Book Description

Mechatronics specialists play an important role today. Like a "jack of all trades," these technical professionals know how to install a new machine, make necessary connections to electronic circuits, and design required control software. The result of a union of electronics and mechanics, success in this field requires an understanding of robotics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and artificial intelligence. These topics, and more, are the subject of our new Mechatronics Sourcebook. A "must" for anyone who designs, studies, or works with mechatronics projects, the book begins with a review of basic chemistry and physics principles, as well as key mechanics formulas. Later chapters invite readers to explore pneutronics and hydronics applications, electric motors and relays, servo systems, power electronics and power supplies, and more. Relevant information on microcontrollers and microprocessors, PC interfacing, memory applications, programmable controls and digital logic is also included, providing immediate and hassle-free access to all of the information required for success as a highly-skilled, professional mechatronics specialist.

Book Description

What is the government's proper role in the economy? Do free or managed markets best promote economic development? Who can best pick industrial winners and losers, the government or private sector? This book explores the evolution and results of federal polices towards half a dozen economic sectors. Those policies are largely determined by the representatives of the targeted industry, bureaucrats from agencies and departments that administer that industry, and politicians with firms from that industry in their districts. These "iron triangles" capture a "virtuous" political economic cycle in which they use their united power to grant themselves favorable policies which in turn enhances their power.

Bad Example.......2005-12-27

I haven't actually read the book (which is why I gave it a middling rating), but if that "booboys.com" site is supposed to be a good example of what can be done, avoid the book.

That site is horrible. The banner scrolls far too fast, the navigation bar is unreadable unless you hover your mouse over it and the site is generally unattractive.

In a sister-to-sister, brother-to-brother approach to good health for African Americans, this folksy guide addresses everything from acne to breast cancer, heart disease to HIV/AIDS, prostate problems to sickle cell anemia, vitiligo (loss of brown pigment resulting in white skin patches) to weight problems. Written by and for African Americans, Health and Healing for African-Americans features more than 100 chapters, each of which begins with an anecdote about someone who's grappled with a particular health issue, and concludes with advice from African American health professionals about prevention and treatment.

In heart-to-heart words from former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, whose brother died from a gunshot wound and whose sister was killed in a car crash, and with advice from more than 150 experts from Harvard Medical School, Howard University, Meharry Medical College, National Cancer Institute, and elsewhere, the book sends the message about taking control of your health loud and clear. "We can't be wealthy unless we're healthy, and we can't be healthy unless we're wise," Elders writes in the foreword. "And to get that wisdom," she says, "the information in these pages is the next best thing to having a doctor at your disposal 24 hours a day."

"This book was not very informative at all"........2007-04-19

I thought the book would be full of good, practical information considering it had the input of so many physicians however, it was a great let down because it shed very little light on health matters at all.

I would reccommend the Merck Manual for anyone, white or black who is trying to find out health information on various conditions from diabetes to hypertension.

This book was not worth the money and more importantly did not teach me anything because it was alot of fluff and no susbstance.

GREAT BOOK.......1997-10-18

THANKS FOR A GREAT BOOK, EACH TOPIC WAS BRIEF AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. IT DID AWAY WITH SOME OLD WIVES TALES AND MYTHS.

Multiple typos, basic advice. Fine if you are new to email, but for anyone who has used it for more than a week pretty worthless.

Book Description

Have your players wandered off the beaten path yet again? Didn't have time to map out that castle? Just open Seven Strongholds to find forts, castles, and other well-fortified locations, fully detailed and ready for insertion into your game world.

* The Barrows: A concrete bunker allows a determined troop of gnomes to hold at bay the misshapen monsters of the subterranean world, intent on breaking through to the surface.

* Castle Briar: An elven warlord protects his living castle from jealous rivals.

* Gloom Keep: Under a sunless sky, grim-faced humans protect their senile, maddened deity from the world.

* Old Mound Fort: An iron-age ditch-and-rampart fort, refurbished by halfling adventurers, offers a way station for treasure-hungry dungeon explorers.

* Steelface Point: An imposing dwarven fortress protects the mouth of a mountain pass from the orcish horde and its war machines.

* The Perch: Keen-eyed bird-men zealously guard their domed lair, from which they oppress the area's population of "walkers" - their contemptuous term for flightless humanoids.

* Uthront Fort: Ambitious half-orcs occupy a newly-built motte-and-bailey castle as an early stage of their effort to mold the local humanoid raiders into a mighty and unified army.

Like all Penumbra products, Seven Strongholds gives you material adaptable to any fantasy campaign, whether it be a published setting or a world of your own creation.

Book Description

Shooting a great portrait requires an intimate appreciation of light, composition, and mood, plus an ability to relate to the subject. Sometimes, even the best-laid plans for a productive session go awry. But with the help of this companion volume to the best-selling Creative Photoshop Lighting Techniques, plus the technical magic of Photoshop, photographers will master a repertoire of skills to restore, rebuild, and invigorate their portraits. More than 65 step-by-step tutorials demonstrate how to correct and enhance colors, create mixed lighting effects that once required expensive studio set-ups, and produce high- or low-key styles. You'll get tips on retouching, downplaying facial features, and correcting flaws. With guidance on lens and background effects, isolating and emphasizing the subject, and using monochrome studies, there's no limit to what you can achieve.
