The conservation of energy and the development of alternative and renewable sources of energy are key concepts in the effort to "go green." Power from coal, hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind provide cleaner, more enduring energy sources than oil. Due to high interest in developing these alternatives, demand for skilled professionals is expected to grow in these fields in the coming years. This new resource explores 15 careers in the energy industry. Career profiles include: Coal gasification engineers Electrical engineers Energy conservation technicians Geotechnical engineers Green vehicle designers Hydroelectric engineers Nuclear engineers Petroleum engineers Petroleum technicians Renewable energy workers Solar engineers Wind power engineers and more.
Workers in the fields of green construction and business play an important role in the effort to conserve energy and protect the environment. Increasingly, new structures are built to standards that minimize environmental impact and utilize alternative forms of energy. Existing structures are also retrofitted to meet green standards. While new businesses find investors to support efforts to go green and fund new environmentally oriented companies, existing businesses hire consultants to help them identify ways to restrain use of resources like paper and energy and diminish their environmental impact. Business and Construction profiles the abundant job opportunities available for those who want to work in these rapidly growing green fields. Career profiles include: Corporate climate strategists Eco-investors Environmental bankers Green builders Green business managers/owners Green product salespeople Green products manufacturers Grounds maintenance workers Landscape architects Surveyors and more.
Defines various careers in environment and natural resources, including educational or training requirements, ways to get started, advancement possibilities, salary figures, employment outlook, and sources of more information.

This provocative study asks why we have held on to vivid images of the NazisÕ total control of the visual and performing arts, even though research has shown that many artists and their works thrived under Hitler. To answer this question, Pamela M. Potter investigates how historians since 1945 have written about music, art, architecture, theater, film, and dance in Nazi Germany and how their accounts have been colored by politics of the Cold War, the fall of communism, and the wish to preserve the idea that true art and politics cannot mix. Potter maintains that although the persecution of Jewish artists and other Òenemies of the stateÓ was a high priority for the Third Reich, removing them from German cultural life did not eradicate their artistic legacies. Art of Suppression examines the cultural histories of Nazi Germany to help us understand how the circumstances of exile, the Allied occupation, the Cold War, and the complex meanings of modernism have sustained a distorted and problematic characterization of cultural life during the Third Reich.
Since the time of Aristotle, the making of knowledge and the making of objects have generally been considered separate enterprises. Yet during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the two became linked through a "new" philosophy known as science. In The Body of the Artisan, Pamela H. Smith demonstrates how much early modern science owed to an unlikely source-artists and artisans. From goldsmiths to locksmiths and from carpenters to painters, artists and artisans were much sought after by the new scientists for their intimate, hands-on knowledge of natural materials and the ability to manipulate them. Drawing on a fascinating array of new evidence from northern Europe including artisans' objects and their writings, Smith shows how artisans saw all knowledge as rooted in matter and nature. With nearly two hundred images, The Body of the Artisan provides astonishingly vivid examples of this Renaissance synergy among art, craft, and science, and recovers a forgotten episode of the Scientific Revolution-an episode that forever altered the way we see the natural world.

Loin de son image de pin-up, Pamela raconte son histoire, celle d’un esprit libre qui rentre à la maison et se redécouvre à chaque tournant. Avec une prose vivante entrecoupée de poèmes, Pamela se confie sur les moments les plus extraordinaires et aussi les plus éprouvants de son incroyable histoire. Pamela Anderson, la naïade de la série TV Alerte à Malibu, était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Originaire de Vancouver, au Canada, Pamela a vécu une enfance difficile, durant laquelle elle a développé son amour profond pour la nature, peuplant son monde des animaux blessés du coin. En surmontant sa timidité naturelle et grâce à une imagination débordante, Pamela s’est finalement propulsée dans une vie de rêve, des plages de Malibu à la scène du Playboy Mansion. Au fur et à mesure que sa célébrité grandissait, elle s’est retrouvée dans les pages des tabloïds, à l’apogée d’une époque où les tactiques des paparazzi s’apparentaient à une véritable traque. « J’ai tendance à voir des diamants dans les morceaux de charbon de l’or dans le nickel. Je suis une alchimiste à attirer ces personnages fantastiques qui me détruisent systématiquement. »
[This book] is a complete survey of the Microsoft Office 2007 Suite. The text begins with basic computer concepts, and then introduces Windows and surveys Office 2007 applications. Students are introduced to Internet Explorer 7.0, Microsoft Office Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. The text ends with a comprehensive integration project in which students use the Office application in collaboration, leveraging the capabilities of each to prepare for a meeting. Concise concept discussions [are] followed by Hands-On exercises that give students experience with those concepts right away. Figures are always in close context with the text so no figure numbers are necessary. Quick Reference sections summarize key tasks with generic steps that will work without repeating an exercise. Hands-On exercises are carefully written and repeatedly tested to be absolutely reliable. Many exercise steps are illustrated with figures to make them easier to follow. Skill Builder exercises provide additional practice on key skills using less detailed exercise steps as the student progresses through the lesson."--Book's Preface
