All the Mathematics You Missed But Need to Know for Graduate School - PDF
All the Mathematics You Missed But Need to Know for Graduate School - PDF
نویسندگان: Thomas A. Garrity, Lori Pedersen خلاصه: I will admit upfront that I got suckered in by the title. As I write this, I'm somewhere on the downhill slope of my own graduate studies in mechanical engineering, at a university with a very strong mechanics program. I've struggled in some of said mechanics classes because of my relatively limited mathematics background, so this sounded like a book that was right up my alley. Garrity picks a wide range of mathematical topics, from sets to vector analysis to geometry to differential equations, and briefly covers the main points of each of the fields. He lacks true rigor (even admits it in the preface), but that isn't the point- the book is a survey, and Garrity references many books in and at the end of each chapter. If you find yourself working in one of the areas covered, I would image that this book would be an excellent place to go for an introduction/refresher to the main concepts, and then point you in the proper direction for further study.
From the Boiler Room to the Living Room: The Financial Services Revolution and What it Means to You and Your Clients - PDF
From the Boiler Room to the Living Room: The Financial Services Revolution and What it Means to You and Your Clients - PDF
نویسندگان: Mitch Anthony, Richard Wagner خلاصه: Author Mitch Anthony has been recognized as the voice of conscience for the financial services industry. For more than a decade, he has shown advisors how building authentic, genuine relationships can serve clients' best interests and build heathly—and financially successful—practices at the same time. In From the Boiler Room to the Living Room , Mitch examines where the financial services industry has failed in the past, and what it needs to do to restore trust at both the individual and industry levels. He teaches readers how to better understand the emotional significance of the money that clients entrust to their advisors and the struggles they face as they attempt to get "more life for their money." The book also discusses why venture philosophy, funding single moments, and rethinking one's purpose in life is more important to clients than net worth or asset allocation. Finally, it discusses how to develop dialogues that forge meaningful, long-term client connections—in other words, how to stop selling and start listening.
Trauma, Attachment and Family Permanence: Fear Can Stop You Loving - PDF
Trauma, Attachment and Family Permanence: Fear Can Stop You Loving - PDF
نویسندگان: Caroline Archer (editor), Alan Burnell (editor) خلاصه: Fostered and adopted children can present major challenges resulting from unresolved attachment issues and early traumatic experiences. In this much-needed book, the contributors provide a variety of complementary perspectives on the needs of these children and their families, focusing on ways of integrating attachment theory and developmental psychology into effective practice. Examining multiple aspects of work with children who are unable to live with their birth families, the book includes contributions on the assessment, preparation and support needs of children and families, attachment and the neurobiological effects of trauma, effective management of contact with birth families and developmental challenges in school settings. The use of creative arts therapies, alongside developmental reparenting strategies as part of a long-term attachment therapy 'package' are explored in some detail. A fictionalised family, used as a working example throughout Part 2, brings practical interventions to life: illustrating the Family Futures' inclusive approach, where adoptive and foster parents become pivotal members of the therapeutic team. In addition, contributions from real-life user families illustrate some of the challenges they face and demonstrate how the developmental attachment-based approach has worked for them. Bringing together a rich and innovative selection of ideas for adoption and fostering practice across the disciplines, this book will be a valuable resource for all involved in supporting substitute families.
Planet Earth: 25 Environmental Projects You Can Build Yourself - PDF
Planet Earth: 25 Environmental Projects You Can Build Yourself - PDF
نویسندگان: Kathleen Reilly خلاصه: There were several "early environmentalists," including Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. They were the early pioneers and not always taken seriously, but now there are many people and organizations that are interested in protecting our environment. Young people today realize that "we're woven into the environment just as much as a leaf on a tree or the soil we walk on" and there are many little things we can do to help. In this book you'll learn about the Earth and our place in it, biome facts, Earth's atmosphere, the stratosphere, the sun, plant and animal species on Earth, pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, endangered species, how to recycle and how the environment balances itself. There are projects interspersed in these pages relative to the dialogue. The author does try to impress upon the reader "to be aware of the materials you use" and encourages environmental awareness throughout the text. Among the many projects you can do include: Make Your Own Whole World Granola Make Your Own Tullgren Funnel Make Your Own Wind-Powered Bubble Machine Make Your Own Plant-Oxygen Experiment Make Your Own Giant Air Blaster Make Your Own Water-Testing Experiment Make Your Own Backyard Pond Make Your Own Miniature Water Cycle Make Your Own Terrarium Make Your Own Solar-Powered Oven Make Your Own Pocket Sundial Make Your Own Sunflower House Make Your Own Pond Exploration Kit Make Your Own Mini Food Chain Make Your Own Butterfly Feeder make Your Own Chemical-Free, Insect-Repelling Dog Collar Make Your Own Ladybug Home Make Your Own Garbage Picker-Upper Make Your Own Global Warming in a Jar Propagate Your Own Tree Make Your Own Ozone Hole Magic Trick Make Your Own Hydroponic Planter Make Your Own Endangered Animal T-Shirt Make Your Own Food Supply Experiment Make Your Own Naturally Dyed Shopping Tote Make Your Own Worm Castle Make Your Own Scratch-and-Sniff Recycled Paper Make Your Own Environment Charm Bracelet Make Your Own "Bring the Earth Back Into Balance" Game I've been looking at this book for over a month and marveling at the amazing information packed inside. This book was printed on "100% recycled paper" by a member of the Green Press Initiative and a listing of the resources saved are listed in the front. The inside has no glossy pages and is actually quite dull looking in black and white. BUT, you'll have to travel far and wide to find a more interesting and unique book that not only discusses critical environmental issues, but also provides many hands-on projects for its readers. In the back of the book is a glossary, an index and additional recommended book, periodical, environmental and web site resources for children. Can't go wrong with this book!
You Are G8, We Are 6 Billion: The Truth Behind the Genoa Protests - Original PDF
You Are G8, We Are 6 Billion: The Truth Behind the Genoa Protests - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jonathan Neale خلاصه: Here Jonathan Neale has attempted two books in one - a personal chronicle of the Genoa protests, and a scholarly examination of the issues they were protesting. The former works a little, and the latter doesn't work at all. As a participant among the whopping 300,000 protestors at the Genoa G8 summit, Neale's story from the trenches is an occasionally valuable account of the beliefs of a movement that has been denigrated and belittled by the mainstream press. Especially terrifying are his eyewitness accounts of police brutality against individual protestors, who are given a human face through Neale's support. However, he tends to criticize the various social movements and interests that have come together into the anti-globalization effort for not cooperating and integrating their beliefs, but offers absolutely no organizational or social knowledge that could offer potential solutions to that problem. Meanwhile Neale tends to add a sappy human focus to the protest movement, adding unnecessary descriptions of his personal issues, and for some reason following the love life of a fellow protestor named Nicola.
Second Acts: Creating the Life You Really Want, Building the Career You Truly Desire - PDF
Second Acts: Creating the Life You Really Want, Building the Career You Truly Desire - PDF
نویسندگان: Stephen M. Pollan, Mark Levine خلاصه: Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine have written a book "Second Acts" that lets you know that Second Choices are available. This does not mean that any of your "first choices" were the wrong ones, just that you have a chance to make another choice - it is not too late. The book has numerous examples of people who started their second acts - many times after an unfortunate or tragic event in their lives. Part 1: Setting the Stage for Your Second Act. The first four chapters show you that YOU CAN have that dream you have always wanted. Part 2: Opening the Doors to Your Second Act. These 8 chapters give you numerous topics to review so you can see why and how to get your second act going. Part 3: Opening Night. The final two chapters give you that final pep talk on getting started on your own second act. I highly recommend reading this book if you are considering a job change, including retirement. You might find the encouragement you need to make that decision to step out; take that first step toward your second act. Best wishes, Stuart Gustafson, Author www.stuartgustafson.com

For Your Body Only: Discover the Diet You Were Born to Eat - PDF
For Your Body Only: Discover the Diet You Were Born to Eat - PDF
نویسندگان: Gregory H. Tefft خلاصه: I agree with Dr. Tefft on many of the ideas and concepts presented in his book, however, as another reviewer pointed out, the book is poorly written, has terrible editing and lacks cohesion. Dr. Tefft begins by taking a very scientific approach to personalized nutrition, but then takes a u-turn into what seems to be an infomercial for the latest multi-level marketing scheme. (Check out the website listed in the book and that will further illustrate this point http://www.dragondoor.com ) He lays out a great foundation and argument for why all of the scientific and laboratory typing is necessary for optimum nutrition and health, then abruptly dumps all of that for the "better" and "simpler" testing developed by Personal Nutrition and further improved upon by his own organization, The American Society for the Advancement of Personalization (ASAP). This would be fine, except for the fact that it doesn't provide greater personalization, which is supposed to be the point.

Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two Men, One Message - PDF
Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two Men, One Message - PDF
نویسندگان: Donald Trump, Robert T. Kiyosaki خلاصه: With such an obscure title, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I began reading this book. And, after reading it, I'm still not quite sure what it was all about. That's not to say that it isn't a good book. In many ways, it is. But only one chapter is devoted to the subject of its title, and, while the book ranges far afield, it still leaves much to be desired. The early pages describe how the authors came together, agreed to write the book, and struggled to decide what to write about. Then, in Chapter 5, the authors alternately discuss why they want their book's readers to become rich. Their rational is derived largely from factors affecting the United States and the U.S. economy; more specifically, the growing trade deficit; the growing national debt; the falling dollar; baby boomers retiring without resources; the prevailing entitlement mentality; higher oil prices; and increasing tax breaks for the rich. All of these are seen as either directly or indirectly affecting the American people and none in a positive way. The book then transitions into a discussion of the different types of investors and savers, and the characteristics of, and pros and cons of each. It then proceeds to present some biographical information regarding the authors, highlighting what the authors learned as they were educated, mentored, attended church, served in the military, and eventually entered the business world. Then, beginning with Chapter 21, the authors offer some fairly top-level advice for those still in school, adults and baby boomers without much money, and those who are already rich. Following that, they discuss their chosen field, real estate, and network marketing and owning one's own business. What did I like best about the book? As with all of Robert Kiyosaki's books, this book offers much sage advice and many pearls of wisdom. What did I like the least? I didn't particularly like the format: each chapter divided in two parts with first Mr. Kiyosaki and then Mr. Trump discussing that chapter's topic. In addition, having read several of Mr. Kiyosaki's earlier books, I found much of what he had to say to be repetitive; and, since he seemed to be carrying the ball most of the time, Mr. Trump really didn't add as much to the discussion as I had hoped. Bottom line: This is a fairly good book, but most of the discussions are at a high level. So, if I was only going to read one book along these lines, this is not the one I would choose.
