Ask yourself this: Are my home and loved ones safe from floods? Most people know that levees are structures built near rivers and lakes to reduce the risk of flooding. But what does it mean to live behind a levee? How much protection does a levee really provide? What do you need to know to remain as safe as possible? So, You Live Behind a Levee! was created to help answer your questions about levees and their associated risk. Most importantly, it is intended to help you act now to better protect yourself against future flood threats.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Coastal Dynamics Conference, held in Barcelona, Spain, April 4-8, 2005. Sponsored by Laboratori D.enginyeria Martima Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. Supported by International Centre for Coastal Resources Research; E.T.S. D'enginyers de Camins, Canals i Ports de Barcelona; D.G. de Investigacion, Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia; D.G. de Costas, Ministerio de Medio Ambiente; Dursi, Generalitat de Catalunya; Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. With cooperation of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 118 papers comprising a valuable source of information on coastal dynamics from the latest research to the newest engineering applications. Coastal zones are fragile environments that support many conflicting uses, particularly in developed countries. To diagnose and mitigate problems, the complex dynamics of coastal zones, especially processes and scales, must be carefully analyzed. These papers investigate the coexistence of scales and the roles they play in episodic events. Topics include: bed/suspended fluxes, coarse to silt sediments, morphodynamics in various environments, sediment fluxes with and without structures, and the interaction with climactic drivers and coastal structures at various scales.

Rivers have always shaped the development of human society, their flows of water and sediment influencing food production, transportation, industrial activity, and power generation. Extreme flows that cause flood and drought, erosion, and sedimentation have brought widespread damage and untold misery. Since ancient times, people have known that river flows transport sediment, but not until the start of the twentieth century did engineers and scientists begin to understand the complex interaction of flowing water and sediment. In this biography, Robert Ettema and Cornelia Mutel engagingly describe the work of one man —Hans Albert Einstein— and his search to understand and unravel the complexities of rivers. The son of Albert Einstein, Hans Albert developed theoretical insights and practical methods that helped lay groundwork for our current understanding of how flowing water transports sediment. Hans Albert's career was shaped by his early life and formal education in Switzerland, his move to the United States in the 1930s, and growing U.S. concerns about an array of sediment problems. The dynamic relationship with his famous father was played out against a backdrop of family quarrels and illness and political tensions. Though working in different fields of science, Hans Albert and Albert each stood at a scientific frontier. This shared circumstance enriched their relationship. Hans Albert Einstein: His Life as a Pioneering Engineer is a chronological walk through Hans Albert's life and his contributions to our understanding of river behavior. It includes the first published discussion of his personal interactions with his parents and brother, as well as his relationships with his wives and children. These details of family life parallel the examination of Hans Albert's search for formulas relating sediment transport and water flow in rivers. Hans Albert's research is positioned within the broader history of river engineering. This book gives a taste of the centuries-old efforts to define order in river behavior. Such efforts continue to the present day.
