Fully revised and expanded, the second edition of Basic Chemical Concepts and Tables is written as a quick reference to the many different concepts and ideas encountered in chemistry. The volume presents important subjects in a concise format that makes it a practical resource for any reader.Subjects include general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and spectral analysis. The new edition includes updated tables that are useful for the interpretation of ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) spectra, and expanded sections devoted to the concept of isomers and polymer structures and includes a new chapter on nuclear chemistry. Separate chapters offer physical constants and unit measurements commonly encountered and mathematical concepts needed when reviewing or working with basic chemistry concepts.Key features:• Provides chemical information in a concise format, fully illustrated with many graphs and charts, ideal for course review.• Supplements traditional exam review books, serving undergraduate or graduate students.• Provides professionals looking for a quick introduction to a topic with a comprehensive ready reference.Graduate and undergraduate chemistry students, professionals or instructors looking to refresh their understanding of a chemistry topic will find this reference indispensable in their daily work.

Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

This fully updated second edition provides an introduction to geotechnical earthquake engineering for first-year graduate students in geotechnical or earthquake engineering graduate programs with a level of detail that will also be useful for more advanced students as well as researchers and practitioners. It begins with an introduction to seismology and earthquake ground motions, then presents seismic hazard analysis and performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) principles. Dynamic soil properties pertinent to earthquake engineering applications are examined, both to facilitate understanding of soil response to seismic loads and to describe their practical measurement as part of site characterization. These topics are followed by site response and its analysis and soil–structure interaction. Ground failure in the form of soil liquefaction, cyclic softening, surface fault rupture, and seismically induced landslides are also addressed, and the book closes with a chapter on soil improvement and hazard mitigation. The first edition has been widely used around the world by geotechnical engineers as well as many seismologists and structural engineers.The main text of this book and the four appendices:Cover fundamental concepts in applied seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural dynamicsContain numerous references for further reading, allowing for detailed exploration of background or more advanced materialPresent worked example problems that illustrate the application of key concepts emphasized in the textInclude chapter summaries that emphasize the most important pointsPresent concepts of performance-based earthquake engineering with an emphasis on uncertainty and the types of probabilistic analyses needed to implement PBEE in practicePresent a broad, interdisciplinary narrative, drawing from the fields of seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering to facilitate holistic understanding of how geotechnical earthquake engineering is applied in seismic hazard and risk analyses and in seismic design
THE BLOODSTONEAn awe-inspiring young vampire country boy Caleb Jackson came to the northern parts of Northern Idaho in search of the Bloodstone that was his lost legacy. What he found instead was a proud and drop-dead gorgeous vampire whose passion soon was matched to his own . . . an indistinct enemy whose evil stained everything and whose murderous bloodsucking vampire servants seemed everywhere . . . hidden from the eye of day of violence, death, and conspiracies where nothing was quite what it seemed and where innocence is devoured by the closing darkness of terror . . .
CSB Harmony of the Gospels is a synchronized reading of the Gospels based on the work of John A. Broadus and A.T. Robertson with each Gospel writer's account of events side-by-side. In addition to the harmonious layout, articles and commentary notes are included to provide deeper understanding of the four Gospels and the harmonized account of the life and teachings of Jesus. CSB Harmony of the Gospels features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible(R) (CSB). The CSB captures the Bible's original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture's life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Tired of fighting a slew of problems that have you spinning in circles? Wish there was a way to just make the whole mess simpler? Then this is the book for you "Problem Simplification: Breaking it Down & Working it Out" will help you learn how to figure out what's really wrong and best way to fix it.
As a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, my sworn duty was to guide, teach, and protect those who served in subordinate positions. In this role, it was critical to provide clear and concise information so that those who trusted my leadership would not be ignorant of the mission or threats. The Apostle Paul gives an explicit command to believers to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."The reader should be forewarned this written work takes an unwavering confrontational approach with the sword of doctrine to pierce and cut away the customs, traditions, political correctness, spiritualism, and ignorance that has infiltrated and infected the body of Christ that is yielding illiterate believers that are unable to prove and defend the faith.Lastly, not all doctrine is sound. Sound doctrine is truth that has been established in Genesis and echoes throughout eternity without changing with the seasons of moral relativism, humanism, and ecumenicalism. Genesis: Let There Be Sound Doctrine is a book written to fulfill Paul's command to educate and encourage the Christian believer in the undeniable truths of God's creation, His identity, and plan of salvation. In this pursuit, physical evidence is accompanied by Holy Ghost revelation expressed in a palatable way so the reader can harmonize their beliefs with the sound spoken from heaven.
In December 1980, Donald Steele departed from Anabel Island, leaving behind his pregnant wife and a deferred legacy. A single planted seed was the only sign he had been there at all. In September 1981, he returned for the birth of his twin sons, Luke and Anthony. The seed he had planted had now grown, branching in two directions. In September 1986, he departed again, this time leaving far more than one seed planted in the ground. In the interceding years, Anabel Island experienced a power struggle borne of a change in family dynamics. It existed under the shadow of a mysterious man, Donald's proxy and collaborator. And through it all, Luke and Anthony came of age in an idyll all their own. Above the Fruited Plain is the first volume of a four-part series that tracks the lives of Luke and Anthony Steele from conception to age 18. This novel contains the prologue and first two books of the saga.
The Making of International Human Rights
Steven L. B. Jensen
Cambridge University Press
2016

This book fundamentally reinterprets the history of international human rights in the post-1945 era by documenting how pivotal the Global South was for their breakthrough. In stark contrast to other contemporary human rights historians who have focused almost exclusively on the 1940s and the 1970s - heavily privileging Western agency - Steven L. B. Jensen convincingly argues that it was in the 1960s that universal human rights had their breakthrough. This is a ground-breaking work that places race and religion at the center of these developments and focuses on a core group of states who led the human rights breakthrough, namely Jamaica, Liberia, Ghana, and the Philippines. They transformed the norms upon which the international community today is built. Their efforts in the 1960s post-colonial moment laid the foundation - in profound and surprising ways - for the so-called human rights revolution in the 1970s, when Western activists and states began to embrace human rights.
