The 40CFR part 60 is the classic textbook of EPA Methods for determining the emissions rate of air pollutants from stationary sources. In addition to many of the regulations affecting industry, Appendix A of this book details the test methods most used by professional stacktesters. Dry, and highly technical, most readers will find this book nearly unreadable. The odd marriage of science and law provides a useful insight into the confusing world of environmental regulations. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone who is having a difficult time falling to sleep. People who need this book for their professional life should consider therapy.

This book was one of the required texts in our OT and Biomechanics class. I am currently an OT student on Fieldwork). This book contains an abundance of useful information. Although it was published in 1992, it has great value. The 17 chapters are: Functional Anatomy; Wound Healing; Clinical Evaluation; Sensibility Testing; Functional Evaluation; Wound Management; Therapeutic Exercise; Physical Agents & Electrotherapy Techniques; Splinting; Skeletal Injuries; Nerve Injuries; Tendon Injuries; Rheumatoid Arthritis; Cumulative Trauma; Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy; Traumatic Injuries of the Hand (crush injuries & amputations); Returning the Hand-Injured Patient to Work. In addition, there are appendixes that include procedure for taking volumetric, goniometric, and strength measurements. While you do need more detailed for modalities, splinting, exercise, and gonimetric measurements, this book is a helpful review of these topics. The entire book is well-organized throughout( i.e.any subheadings, etc.) which makes it an even more valuable reference and study tool. There are some good colored pictures depicting wounds, lots of black and white pictures depicting various treatments. The book also contains lots of good treatment ideas as well. Case studies at end of appropriete chapters do a great job of tying all the material in a chapter together. I feel this book should be a part of the professional library of any student or practicing OT.

Expertly translated into English and adapted for an American readership by Thomas L. Kennedy, Confucian Feminist: Memoirs Of Zeng Baosun (1893-1978) is the remarkable autobiographical testimony and memoir of the late Zeng Baosun, a thoughtful and expressive woman who recounts her education abroad, to her survival through two world wars, to her life and exile in Taiwan, and even entails cogent observations on President Nixon's resignation from office. An insightful look at nations and history itself from a personal perspective, Confucian Feminist is a very highly recommended addition to Aisan Studies and Women's Studies reference collections and reading lists.

Discovering the Universe is an excellent presentation of fundamental astronomy facts and principles. A major book for amateur astronomers.

William Kaufmann III writes in a clear and concise style, making complex data and theories understandable to the layperson. No sophisticated math or physics backgrounds are required. Yet, he treats complex topics, such as Stellar Evolution, the Origin of the Solar System, etc. in a comprehensive manner. This book will serve as a lasting reference book for your library.

A CD-ROM is included which contains the entire text of the book.

The book is important because most of nature, machines, and structures involve dynamical friction. The preface alone is worth the price of the book, along with a summary of the importance of friction in nearly everything. Excellent technical features are the wide range of simple to complex models, stability versus instability studies, well-presented results, and mathematical
approaches that transverse from the simple to the complex.

"Based on research in recently discovered material--some of which is printed in the appendixes to this volume--Papenfuse's closely argued and provocative work makes a substantial contribution. For it not only outlines the dimensions of Harper's dilemma but also suggests that more contemporaries than we have realized were aware that while their slaves were being impaled on one horn of the dilemma, they were being gored by the other. How else should we explain why Harper's neighbors in South Carolina voted fore him while they continued to buy slaves?"

A great airplane deserves great books and Kenzey has produced one here. Best on the subject I have encountered and I have a pretty good collection of Corsair material. A must for serious history buffs or modelers.

In the books and references pertaining to fireworks, Shimizu is one of the most profound and thorough writers of all time. As one would expect, this is another book worth buying at most any price. Shimizu is one of the most highly regarded writers in the field of Pyrotechnics. I recommend this book for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of fireworks.

Abnormal Psych. by Dr. Comer is without a doubt one of the best textbooks I have ever used. Why? There are a number of reasons.

(1) This book has one author, so therefore the book speaks with one voice. Professors who wish to write books need to heed the adage "too many cooks spoil the soup." I am glad Dr. Comer did because he has written a text that is easy to follow, concept by concept.

(2) With regard to concepts: Many professors write textbooks as if other professors will be reading them. Not Dr. Comer. This text is not only appropriate for the graduate student, the unininitiated will benefit from this book as well. He uses lean prose, simple-to-understand language and synatx.

(3) Dr. Comer's book is very logically structured. He presents each psychopathology, looks at it from each perspective, e.g. psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, existential, etc., then he outlines how each school of thought would deal with the issue. The vignettes sprinkled throughout each chapter are very informative. A nice supplement.

I bought this book in order to get a handle on some of the principles of abnormal psych. before I take a graduate psychopathology course this fall. Not having had abnormal psych at the undergraduate or graduate level, I was looking for a text that would "bring me up to speed," before I start class this fall.

Thanks to Dr. Comer, I'll be ready!

This book contain 14 Chapter in 2 volume. In v.1 the authours detailed the elementary property of operators and operator algebra in Hilbert spaces. In volume 2 the authours investigate more advance results and detail on some concepts such as cross product and direct integral of Hilbert spaces.
