Girls on Line

By: Jennie Liu

A powerful, dual-narrative coming-of-age story set in 2009 China. Luli has just turned sixteen and finally aged out of the orphanage where she's spent the last eight years. Her friend Yun has promised to help her get work. Yun loves the independence that her factory job brings her. For the first time in her life she has her own money and can get the things she wants: nice clothes, a cell phone . . . and Yong, her new boyfriend. There are rumors about Yong, though. Some people say he's a bride trafficker: romancing young women only to kidnap them and sell them off to bachelors in the countryside. Yun doesn't believe it. But then she discovers she's pregnant—the same day she gets fired from her job. If she can't scrape together enough money to terminate the pregnancy, she'll face a huge fine for having an unauthorized child. Luli wants to help her friend, but she's worried about what Yong might do . . . especially when Yun disappears. "[E]xplores a moment of contemporary history and a culture that is underrepresented in YA realistic fiction."—starred, School Library Journal "Both poignant and agonizing, Girls on the Line is a must read."—starred, Foreword Reviews "An affecting and original thrill ride."

Water Resilience for Human Prosperity

By: Johan Rockström,Malin Falkenmark,Carl Folke,Mats Lannerstad,Jennie Barron,Elin Enfors,Line Gordon,Jens Heinke,Holger Hoff,Claudia Pahl-Wostl

The world's human population now constitutes the largest driving force of changes to the biosphere. Emerging water challenges require new ideas for governance and management of water resources in the context of rapid global change. This book presents a new approach to water resources, addressing global sustainability and focusing on socio-ecological resilience to changes. Topics covered include the risks of unexpected change, human impacts and dependence on global water, the prospects for feeding the world's population by 2050, and a pathway for the future. The book's innovative and integrated approach links green and blue freshwater with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem functions and use. It also links changes arising from land-use alteration with the impacts of those changes on social-ecological systems and ecosystem services. This is an important, state-of-the-art resource for academic researchers and water resource professionals, and a key reference for graduate students studying water resource governance and management.

Communication in Humans and Other Animals

By: Gisela Håkansson,Jennie Westander

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Communication in Humans and Other Animals

By: Gisela Håkansson,Jennie Westander

Communication is a basic behaviour, found across animal species. Human language is often thought of as a unique system, which separates humans from other animals. This textbook serves as a guide to different types of communication, and suggests that each is unique in its own way: human verbal and nonverbal communication, communication in nonhuman primates, in dogs and in birds. Research questions and findings from different perspectives are summarized and integrated to show students similarities and differences in the rich diversity of communicative behaviours. A core topic is how young individuals proceed from not being able to communicate to reaching a state of competent communicators, and the role of adults in this developmental process. Evolutionary aspects are also taken into consideration, and ideas about the evolution of human language are examined. The cross-disciplinary nature of the book makes it useful for courses in linguistics, biology, sociology and psychology, but it is also valuable reading for anyone interested in understanding communicative behaviour.

Healthcare Reform in America

A Reference Handbook

By: Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld,Michael Kronenfeld

This valuable handbook makes the U.S. health care system understandable, reviews the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obamacare," describes past health care reform efforts, and covers the important organizations and people involved in U.S. health care reform. Why does the United States produce poorer outcomes for Americans in terms of health care than most other developed countries that spend a lower percentage of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health care? Should health insurance be private or should it be managed by the government? The second edition of Healthcare Reform in America: A Reference Handbook addresses these complex and difficult questions and many more in its thorough treatment of one of the most controversial issues in contemporary American discourse. The work provides a broad introduction to the history and key issues in the development and reform of the U.S. health care system. It then addresses the recent passage of the Affordable Care Act and the myriad of significant expected changes due to the Act, thereby providing readers with information essential to understanding the current issues regarding health care reform. This work serves as a valuable resource to high school and college students as well as to general readers wanting to learn about the history and current focus of health care reform in the United States.

Solder Paste in Electronics Packaging

Technology and Applications in Surface Mount, Hybrid Circuits, and Component Assembly

By: Jennie Hwang

One of the strongest trends in the design and manufacture of modern electronics packages and assemblies is the utilization of surface mount technology as a replacement for through-hole tech nology. The mounting of electronic devices and components onto the surface of a printed wiring board or other substrate offers many advantages over inserting the leads of devices or components into holes. From the engineering viewpoint, much higher lead counts with shorter wire and interconnection lengths can be accommo dated. This is critical in high performance modern electronics packaging. From the manufacturing viewpoint, the application of automated assembly and robotics is much more adaptable to high lead count surface mounted devices and components. Indeed, the insertion of high lead count parts into fine holes on a substrate might often be nearly impossible. Yet, in spite of these surface mounting advantages, the utilization of surface mount technology is often a problem, primarily due to soldering problems. The most practical soldering methods use solder pastes, whose intricacies are frequently not understood by most of those involved in the engineering and manufacture of electronics assemblies. This publication is the first book devoted exclusively to explanations of the broad combination of the chemical, metallurgical, and rheological principles that are critical to the successful use of solder pastes. The critical relation ships between these characteristics are clearly explained and pre sented. In this excellent presentation, Dr. Hwang highlights three impor tant areas of solder paste technology.

A Death in the Family

By: Jennie Melville

Windsor may look picturesque and old-fashioned, but policewoman Charmian Daniels knows all too well that the charming village is not immune to the realities of modern life and crime, most recently evidenced by the disappearance of eight-year-old Sarah Holt. Charmian's worst fears are exacerbated by the discovery of a young male corpse, lying next to the skeleton of a baby buried nearly a century before. Could the two deaths and Sarah's disappearance be somehow related? As Charmian races toward the truth, a killer races to stop her -- and to keep an ancient secret dead and buried.

Complementary, Alternative, and Traditional Medicine

Prospects and Challenges for Women’s Reproductive Health

By: Costanza Torri ,Jennie M. Hornosty

This edited collection is about the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and traditional medicine (TM) within the context of women’s reproductive health. It adopts a perspective drawn from different social sciences (sociology, medical anthropology, history, and health studies) to discuss topics such as fertility, menopause, pregnancy, child birth practices, post-natal care, breastfeeding, and breast cancer. The contributors explore the uses and values attributed to CAM and TM for women’s reproductive health across diverse cultures from the point of view of patients, CAM/TM practitioners, and other health care providers. This text provides insights into the wide spectrum of practices, approaches, and beliefs that define CAM and TM, and situates women’s health issues within the local socio-cultural, geographic, economic, historical, and political contexts in which they exist. It also explores some challenges to the integration of TM and CAM with biomedicine.

Fully Armed With Unbreakable Faith

A True Story

By: Jennie Allison

Fully Armed with Unbreakable Faith is the true story of the spiritual awakening and the life path journey of Jo Allison, who is no one famous and is not well-known for anything other than being a pleasant and friendly person to most people who meet her. Her story, however, is very unusual and unique and at times very scary and life-threatening. Jo has spent most of her life trying to figure out her place in the world. She made choices in her life that led her down this wild and crazy life journey. After many nightmares, feeling like she was being possessed by a demon, and thought she was going crazy, Jo discovered the full armor of God. Her faith became very strong and soon was unbreakable. In her story, Jo shares all of her life experiences, some happy but some of them very dark, heartbreaking, and sad. However, it doesn't matter what the situation is; Jo can see and feel the light, and when a dark situation is lit up, she receives understanding and then miracles and signs from God, angels, the divine, and the universe. In 2020, Jo received major spiritual clarity and discovered a few hidden talents she received from God. Jo also discovered she was specifically chosen to reveal and share many spiritual truths she received through visions, dreams, and spiritual communication from God, Jesus, and angels of the highest good. Jo's intention for the book is to inspire others and put love, hope, and unbreakable faith back into the hearts of all human beings and to help heal the world. However, she does reveal some truths that will be hard for some to accept, but God wants this story told and everyone to be enlightened and informed. This book is a guide and a key that will unlock a door to anyone who reads it from front to back cover. Once you're enlightened and have gained understanding, you can go through the door. Once you get through the door, you'll be ready to level up into your next journey on your life path leading to your destiny.
