God Bless You, Joe Stalin: The Man Who Saved Capitalism - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This controversial book traces 20th century history and argues that (1) US prosperity is inexorably linked to the U.S. deficit and has been since the New Deal; (2) Any effort to significantly reduce the national debt will result in a depression that will make that of the 1930s seem like good times; (3) that it was the Cold War and the Great Society which made the American and global economy as prosperous as they are today. Stalin has been accused of many things; add to the list his role as the father of modern-day economics and a major factor in inspiring the US to take a bold course in the 20th century. This dramatic narrative traces the evolution of the concept of the Almighty Dollar against the backdrop of the development and denouement of the Cold War, demonstrating how individual decisions made by US and Soviet leaders affected the course of events. This enlightening and controversial book sets forth the thesis that the growing prosperity of the US during the past 60 years is directly linked to deficit spending, and that the synergy of these two phenomena will continue for the foreseeable future. An analysis of the Historical Tables of the United States Government, showing the tandem growth of US deficits and the GDP, is interwoven into the historical recounting. Furthermore, The Almighty Dollar is not in danger of collapse because if the nations of the world don't sustain the integrity of the U.S. dollar as the currency of exchange, their own economies will collapse. Chapter 1. Evolution of the Almighty Dollar; Chapter 2. The Amazing American Economy; Chapter 3. Beyond Good and Evil: A Different Portrait of Joe Stalin; Chapter 4. The Contradictions of State Socialism; Chapter 5. The Cold War Begins: The Truman Presidency; Chapter 6. The Cold War in Neutral: The Eisenhower Presidency; Chapter 7. Expanding the Cold War: The Kennedy Presidency; Chapter 8. The Great Society: The Johnson Presidency; Chapter 9. The Renegade Republican: The Nixon Presidency; Chapter 10.

Planet Earth: 25 Environmental Projects You Can Build Yourself - PDF
نویسندگان: 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!

Better Looking, Better Living, Better Loving: How Chemistry can Help You Achieve Life's Goals - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: John Emsley has carved out quite a niche for himself in writing popular books (not textbooks) dedicated to scientific matters in general, and chemistry matters in particular. One of his more inspired titles is "Better Looking, Better Living, Better Loving", which has a very unfortunate subtitle "How Chemistry Can Help You Achieve Life's Goals". The subtitle makes the book sound like a how-to book (Make your own mascara! Better breath through home-made mouthwash!) It is NOT a how-to book, but rather a how-it-is-done book. In a wide-ranging series of short essays, Emsley covers most consumer topics that exist at the intersection of chemistry and the personal consumer, including food, plastic containers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, birth control, cleaning products (for humans, clothes, and dishes), etc.The beauty of this book is that it can be picked up and read starting anywhere, and is therefore an ideal bathroom book (especially since there are a lot of bathroom-related topics!) or coffee table book (again, since there are a lot of food topics!). This makes some of the topics a little repetative for someone reading the book cover-to-cover over the course of a few days or weeks, but it's a better choice for a book of this type. I think the science is readily understandable to the average person (although it might be hard for me to judge, being a chemistry teacher), and there is a glossary for more scientific terms and broadened explanations. More importantly, the science is correct and rigorous while still presented in a palatable manner.I think North American readers will notice the no-nonsense style of writing. British authors (at least, scientific ones) tend to be more forthright than their American cousins, and it's especially noticable in this book's discussions on abortion and rape - two topics that American authors would couch in more subtle terms, with at least an acknowledgement of the cultural/moral issues associated with them. Similarly, most Americans are used to hedging their bets: Emsley comes right out and tells people that they are wrong to believe that aluminum has anything to do with Alzheimers, for example, and debunks other "common knowledge" associations just as ruthlessly, if they been scientifically demonstrated to be wrong.In terms of sheer readability, I think I prefer Joe Schwarcz's books that cover similar terrain. However, Emsley's book is more focussed and logically presented. It's certainly interesting, certainly entertaining, and even the best-read chemist is likely to learn something s/he didn't know. Unfortunately, the price is excessive compared to other books of this type (even other Emsley titles) - what gives, Amazon?

OOo Switch: 501 Things You Wanted to Know About Switching to OpenOffice.org from Microsoft Office - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: iii Our Contract with You, The Reader In which we, the folks who make up Hentzenwerke Publishing, describe what you, the reader, can expect from this book and from us. Hi there! I’ve been writing professionally (in other words, eventually getting a paycheck for my scribbles) since 1974, and writing about software development since 1992. As an author, I’ve worked with a half-dozen different publishers and corresponded with thousands of readers over the years. As a software developer and all-around geek, I’ve also acquired a library of more than 100 computer and software-related books. Thus, when I donned the publisher’s cap six years ago to produce the 1997 Developer’s Guide, I had some pretty good ideas of what I liked (and didn’t like) from publishers, what readers liked and didn’t like, and what I, as a reader, liked and didn’t like. Now, with our new titles for 2003, we’re in our sixth season. (For those who are keeping track, the ’97 DevGuide was our first, albeit abbreviated, season, the batch of six “Essentials” for Visual FoxPro 6.0 in 1999 was our second, and, in keeping with the sports analogy, the books we published in 2000 and 2002 comprised our third, fourth, and fifth.) John Wooden, the famed UCLA basketball coach, posited that teams aren’t consistent; they’re always getting better—or worse. We’d like to get better… One of my goals for each season is to build a closer relationship with you, the reader. In order for us to do this, you’ve got to know what you should expect from us. • You have the right to expect that your order will be processed quickly and correctly, and that your book will be delivered to you in new condition. • You have the right to expect that the content of your book is technically accurate and up-to-date, that the explanations are clear, and that the layout is easy to read and follow without a lot of fluff or nonsense. • You have the right to expect access to source code (if applicable for the book in question), errata, FAQs, and other information that’s relevant to the book via our Web site. • You have the right to expect an electronic version of your printed book to be available via our Web site. • You have the right to expect that, if you report errors to us, your report will be responded to promptly, and that the appropriate notice will be included in the errata and/or FAQs for the bookآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
