This book illuminates advanced cutting and joining processes, what they are used for, and the capabilities of these manufacturing techniques, especially in micro- and nano-fabrication. The authors illustrate the use of water jets and lasers that can be used to cut highly complex shapes without leaving burrs of heat affected zones, as well as friction stir welding processes that were not possible in the past. Rounding out their examination, the authors describe in detail the use of additive manufacturing for fabrication of micro and nano-scale components and the direction of future research. Incorporating many examples from industry, the book is ideal for professional engineers, technicians, and fabrication managers in multiple industries. Maximizes understanding of advanced manufacturing processes and their capabilities, as well as the limitations of each of these technologies; Explains use of contactless manufacturing processes in applications such as electronics and sensor fabrication; Serves as a ready reference on the latest cutting and joining technologies, including those at the micro- and nano-scale.
This book speaks directly to issues of equity and school transformation, and shows how one indigenous minority teachers' group engaged in a process of transforming schooling in their community. Documented in one small locale far-removed from mainstream America, the personal narratives by Yupík Eskimo teachers address the very heart of school reform. The teachers' struggles portray the first in a series of steps through which a group of Yupík teachers and university colleagues began a slow process of reconciling cultural differences and conflict between the culture of the school and the culture of the community. The story told in this book goes well beyond documenting individual narratives, by providing examples and insights for others who are involved in creating culturally responsive education that fundamentally changes the role and relationship of teachers and community to schooling.
This account of Thomas Sheridan's career as theater manager has been based on biographies written by his contemporaries, on 18th-century newspapers and pamphlets, and on letters written to and by Sheridan.

Most of the material in the Calendar has not been collected before and should be invaluable to theater historians. Originally published in 1967.

The winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics upend the most common assumptions about how economics works in this gripping and disruptive portrait of how poor people actually live. Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two award-winning MIT professors, answer these questions based on years of field research from around the world. Called "marvelous, rewarding" by the Wall Street Journal, the book offers a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty and an intimate view of life on 99 cents a day. Poor Economics shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.

Conflict, Heritage and World-Making in the Chaco documents and interprets the physical remains and afterlives of the Chaco War (1932–35) – known as South America’s first ‘modern’ armed conflict – in what is now present-day Paraguay. It focuses not only on archaeological remains as conventionally understood, but takes an ontological approach to heterogeneous assemblages of objects, texts, practices and landscapes shaped by industrial war and people’s past and present engagements with them. These assemblages could be understood to constitute a ‘dark heritage’, the debris of a failed modernity. Yet it is clear that they are not simply dead memorials to this bloody war, but have been, and continue to be active in making, unmaking and remaking worlds – both for the participants and spectators of the war itself, as well as those who continue to occupy and live amongst the vast accretions of war matériel which persist in the present.
This volume of the Sports She Wrote series showcases a collection of fictional works by pioneering women authors who creatively incorporated the rising popularity of cycling into their narratives between 1882 and 1885 (118,000 words). While the stories do not offer substantial technical insights into cycling, they intricately weave tricycles and bicycles into tales of exploration, self-discovery, and personal freedom. A notable contributor is M. H. Catherwood, renowned for her romantic historical novels. Her serialized story, Castle Trundle, was published in The Wheelman from November 1883 to January 1884.The same publication featured two stories by Minna Caroline Smith, who wrote under the pseudonym "Minimum": I Wait for My Story (November 1882) and A Flying Dutchman (serialized from December 1882 to May 1883). A New Ixion; or, The Man on the Wheel, was published in March 1883, written by Belle Campbell, featuring a thrilling chase scene between a bicycle and a horse to earn a woman’s affections. The centerpiece of this anthology is the 1884 novel Wheels and Whims, co-authored by Florine Thayer McCray and Esther Louise Smith. It follows four young women on a tricycle tour along the Connecticut River, delving into themes of sisterhood, romance, women's rights, and societal norms. The text is accompanied by several illustrations. These captivating stories not only reflect the Victorian-era fascination with cycling but also serve as a testament to the ingenuity of women authors, offering readers a glimpse into a bygone era when wheeling was more than just a means of transportation—it was a muse for transformative storytelling. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.
Walking the Beket is a light-hearted look at life from a dog¿s point of view, the dog being an Australian Kelpie - Beket - with maybe a touch of dingo, his tail always carried proudly aloft as the Leader of the Pack - or the straightened to a lance equivalent - when facing adversaries. Beket is highly intelligent, highly strung; aquiver with nervous energy and curiosity yet also accompanied with that true Aussie laid-back attitude of "she'll be right mate!" He is placed in a human family situation - "our dog Beket" to the Boss and Missus, young daughter Rhiannon and two household cats. His domestic life involves the interplay between dogs, humans, and a very sensitive Missus, but his secret and interior life reveals an entirely different aspect of his telepathic interplay betwixt dog and dogs, dogs and elephants and the "forth dimension". The story is really a humorous commentary on humanity, politics, religion and international issues - with a good dose of Doggy commonsense. Beket and his adventures, explorations and soliloquies with the Dog Clan reflect our own society¿s confrontations; i.e. Migrants - wanted or unwanted, Detainees behind wire fences, Animal welfare - help for the underdog, Meditations - Tibetan wise reflections, Emergency Services and Fire Fighters! A Tale for Young and Old or anyone who loves animals.
Anti-Corruption and Compliance programmes in multinational companies have become a common standard. In order for these programmes to be effective, international guidelines and best practice provide that Top Management needs to demonstrate Tone from the Top. However, it remains unresolved what Tone from the Top implies in practice and how it influences the effectiveness of anti-corruption. This book explores theoretically and empirically, what Tone from the Top means and how it can influence decision making with respect to corruption. Data was obtained from Nigerian managers within the oil and gas industry when facing corruption in an experimental environment. An innovative research design, the Drill Bit Business Simulation, was applied which imitates the realities and corruption opportunities of the Nigerian oil and gas sector. Results show how Tone from the Top influences moral and social motivations, which in turn steer the decision of managers whether to engage in corruption. On the basis of these new insights on corrupt decision-making in companies and the influence of Tone from the Top, this book provides practical recommendations on how anti-corruption programmes can be designed to become more effective.
