Paperback. Zustand: Good. ANNOTATION: Beginning at the molecular level, The Book of Fire introduces nonscientists to the anatomy of heat, ignition, and flame-progressing from how a twig catches fire to how an entire forest burns. To help readers understand the science of fire, William Cottrell illustrates combustion events that most people are familiar with: a flickering candle, a smoldering campfire, a slowly cooking marshmallow. He uses these illustrations to introduce readers to wildland fire behavior, fire types, and fuel levels-indispensable information for firefighters and fire managers, as well as homeowners who live in the wildland/urban interface. The Book of Fire is a also a good resource for city dwellers who want to know the contents of smoky air or understand what really happened when the local newspaper says a wildfire made a run. A glossary contains the most up-to-date terminology used by firefighters and fire managers.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Greenbrier Chronicles is the story of how I became aware of critical environmental issues, from my early childhood through 40 years of medical practice, to my early years of retirement. In a quest to redefine my personal goals as I aged, I relate a number of personal vignettes that I believe are pivotal to my development, including obsessions with water, medicine and chemistry. This search for my Personal Legend comes to an inevitable conclusion: Climate change and environmental welfare are issues no one should ignore.As an added treat, this story centers primarily in the beautiful Greenbrier Cove of East Tennessee, my family's favorite vacation locale since I was five. It is here that the fictional Think Tank from Alpha Centauri emerges to help elucidate the climate debate. Through arguments made in this unlikely scenario, I expose the debates most contentious issues. Although this may seem to undermine my credibility, the result is raw insight into the most important dilemma facing out country in the 21st century, one that's being played as a chess game without the people's knowledge.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Anesthesiologist are service oriented professionals who make crucial decisions and perform critical, sometimes lifesaving procedures behind the scenes. The absence of drama usually implies a job well done. But after thirty eight years of private practice, I realize there is an important and intriguing story that needs to be told. A key part of this story is the history of how new intraoperative monitors, improved alarms and safety upgrades on anesthesia machines along with better drug and syringe labeling in the 1980's dramatically decreased the risks associated with general anesthesia. In the 1990's we saw an explosion of technology with the internet, cell phones and the early phase of computerized records. We also experienced the end of one medical corporation and the rapid growth of anesthesia services with a new one. The new millennium brought continued growth with advances in equipment, new technology and new sites of practice. The big surprise was a complete takeover of our hospital be a mega hospital system ( Carolinas HealthCare System ) in 2007.Unfortunately, these upgrades in our everyday practice were accompanied by a tragic death of a beloved partner, the demise of the county's leading industry and the incarceration of my oldest son. With all the destabilizing factors surrounding our medical practice, it is noteworthy that some basic principles were immutable. Personal dedication and vigilance remained the core virtues required in our daily practice. The basic skills of airway management and circulatory support with IV access were ever critical to the successful practice of our art. Other skills and concerns at times gained center stage; but one could safely say: 'the more things changed, the more they stayed the same.' So in these 'confessions' I have dealt with a number of important issues; the changes in my medical practice, political and economic changes at the local and national level, personal and family instability, and lastly my own struggle to search for meaning and logic to these events. I think anyone who struggles in their career can relate to the need and sense of satisfaction in gaining that insight.…

Alexander Hume Ford launched this as the official organ of the "Hands-Around-the-Pacific Club" (renamed Pan-Pacific Union in 1912) which he co-founded with Jack London to promote regional interests. They hosted gatherings for leading figures at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hawaii, which Ford had founded in 1908 to revive and preserve surfing on boards and in outrigger canoes. Ford wrote more than at first appears, confessing to London that he used assumed names whilst begging, stealing or borrowing the rest. He encouraged his local business backers to submit factual content for the Encyclopedia and Guide instead of offering them display ads. The content is very rich on Hawaiian and wider Pacific culture, history, and geography, with additional regular features on Pacific personalities (profiling Club members and others), poetry and literature.
