Metallurgy

1863-1963

By: W.H. Dennis

The world's output of metals during the 100 year period of 1863-1963 was greater than in all the previous years of man's history. In the nineteenth century the only metals available to industry were cast and wrought iron and a few non-ferrous metals and their alloys; by the latter part of the twentieth century, steel and aluminum dominated the world, and metals that were mere laboratory curiosities provided the basis for the technology of nuclear energy and space travel. This book records the extraordinary history of metallurgical progress, in which metal art was replaced by metal science. It remains a classic work on the subject. The book begins with an introductory chapter that surveys the entire field to be covered, and follows with eight chapters each dealing with progress in one of the major branches of the metallurgical industry: ore dressing, pyrometallurgy, iron and steel, the major non-ferrous metals, new metals (such as uranium, germanium and cobalt), precious metals, the shaping of metals, and metallography. The book reviews developments in all countries, but American practice - which led the world - is given special prominence. A glossary of metallurgical terms and full name and subject indexes are included. The book is a basic reference work as well as an absorbing history of an important aspect of man's technological progress.

Law and Truth

By: Dennis Michael Patterson

Taking up a single question--"What does it mean to say a proposition of law is true?"--this book advances a major new account of truth in law. Drawing upon the later philosophy of Wittgenstein, as well as more recent postmodern theory of the relationship between language, meaning, and the world, Patterson examines leading contemporary jurisprudential approaches to this question and finds them flawed in similar and previously unnoticed ways. He offers a powerful alternative account of legal justification, one in which linguistic practice--the use of forms of legal argument--holds the key to legal meaning.

Early Naval Air Power

British and German Approaches

By: Dennis Haslop

This book examines the British and German approach to naval air power, describing the creation and development of the two naval air service organizations and doctrine. This work provides new insights as to how two naval air services were influenced by internal and political interventions, and how each was integrated into the organizational structures of the Royal Navy and the Kaiserlichemarine (KM). Both the Admiralty and the KM made substantial alterations to their organizations and doctrine in the process. Principal air doctrines employed are examined chronologically and the application of operational doctrine is described. While they adopted similar air doctrines, there were differences in operational doctrine, which they addressed according to their different requirements. This book is a comparative study about the development of organization and air power doctrine in the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) and the IGNAS (Imperial German Naval Air Service). It investigates public and political interventions and early concepts of air power, placing into context the factors which contributed to how naval theorists came to think about the best means of controlling its working medium, air space. Ultimately, it examines the similarities, and differences, between the RNAS and IGNAS understanding of naval air power, within the broader strategic and theoretical framework of their parent organizations. This book will be of great interest to students of air power, naval power, military history, strategic studies and IR in general.

An Index to Articles Published in The Etude Magazine, 1883-1957, Part 2

By: Pamela Richardson Dennis

Annotation: The Index is published in two physical volumes and sold as a set for $250.00. As America's geography and societal demands expanded, the topics in The Etude magazine (first published in 1883) took on such important issues as women in music; immigration; transportation; Native American and African American composers and their music; World War I and II; public schools; new technologies (sound recordings, radio, and television); and modern music (jazz, gospel, blues, early 20th century composers) in addition to regular book reviews, teaching advice, interviews, biographies, and advertisements. Though a valued source particularly for private music teachers, with the de-emphasis on the professional elite and the decline in salon music, the magazine ceased publication in 1957. This Index to the articles in The Etude serves as a companion to E. Douglas Bomberger's 2004 publication on the music in The Etude. Published a little over fifty years after the final issue reached the public, this Index chronicles vocal and instrumental technique, composer biographies, position openings, department store orchestras, the design of a successful music studio, how to play an accordion, recital programs in music schools, and much more. The Index is a valuable tool for research, particularly in the music culture of American in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With titles of these articles available, the doors are now open for further research in the years to come.

Hired to Fight, Hired to Win

By: Dennis W. Johnson

When it comes to elections, campaigns matter. And despite the ever-increasing role of volunteers and amateurs, modern American political campaigns are a professional affair. Understanding how they are run and how campaign strategies are set requires an in-depth analysis of what political consultants do, from opposition research to public opinion polling and from directing media strategies to mobilzing voters--with fundraising a priority at all stages. At all levels of the electoral arena, modern, sophisticated campaigns cannot hope to be effective without the guiding disciplines of professional consultants. This thoroughly updated edition of Dennis W. Johnson's classic text, originally titled No Place for Amateurs, highlights the growing importance of social media, targeting and analytics, Super PACs and dark money in a post-Citizens United world.

Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! My Adventures in the Alice Cooper Band

By: Dennis Dunaway,Chris Hodenfield

When Alice Cooper became the stuff of legend in the early '70s, their shows were monuments of fun and invention. Riding on a string of hits like "I'm 18" and "School's Out," they became America's highest-grossing act, producing four platinum albums and hitting number one on the U.S. and U.K. charts with Billion Dollar Babies in 1973. As teenagers in Phoenix, Dennis Dunaway and lead singer Vince Furnier, who would later change his name to Alice Cooper, formed a hard-knuckles band that played prisons, cowboy bars and teen clubs. Their journey took them from Hollywood to the ferocious Detroit music scene. From struggling for recognition to topping the charts, the Alice Cooper group was entertaining, outrageous, and one-of-a-kind. Dennis Dunaway, the bassist and co-songwriter for the band, tells a story just as over-the-top crazy as their (in)famous shows. Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! is the riveting account of the band's creation in the '60s, strange glory in the '70s, and the legendary characters they met along the way.

Performance Appraisal in the Public Sector

Techniques and Applications

By: Dennis M. Daley

Performance appraisal is a key tool for meeting the managerial needs of the modern organization. Daley examines the entire process of designing a performance appraisal system from determining its organizational purpose to constructing an objective appraisal instrument for measuring employee performance. Emphasis is also placed on the role of employee feedback and appraisal training. The cognitive behavior that shapes and influences the rating process is detailed. The book integrates the literature and practices detailed in business management, psychology, and sociology with that focusing on the public sector. After an overview of performance appraisal research and the effect of public-private differences, Daley examines the reasons for performance appraisal and the basic mechanics--why?, what?, when?, who?--of establishing an appraisal process. Special emphasis is placed on the role of performance appraisal in the organization. He looks at the array of appraisal instruments that exists concentrating on the development of objective Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales and Management by Objectives approaches. The role of employee feedback and the performance appraisal interview for delivering it are detailed. Daley focuses on the problems that plague raters. Organizational and employee misunderstandings along with traditional rater error problems are diagnosed. The importance of programs for training the rater are presented. An ideal resource for managers engaged in performance appraisal, this book can also serve as a supplemental reading for courses in management and human resources/personnel.

They can run from their parents but cannot hide from that part of them that lies within. In the end they find that having it all means exactly that, for good and for bad.

An Index to Articles Published in The Etude Magazine, 1883-1957, Par t 1

By: Pamela Richardson Dennis

As America's geography and societal demands expanded, the topics in The Etude magazine (first published in 1883) took on such important issues as women in music; immigration; transportation; Native American and African American composers and their music; World War I and II; public schools; new technologies (sound recordings, radio, and television); and modern music (jazz, gospel, blues, early 20th century composers) in addition to regular book reviews, teaching advice, interviews, biographies, and advertisements. Though a valued source particularly for private music teachers, with the de-emphasis on the professional elite and the decline in salon music, the magazine ceased publication in 1957. This Index to the articles in The Etude serves as a companion to E. Douglas Bomberger¿s 2004 publication on the music in The Etude. Published a little over fifty years after the final issue reached the public, this Index chronicles vocal and instrumental technique, composer biographies, position openings, department store orchestras, the design of a successful music studio, how to play an accordion, recital programs in music schools, and much more. The Index is a valuable tool for research, particularly in the music culture of American in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With titles of these articles available, the doors are now open for further research in the years to come. The Index is published in two parts and sold as a set for $250.00.

Project 9

The Birth of the Air Commandos in World War II

By: Dennis R. Okerstrom

Project 9: The Birth of the Air Commandos in World War II is a thoroughly researched narrative of the Allied joint project to invade Burma by air. Beginning with its inception at the Quebec Conference of 1943 and continuing through Operation Thursday until the death of the brilliant British General Orde Wingate in March 1944, less than a month after the successful invasion of Burma, Project 9 details all aspects of this covert mission, including the selection of the American airmen, the procurement of the aircraft, the joint training with British troops, and the dangerous night-time assault behind Japanese lines by glider. Based on review of hundreds of documents as well as interviews with surviving Air Commandos, this is the history of a colorful, autonomous, and highly effective military unit that included some of the most recognizable names of the era. Tasked by the General of the Army Air Forces, H. H. “Hap” Arnold, to provide air support for British troops under the eccentric Major General Wingate as they operated behind Japanese lines in Burma, the Air Commandos were breaking entirely new ground in operational theory, tactics, and inter-Allied cooperation. Okerstrom’s in-depth research and analysis in Project 9 shed light on the operations of America’s first foray into special military operations, when these heroes led the way for the formation of modern special operations teams such as Delta Force and Seal Team Six.

Coach House at Fifty

A Retrospective

By: Dennis Reid,John Maxwell,Tim Inkster,Sandra Traversy,David Slocombe

Coach House at Fifty looks back at an underreported slice of the complex history of one of Canada’s most celebrated small, literary publishers, and particularly the impact of changing technologies on book design and production at the shop on bpNichol Lane in the shadow of Rochdale College in Toronto. Curator Dennis Reid reminisces about ‘The Old Coach House Days’ (1964–66) when the press released early poetry books by Wayne Clifford and Joe Rosenblatt. Michael Ondaatje was an unknown, and the production technology was primarily 19th-century letterpress augmented with silkscreen. Simon Fraser professor John Maxwell picks up the narrative in ‘The Early Digital Period’, starting in 1974 when publisher Stan Bevington bought a Datapoint 2200 and a Mergenthaler V-I-P phototypesetter. Maxwell’s research and teaching focus on the impact of digital technologies on the cultural sector (and particularly books and magazines), the history of digital media and the emergence of digital genres and mythologies. ‘Twin Heidelbergs’ looks at the genesis of Coach House as a silkscreen shop and follows the effect of key purchases of capital equipment as Stan Bevington moved his company from silkscreen to letterpress to offset and thence to digital in the first twenty years. And then lost the publishing arm of the company to managers who thought they knew better, but didn’t. And then fought to get it back. ‘A Short Walk Around the Perimeter of a Heidelberg KORD’ is a photo essay by Sandra Traversy. ‘The Beginning of My Career’ is a frivolity documenting publisher Tim Inkster’s several (unsuccessful) attempts to gain employment at Coach House. The first attempt was declined on the grounds that Inkster was (arguably) too young. The second, a scant four years later, was declined on the grounds that Inkster was too old, knew too much and would cause trouble. David Slocombe contributes ‘The Origins of SoftQuad’, a look at the spin-off company founded to improve automated typesetting at Coach House, but which spun rather too far off its axis after the early death of its president, Yuri Rubinski.

First Church of Mars

A Practical Guide to Christianity for the Interplanetary Traveler

By: Dennis McFarland

This book was not written for the church. There are enough books written that expand upon Christian morals and values. There are volumes of theological works from a countless number of Christian perspectives. A brief glimpse into history uncovers a history of scandal and abuse all perpetrated by the hands of the early Christian church. At this writing, there is a vast Christian subculture with its own art, music, fashion, and cultural forms of expression. Television personalities preach biblical themes of humility and servitude while, at the same time, they purchase private jets and live in ridiculous excess. Small churches are closing at an alarming rate, and larger congregations are getting obscured in the smoke and hype of commercialized worship services. Arguments against “the faith” are becoming increasingly articulate, and media coverage continues to cast a growing shadow over whatever good the church might be accomplishing in the world. In all this, it is easier than ever to be lost. This book is written for the lost. It originated as a result of an epiphany based on an article about the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. Once a year, Curiosity would stop and celebrate the anniversary of its arrival on Mars by stopping briefly to sing “Happy Birthday” to itself. Then, once again, it continues through the dry desolation of the planet surface on a path of discovery. When you stop and look past all the scholarly debate and man-made traditions of Christianity and look at the basic message of love and salvation presented in the scriptures, you will discover a beautiful picture. Over time, the simplicity and accessibility of this message has been diluted and overcomplicated. This book is written for the lost soul who, with a little bit of curiosity, has a desire to discover the simplicity of that message. It might be too late to change this world...but maybe we can change that one.

From Old English to Standard English

A Course Book in Language Variation Across Time

By: Dennis Freeborn

This practical and informative course book is a fascinating, visual volume which leads the student through the development of the language from Old English, through Middle and Early Modern English to the establishment of Standard English in the eighteenth century." "At the core of this substantially expanded second edition lies a series of nearly 200 historical texts, of which more than half are reproduced in facsimile, and which illustrate the progressive changes in the language. The book is firmly based upon linguistic description, with commentaries which form a series of case studies demonstrating the evidence for language change at every level - handwriting, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, grammar and meaning." "Such a wealth of texts, as well as the structured activities and the various case studies, allow the volume to be used not only as a stimulating course text, guiding students through the analysis of data, but also as a comprehensive resource book and invaluable reference tool for teachers and students at all levels."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
