Materials Engineering and Science Understand the relationship between processing and material properties with this streamlined introduction Materials engineering focuses on the complex and crucial relationship between the physical properties of materials and the chemical bonds that comprise them. Specifically, this field of study seeks to understand how materials can be designed to meet specific design and performance criteria. This ‘materials paradigm’ has, in recent years, become integral to numerous cutting-edge areas of technological development. Materials Engineering and Science seeks to introduce this vital and fast-growing subject to a new generation of scientists and engineers. It integrates core thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport principles into its analysis of the structural, mechanical, and physical properties of materials, creating a streamlined and intuitive approach that fosters understanding. Now fully revised to reflect the latest research and educational paradigms, this is an essential resource. Readers of the second edition will also find: Detailed discussion of all major classes of materials, including polymers, composites, and biologics New and expanded treatment of nanomaterials, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and molecular simulation Web-based and physical supplementary materials including an instructor guide, solutions manual, and sample lecture slides Materials Engineering and Science is ideal for all advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in engineering, materials science, and related subjects.
The Pro Patria Project (“for one’s country”) is the sequel to the author’s The ProCon Conspiracy. It involves a dozen powerful men – six each from the federal and private sectors – who hatch a plot to assassinate a dozen of the nation’s most prominent citizens. Believing these men are undermining the country’s morals and values, the Committee of Twelve consists of the National Security Advisor, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Secretary of Defense, Directors of the CIA and FBI, and a U. S. Congressman. Pardoned men from the defunct ProCon Conspiracy are recruited by the Committee to plan and execute the plot. General Henry Mullaire and Colonel Manfred West, co-conspirators during the ProCon debacle, manage an intriguing scheme that uses desperate men to carry out the ruthless murders. No witnesses remain at the end; no stone is left unturned. pThe third book in the trilogy, The Bane of Cinco de Mayo, will follow later this year.

Annuity insurance products help protect retirees against outliving their incomes. Dramatic advances in life expectancy mean that today's retirees must plan on living into their eighties, their nineties, and even beyond. Longer life expectancies are the symbol of a prosperous society, but this progress also means that some retirees will need to plan conservatively and cut back substantially on their living standards or risk living so long that they exhaust their resources. This book examines the role that life annuities can play in helping people protect themselves against such outcomes. A life annuity is an insurance product that pays out a periodic amount for as long as the annuitant is alive, in exchange for a premium. The book begins with a history of life annuity markets during the twentieth century in the United States and elsewhere. It then explores recent trends in annuity pricing and money's worth, as well as the economic value generated for purchasers of these products. The book explains the potential importance of inflation-protected annuities and stock-market-linked variable annuities in providing more complete retirement security. The concluding chapters examine life annuities in various institutional settings and the tax treatment of annuity products.

Open your Bible and prepare to learn how God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). Beloved teacher Ray Stedman takes you on a journey through God’s Word that will both inspire and motivate you. The theme of this book, the believer’s riches in Christ, becomes clearly evident as Immeasurably More leads you through portions of the Old and New Testamants in an easily-read, easily-grasped devotional experience. “God says to his people, ‘You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart to be My own.’ (Lev 20:26). Christians must understand that we are the people of God today. What God said to Israel He also says to us, for in our relationship in Jesus Christ there is but one man, one body in Christ. Promises which appear in the Old Testament belong also to us who live this side of the cross.”
An Introduction to Materials Engineering and Science for Chemical and Materials Engineers provides a solid background in materials engineering and science for chemical and materials engineering students. This book: Organizes topics on two levels; by engineering subject area and by materials class. Incorporates instructional objectives, active-learning principles, design-oriented problems, and web-based information and visualization to provide a unique educational experience for the student. Provides a foundation for understanding the structure and properties of materials such as ceramics/glass, polymers, composites, bio-materials, as well as metals and alloys. Takes an integrated approach to the subject, rather than a "metals first" approach.
J. Alexander was an overweight child with severe allergies and insecurities because of his weight. He spent years perfecting a diet with miraculous results, became trim, and conquered his allergies--changing his life forever. The Prehistoric Diet shares his secrets of how he lost weight without diet pills, expensive gyms, diet foods or plans, and complicated surgeries. J. Alexander, one of the first health food store entrepreneurs in Boston, grew up in an era where diets were composed primarily of meats, mashed potatoes, Chinese food from a can, and white bread. He tells the poignant story of how he journeyed from a chubby, unhappy, and unaccepted child to a lean, healthy man through conscious eating of good, natural, unadulterated food. While sharing delicious recipes, nutritional information, and information on what foods to avoid, J. Alexander teaches others how to: - Look and feel years younger - Enjoy a revived sex life - Never be hungry - Feel energetic and build self-esteem Through the guidance from our prehistoric ancestors nearly twenty million years ago, J. Alexander leads others on a phenomenal journey to good health and a wonderful life. Isn't it time for you to take back control of your body?

This book explores the paradox of the worldwide spread of democracy and capitalism in an era of Western decline. The rest is overtaking the West as Samuel Huntington predicted, but because it is adopting Western institutions. The emerging global order offers unprecedented opportunities for the expansion of peace, prosperity, and freedom. Yet this is not the 'end of history', but the beginning of a post-Western future for the democratic project. The major conflicts of the future will occur between the established democracies of the West and emerging democracies in the developing world as they seek the benefits and recognition associated with membership of the democratic community. This 'clash of democratizations' will define world politics.
