Lights On! - The Science of Power Generation by Mark Denny Johns Hopkins University Press | July 2013 | ISBN-10: 1421409968 | PDF | 264 pages | 31.5 mb http://www.amazon.com/Lights-On-Science-Power-Generation/dp/1421409968 Power generation is a relatively recent concern because humans had little need for sustained power until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Today, modern civilization is wholly dependent on the production and distribution of power. Without it, our way of life would be extinguished. In Lights On!, Mark Denny reveals the mysterious world of power generation. He takes us on a fun tour, examining the nature of energy, tracing the history of power generation, explaining the processes from production through transmission to use, and addressing questions that are currently in the headlines, such as: ΓÇó Is natural gas the best alternative energy source in the near term? ΓÇó Could solar power be the answer to all our problems? ΓÇó Why is nuclear power such a hard sell, and are the concerns valid? Devoting individual chapters to each of the forms of power in use todayΓÇöelectrical, coal, oil and natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and solarΓÇöDenny explains the pros and cons of each, their availability worldwide, and which are in dwindling supply. Making clear that his approach is that of "a scientist and engineer, not a politician or businessman," Denny addresses environmental concerns by providing information to help readers understand the science and engineering of power generation so they can discuss contemporary energy issues from an informed perspective. For those who wish to delve deeper into the science, a technical appendix provides estimations for a variety of power generators. Anyone who is interested in how energy works and how it is transformed to power our lives will get a charge out of Lights On! About the Author http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/ce/45/9229c0a398a0b047ec1b1210.L._V192467999_.jpg Mark Denny was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1953. He obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Edinburgh University, Scotland, and spent twenty years working as a radar and sonar systems engineer in the aerospace industry. He began writing popular science books in 2005. "I was emailed one day, out of the blue, by the editor-in-chief at Johns Hopkins University Press who had read some of my papers, and who thought they would make an interesting popular science book. I haven't looked back--explaining science, in a way that non-scientists can appreciate, is what I do." Mark lives on Vancouver Island with his wife, Jane, and spents his time writing, birding, and homebrewing beer. He is author of a number of popular science books, most recently Gliding for Gold: The Physics of Winter Sports and The Science of Navigation: From Dead Reckoning to GPS, both published by Johns Hopkins.

Also, for ease of reference, each subject-specific chapter is self-contained, affording you the option of focusing on only those features of immediate interest to you. Demystifying the obscure and simplifying the complex, Dr. Gottlieb walks you, step by step, through all of Excel 2010's advanced business and finance functions (with explanations for users of Excel 2007, 2003, and previous versions, as needed), including: - Financial tools, including NVP and IRR - Data mining using Pivot Tables - Charting, sparklines, and other advanced charting options - Data analysis tools - What-if analysis - Statistics for non-statisticians - Accounting functions, including amortization tables and depreciation functions Not just another general how-to Excel guide, this fully updated and expanded Second Edition of Isaac Gottlieb's internationally acclaimed Next Generation Excel shows you how to harness the full power of Excel to help you to perform an array of advanced business decision making, financial, and accounting functions. You'll learn how to quickly create models that deliver accurate, relevant information to boost efficiency, improve your forecasting ability, and perform an array of other crucial business and reporting functions.

Feminism, Law, and Religion (Gender in Law, Culture, and Society) by Marie A. Failinger, Elizabeth R. Schiltz and Susan J. Stabile Ashgate Pub Co | July 2013 | ISBN-10: 140944421X | ePUB | 600 pages | 17 mb http://www.amazon.com/Feminism-Religion-Gender-Culture-Society/dp/140944421X With contributions from some of the most prominent voices writing on gender, law and religion today, this book illuminates some of the conflicts at the intersection of feminism, theology and law. It examines a range of themes from the viewpoint of identifiable traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, from a theoretical and practical perspective. Among the themes discussed are the cross-over between religious and secular values and assumptions in the search for a just jurisprudence for women, the application of theological insights from religious traditions to legal issues at the core of feminist work, feminist legal readings of scriptural texts on women's rights and the place that religious law has assigned to women in ecclesiastic life.Feminists of faith face challenges from many sides: patriarchal remnants in their own tradition, dismissal of their faith commitments by secular feminists, and balancing the conflicting loyalties of their lives. The book will be essential reading for legal and religious academics and students working in the area of gender and law or law and religion. About the Author Marie A. Failinger, Hamline University School of Law, was the long-time editor-in-chief of the Journal of Law and Religion. She writes on Lutheran theories of law and religion. Elizabeth R. Schiltz, University of Saint Thomas School of Law, is Co-Director of the Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law and Public Policy and a contributor to the Catholic legal theory blog Mirror of Justice. Her scholarship focuses on banking and consumer law, disability rights, and feminist legal theory, with a particular emphasis on the application of Catholic social theory.Susan Stabile, University of Saint Thomas School of Law, writes on Catholic social thought within church institutions and as applied to corporate and labor theory. She is an Affiliate Senior Fellow of the St. John's University Vincentian Center for Church and Society, a Research Fellow of the New York University School of Law Center for Labor and Employment Law, and a spiritual director.

Listening In - The Secret White House Recordings of John F. Kennedy by Ted Widmer and Caroline Kennedy Hyperion | September 2012 | ISBN-10: 1401324568 | ePUB/PDF | 12.8/7.88 mb http://www.amazon.com/Listening-In-Secret-Recordings-Kennedy/dp/1401324568 PDF conversion is mine. In July 1962, in an effort to preserve an accurate record of Presidential decision-making in a highly charged atmosphere of conflicting viewpoints, strategies and tactics, John F. Kennedy installed hidden recording systems in the Oval Office and in the Cabinet Room. The result is a priceless historical archive comprising some 265 hours of taped material. JFK was elected president when Civil Rights tensions were near the boiling point, and Americans feared a nuclear war. Confronted with complex dilemmas necessitating swift and unprecedented action, President Kennedy engaged in intense discussion and debate with his cabinet members and other advisors. Now, in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of the Kennedy presidency, the John F. Kennedy Library and historian Ted Widmer have carefully selected the most compelling and important of these remarkable recordings for release, fully restored and re-mastered onto two 75-minute CDs for the first time. Listening In represents a uniquely unscripted, insider account of a president and his cabinet grappling with the day-to-day business of the White House and guiding the nation through a hazardous era of uncertainty. Accompanied by extensively annotated transcripts of the recordings, and with a foreword by Caroline Kennedy, Listening In delivers the story behind the story in the unguarded words and voices of the decision-makers themselves. Listening In covers watershed events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race, Vietnam, and the arms race, and offers fascinating glimpses into the intellectual methodology of a circumspect president and his brilliant, eclectic brain trust. Just as the unique vision of President John F. Kennedy continues to resonate half a century after his stirring speeches and bold policy decisions, the documentary candor of Listening In imparts a vivid, breathtaking immediacy that will significantly expand our understanding of his time in office. About the Author Forward by Caroline Kennedy, editor of the New York Times bestselling Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy, She Walks in Beauty, A Patriot's Handbook, Profiles in Courage for Our Time, The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, A Family of Poems, and A Family Christmas and the coauthor of The Right to Privacy and In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action.

Food Safety Management: A Practical Guide for the Food Industry by Yasmine Motarjemi and Huub Lelieveld Academic Press | December 2013 | ISBN-10: 0123815045 | PDF | 1192 pages | 33.4 mb http://www.amazon.com/Food-Safety-Management-Practical-Industry/dp/0123815045 Food Safety Management: A Practical Guide for the Food Industry is the first book to present an integrated, practical approach to the management of food safety throughout the production chain. While many books address specific aspects of food safety, no other book guides you through the various risks associated with each sector of the production process or alerts you to the measures needed to mitigate those risks. Using practical examples of incidents and their root causes, this book highlights pitfalls in food safety management and provides key insight into the means of avoiding them. Each section addresses its subject in terms of relevance and application to food safety and, where applicable, spoilage. It covers all types of risks (e.g., microbial, chemical, physical) associated with each step of the food chain. The book is a reference for food safety managers in different sectors, from primary producers to processing, transport, retail and distribution, as well as the food services sector. - Addresses risks and controls (specific technologies) at various stages of the food supply chain based on food type, including an example of a generic HACCP study - Provides practical guidance on the implementation of elements of the food safety assurance system - Explains the role of different stakeholders of the food supply About the Author Yasmine Motarjemi holds a Masters degree in Food Science and Technology from the University of Languedoc, Montpellier, France (1978) and a Doctoral degree in Food Engineering from the University of Lund, Sweden (1988). After her research and academic career at the University of Lund, in 1990 she joined the World Health Organization in Geneva as Senior Scientist. In WHO, she was responsible for the surveillance and prevention of foodborne illnesses (including education of professional and domestic food handlers), the development of the food safety assurance system (e.g. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system), and for assistance to the WHO Member States in strengthening their national food safety programme and the development of the risk analysis process. She has served in the Secretariat of various sessions of the Codex Alimentarius Commissions and its Committees. From 2000 to 2011, she held the position of Assistant Vice President in Nestlé and worked as the Corporate Food Safety Manager. In this capacity, she has, among others, developed the Nestlé Food Safety Management system and managed various emerging food safety issues and crises.
