, leaving Alix behind. Heartbroken, Alix must now navigate the treacherous waters of society without the man she loves. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. It also delves into the class divide between the wealthy English expatriates and the locals in the French Riviera. Dell's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people of the region bring the story to life, and her characters are richly drawn and complex. Overall, The Rocks of Valpre is a gripping tale of romance and adventure that will transport readers to a bygone era of glamour and intrigue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book focuses on the processes and materials behind energy technologies. The author details the underlying chemistry of renewable sources, such as biofuels and wind power, as well as the traditionally used coal and gas. Chapters on energy storage technologies and the connection between energy generation and climate change round off this uniquely concise overview of the relationship between chemistry and energy.

This book combines a literature study and the results of a longitudinal case study from the oil and gas sector – the Ivar Aasen project – to explore the notion of learning in project-based organizations. First, readers are provided with a thorough examination of previous research on project learning, which is presented in structured and comprehensible format. The author explores the circular relationship between learningand performance in projects and identifies the means and attitudes required to support this circular relationship both within projects and between projects. The second part of the book has a narrower focus, namely on improving the institutionalized level of learning in project-based organizations. The empirical findings are drawn from the longitudinal case study and provide some useful insights into learning in a complex and demanding environment characterized by continuous changes, extreme time pressure, a multiplicity of stakeholders, tremendous financial impact, and market uncertainty. The study is peer-reviewed and presented as an academic text.

This book covers the fundamentals of the Earth sciences and examines their role in controlling the global occurrence and distribution of hydrocarbon resources. It explains the principles, practices and the terminology associated with the upstream sector of the oil industry. Key topics include a look at the elements and processes involved in the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons and demonstration of how geological and geophysical techniques can be applied to explore for oil and gas. There is detailed investigation into the nature and chemical composition of petroleum, and of surface and subsurface maps, including their construction and uses in upstream operations. Other topics include well-logging techniques and their use in determining rock and fluid properties, definitions and classification of resources and reserves, conventional oil and gas reserves and their global distribution as well as unconventional hydrocarbons, their worldwide occurrence and the resources potentially associated with them. Finally, practical analysis is concentrated on the play concept, play maps, and the construction of petroleum events charts and quantification of risk in exploration ventures.As the first volume in the Imperial College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering, and based on a lecture series on the same topic, An Introduction to Petroleum Geoscience provides the introductory information needed for students of the earth sciences, petroleum engineering, engineering and geoscience.This volume also includes an introduction to the series by Martin Blunt and Alain Gringarten, of Imperial College, London.
