Boundaries: Coming of Age in Two College Towns

Boundaries: Coming of Age in Two College Towns

James C. Stanley

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
BOUNDARIES - Coming of Age in Two College Towns is a memoir written by a prominent vascular surgeon and clinical scientist. It portrays the exhilaration and pain of passing through the many boundaries facing children and adolescents in the middle of the last century. Although those times were often labeled the country's "happy days", there was often an undercurrent of angst in the author's life. Conflict, imagined and real, ranging from his unplanned conception to his father's interference in his medical school application colored his personality. Nothing was easy. Academic success in high school was offset by coming up short as an athlete, and hurtful criticism from a college teacher was hard to accept. All of this became the underpinning of the author's drive to not be a failure. Rebuilding and restoring an old car that was a classic was followed by a horrendous crash, and seeing friends swap comfort for alcohol until death interceded, were reminders of how precarious life could be. The most joyful boundaries surrounded courting and marriage, but they too carried risks. As he grew up in East Lansing, the author was surrounded by neighbors who were professors. That made listening, seeing, and learning easy, with a sense that nothing should be off limits or out of reach. Nevertheless, boundaries made by others were frequently laced with a bias that often caused gut-wrenching discomfort that was impossible to ignore. As college days passed in Ann Arbor, the author dismissed the country's Cold War demand for allegiance and found peace in leaving engineering to pursue a career in medicine. Those reading this book will depart with a sense that how the young cross boundaries as they become of age has a profound influence on how they will live the rest of their days.

30,000 Locked Out.

James C. Beeks

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

nidottu
30,000 Locked Out is a classic American history text by James C. Beeks about the great Chicago Strike. The attention of the world has been called to the great strike and lockout in the building trades in Chicago because it rested upon the question of individual liberty--a question which is not only vital alike to the employer and the employee, but which affects every industry, every class of people, every city, state and country. It is a principle which antagonizes no motive which has been honestly conceived, but upon which rests--or should rest--the entire social, political and industrial fabric of a nation.

Prepper's Medical Manual

Prepper's Medical Manual

James C. Jones

Skyhorse Publishing
2023
pokkari
Be Prepared to Face Any Medical Emergency With This Essential GuideWhile many first aid manuals provide valuable instructions on how to respond to various medical situations, they may not meet the needs of the average citizen preparing to meet a broad range of medical emergencies, with limited skills, limited supplies, and limited or non-existent support from the Emergency Management System and medical professionals. In this color-photo illustrated manual, veteran survivalist and trained EMT James C. Jones did not create “just another” first aid book. Instead, each subject is approached from the perspective of equipping the untrained citizen to provide care for family members and neighbors, under extremely trying conditions, without expert help. Prepper’s Medical Manual includes basic first aid subjects, such as bandaging, splinting, control of bleeding, and treatment of shock, along with those subjects specifically associated with the needs of those responding to true disaster emergencies. Complete with multiple step-by-step response guides and checklists for stocking personal medical emergency kits, Prepper's Medical Manual can ensure readiness for even the worst-case scenario.

Rift in the Democracy

Rift in the Democracy

James C. N. Paul

University of Pennsylvania Press
2017
sidottu
Autumn 1840. It seemed as if the American people had gone mad. Across the land, bonfires and torch­light parades lighted the night skies. Mobs chanted silly ditties to express their purpose-'Tippecanoe and Tyler, too,' or 'Van, Van is a used up man.' The wildest election in the sixty some years of the history of the Republic was inspiring citizens to new heights of humbuggery." So writes James Paul in the lucid manner of modern scholarship that aims as much to communicate as to authenticate. Developed rapidly and logically, abounding in color, Rift in the Democracy tells the story of how a handful of politicians used the question of the annexation of Texas as campaign capital and consequently set the stage for the major tragedy of the Civil War. By sheer power of leadership Jackson had welded a coalition of factions into a disciplined party. But for all his forcefulness Old Hickory had never fully confronted and settled the more difficult and challenging problems of his time. As a result, his successors found themselves in deep disagreement over the matter of public finance, the tariff issue, and the ominous question of slavery. When President Tyler was purged from the Whig Party in 1841 and left politically impotent, a few ambitious politicos used this situation to effectuate a scheme of territorial expansion. It was this scheme-materialized as the cry for annexation of Texas-which fell like a "terrible swift sword" into the midst of the Democratic Party's trembling unity. The time of Jackson was intensely one of vivid personalities. With a keen sense of the dramatic James Paul writes intimately and at length of the leaders­-great and small-whose hopes, fears, successes, and failures were both the inspiration for and the result of intraparty strife and political intrigue. More than other studies which have been made of this momentous period, Rift in the Democracy emphasizes political realities and shows exactly how there occurred a schism within the Democratic Party during the year 1844 which altered the political history of America. Coming almost entirely from primary sources, newspapers, letters, and government documents, this is a revisionist work. But in a larger sense, it provides a fuller understanding of the American two-party system. In order to write this significant study, the author examined the records and papers of not only the leading politicians of the period but also those of the lesser party figures whose names today are nearly forgotten. "It is this latter group," says James C. N. Paul, "that particularly interested me. I feel that I came to know some quite intimately, to sympathize with their problems. That type of experience makes the historian's the most fascinating of all professions.

Running your Machines with SPC: A shop-floor Guide for Manufacturing

Running your Machines with SPC: A shop-floor Guide for Manufacturing

James C. Abbott

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
Finally - a "non-math" SPC book This plant manager's guide explains how to use control charts, and the tremendous benefits that can be expected when Statistical Process Control is properly applied. These benefits include enhanced product performance, reduced cost, and streamlined delivery. Some of the topics discussed are: reading control charts, using control charts, good tools misused, tools for running your machine, benefits of running machines with SPC. Special appendices provide additional information about control chart calculations and plotting control limits. This book explains the role that SPC plays within a well-run factory; it is for businesspeople that want the big picture. After 30+ years of working with and teaching plant managers, author James Abbott has identified the qualities that set apart the most successful and promotable of this group. These managers have an intricate understanding of their machines, they are expert at assessing each component of their operation, and everyone at their facility has explicitly defined duties. These qualities are achieved by learning a specific set of holistic skills. The most powerful weapon in the plant manager's arsenal is Statistical Process Control (SPC). You don't need to be a math genius to harness the full power of SPC, but you do need to understand the role of engineers, quality professionals, and operators and how each fits within a well-run manufacturing facility. Promotable plant managers know WHO uses control charts and who uses capability studies WHAT Operations should be focusing on (hint: it isn't the product ) WHEN tacticians vs. strategists should be making decisions WHERE results should be posted WHY SPC improves performance, cuts cost, and streamlines delivery HOW to quickly benefit using SPC This book provides a unique opportunity for plant managers to study the interrelationships necessary to take full advantage of Statistical Process Control. Mr. Abbott's practical experience has shown that by adding decision-making, accountability, and knowledge base tools to the traditional control charts and capability studies, improvements are more quickly attained and more easily sustained. Running Your Machines with SPC explains how and why to use control charts. In addition to the conventional control charts and capability studies, you will be introduced to bonus tools like the Walkabout(R) Dependency Diagram. You will practice plotting readings on a control chart and learn what the data is saying about the process. Finally, you will follow along as a fictional candy company tries to implement SPC, but misuses some good tools. When the candy company correctly uses SPC, the benefits are immediately evident.
