Book Description: Churchill called it a Renaissance tragedy. Indeed, before Count Ciano's execution by Mussolini, his father-in-law, now head of the Italian Social Republic, only two women attempted his rescue. His wife, Edda, who defied her father, and a female Nazi secret agent, Frau Betz, who loved him. Between history and fiction, in the struggle for Ciano's life and his diaries, an indictment of Hitler and Ribbentrop's treacheries, is also the son of a cockney musician and a Roman noblewoman. Carlo Rufus Williams, a cavalry major, a letterato, and a broadcaster in civilian life, joins the Resistance after King Victor Emmanuel III and the Italian warlords abandon Rome to the brutality of the German forces. With sensuous, leftist, aristocratic Mirta della Rovere, he fights back until a street attack provokes a Nazi massacre in reprisal.

She struggles to make her marriage work despite the ever-present shadow of Lurania, Millard's mother, and Herbert, his first cousin. Nettie resolves to be a good wife, but plans to leave as soon as she has the money. Faced with an insolent Depression and Millard's intermittent rages, Nettie plans a new life for her children as she conceals her own.

Mechanics plays a fundamental role in aeolian processes and other environmental studies. This proposed book systematically presents the new progress in the research of aeolian processes, especially in the research on mechanism, theoretical modelling and computational simulation of aeolian processes from the viewpoint of mechanics. Nowadays, environmental and aeolian process related problems are attracting more and more attention. We hope this proposed book will provide scientists and graduate students in aeolian research and other environmental research some mechanical methods and principles and introduce aeolian related problems of environment to mathematical and mechanical scientists.
