Despite the plethora of available rubber stamps, there's nothing quite like being able to make your own in exactly the design you want. The emphasis here is on doing just that--out of rubber erasers, cork, fruits and vegetables, linoleum, polystyrene, sponges, wood, even crumpled paper--resulting in stamps that are not only unique but generally cost much less than the ready-made kind. Then use your one-of-a-kind creations to adorn vases, chairs, walls, pillows, containers, coasters, desk accessories, lampshades, and candles. The projects are easy and folk-art charming. --Amy Handy

Crafting with stamps.......2000-05-16

I will use this book as a resource.

Ms. Bawden does a great job of describing and illustrating different stamping techniques. She includes information on how to make your own stamps using different mediums such as cork, linoleum, polystyrene, fruits/veggies and sponges. She also instructs on how to choose and use pre-manufactured stamps and tools. She then uses them in many different projects which are very well photographed step-by-step.

The stamping that she does is concentrated on crafts for the home and decorating. She doesn't do anything with scrapbooks. Though she does show how to create beautiful and original cards and stationery.

I've already used a couple of her ideas and am excited to try more.

Book Description

Adam Smith was a philosopher before he ever wrote about economics, yet until now there has never been a philosophical commentary on the Wealth of Nations. Samuel Fleischacker suggests that Smith's vastly influential treatise on economics can be better understood if placed in the light of his epistemology, philosophy of science, and moral theory. He lays out the relevance of these aspects of Smith's thought to specific themes in the Wealth of Nations, arguing, among other things, that Smith regards social science as an extension of common sense rather than as a discipline to be approached mathematically, that he has moral as well as pragmatic reasons for approving of capitalism, and that he has an unusually strong belief in human equality that leads him to anticipate, if not quite endorse, the modern doctrine of distributive justice.

Fleischacker also places Smith's views in relation to the work of his contemporaries, especially his teacher Francis Hutcheson and friend David Hume, and draws out consequences of Smith's thought for present-day political and philosophical debates. The Companion is divided into five general sections, which can be read independently of one another. It contains an index that points to commentary on specific passages in Wealth of Nations. Written in an approachable style befitting Smith's own clear yet finely honed rhetoric, it is intended for professional philosophers and political economists as well as those coming to Smith for the first time.

Customer Reviews:

Design of Special Hazard Fire Suppression Systems.......2005-01-09

As for his previous work Robert Gagnon have written another very helpful guide to fire suppression systems' understanding. The book is a collection of all those fire suppression systems which are commonly installed in high risk plantation and include accurate description and basic calculation design procedures. Even though I consider the book very valuable, I would have expected greater henphasis on halon alternatives, including design procedures.
For all those who are approching the subject the book represent a must. If you are looking for details, better move on more specific pubblications.

Book Description

Significant loss to business occurs through fires in the workplace. Whether large or small, fire causes personal suffering, damage to plant, equipment and buildings, and loss of business.

Fire legislation has changed over the past few years, especially with the introduction of European Directives. New regulations mean that employers have to carry out fire risk assessment and then, as a result of their findings, put in place control measures to prevent loss of life.

Fire Hazards in Industry has been designed to cover, in general terms, exactly what is required of employers. It is written in simple language and considers the basics of good fire safety management. After reading Fire Hazards in Industry, any employer, safety professional or fire safety officer should be able to install a system for carrying out fire risk assessment.

In addition to sections relating to the legal aspects of fire prevention, the book explains the concepts of fire modelling, explosions and combustion reactions. There is also a section relating to common industry fire hazards and hazards associated with electrical equipment. Knowledge of all these topics would be required if a person were to attempt to carry out fire risk assessment.

Throughout the book, past case histories are used to illustrate certain aspects of fire and the causes of fire. The cases used have all been published by the Health and Safety Executive as a result of their investigations. These include; Abbeystead, Frodingham steelworks, HMS Glasgow, BP Grangemouth and many more.

This book will be equally relevant to motor manufacturing as it is to the chemical industry. There are many case studies included that deal with fire hazards that are found in general industry.Fire Hazards in Industry is suitable for those who have relatively limited experience in fire safety and therefore use it as part of their career and educational development, but also can be used as reference material for those experienced professionals who have fire safety included in their day to day responsibility.

From the supplier: An ad hoc civil engineering committee working for a joint government industry partnership has developed design guidelines on reducing internal heat in shredded tire landfills. Shredded tires present more danger than do whole tires, and the longer they remain in landfills or even above ground, the more danger they present of catching fire.

Disjointed collection of thoughts from VC & dot-com execs.......2001-11-24

This book collects "gems" from dozens of executives, practically all in the venture capital or internet space. Each contributor talks about what they view is a key strategy or issue. The book comprises a little over 80 pages of easily read thoughts, some of them quite interesting. However, there is little cohesiveness to the collection of thoughts with adjacent sections jumping across diverse topics. Despite this shortcoming, I thought the booklet was worth the reasonable price.
