Tarun Sormusten herrasta esiosa Muumien luojan kuvittamana!J. R. R. Tolkienin klassinen saturomaani kertoo hobitti Bilbo Reppulin ja 13 kääpiön matkasta vaatimaan takaisin lohikäärme Smaugin varastamaa aarretta. Tove Janssonin kuvittama komea laitos on julkaistu Tolkienin syntymän 125-vuotisjuhlan ja Hobitin ilmestymisen 80-vuotisjuhlan kunniaksi.21.9.1937 julkaistiin Englannissa ensipainos Tolkienin fantasiaromaanista Hobitti. 23 vuotta myöhemmin Rabén & Sjögrenin kustannustoimittaja Astrid Lindgren pyysi Muumi-kirjoillaan jo mainetta niittänyttä Tove Janssonia kuvittamaan Hobitin, josta oli tekeillä uusi ruotsinnos. Hobitin 80-vuotislaitos sisältää Janssonin satumaiset kuvat alkuperäispiirroksista suoraan kuvattuina ja aiemmin vain Hobitin ensimmäisessä suomennoksessa Lohikäärmevuori käytetyn kannen. Brian Sibley kertoo jälkisanoissaan koko huikean tarinan siitä, kuinka Hobitin kuvitus toi yhteen kolme kirjallista jättiläistä – J. R. R. Tolkienin, Astrid Lindgrenin ja Tove Janssonin.J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) tunnetaan nykyaikaisen fantasiakirjallisuuden isänä, jonka pääteoksia ovat Hobitti ja Taru Sormusten herrasta. Muumi-kirjoistaan kuulu Tove Jansson (1914–2001) kuvitti Tolkienin Hobitin lisäksi mm. Lewis Carrollin Liisan seikkailut ihmemaassa. Brittikirjailija Brian Sibley (s. 1949) on dramatisoinut radiokuunnelman Tolkienin Tarusta Sormusten herrasta ja oli 20 vuoden ajan kirjeenvaihdossa Tove Janssonin kanssa.

Insurgent Terrorism

Insurgent Terrorism

Victor Asal; Brian J. Phillips; R. Karl Rethemeyer

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2022
nidottu
Insurgent groups consist of individuals willing to organize and commit acts of terror to achieve their goals. By nature, they depend on public support, yet they sometimes target private civilians in addition to military personnel and government officials. This book examines insurgent embeddedness--the extent to which an insurgent group is enmeshed in relationships with the state, other insurgents, and the public--in order to understand why they attack civilians. Using Big Allied and Dangerous (BAAD) as the dataset, this book drills into civilian attacks in specific contexts, including schools, news media, and nonmilitary/nongovernment spaces designed for the general public. This book goes one step further, presenting in-depth analyses of intergroup alliances and rivalries, their changes and determinants over time, and the implications for several types of bloodshed against civilians. Insurgent Terrorism offers a comprehensive, modern approach for academics, students, and policy practitioners who seek to understand interorganizational relationships between insurgent organizations.

The Phenomenological Heart of Teaching and Learning

The Phenomenological Heart of Teaching and Learning

Katherine Greenberg; Brian Sohn; Neil Greenberg; Howard R Pollio; Sandra Thomas; John Smith

Routledge
2020
nidottu
This book presents a carefully constructed framework for teaching and learning informed by philosophical and empirical foundations of phenomenology. Based on an extensive, multi-dimensional case study focused around the ‘lived experience’ of college-level teaching preparation, classroom interaction, and students’ reflections, this book presents evidence for the claim that the worldviews of both teachers and learners affect the way that they present and receive knowledge. By taking a unique phenomenological approach to pedagogical issues in higher education, this volume demonstrates that a truly transformative learning process relies on an engagement between consciousness and the world it ‘intends’.

DRAM Circuit Design

DRAM Circuit Design

Brent Keeth; R. Jacob Baker; Brian Johnson; Feng Lin

John Wiley Sons Inc
2007
sidottu
A modern, comprehensive introduction to DRAM for students and practicing chip designers Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technology has been one of the greatestdriving forces in the advancement of solid-state technology. With its ability to produce high product volumes and low pricing, it forces solid-state memory manufacturers to work aggressively to cut costs while maintaining, if not increasing, their market share. As a result, the state of the art continues to advance owing to the tremendous pressure to get more memory chips from each silicon wafer, primarily through process scaling and clever design. From a team of engineers working in memory circuit design, DRAM Circuit Design gives students and practicing chip designers an easy-to-follow, yet thorough, introductory treatment of the subject. Focusing on the chip designer rather than the end user, this volume offers expanded, up-to-date coverage of DRAM circuit design by presenting both standard and high-speed implementations. Additionally, it explores a range of topics: the DRAM array, peripheral circuitry, global circuitry and considerations, voltage converters, synchronization in DRAMs, data path design, and power delivery. Additionally, this up-to-date and comprehensive book features topics in high-speed design and architecture and the ever-increasing speed requirements of memory circuits. The only book that covers the breadth and scope of the subject under one cover, DRAM Circuit Design is an invaluable introduction for students in courses on memory circuit design or advanced digital courses in VLSI or CMOS circuit design. It also serves as an essential, one-stop resource for academics, researchers, and practicing engineers.

Combines current data and taxonomic classifications for tiger beetles in the Southeast with stunning close-up photographs, flight season charts, and distribution maps.Tiger beetles are brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats near bodies of water with sandy or clay soils and can be found along rivers, on sea and lake shores, on sand dunes, around dry lakebeds, on clay banks, or on woodland paths. Conservatively estimated, the group comprises more than 2,600 species worldwide.Tiger Beetles of the Southeastern United States identifies and describes 52 taxa (42 species and 10 additional subspecies) of tiger beetles that occur in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Stunning close-up photographs accompany current taxonomic and biological information in a volume designed for a growing audience of enthusiastic amateurs and professionals alike.The authors provide an in-depth description of the anatomy, life cycle, and behavior of tiger beetles; an overview of the various southeastern habitats in which they occur; instructions for finding, identifying, and photographing them in the wild; and the conservation status of various species. The individual species accounts include stunning, detailed images, flight season charts, county-level regional distribution maps, and discussion of identifying features, habitat, similar species, and subspecies when applicable. The appendix includes two species previously found in Florida but no longer known to exist there.The result is the most complete field guide to date on tiger beetles in the region. With more than 230 images of beetles and their habitats, as well as life history and distribution data, this book is essential for tiger beetle enthusiasts, naturalists of all kinds, photographers, biologists, and teachers throughout the region.

Public Procurement of Energy Efficiency Services

Public Procurement of Energy Efficiency Services

Jas Singh; Dilip R. Limaye; Brian Henderson; Xiaoyu Shi

World Bank Publications
2009
nidottu
This book looks at a largely untapped energy efficiency market, the public sector. Efficiency potential in this sector is substantial, but implementing energy savings programs have been complicated by a number of factors, including limited incentives to lower energy costs, rigid budgeting and procurement procedures, and limited access to financing. This book looks at energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) as a means of overcoming some of these barriers in public facilities, since they can outsource the full project cycle to a commercial service provider. ESPCs allow public agencies to solicit various technical solutions, mobilize commercial financing, and assign performance risk to third parties, allowing them to pay from a project s actual energy savings. The findings stem from case studies that identified approaches, models and specific solutions to ESPC procurement, including budgeting, energy audits, and bid evaluation. Such an approach also offers enormous potential to bundle, finance and implement energy efficiency projects on a larger scale in the public sector, which can yield further economies of scale. ESPCs can also serve as an attractive element for fiscal stimulus packages and efforts by governments to green their infrastructure, which can create local jobs, reduce future operating costs, and mitigate their carbon footprint. Lower energy bills, in turn, helps to create fiscal space in future years to meet other critical investment priorities. And, this can help stimulate local markets for energy efficiency goods and services and lead by example, demonstrating good practices and providing models to the private sector.

NAZI UFO Time Travelers: Do We Owe The Future To The Furher?

BEWARE OF THE NAZI "WONDER WEAPONS" IN OUR SKY NAZI SCIENTISTS DEVELOP DIE GLOCKE ('THE BELL") A TIME TRAVEL DEVICE WITH THE HELP OF NORDIC-LOOKING STAR BEINGS "We cannot take credit for our record advancements in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped by the people of other worlds. . . We should think of the craft in the New Mexico desert as more of a time machine than a space craft." Professor Hermann Oberth, Father of Rocketry "We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base of operations is at present unknown to us . . . More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in entering into a closer contact with those powers, and in six or nine months' time it may be possible to speak with more precision on the matter. . ." Wernher von Braun, Circa 1959 "UFOs are not the 'biggest secret.' It is the entities behind them (at Roswell) that was of most concern. . . The entities were not so much interplanetary as much as they were literally also time travelers. . . They are extra-temporal.. . The visitors are clearly from the future. There is reason to believe that they may even be 'us' from a future Earth." Navy Commander George W. Hoover "When WWII ended, the Germans had several radical types of aircraft and guided missiles under development. The majority were in the most preliminary stages, but they were the only known craft that could even approach the performance of objects reported to UFO observers." Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, USAF Project Blue Book Here is evidence that Hitler had a top secret brigade of Nazi engineers working in deep underground laboratories - in conjunction with off world interstellar cosmonauts - to establish space flight and time travel years before the start of America's rocketry program in which the U.S. sought the help of thousands of Nazi war criminals bought into this country under the auspicious of the tight lipped Project Paperclip. Information recently obtained by the authors indicates that the UFO that crashed outside Roswell might have been part of this Nazi space/time travel program cleverly covered up by our military' in order to look like the arrival of an out of control interplanetary vehicle. The top brass ultimately looking to cover their tracks which indicated that they were inappropriately working in tandem with non reconcilable war criminals who had been excused of all evil misdeeds and eventually extending citizenship to. Die Glocke, or The Bell, may well have been used to bend both space and time and give the Nazis the unthinkable power to explore the past freely and even to CONTROL THE FUTURE. Are we plummeting headlong toward a world under fascist domination - a nightmare in which sadistic, jackbooted thugs are waiting for us to "catch up" in time with our own predestined subjugation to open worldwide rule by the Nazis possible hiding out on the surface of the moon or at "secret cities" at the Poles? Do they lie in wait for us as the clock on our freedom runs down?

Synoptic–Dynamic Meteorology Lab Manual – Visual Exercises to Complement Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology

Synoptic–Dynamic Meteorology Lab Manual – Visual Exercises to Complement Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology

Gary Lackmann; Brian E. Mapes; Kevin R. Tyle; Kevin Tyle

American Meteorological Society
2017
nidottu
One of the greatest challenges facing atmospheric science instructors is helping students link theoretical and mathematical concepts to the real atmosphere. The past decade has been characterized by remarkable advances in meteorological observation, computing techniques, and data-visualization technology. However, the benefit of these advances can only be fully realized with the introduction of a systematic, applied approach to meteorological education that allows well-established theoretical concepts to be used with modernized observational and numerical datasets. This lab manual is a tool designed just for this purpose; it links theoretical concepts with groundbreaking visualization to elucidate concepts taught in the companion textbook by Gary Lackmann, Midlatitude Synoptic Meteorology, the most current text available on modern weather forecasting techniques. When used in concert with Lackmann's book and the companion CD of lecture slides, this lab manual will guide students in using contemporary observational and visualization techniques to provide in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts and serve as a catalyst for student-led innovation and application. With topics considered in an order that reinforces and builds upon new knowledge in meteorological observation and analysis, these materials will help students to deepen their understanding of synoptic-dynamic meteorology, synoptically-driven mesoscale phenomena, numerical weather prediction, ensemble prediction, and more, and put this understanding into practice.

Deliberate Practice in Assessing Self-Directed Violence

Deliberate Practice in Assessing Self-Directed Violence

Robert Scholz; Susan R. Hall; Brian Van Brunt; Alexandre Vaz; Tony Rousmaniere

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
2026
pokkari
To help address the suicide public health crisis, this book presents deliberate practice exercises to reduce clinicians’ fears of talking about suicide and self-injury with clients and assessing for risk with skill and empathy. These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a therapist, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The therapist improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The first 10 exercises review skills that can be incorporated into any approach to assess self-directed violence (SDV), such as exploring the deeper meaning behind statements that indicate a desire to engage in SDV, asking scaling questions to assess the likelihood of acting on these desires, collaborative safety planning, and communicating with clients about the therapist’s ethical and legal responsibilities. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these skills into a transcribed session and mock therapy sessions. Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering the skills, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.

Columbia University Press
2004
sidottu
When it originally appeared, this groundbreaking ethnography was one of the first works to focus on gender in anthropology. The thirtieth anniversary edition of Women of the Forest reconfirms the book's importance for contemporary studies on gender and life in the Amazon. The book covers Yolanda and Robert Murphy's year of fieldwork among the Mundurucu people of Brazil in 1952. The Murphy's ethnographic analysis takes into account the historical, ecological, and cultural setting of the Mundurucu, including the mythology surrounding women, women's work and household life, marriage and child rearing, the effects of social change on the female role, sexual antagonism, and the means by which women compensate for their low social position. The new foreword-written collectively by renowned anthropologists who were all students of the Murphys-is both a tribute to the Murphys and a critical reflection on the continued relevance of their work today.

Historical Dictionary of Zambia

Scarecrow Press
2007
sidottu
In many respects, Zambia is an African success story. From a territory whose borders were drawn with minimal attention either to the ethnic geography of the day or to natural features that combined (and sometimes divided) dozens of distinct ethnic groups, rose a nation with a long record of peace that has enjoyed decades of constitutional rule, and even, in recent years, an increasingly competitive democracy. Perhaps most improbably, the country has forged a national identity. Unfortunately, peace, constitutionalism, democracy, and nationhood constantly face challenges, such as in the elections of 2006 when the ugly language of ethnic confrontation found renewed currency. Moreover, Zambia's economic record and prospects have been on the decline. After over four decades, per capita incomes are lower than they were at the dawn of independence, and 95 percent of its people live on less that $2 per day. Despite repeated efforts to diversify the economy, copper exports and foreign assistance are the main sources of the vast majority of Zambia's foreign exchange earnings. And most devastating at all, the AIDS pandemic has already lowered the average life expectancy below 40. For a country one might regard as "heading in the right direction," Zambia has a long way to go. The third edition of Historical Dictionary of Zambia, through its chronology, introductory essay, appendixes, map, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, provides an important reference on this African country.
