Residential Indoor Air Quality & Energy Efficiency

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Du Pont, Peter / Morrill, John, PUBLISHER: American Council for an Energy-Efficient Econ, Recent trends toward less drafty construction of homes have drawn attention to the quality of indoor air, which has more impact on human health than outdoor air quality. This book shows that reducing natural ventilation does not necessarily increase the concentration of pollutants in the home. Useful to novices as well as experts, the book begins by introducing basic concepts, such as "infiltration" and "source strength". It goes on to summarize research inventilation, the sources and health effects of major indoor air pollutants, monitoring techniques, and effective mitigation strategies. This book was prepared in cooperation with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and is available to NRECA members through its Washington, D.C. office.

On a Wing and a Prayer: Surviving a Brain Tumour

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fulljames, Cameron, PUBLISHER: Janus Book Publishers, In stark, personal detail, Cameron Fulljames tells the story of his diagnosis of, fight against, and victory over cancer. Assembled from his diaries and written throughout the experience, this book documents the career he had to put on hold and the challenge he and his doctors had before them: a tumor that covered nearly one-fourth of his brain. Faced with the nightmares that accompany a brain tumor--seizures, paralysis, memory loss, deterioration, and death--Fulljames gathers his strength and chooses hope. He faces depression, despair, and overwhelming odds as he goes through treatment, and finds little in reference material to assuage his confusion and helplessness. Fulljames' story is inspiring for cancer patients and survivors, their families, and others who believe in the power of sheer will to overcome a seemingly certain death.

Get That Freak: Homophobia and Transphobia in High Schools

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Haskell, Rebecca / Burtch, Brian, PUBLISHER: Fernwood Publishing, Bullying in schools has garnered significant attention recently, but little has been said about the bullying of homophobic and transphobic students in Canadian high schools. This book fills that gap by exploring the experiences of youth who identify or are identified as "queer." Based on interviews with recent high school graduates in British Columbia, these researchers provide stories of physical, verbal, and emotional harassment in this group and offer insights into the negative outcomes that result from the experience of being bullied. On the other hand, however, these young people were not helpless victims: many learned to rely on resistance, inner strength, and true friends. In the last chapter, the authors make recommendations for handling homophobic and transphobic bullying in high schools and supporting students who experience this form of harassment.

Software Metrics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sayward, Frederick / Shaw, Mary / Perlis, Alan J., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Software metrics is a new area of computer science designed to enable programmers and other practitioners to assign quantitative indexes of merit to software. In this volume, "software" is defined broadly as a generic for all the stages of tailoring a computer system to solve a problem. "Software Metrics" is the first book to survey this new area, measuring its present extent, describing its characteristic features, and indicating directions of potential expansion. The aim of the articles included in the book is to provide precise, quantified answers to such questions as: What are the memory requirements of the software? The speed requirements? What is the cost of production? The likely time schedule of production? When will it have to be replaced? What manpower loading should be used? how close to its limits is the system expected to run? What levels of satisfactory testing are sufficient? How well does the testing environment approximate the execution environment? What is the enhancement cost? To what extent has the problem--of the technology--moved beyond the program? Would it cost less to rebuild the system than to maintain and enhance it? "In software, evolutionary complexity is probably more important than the classical time and space measures with which computer science has been concerned so far," the editors note in their introductory overview. This overview gauges the range of the book's fifteen contributions by the major developers of software metrics.

Tilt

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burns, Elizabeth, PUBLISHER: Berkley Publishing Group, Which could also be the same as saying everything's impossible in this family. It's the tightrope I walk between the Irish knowledge that cookies always crumble, and the Midwestern fact that a sunny disposition can get you anywhere... Bridget Fox's life is full of blessings, including her husband Pierce, a talented sculptor, and her two delightful daughters. But her elder daughter, Maeve, doesn't seem to be developing the way she's supposed to. She doesn't respond when she's called. She doesn't like to be touched, and the slightest disturbance sends her into a frenzy. Suddenly Bridget, who has plenty of experience with travel and art and sophisticated pleasures, is facing challenges she's never imagined. And as she copes with loss, change, and uncertainty-sometimes with nothing to hold on to but Maeve, and her sense of humor- she begins to find a strength she's never imagined...

Regional Politics: America in a Post-City Age

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Savitch, H. V. / Vogel, Ronald K., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Bringing together the thoughts of outstanding contributors, Regional Politics presents a comparative study on the emerging regional nature of local and urban politics. Recent studies tend to focus on the politics and power of internal cities or on suburban areas that have gained incredible strength in the past decade. However, this important volume explores how politics work in the extended metropolis or "functional city"--which includes and surrounds the urban core and whose economy, society, and politics are integrally joined. Contributors center on detailed case studies of 10 cities with a look at the development of regional patterns, an analysis of the impact regionalism has on urban politics, and an outline for an overall approach. The comprehensive and state-of-the-art expertise presented in this volume makes Regional Politics ideal for planners, policymakers, academics, researchers, and students in the areas of urban politics, state and local government, and public policy.

The Design of Animal Communication

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hauser, Marc D. / Konishi, Mark, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), When animals, including humans, communicate, they convey information and express their perceptions of the world. Because different organisms are able to produce and perceive different signals, the animal world contains a diversity of communication systems. Based on the approach laid out in the s by Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen, this book looks at animal communication from the four perspectives of mechanisms, ontogeny, function, and phylogeny. The book's great strength is its broad comparative perspective, which enables the reader to appreciate the diversity of solutions to particular problems of signal design and perception. For example, although the neural circuitry underlying the production of acoustic signals is different in frogs, songbirds, bats, and humans, each involves a set of dedicated pathways designed to solve particular problems of communicative efficiency. Such comparative findings form the basis of a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms underlying communication systems and their evolution.

The Optimistic Child: A Proven Program to Safeguard Children

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seligman, Martin E. P. / Reivich, Karen / Jaycox, Lisa, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), In The Optimistic Child, Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman offers parents, teachers, and coaches a well-validated program to prevent depression in children. In a thirty-year study, Seligman and his colleagues discovered the link between pessimism -- dwelling on the most catastrophic cause of any setback -- and depression. Seligman shows adults how to teach children the skills of optimism that can help them combat depression, achieve more on the playing field and at school, and improve their physical health. As Seligman states in his new afterword for this edition, "Teaching children optimism is more, I realized, than just correcting pessimism... It is the creation of a positive strength, a sunny but solid future-mindedness that can be deployed throughout life -- not only to fight depression and to come back from failure, but also to be the foundation of success and vitality."

Specials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Westerfeld, Scott, PUBLISHER: Simon Pulse, "Special Circumstances": The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor -- frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary. And now she's been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it's easy to tune that out -- until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same.
