Andy Whiffler—Super Schnoz—is the world's loudest snorer. His snoring is so thunderous that on most nights it registers a 4.5 on the Richter scale. When his powerful snoring penetrates the atmosphere, the aliens from planet Apnea begin harvesting Super Schnoz’s sleepy-time snuffles to power their civilization and create Robo-Nose, a gigantic metal snout, set to take over the planet. Can Super Schnoz, the Not Right Brothers, and Vivian out-snot the mechanical booger maker?

In the mid-1950s, to combat declining theater attendance, film distributors began releasing pre-packaged genre double-bills--including many horror and science fiction double features. Though many of these films were low-budget and low-end, others, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Horror of Dracula and The Fly, became bona fide classics. Beginning with Universal-International's 1955 pairing of Revenge of the Creature and Cult of the Cobra, 147 officially sanctioned horror and sci-fi double-bills were released over a 20-year period. This book presents these double features year-by-year, and includes production details, historical notes, and critical commentary for each film.

In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models', which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. The book is unique in its scope, since (1) there is currently no book that compares the two approaches, and covers all important aspects of porous media problems; and (2) includes discussion of fractured rocks, which so far has been treated as a separate subject. Portions of the book would be suitable for an advanced undergraduate course. The book will be ideal for graduate courses on the subject, and can be used by chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, and geologists, as well as physicists, applied physicist and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.

A collection of significant papers dealing with fractal geometry and the petroleum industry. Contributed by some of the pioneers in the field, they represent a broad spectrum of applications from petroleum exploration to production, and serve as an introduction to the subject. The collection begins with a contribution by Benoit Mandelbrot, the "Father of Fractals," on the Paretian distribution. The substantial (5-page) foreword to the volume is also by Mandelbrot.
