Bias, Belief, and Conviction in an Age of Fake Facts
Acting on conviction has been linked to extreme accomplishments and signifcant positive change. At the same time, according to one of the earliest modern commentators on the concept of conviction, Friedrich Nietzsche, “convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies”

Atmospheric Flow Fields: Theory, Numerical Methods and Software Tools
This e-book is a collection of chapters on practical and theoretical aspects of atmospheric flows over flat and complex terrain, with applications to air pollution and wind energy. It is divided into two main sections: the first section deals with atmospheric dynamics, and the second section explains the planetary boundary-layer parameterization that is a key issue for the definition of initial…

Atmospheric Composition Observations
The composition of the atmosphere is a critical factor in understanding the nature and magnitude of processes associated with the planet’s energy balance, clouds and precipitation, biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, and public health and welfare. A detailed understanding of trace gases, aerosol particles, and hydrometeors is challenging due to the combination of their physicochemical comple…

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes, Characteristics and Parameterization
This reprint focuses on the variation characteristics, dynamical processes, and their parameterization methods in the atmospheric boundary layer. The atmospheric boundary layer is of great importance in affecting the weather, air quality, and climate change. This reprint reports new observation findings of the atmospheric boundary layer over underlying surfaces of megacity, desert, and ocean, a…

Atmospheric Aqueous-Phase Chemistry
This Special Issue of Atmosphere, “Atmospheric Aqueous-Phase Chemistry”, comprises ten original articles dealing with different aspects of chemistry in atmospheric liquid water. Liquid water in cloud and fog droplets and in moist aerosol particles is ubiquitous in the atmosphere. Dissolved species from the soluble aerosol fraction, as well as soluble trace gases, undergo chemical reactions …

Beyond Whiteness
The concept of ethnicity, once in vogue, has largely gone out of fashion among twenty-first-century social scientists, now replaced by models of assimilation defined in terms of the construction of whiteness and white supremacy. Beyond Whiteness: Revisiting Jews in Ethnic America explores the benefits of reconfiguring the ethnic concept as a tool to analyze the experiences of twentieth-century …

Beyond Waters Archaeology and Environmental History of the Amazonian Inland
This book is one of the outcomes of the project Cultivated Wilderness: Socio-economic development and environmental change in pre-Columbian Amazonia (http://www.cultivated-wilderness.org/). The project has particularly focused on the previously relatively unknown prehistory of the Amazonian hinterland. Our work has revealed that pre-Columbian settlements in the Santarém region in the State of …

Beyond Waters
Ethnohistorical sources indicate that the Tapajó occupied a large area on the lower Amazon in the 16th century, the present day location of the city of Santarém. Curt Nimuendaju found 41 archaeological sites containing the same types of artefacts that were also found in the hinterland in the 1920s, attesting that the Tapajó dominated a much larger territory
