The island of Aranmor is a land where forces of nature battle themselves. Many believe there is more to this enigmatic place than ruins and rumbling volcanoes.

One popular tale claims the Kadaena, a fallen Empress from the First Era, has risen again and prepares her resurrected armies for some final, shocking revenge.Most adventurers consider this unexplored isle too risky a journey.

Die Mehrzahl aller Häuser ist von Feuchtigkeitsschäden befallen. Trotzdem ist das ein Tabu-Thema und die eigentlich notwendige Schadensbeseitigung wird gern vor sich her geschoben oder durch unzulängliche Schönheitskorrekturen vertuscht. Ein gefährliches Verhalten, dessen Auswirkung an die (Bau-)Substanz gehen und zu ganz erheblichen, in ihrer Höhe eigentlich unnötigen Sanierungskosten führen wird. Vor allem dann, wenn der Hausbesitzer zusätzlich auch noch in die Hände dubioser Schadensbeseitiger fällt! Dieses Buch hilft: es zeigt dem Bauherrn bzw. Hausbesitzer, wie man die verschiedenen Arten von Feuchtigkeitsschäden erkennen und in ihrem Ausmaß besser einschätzen kann. Es zeigt an realen Beispielen sowohl die zu ergreifenden Maßnahmen als auch die Gefahren bei deren Unterlassung auf. Ganz wichtig ist in diesem Zusammenhang das Anliegen des Autors, den Leser bei jeder Gelegenheit auf mögliche Leistungsmängel bzw. nutzloses oder sogar betrügerisches Handeln bei der Schadensbeseitigung aufmerksam zu machen. Allein dieser Aspekt macht den Kauf des Buches bereits zu einem großen Gewinn. Inhaltsübersicht (gekürzt): Woher kommt Feuchtigkeit? Falsches Lüften und Heizen.

Welcome to Gospel, Idaho, where everyone knows that there are two universal truths. First, God did His best work when He created the Sawtooth Wilderness Area. Second, every sin known to heaven and earth—from the hole in the ozone to alien abductions—is all California's fault. This is the story of what happened when a Californian came to visit . . . Hope Spencer knows wacky: as a writer for The Weekly News of the Universe she's "spotted" Bigfoot, Elvis, and the face of Jesus on a tortilla. Arriving in Gospel hoping for some peace and quiet and normal . . . she quickly figures out that there's nothing normal going on in Gospel. From the Barnes sisters with their color-coordinated hair, to the toilet-tossing sportsmen . . . to the murder victim whose body had been found in her house years before, the Gospel truth really is stranger than fiction—even tabloid fiction. Hell, she should have stayed in L.A. And then there's local sheriff Dylan Taber. He's no made-up character from one of her stories. She could never create anything that good. Dylan's all too real . . . and soon Hope is forced to face the awful truth—she's been too long without a man. But once she gets wind of a Hollywood actress somehow mixed up in Dylan's life, Hope realizes that if they are to have any chance together, he has some true confessing to do.

Silken Words Carry Death as Surely as a Katana. Far from the fields of war, the Great Clans of Rokugan struggle against each other behind the walls of elegant palaces and amidst the theater of great public events. They understand that politics and diplomacy the arts of the court are no less important to their ongoing fight for power and influence than the sword and the bow. But as with war, the subtleties of court play a more prominent strategic role for some Clans than for others. Masters of Court views three such Clans the elegant Crane, the cunning Scorpion and the relatively new and enigmatic Spider through the lens of their practice of diplomacy. One chapter is also devoted to the Otomo Family and their relationship to the Great Clans. Masters of Court features: * New and updated character creation and development mechanics focusing on Social Skills and courtiers in general and the Crane, Scorpion and Spider Clans in particular. * Descriptions of palaces that serve as a particularly important focal points of political and diplomatic activity. * New Exclusive Spells for the Soshi Deceiver Advanced School. * New mechanics for the Otomo, the manipulative arm of the Imperial families. * Profiles and NPC stats for prominent and otherwise interesting political figures in the Crane, Scorpion and Spider Clans. Masters of Court is a rules supplement and its use requires the Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game Third Edition core rule book.

Published to help the beginning designer through some of the preliminary phases of aircraft design.The nomogram and design procedure described in this book are aids I developed as a result of a design study for «Crawdad» — an ultralight foot-launched motor glider that I hope to build. In the process of learning about aircraft design I discovered the various useful performance and design nomograms of Raoul Hoffman, a noted practical aerodynamicist of the 30s and 40s. His alignment charts were useful because I could obtain answers to involved problems in aerodynamics by drawing straight lines connecting the related aircraft performance parameters. With this background, I was inspired to seek a single nomograrn that I could use to make parametric studies for future designs. With the aerodynamic relations contained on a single graph, the calculation could then proceed in a systematic manner, since the answers from one graphical construction would be automatically available as data for the next.An attractive feature of the nomogram is that it is «preprogrammed» so that we dont have to worry about exponents and conversion factors in the equations. All of the governing aerodynamic relations are built into the design of the scales and we can dispense with the tedious algebraFinally, by using a plastic template and a graphical construction technique, we can simplify the task of finding the rate of climb versus airspeed. One part of the template is used to find the gliding sink rate and the other part gives the rate of climb produced by the engine brake horsepower lifting the weight of the airplane with an efficiency corresponding to that of an idealized propeller. Using each part of the template as a French curve having the mathematically correct shape, we can immediately draw the two curves and subtract to find the rate of climb. The intersection of the curves gives the maximum level speed. The template is positioned using the reference points obtained from the graphical calculation with the nomogram. Then, we can use the reference scales on the template to make rapid parametric studies for the effects of altitude, weight, drag, brake horsepower, propeller diameter, and airplane size.The book began as an instruction pamphlet for the use of the nomogram, but it has evolved into the present handbook, with the detailed sample calculation, parametric study and theoretical background. The governing equations are tabulated for the convenience of those who want to program them on a computer and a sample listing for a FORTRAN computer program for the performance analysis is given in Appendix E. However, the answers obtained from the nomogram and the graphical construction of the rate of climb curve are adequate in the preliminary design stages. Although the computer will give greater numerical accuracy, the approximations of the governing equations do not justify keeping accuracy greater than two or three digits.The book is written for the homebuilder as well as for the beginning aerodynamicist. The first part of the book is devoted to practical considerations and is meant to be self-contained. The Airplane Performance and Design Nomogram can be used without really having to understand the details of the aerodynamic analysis of Part 2, which can be deferred until a working knowledge of the design process is established. In this way, the homebuilder or novice engineering student can gain confidence and experience by working with practical examples before trying to study the mathematics of aerodynamics. The book and nomogram will be especially useful as a supplementary text to aid the student with his (or her) preliminary aircraft design project.

Fishes have a unique evolutionary history that stretches back in time more than 450 million years. They are incredibly ancient-older than the dinosaurs-and include the ancestors of all limbed vertebrates living on land, even humans.In __Discovering Fossil Fishes__ , John Maisey traces the evolution of fishes over the course of nearly half a billion years, describing the discovery of their extraordinary fossil remains and explaining what these ancient animals tell us about our own place in the history of life. Combining current scientific information with entertaining tales about historic and contemporary fieldwork, Maisey brings to life the development of armored fishes, monster sharks, and fishes with arms as he reveals the subtleties of evolution's greatest success story.More abundant and more diverse than their air-breathing cousins, fishes today dominate the seas and freshwaters of Earth. Through outstanding full-color photographs of their fossils and of fossil reconstructions by artists David Miller and Ivy Rutzky, along with informative photographs, charts, diagrams, and drawings, we discover a staggering half-billion-year history in which lies our own watery origins.

Systematic formulations of absolute and chemical electronegativity and hardness are analysed among the local and non-local electronic density contributions in the frame of density functional theory. It is analytically proved that in all proposed cases can be founded the proper conditions within the absolute and chemical formulations to equalise. There appears that a new variational concept and term named as chemical action plays the unifying role among the quantum fluctuations of electronegativity and hardness at whatever level of atomic and molecular structural information. The power of these proofs consists in bypassing the knowledge of the total energy density functional. This way there was emerged out the new concepts of HOMO and LUMO chemical actions that neglecting the correlation-exchange terms account as the potential chemical works of the valence shells when exchanging electrons with the environment.As an application the associated atomic electronegativity, hardness and chemical action scales are computed and discussed for each unified quantum picture with the help of Slater orbitals. The so called bosonic electronegativity and hardness characterising the fermionic-bosonic mixtures on valence states emerge out and their associate atomic scales are computed. It follows that they display periodic albeit inverse trends than those expected from pure fermionic behaviour. This approach may be found most useful when explaining the Bose-Einstein condensates and superconductivity of atoms through electronegativity and hardness concepts. Extension to molecular systems is prospected by employing the recursive rules for electronegativity and hardness abstracted from electronegativity equalisation principle combined with electronegativity-hardness invariant.In this molecular framework the unified forms of electronegativity and hardness are used to complete the proposed bonding scenario based on equality and inequality electronegativity and hardness reactivity principles for a specific series of Lewis bases. New index for checking the maximum hardness condition is formulated and applied as well. This way, the complete set of global electronegativity-hardness indicators of reactivity of atoms and molecules for various physico-chemical conditions is formulated in an elegant analytical manner within the conceptual density functional theory.

Over the last decade, synthetic musk fragrances, which after use enter the environment by different pathways, have been described as a new group of bioaccumulative and persistent xenobiotics. This book gives the first comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the environmental pollution caused by several different synthetic musks. Written by a wide range of international experts in the field, the book summarizes and critically discusses the musk levels in the different compartments of the aquatic environment, in indoor/ambient air, house dust, and in addition, in human samples. The aspects of biotransformation and metabolism of several synthetic musks in the environment and in animals/humans are particularly emphasized. Finally, a provisional toxicological assessment and risk evaluation is given. Many, as yet unpublished, data complete this survey. The volume also points out the gaps, the still missing toxicological and environmental data, and in general, the need for further research work in this field. Publisher

<p><P>This comprehensive account of the biological basis and clinical management of childhood asthma and other wheezing disorders brings together all the aspects necessary for full understanding by residents or practicing respiratory physicians or pediatricians. The text reviews the nature of childhood asthma, its developmental and biological origins and its impact both for the individual and for society. Each section brings together the scientific background with practical clinical information, reviewed where possible with an evidence base in mind in order to provide the reader with informed guidance to best clinical practice. The second section is thoroughly revised and updated throughout to reflect the significant developments that have occurred in recent years, including advances in medical genetics, new techniques for investigation of inflammatory processes and for the evaluation of the impact of childhood asthma, additional information on the etiology of this condition, and leukotriene receptor agonists, the first new pharmacological therapy to emerge for 20 years. Key Features&#58; <br>&bull; The only up-to-date text available devoted to asthma in childhood <br>&bull; Brings together the underlying basic sciences and clinical management as relevant to the practicing physician <br>&bull; Supports evidence-based medicine to encourage best clinical practice <br>&bull; Places childhood asthma in a wider social context with sections on teaching and training for health professionals outside the hospital setting and the delivery of care in the community</p> <h3>Doody Review Services</h3> <p><b>Reviewer&#58;</b>Thomas J Van Osdol, MD(Children's Mercy Hospital)<BR><b>Description&#58;</b>This is the second edition of a multiauthored, comprehensive review of asthma and wheezing disorders in infants and children. The first edition appeared in 1995. <BR><b>Purpose&#58;</b>As stated in the preface, the purpose is to serve as a comprehensive international review of childhood asthma. It addresses those aspects of asthma that are unique to childhood. Most books dealing with asthma do so in a more general fashion, perhaps dedicating a chapter or two to childhood asthma. A complete book is indeed warranted and the authors meet their objectives. They challenge conventional thinking and portray asthma as an endpoint of a spectrum of disease processes. They provoke thought and inspire the reader to optimize the care which they provide.<BR><b>Audience&#58;</b>The book was written for all health professionals who deal with wheezy children. This includes general pediatricians, those in training, and specialists who care for children with asthma. A group in particular that may benefit from this book includes allergy and asthma specialists who are internists by training, but who provide care for a large number of children. <BR><b>Features&#58;</b>The book covers all areas relevant to childhood asthma. Among the 18 sections and 37 chapters are sections dedicated to epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, psychosocial aspects, developmental lung physiology, triggers (allergy, viral infections, gastroesophageal reflux, passive smoking,) and management. There are also chapters focusing on asthma on other continents and asthma which complicates other disorders, including prematurity. The references are current and there are excellent flow diagrams, graphs, and tables. Illustrations include 10 color plates and many black-and-white images. The relevance of the color plates to the topic as a whole is somewhat questionable. <BR><b>Assessment&#58;</b>This book offers an excellent contribution to the field. The rare allergist/immunologist who feels that all asthma is atopic may initially be somewhat put off by the language, but the ideas and challenges are solid. The chapters are somewhat short and leave some questions unanswered. The book is concise, however, and the references are complete. I was somewhat perplexed by the cover photograph. Clearly, the overall theme of the book is that not all asthma is atopic in nature. Allergists/immunologists are certainly among the targeted audience, but the choice in cover art seems to be a marketing ploy carried out by both editor and publisher.</p>

\*\*From the bestselling author of \*The Dogs of Babel\* comes a dazzling literary mystery about the lengths to which some people will go to rewrite their past. \*\*Bestselling novelist Octavia Frost has just completed her latest book - a revolutionary novel in which she has rewritten the last chapters of all her previous books, removing clues about her personal life concealed within, especially a horrific tragedy that befell her family years ago.On her way to deliver the manuscript to her editor, Octavia reads a news crawl in Times Square and learns that her rock-star son, Milo, has been arrested for murder. Though she and Milo haven't spoken in years - an estrangement stemming from that tragic day - she drops everything to go to him.The 'last chapters' of Octavia's novel are layered throughout \*The Nobodies Album\* - the scattered puzzle pieces to her and Milo's dark and troubled past. Did she drive her son to murder? Did Milo murder anyone at all? And what exactly happened all those years ago? As the novel builds to a stunning reveal, Octavia must consider how \*this\* story will come to a close.Universally praised for her candid explorations of the human psyche, Parkhurst delivers an emotionally gripping and resonant mystery about a mother and her son, and about the possibility that one can never truly know another person.

Susanne Tietz-Weber analysiert den Umsetzungsprozess der 4. EG-Richtlinie. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht die Einflussnahme von Interessengruppen im Zeitablauf, Koalitionsbildungen und die Rolle des Regulierers. Es zeigt sich, dass der Erfolg von Interessengruppen nicht nur von politischen Mehrheitsverhältnissen beeinflusst ist, sondern auch von anderen Faktoren wie zum Beispiel eingegangenen Koalitionen oder dem Zeitpunkt der Stellungnahmen.

The New York Dolls, during and after their all-too brief existence, were a huge influence on David Bowie and Mott the Hoople, KISS and Aerosmith, Guns n’ Roses and M?tley Cr?e; when they toured England under the supervision of punk impresario Malcolm McLaren, they indirectly caused the formation of the Sex Pistols. Their bassist Arthur “Killer” Kane died suddenly at age 55 in 2004, but he left behind not only the Dolls’ timeless music--and their many thousands of fans and friends--but this memoir of the Dolls’ early years. Arthur Kane was playing bass for the New York Dolls before there even was a New York Dolls. Along with guitarist Johnny Thunders and drummer Billy Murcia, he founded the band in 1971. The next year they added guitarist Sylvain Sylvain and singer David Johansen--at which point they became famous at Max’s Kansas City, rubbed elbows with Andy Warhol and Lou Reed, recorded two landmark albums, unwittingly invented the thing we now call punk rock, and generally lived up to their slogan “Too Much, Too Soon.” I, Doll covers in detail the first sixteen months of the Dolls’ time on earth, from Kane’s first meeting with Thunders to Murcia’s tragic death in London. To read it is to revisit a glorious, glamorous era of high drama (drug busts and brawls with bouncers) and low comedy (how Kane locked himself out of his studio one winter night while in full Dolls drag and tripping on LSD). This distinctive and extroverted memoir of an undisciplined showman is supplemented with a foreword and epilogue by Kane’s widow, Barbara, bringing his full story to light. Never has there been a rock’n’roll memoir like this one--a book that captures the music, the style, and the life in all its foolhardy glory.

As a pioneer in Lean improvement methods, Jim Martin was among the first to suggest that truly successful Lean initiatives are those applied across every facet of an organization, not just on the shop floor. Building on this concept, Martin demonstrates that one of the most effective ways to implement operational improvements across an organization is to approach it through the resource that permeates every facet of a modern organization—information technology. Measuring and Improving Performance: Information Technology Applications in Lean Systems explains how the effective use of Lean project management methodologies can increase the productivity of information system deployment in service and manufacturing organizations. Starting with an overview of Lean and agile project management principles, the author walks readers through the implementation of Lean practices across key aspects of IT systems. Created to provide Lean and Six Sigma practitioners with a clear understanding of the important concepts related to the creation and modification of software to support process improvement activities across Lean systems, this reference book: Details how to apply Lean principles to IT systems on a global scale Explains how to design IT systems capable of meeting evolving customer needs and expectations Covers several project management methods including agile project management (APM), agile unified process (AUP), SCRUM, extreme programming (EP) Identifies the operational issues that can help project execution and those that can hinder it Complete with roadmaps and checklists, this book will help busy IT and Lean professionals discover more efficient ways to monitor business activity, gather business intelligence, manage and analyze business processes, and ultimately—increase overall operational efficiency.

Even if you do not like crossword puzzles, you may end up loving these. Designed for mother-tongue or completely fluent speakers of French wanting to improve their English skills, the puzzles may also be entertaining to English speakers. They are formatted so that each puzzle can be solved in 15 to 30 minutes. The vocabulary gradually becomes harder across puzzles thus increasing the challenge as you progress. Each book has 100 puzzles and each puzzle covers some 30 word pairs (equaling 3000 challenges!). These are truly pleasant, if not addictive, crossword puzzles for language learning. Learning a language is always difficult. To ease the pain, hints are provided in small script at the bottom of each page, though these are selected to prevent an engineered solution to the puzzle. Full solutions are provided in the back of the book. These two features (hints and verifiable solutions), force the reader to decipher a word’s meaning and serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. One recent reviewer of this series noted “As a Peace Corps Volunteer ... this is definitely a fun way to keep up the language skills ... The series has a whole bunch of "rarely spoken" languages, widely unknown to us in the Western world.” Another reviewer notes: “Good teacher as it has words listed below that are in puzzle so the clues are there if you need them.” Public domain translations for French contributed to Webster’s Online Dictionary used in these puzzles may have originated from uncited volunteers, native speakers, professional translators, field linguists and academics (not by the editor of the puzzles). If you would like citation for any translations, make suggestions, note errors, or contribute in any other way, please email Philip M. Parker at INSEAD, who will update this series from time to time.
