Materiality and Interior Construction

By: Jim Postell,Nancy Gesimondo

A comprehensive reference of materials for interior designers and architects Choosing the right material for the right purpose is a critical—and often overlooked—aspect in the larger context of designing buildings and interior spaces. When specified and executed properly, materials support and enhance a project's overall theme, and infuse interior space with a solid foundation that balances visual poetry and functionality. Materiality and Interior Construction imparts essential knowledge on how materials contribute to the construction and fabrication of floors, partitions, ceilings, and millwork, with thorough coverage of the important characteristics and properties of building materials and finishes. Individual coverage of the key characteristics of each material explores the advantages and disadvantages of using specific materials and construction assemblies, while helping readers discover how to make every building element count. In addition, Materiality and Interior Construction: Is highly illustrated throughout to show material properties and building assemblies Supplies rankings and information on the "green" attributes of each material so that designers can make informed decisions for specifications Is organized by application for easy and quick access to information Includes a companion website, featuring an extensive online image bank of materials and assemblies Rather than a typical catalog of materials, Materiality and Interior Construction is efficiently organized so that the reader is guided directly to the options for the location or assembly they are considering. Reliable and easy to use, Materiality and Interior Construction is a one-stop, comprehensive reference for hundreds of commonly used materials and their integration as building components—and an invaluable resource that every interior designer or architect should add to their set of tools.

Recherche

A Tale of Memories, Murder and Vampires

By: Jim Williams

You get to be a lot of people when you are a vampire. Meet old Harry Haze: war criminal, Jewish stand-up comedian, friend of Marcel Proust and J. Edgar Hoover. John Harper encounters him while spending the summer in the South of France with his mistress Lucy, and is entranced by Harry’s stories of his fabulous past. Then Lucy disappears without explanation and both John and Harry fall under suspicion. Yet how are we to know the truth when it is hidden in the labyrinth of Harry’s bizarre memories and John’s guilt at abandoning his wife? Nothing in this story is certain. Is Lucy dead? Is Harry a harmless old druggie or really a vampire? Deep inside his humorous tales is the suppressed memory of a night of sheer horror. And it is possible that one of the two men is an insane killer.

The Sleep Garden

By: Jim Krusoe

The Sleep Garden explores and pushes the boundaries between fact and imagination, real and surreal, and life and the afterlife. In an underground apartment building called “the Burrow”--essentially purgatory—“twilight souls” inhabit the space between life and death. Interwoven with their stories are those of inhabitants of the living world: a retired sea captain, a psychotic former child actor (possibly the sea captain’s illegitimate son?), and the technicians who monitor the Burrow, making sure its occupants have a constant supply of oxygen and food. Through all of their stories, and the ways in which their lives, past and present, intertwine, Krusoe creates a poignant story about what constitutes a life, what remains when we die, and what we possibly carry with us into the next world.

The Mammoth Book Of Weird Records

By: Jim Theobald

Everyone’s heard of Usain Bolt, but how many people know about Dineka Maguire? Like Bolt, the Irish woman is a world record holder but in the rather lesser known sport of bog snorkelling. She is just one of the hundreds of unsung heroes featured in this book chronicling the people who go to bizarre lengths to break world records in the weirdest categories; people who devote hours of intense training to spitting dung, eating cockroaches, sniffing feet or tossing tuna in the hope of one day being recognised as the best in the world. This astonishing compendium of the weirdest, wackiest and most disgusting world records will amuse and astound in equal measure. Entries include: Longest ear hair Fastest marathon while wearing a deep-sea diving suit Fastest bog snorkeller Farthest distance skateboarding by a goat Most bees on body Most milk crates balanced on head Fastest 5-km run while dressed as a penguin and juggling Heaviest airplane pulled with teeth Fastest shopping trolley Longest backwards motorcycle ride Most stairs climbed by bicycle Fastest 30 metres on a scooter by a dog First water-skiing squirrel

Diversifying Diplomacy

My Journey from Roxbury to Dakar

By: Harriet Lee Elam-Thomas,Jim Robison

Today, diverse women of all hues represent this country overseas. Some have called this development the “Hillary Effect.” But well before our most recent female secretary of state there was Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve in that capacity, and later Condoleezza Rice. Beginning at a more junior post in the Department of State in 1971, there was “the little Elam girl” from Boston. Diversifying Diplomacy tells the story of Harriet Lee Elam-Thomas, a young black woman who beat the odds and challenged the status quo. Inspired by the strong women in her life, she followed in the footsteps of the few women who had gone before her in her effort to make the Foreign Service reflect the diverse faces of the United States. The youngest child of parents who left the segregated Old South to raise their family in Massachusetts, Elam-Thomas distinguished herself with a diplomatic career at a time when few colleagues looked like her. Elam-Thomas’s memoir is a firsthand account of her decades-long career in the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service, recounting her experiences of making U.S. foreign policy, culture, and values understood abroad. Elam-Thomas served as a United States ambassador to Senegal (2000–2002) and retired with the rank of career minister after forty-two years as a diplomat. Diversifying Diplomacy presents the journey of this successful woman, who not only found herself confronted by some of the world’s heftier problems but also helped ensure that new shepherds of honesty and authenticity would follow in her international footsteps for generations to come.

The Demented Lady Detectives' Club

By: Jim Williams

In the pretty Devonshire town of Dartcross an elderly lady diarist struggles with her memory to write a history of her colourful past, her hateful cat and her murderous husband. At the same time, Janet Bretherton and her friend Belle try to discover a purpose to their retirement. Is it enough to discuss the latest novels in their readers’ group, go to the theatre or attend a séance? Perhaps, instead, they should try to solve the mystery of the dead Polish man whose body is found by the river? The Demented Lady Detectives’ Club is both a whodunit and a funny yet poignant account of a group of women growing old and seeking love and meaning in both the past and the present. The unnamed lady diarist finally faces up to the horror she has buried in her memory and the love she has lost. And Janet has to deal with the tender feelings she is still capable of evoking in a man who is twenty years her junior.

The Adventures of Wee Jim

Book 1 Mum's Heart Was Roasted

By: Jim Currie

The origin of the old Scottish expression "Heart was roasted" has long since been lost of the annals of time. However, let me assure everyone that we (and Wee) Scotts are not - and as far as I know - never have been cannibals. The famous Scotts actor Sir Billy Conolly is an expert in use of such permission. So those who wants to know more can ask him. The expression simply means that I was not, by any measurement, well-behave child. In fact, I was a positive horror. Having said that, I assure you that you will not find three sixes tattooed on my scalp. Although it has been suggested that I was the original model for the children's comic 'Dennis the Menace.

Quantum Reality

The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

By: Jim Baggott

Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we talk about 'reality' and a little more circumspect in the way we think a scientific theory might represent such a reality, then all the mystery goes away. This shows that the choice we face is actually a philosophical one. Here, Jim Baggott provides a quick but comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics for the general reader, and explains what makes this theory so very different from the rest. He also explores the processes involved in developing scientific theories and explains how these lead to different philosophical positions, essential if we are to understand the nature of the great debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein. Moving forwards, Baggott then provides a comprehensive guide to attempts to determine what the theory actually means, from the Copenhagen interpretation to many worlds and the multiverse. Richard Feynman once declared that 'nobody understands quantum mechanics'. This book will tell you why.

Space Travel

Missile Defence: A New Technology

By: Jim Brown

The universe in the mind of science is the visible universe that means all mass and any interaction between mass and energy or light or any of the senses: that is the material universe. The largest part of the universe does not come into this category: 'Space'. Science declares space as void; void means no substance. There can never be any interaction between void and material: as a consequence it will forever remain impossible for science to prove the existence of void: we can never prove space as void. This book proclaims space as a material substance: a fluid substance, which makes it subject to all of the known laws of fluid mechanics. This assumption then allows us to discover many of what otherwise are mysteries of science. We discover the nature of 'pure energy'; the make up structure of mass and forces of all kinds. We can then bring together knowledge that allows the development of science which gives us a new propulsion system, and a very simple missile defence system. This requires a revolution in the thinking of scientists, without it interstella space travel is virtually impossible.

Life on the Edge

The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology

By: Johnjoe McFadden,Jim Al-Khalili

New York Times bestseller • Life on the Edge alters our understanding of our world's fundamental dynamics through the use of quantum mechanics. Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Using first-hand experience at the cutting edge of science, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal that missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, each chapter in Life on the Edge illustrates one of life's puzzles: How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes copy themselves with such precision? Life on the Edge accessibly reveals how quantum mechanics can answer these probing questions of the universe. Guiding the reader through the rapidly unfolding discoveries of the last few years, Al-Khalili and McFadden describe the explosive new field of quantum biology and its potentially revolutionary applications, while offering insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate in these groundbreaking pages, life exists on the quantum edge. Winner, Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication

From Brooklyn to the World- A Fun Trip

By: Jim King

Before You Leave for Europe and North America Before You Leave for Europe and North America: A Rough Companion Guide For (African) Students; ISBN 14259743X; paperback, 8.5x11; xiv, 242 pages, publish by AuthorHouse, USA. This comprehensive reference monograph provides guidelines for students (particularly of African origin) who wish to study in Europe, North America and Oceania. It also caters for those who are already studying in these regions. It focuses on key aspects such as security tips, health, accommodation, networking, travels, preparation for departure, students' visas, access to resources, internship, writing scientific papers, tips on studying, taking notes, writing term papers, theses, clothing, cultural shocks, tuition, internship, and transportation. Presented as a continuous narrative, this monograph is a key document for those with or without the Internet facilities. It is hoped that those who have them would work with it in tandem. It lists nearly all Western Universities, private and community colleges, cardinal literature that shaped the Western civilization and African cultures. Based on interviews, secondary sources, experience and observations, this work is scholarly with endnotes, an index and appendices. The last includes lists of inventors considered as motivation to students in general. Besides, it is full of dos and don'ts; likely problems to be encountered, suggested solutions, recommendations, comprehensive terms in Latin likely to be encountered and used in scientific literatures. This is perhaps the only document of its kind that summarizes and makes available facts to enable Africa and other foreign students to study with ease in Western environments for their mutual benefits. Some college and / or university calendars or handbooks and leaflet or digital information tend to be too specialized and often ignore cultural differences that might affect students' performance, especially at the beginning of their studies. This works covers these relevant gaps. Further, it teaches students how to make good use their time and to avoid engagement in practices that are likely to be detrimental to their health and studies. University professors, counselors, administrators, immigration and counselor officers of various missions abroad will also find this document valuable. It is equally a must to home students who are keen on improving their interrelationship with foreign students because the world is now a global village. It should be emphasized that the post 9/11 (2001) ramifications and economic migrants who disguise as students to apply for entry visas, have made the EEC and North American countries to have new requirements that are being used to deny visas to potential African and other third world students. One of these is the inability of students to provide evidence of applications to several institutions in addition to the one in which they were admitted. This book helps the students to understand new regulations and provide them with a healthy choice of institutions to apply to. It is hoped that this will answer for most cultural and educational attaches in Embassies or High Commissions mundane questions often posed b

Ted Williams

The Pursuit of Perfection

By: Bill Nowlin,Jim Prime

Teddy Ballgame: A Tribute to Ted Williams is filled to the brim with wonderful photos and stories about the man who reigns today as the elder statesman of baseball. Agreed by most to be the greatest pure hitter in the history of the game, Teddy Ballgame is a lot more. He's a military hero as well, having served in two wars and having flown combat missions with John Glenn as a United States Marine Corps jet fighter pilot. As a celebrity, he has lent his name to numerable charitable efforts and his half-century of service in the cause of fighting children's cancer represents the longest association of any sports figure with a charitable cause. Among baseball fans, no one who watched the 1999 All Star Game will ever forget the moment when all the great Hall of Famers from the game's past broke ranks on the field at Fenway Park and flocked around Ted once he was brought to the mound. It was a spontaneous show of love and admiration for Teddy Ballgame. This book isn't just for Red Sox fans, it's for baseball fans of all ages and allegiances.

A Soldier's Fate Through the Guidance of God (HC)

By: Jim Kyzer

A Soldier's Fate Through the Guidance of God By: Jim Kyzer This memoir captures the memories of a son, father, and American soldier. In it, Kyzer recounts his days as a youth in the ’40s and ’50s in the South. As he enters adulthood, the conflict in Viet Nam begins to escalate, and he finds himself in the middle of combat, moving up through the ranks, retiring from the Army at the rank of Command Sergeant Major (CSM) after 26 years. His experiences in the military, at home and abroad, are described in detail, as life with family also becomes complicated. Writing this book helped the author to heal from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Through writing and remembering, Kyzer realized what a blessing faith in God can be.

The Lulworth Triangle

Where Plod Fights the Wicked Plot and Zombie~Dom

By: Jim Warren

These stories have been brought to you rocketing out of the past and into the future. It has been said that people are not ready for this, that these legends winging in from bygone times have arrived seriously ahead of schedule. In fairy-tales witches always wear those absurd black pointed hats, black cloaks, and ride on broomsticks, to a moon made up of green cheese. This is not a fairy tale; this book is about those extravagant, entrancing, and real witches of East Lulworth. Along with those extraordinary, enchanting druids from the realm of the Eggardon Hundreds; the most formidable and heavenly inspired celestial pilots of the light ages. Who with their discernment realized in a flash that the Lulworth Triangle is far more mysterious than the Bermuda Triangle ever has been or is ever likely to be. Its a complete and utter myth by comparison. ALTERNATIVE REVIEWS I come from Siberia, it is a very cold there, I like this book, it is hot!Olya Smith, Firebird Studio, Wumpland

Prairie Breezes

Odyssey from Pretty Prairie

By: Theodore "Jim" Goering

Pretty Prairie, dating from the late 1880s and somewhat before the advent of settled agriculture, was linked to the larger world by its location on a rudimentary stage coach line which connected the pioneer towns of Wichita in the south central part of the state with Dodge City to the west. As historians tell it, the city's colorful name reflects a comment by a lady traveler from an east coast state on a western-bound stage coach. At a stop to rest the horses and give the travelers time to stretch their legs, the traveler stepped out of the coach, inhaled a deep breath of the fresh air, looked with wonder and amazement at the seemingly endless expanse of verdant prairie grass on low-lying hills, and remarked, "Oh, my! What a pretty prairie!" And so it began to be known as such! Today, with a population of about 680 inhabitants, Pretty Prairie faces challenges similar to those confronting many small towns in the American heartland""viz. the paucity of remunerative employment opportunities which encourages educated younger residents to pursue an "odyssey (an extended, adventurous voyage)" in search of greater economic opportunities and soul-fulfilling adventure! Jim's "odyssey," as articulated in this narrative, is almost certainly only one of many undertaken by the youth of these communities. Notable personalities associated with Pretty Prairie include former Kansas Governor, Walter A. Huxman; nationally acclaimed artist of American wild life, Jack Unruh; iconic, long-term athletic coach at Pretty Prairie High School, George Norton; and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer of the Little Rascals/Our Gang series. "Author Jim and his loving wife of more than 60 years of marriage, Shirley, now live in retirement in North Newton, Kansas and remain occupied with educational, community and church activities. They are the parents of five children and grandparents of nine. Jim's remarkable career has come from humble roots on a farm near Pretty Prairie, Kansas, through halls of influence and power in Washington DC; Beijing, China; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Ulanbaatar, Mongolia; Pyongyang, North Korea and elsewhere, always driven by the consummate desire to honor the gentle exhortation of his father in Jim's youth to "...leave this world upon departure a better place than when you arrived"! Foundational reference points along the way for Jim include: The "Good Book", the Christian Bible, and the words of Proverbs 3: 5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight"; The profundity of Robert Frost's words in his 1916 epic poem, "A Road Not Taken"; "Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by; And that has made all the difference!" The hauntingly moving phrases in Paul Anka's song, "My Way!", sung so well by Frank Sinatra: And now the end is near; and so, I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear; I'll state my case of which I'm certain! I've lived a life that's full; I've traveled each and every highway! But more, much more than this: I did it my way!

RD's Revenge

By: Jim Newton

The book "RD'S REVENGE" came strictly from my imagination. I started the book as a Western, figuring that to be the easiest type of book for me to write. The plot of revenge and vengeance, came to me as I went along. I have no formal writing background; with the exception of a short course I took in creative writing. I have read a lot of books on a variety of subjects. The characters portrayed in the book comes only from my imagination. Some of the names I use are family members or people I know personally and have their consent to use their first and middle names. I believe this short preview will give a reasonable account of what the subject matter is about. Sincerely Jimmy Newton
