A book every single should own........2006-06-27

While another person mentioned that the book was "dated" (it is), it's still a useful starting point. And, Sharon is planning for another book soon that will likely update things to the current state of affairs.

Until I discovered this book, I was beginning to think I'd been born on another planet. The travel industry "spins" the truth to capture a single traveler's dollars. Instead of calling a double-occupancy rate just what it is, travel pros avoid the issue altogether - recommending that single travelers "pair up" or find a "travel partner" - as if this is really what singles want to do. Not me. I specifically want to travel ALONE. I've read too many horror stories about people whose vacations were ruined by being "paired" with someone who:

1) Didn't believe in taking daily baths.
2) Snored like a beaver at a sawmill.
3) Loved to party late into the night and was "sure" you'd feel the same.

And these are just the simple horror stories. Some pairing horror stories are far more complicated - and worth avoiding altogether.

This book should point you in the proper directions to travel affordably while, at the same time, remaining "solo" ... in the truest sense of the word.

A defining moment book.......2002-10-18

I'm a middle aged woman & when I purchased "Travel Alone & Love It" I'd been searching for a women's travel group to join. While reading this book I realized "I can do this". Sharon make's solo travel sound exciting and her tips make sense. I made 2 pages of notes and booked my first solo trip...to London. Thank you Sharon for providing the encouragement I needed to strike out on my own. An excellent read for anyone who's toying with the idea of travel.

Been there, done that.......2002-10-03

"Travel Alone & Love It" is a welcome addition to my travel bookshelf. I refer to it before every trip. From the "idea" of a trip to the arrival at destination, every question is answered. Chapters on Travel Insurance and Jet Lag are especially helpful. As a Solo Senior Traveler I found this book to smooth the path and I am eagerly awaiting the next book by Sharon Wingler.

TRAVEL ALONE AND LOVE IT.......2002-08-25

I REALLY LOVE THIS GEM OF A TRAVEL BOOK. MS. WINGLER SHARES MANY GOOD TIPS FOR THE SOLO TRAVELER REGARDING SAFETY, PACKING AND MUCH MORE. I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE TIP ABOUT TAKING PHOTOS OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, ETC. TO SHARE WITH NEW PEOPLE YOU MEET ON YOUR JOURNEY. WHAT A GREAT IDEA! THIS IS A "MUST BUY" FOR ANYONE GOING SOLO.

Great book.......2001-11-01

Excellent ideas & tips. I wish it was a longer book, though.

Book Description

Measuring the Skin presents all techniques devoted to non-invasive normal or diseased skin measurement. As opposed to other books, this text embraces old and new validated techniques for all skin suborgans and functions, and is ideal as a small encyclopedia since it provides the answer to any question concerning skin measurement. Within each chapter, the meaning of the obtained parameters is highlighted so that the user is able to interpret the results correctly, and each technique is discussed to help select the most appropriate one for each special case. Another novel feature is that the book bases the skin investigation on the physiology and anatomy. A compendium of current knowledge on the structure or function dealt with precedes each chapter. The book may also be used as a research tool. This comprehensive text contains an innovative and unique list of more than 400 physical and biological skin constants, which are all referenced. The clinical dermatologist will also find this text useful as some chapters contain valuable maps and are devoted to clinical scoring of current skin diseases. Measuring the Skin is a resource for all those interested in or already dealing with the skin.

Book Description

The volume Radiological Protection is not only a compilation of numerical data and functional relationships for practical purposes. Rather a comprehensive accompanying text is intended to impart to the scientific or professional user of Radiological Protection both data, the concepts and scientific bases of the discipline devoted to prevention of health risks to man from exposure to ionizing radiations and radionuclides. It contains contributions of experts internationally qualified in scientific disciplines or subjects such as radiation physics, biology and medicine, external and internal dosimetry of ionizing radiation and radionuclides, decontamination and decorporation of radionuclides, physical and biological measuring techniques, assessment of radiation shielding (restricted to an extent being necessary for completion of tasks of practical radiological protection, specifically in the field of lower energies).

The CD-ROM delivered with the hardcopy of the volume contains the full text of the volume and in addition information and data, which would be beyond the scope of the printed version, within the interactive programme SISy (for MS-Windows only). These refer e.g. to decay data of radionuclides or normalized excretion functions for monitoring workers by quantitative assessment of intakes of radionuclides and calculation of resulting doses.

Book Description

Students and researchers in applied mathematics and applied economics can use this introductory-level graduate text. It looks at the current problems of the development of the global economy by studying the dynamics of key economic variables, such as gross national product, interest rates, employment, value of capital stock, prices (inflation) and balance of payments. Validation of the model is attempted using the economic time series of several countries. The constructed models explain the macroeconomic data of nations as dynamic games of pursuit, which are equivalent to "control" problems and are used to study mathematical optimal control of the growth of the wealth of nations. This invaluable reference for graduates and researchers compares the extent of government intervention in the economy with private firms to ensure the controllability of the economy.
