A friend who read the manuscript of No Ordinary American said, as others had, I love your book. Later he said, Ive read it again, and I love your book still more. Why do they love the book written by an old lady who remembers the wonderful stories told by her father in the past? Is it because the adventures of a lively young immigrant who came to the USA over a hundred years ago are amazing and unusual? Is it because they call to mind people and places that they have read about or know? Is it perhaps because he said about the memoirs he himself wrote, If I have said anything negative about anyone, take it out! We all make mistakes? Can it be that, as one reader said, This book teaches you how to be successful and happy? If the latter is true, I am thankful and glad to have set down these stories lived by my father for the readers pleasure and unintended instruction. My father was a good man; his fascinating adventures are meant to provide enjoyment. If they offer more than that it will be to the readers advantage. They were recorded by myself, his daughter, and include, in part, excerpts from his memoirs. Esther E. Hansen
The term “caregiver”—applied to those who provide care in the home setting for the elderly or ill—has become a commonly used term in our language. It is a term encountered more and more frequently in its application to those who have an elderly parent in their care. Statistics show that on any given day at least seven million Americans concern themselves with this task. And their numbers are growing rapidly. Millions of Americans concern themselves with this task every day. By the year 2040 it is projected that the number of Americans over 65 will have expanded from the present 35 million to over 75 million. And the “oldest old”—those over 85—will increase from somewhat over 4 million at present to 14 million or so.
This volume describes the isotopes, atoms, atomic ions, molecules, and clusters of the six platinum group elements Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt. It starts with a compilation of the properties of the isotopes, followed by the description of the formation and separation of the radioactive isotopes. The chapters on the atoms and atomic ions deal with the configuration of the outer-shell electrons, manifested by optical terms and spectra, ionization energy, and electron affinity, as weil as with the energy levels of the inner-shell electrons, manifested by X-ray spectra and Auger electron spectra. The last section gives information on the formation and the physical properties of the plati num group molecules and clusters. Most of the contributions are written by extern al experts (for details, see the back of the titte page). One of the authors (Prof. Y. Cauchois) thanks Dr. M. Othmane for his constant and efficient cooperation in the treatment of the drafts and the checking of the proofs.

This book deals with different types of greenhouses, materials, structures, advanced control techniques and tendencies that are needed for designing and controlling an advanced greenhouse. The control system is presented as an integral system which covers the explanation of basic and advanced concepts for a real time controller. Also, structural analysis is introduced, whereby mechanical design is regarded as a key factor. The book incorporates simulations and experimental results, and utilizes LabVIEW and ADAMS software. Finally, it provides a perspective on the present state and future of greenhouses globally.
Poems that were written through the years for relatives and friends. The author has lived a very full life throughout her 94 years so she has the opportunity to write not only for relatives but also for friends. Researching and writing about Thomas Jefferson, she also met interesting individuals. Hopefully, this book will reflect the expansive nature of her life.
