A Dictionary of Neurological Signs

By: A.J. Larner

The first two editions of the Dictionary of Neurological Signs were very well-received by readers and reviewers alike. Like those editions, this Third Edition, updated and expanded, can be almost as well described in terms of what the book is not, along with details about what it is. The Dictionary is not a handbook for treatment of neurological disorders. While many entries provide the latest treatment options, up-to-the-minute therapies are not discussed in bedside level detail. The Dictionary is not a board review book because it is not in Q&A format but could easily serve in that capacity since each entry is a fairly complete snapshot of a specific disorder or disease. The Dictionary is an alphabetical listing of commonly presenting neurological signs designed to guide the physician toward the correct clinical diagnosis. The Dictionary is focused, problem-based, concise and practical. The structured entries in this practical, clinical resource provide a thumbnail of a wide range of neurological signs. Each entry includes: • A definition of the sign • A brief account of the clinical technique required to elicit the sign • A description of the other signs which may accompany the index sign • An explanation of pathyophysiological and/or pharmacological background • Differential diagnosis • Brief treatment details Where known, these entries also include the neuroanatomical basis of the sign. The Dictionary of Neurological Signs, Third Edition, is an indispensable reference for all students, trainees, and clinicians who care for patients with neurological disorders.

Broken Shadows

By: A.J. Larrieu

Everyone has a breaking point. Mina Tanner was once a converter, a human with telekinetic and telepathic abilities. After a vicious mental assault by an evil shadowmind stripped her of her powers, she was forced to flee her home to escape her attacker. Now, she's trying to start a new life in San Francisco, far away from any and all reminders of the gifts she grew up using. But her precariously balanced "normal" life topples as her apartment and her job fall victim to a new luxury development. Jackson Herring, an old family friend and powerful converter, offers Mina his spare bedroom while she gets on her feet, and she agrees…reluctantly. Mina's finding it difficult enough to adjust without a daily reminder of what she's lost, especially when that reminder is six-foot-four, super-talented and gorgeous. When a mugger attacks her and she somehow burns his hands, Mina realizes that despite everything she's lost, she may have gained something far more powerful—and dangerous—than she ever imagined. And when the rest of the shadowmind community learns about it, Mina will find herself on the run once again. Book three of The Shadowminds 93,000 words

Ornamental Grasses and Grasslike Plants

By: A. J. Oakes

The Gramineae, or grass family, is second in size only to the Compositeae, or sunflower family. It is among the most important plant families in the world. The major food crops of the world are found in the grass family. From time immemorial, grasses have provided food and shelter for humanity, domesticated livestock, and wildlife; without grasses, these forms of life might cease to exist. The grass family is large in size, diverse in habit, and ubiquitous in distribution. Earth would be bleak and bare, indeed, in the absence of this life-sustaining plant family. In addition to its economic and industrial value, the grass family has some ornamental value. It provides us with physical sustenance and gives us much pleasure and satisfaction in its ornamental forms. The purpose of this book is to point out the value and usefulness of grasses as ornamentals and to deline:tte their attributes and uses in the home, in the garden, and in the landscape. Ornamental grasses serve a unique and significant purpose in ornamental horticulture. Horticulturists, other plant scientists, and nursery personnel are more fully aware of the value and usefulness of grasses as ornamentals than is the general public. It is mainly for this reason that this work is directed toward the home gardener and the scientist alike, in the hope of enhancing reader appreciation of the roie grasses play in ornamental horti culture.

The Linen Trade

Ancient and Modern

By: A.J. Warden

It is somewhat surprising that the history of so ancient and important a manufacture as that of Linen, and of the commerce connected with it, has not long before this time been placed in a comprehensive form before the world. It is one of the axioms of Political Economy, as it is held at the present day, that "demand creates supply," but, up to the present time, that has not in this instance been verified. The feeling that such a work was needed has often been expressed, both by the general public and by those immediately concerned in the Trade, but without, until now, having the effect of bringing forth one.

This book argues that whole cells and whole plants growing in competitive wild conditions show aspects of plant behaviour that can be accurately described as "intelligent," and that behaviour, like intelligence, must be assessed within the constraints of the anatomical and physiological framework of the organism in question.

Model Emergent Dynamics in Complex Systems

By: A. J. Roberts

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Model Emergent Dynamics in Complex Systems

By: A. J. Roberts

Arising out of the growing interest in and applications of modern dynamical systems theory, this book explores how to derive relatively simple dynamical equations that model complex physical interactions. The author’s objectives are to use sound theory to explore algebraic techniques, develop interesting applications, and discover general modeling principles. Model Emergent Dynamics in Complex Systems unifies into one powerful and coherent approach the many varied extant methods for mathematical model reduction and approximation. Using mathematical models at various levels of resolution and complexity, the book establishes the relationships between such multiscale models and clarifying difficulties and apparent paradoxes and addresses model reduction for systems, resolves initial conditions, and illuminates control and uncertainty. The basis for the author’s methodology is the theory and the geometric picture of both coordinate transforms and invariant manifolds in dynamical systems; in particular, center and slow manifolds are heavily used. The wonderful aspect of this approach is the range of geometric interpretations of the modeling process that it produces—simple geometric pictures inspire sound methods of analysis and construction. Further, pictures drawn of state spaces also provide a route to better assess a model’s limitations and strengths. Geometry and algebra form a powerful partnership and coordinate transforms and manifolds provide a powerfully enhanced and unified view of a swathe of other complex system modeling methodologies such as averaging, homogenization, multiple scales, singular perturbations, two timing, and WKB theory. Audience Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, engineers, scientists, and other researchers who need to understand systems and modeling at different levels of resolution and complexity will all find this book useful.

Box Builder's Handbook

Essential Techniques with 21 Step-by-Step Projects

By: A.J. Hamler

Our daily lives are full of boxes—some purely functional, others purely decorative, but most provide both beauty and a worthwhile purpose. There are many ways to make boxes; square, round, long, tall, turned or bandsawn. In the Box Builder's Handbook author A.J. Hamler presents some of the projects as introductions to specific box styles. Others are standalone projects, but most are an example of a box type, and as part of the project he offers tips and suggestions on how to use the project as a springboard to make additional boxes of this type. Follow the step-by-step instructions and diagrams to build the box of your choice, or build them all and learn a new skill with each new project. And as a bonus, every project in this book will make a great handmade gift for someone special.

The History of Grinding

By: Alban J. Lynch,Chester A. Rowland

An in-depth examination of the oldest engineering process, The History of Grinding begins at the start of agriculture and outlines how size reduction developed over the centuries(without completely immersing the reader in technical detail). Great technical achievements have led to the machines of today, which can grind solid particles at the rate of tens of thousands of tons per day. One certainty is the existence of the continuing need for size reduction to develop and fit the lifestyles of people both today and in the future. Photos and illustrations gleaned from numerous sources, a glossary, reference list, and index enhance the text. Chapters include Size Reduction from the Stone Age to the Space Age; The Science and the Scientists; Hand Stones; Water Wheels, Windmills, and Beyond; Stamp Mills and Crushers; Roller Mills; Tumbling Mills; Fine-Grinding Mills; Classifiers; Explosive Rock Breakage; and Size Reduction in the 21st Century.

20 Weeks Grade 0/R

A Collection of Creative Activities, Developmental Play, Music, Movement, Rhymes, Songs, and Stories for Grade 0/R

By: Dr. A. J. Buchel

Writing this book of creative ideas and school-readiness lessons for preprimary and junior school learners is the result of years of contact with young children and their artistic, mental, and physical development. I am charmed by childrens natural ability to spontaneously create wonderful art when given the material and opportunity to do so. Their astounding physical and mental abilities and play activities led to my lifelong interest in and involvement with small children and their growth toward adulthood. Over the years, I put together a collection of themes and ideas for promoting childrens creative abilities and thinking, as well as their physical and emotional development. Some ideas worked; others did not. Some ideas work for certain children and not for others, and some work for everyone. Many of these ideas I shared with or learned from fellow preprimary schoolteachers; most are my own ideas. All the ideas were adapted to suit the learners needs and also to the available materials. The ideas in this book are exactly that: ideas only. There is no right or wrong way to do anything. Creativity is open-ended; it forms an integral part of the personality of the person creating an artwork, game, or anything new. Therefore, the ideas in this book must be adjusted and explored to suit the moment, such as it might be. Every idea has to be adapted to suit the availability of materials, the groups or individual childs learning needs, their teachers creative ability, their surroundings (life world), their level of development, and their physical and emotional needs. Each one of these ideas can be changed; they are guidelines, not prescriptions. Prescriptive teachingparticularly in art, language development, and free playdestroys creativity and creative thinking because it does not allow for individual creative exploration. Creative thinking, not only in art but also in all spheres of life, forms the highest level of cognitive development, namely, problem-solving thinking patterns. Allowing children to explore their creative ideas through the media of free but guided art, play, and language development helps them develop creative thinking patterns. This book is dedicated to all my friends and colleagues who shared their ideas with me and, in particular, to all the children whom Ive taught and who taught me to see life through their eyes with their clear and honest perceptions of the world. Their artistic play and verbal expression gave us a direct glimpse into their joys and sorrows, which opens the mind to a plethora of new concepts and a new understanding of the world we live in. Every one of the lessons is aimed at school readiness, but the creative activities and developmental-play activities are also suitable for use in junior primary school classes. My hope is that this book will bring joy and happiness to all who use it and, in particular, that it will help the little ones for whom it was written to explore their world successfully and prepare them for the challenge of growing up. Different ATB from AR MS: The book comprises a collection of creative ideas and activities, including developmental play, music, movement, rhymes, songs, and stories for grade 0/R (preschool learners). Every creative activity in this collection is aimed at helping learners to grow into well-adjusted, happy human beings and to prepare them for the challenges of formal schooling. All activities are theme related and serve to develop skills while the learner has fun. The activities prepare the learner to cope in the primary school phase as well as later in life. Every creative activity should be seen as an informal teaching tool. These should never cause stress for the learners but should help them understand themselves and their world better. The book is meant for use by nursery schoolteachers, parents of preschool children, and students.

Warrior. Patriot. Traitor? Jacques Fontaine always wanted to serve but he never expected to lead this band of brothers. Different nationalities, different languages, a collection of misfits. And the world's elite terrorist hunters. Sent to Iraq during the US drawdown on what appears to be a routine investigation, they find themselves under attack from insurgents, the military and unseen forces with widespread political connections. With their careers—if not their lives—under threat, Fontaine must lead his unit through the fire if this isn't to become their final tour of duty. Series praise: ★★★★★ “I read this book in one day! NON-stop action.” ★★★★★ “John Flynn is a far-above average protagonist.” ★★★★★ “The author is a great storyteller.” ★★★★★ “Another Winner from A.J. Stewart.” ★★★★★ “Filled with twists, turns and unexpected outcomes.” ★★★★★ “I'll be reading more... Eagerly.” ★★★★★ “I don’t know where A.J. will march John Flynn next, but I want to go on that adventure!”

Fight to Win

Inside Poor People’s Organizing

By: A.J. Withers

AJ Withers draws on their own experiences as an organizer, extensive interviews with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) activists and Toronto bureaucrats, and freedom of information requests to provide a detailed account of the work of OCAP. This book shows that poor people’s organizing can be effective even in periods of neoliberal retrenchment. Fight to Win tells the stories of four key OCAP homelessness campaigns: stopping the criminalization of homeless people in a public park; the fight for poor people’s access to the Housing Shelter Fund; a campaign to improve the emergency shelter system and the City’s overarching, but inadequate, Housing First policy; and the attempt by the City of Toronto to drive homeless people from encampments during the COVID pandemic. This book shows how power works at the municipal level, including the use of a multitude of demobilization tactics, devaluing poor people as sources of knowledge about their own lives, and gaslighting poor people and anti-poverty activists. AJ Withers also details OCAP’s dual activist strategy — direct-action casework coupled with mass mobilization — for both immediate need and long-term change. These campaigns demonstrate the validity of OCAP’s longstanding critiques of dominant homelessness policies and practices. Each campaign was fully or partially successful: these victories were secured by anti-poverty activists through the use of, and the threat of, direct disruptive action tactics.

But when she and her colleagues discover that she has been the real target of repeated attacks, not her protectees – the president’s daughters – it’s time for her to show the world why she’s called the Freak from Battle Creek. The only question is if her unique skills will be enough to save the president’s daughters from torture and death at the hands of terrorists. It will be a challenge, even for the Freak from Battle Creek and her special skill set.

Nicolaes Witsen and Shipbuilding in the Dutch Golden Age

By: A. J. Hoving,Diederick Wildeman

In 1671, Dutch diplomat and scientist Nicolaes Witsen published a book that served, among other things, as an encyclopedia for the “shell-first” method of ship construction. In the centuries since, Witsen’s rather convoluted text has also become a valuable source for insights into historical shipbuilding methods and philosophies during the “Golden Age” of Dutch maritime trade. However, as André Wegener Sleeswyk’s foreword notes, Witsen’s work is difficult to access not only for its seventeenth-century Dutch language but also for the vagaries of its author’s presentation. Fortunately for scholars and students of nautical archaeology and shipbuilding, this important but chaotic work has now been reorganized and elucidated by A. J. Hoving and translated into English by Alan Lemmers. In Nicolaes Witsen and Shipbuilding in the Dutch Golden Age, Hoving, master model builder for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, sorts out the steps in Witsen’s method for building a seventeenth-century pinas by following them and building a model of the vessel. Experimenting with techniques and materials, conducting research in other publications of the time, and rewriting as needed to clarify and correct some vital omissions in the sequence, Hoving makes Witsen’s work easier to use and understand. Nicolaes Witsen and Shipbuilding in the Dutch Golden Age is an indispensable guide to Witsen’s work and the world of his topic: the almost forgotten basics of a craftsmanship that has been credited with the flourishing of the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century.

The Korean Automotive Industry, Volume 1

Beginnings to 1996

By: A. J. Jacobs

In 1962, South Korea assembled just 1,100 new automobiles. By 1996, this total had soared to 2,812,714. What explains this remarkable growth? The answer is complex, and involves a combination of a supportive State, timely technology alliances, a skilled but historically low-paid workforce, aggressive pricing, savvy entrepreneurs, and fortuitous circumstances. Despite this amazing ascent, comparatively little has been written about the Korean auto industry in English. In the first of a two-volume set, this 11-chapter book seeks to help fill this void by providing in-depth examinations of all six of Korea’s automakers from their beginnings through 1996. Uniquely written from the perspective of industry analysts at the time (without knowledge of the Asian Fiscal Crisis), the book should prove informative to practitioners, scholars, and students interested in automotive history, international political economy, Asian studies, and more.

By: A. J. Arberry

These seven poems, translated by A. J. Arberry in 1957, are the most famous survivors of a vast mass of poetry produced in the Arabian Desert in the sixth century. Arberry’s introduction explains to the reader what was known about the poems and how they came to be preserved and distributed over time. The epilogue particularly interrogates the authenticity of the poems and tracks how they have been transmitted over time. This work will be of interest to those studying Persian and Middle-Eastern literature and history.
