 Type Specific: Designing Custom Fonts for Function and Identity By Charlotte Rivers 2005 | 162 Pages | ISBN: 2880468205 | PDF | 19 MB Type Specific shows designers how typefaces designed for a specific purpose succeed by exploring each of the features that must be considered. These include letterforms, counterspaces, cross sections, ascenders/descenders, and junctions and how they work, in both print and screen, across a range of applications: posters, directories, newspapers and magazines, CD covers, packaging, signage, and film titles-including The Kitchen's organic paintbrush front for the promotion of Levi's Vintage Clothing and Saturday's elegant stencil-style face for the Chen Pascual identity. The whole gamut from free-from to precision is explored.  B. Bonin Bough, "Txt Me: Your Phone Has Changed Your Life. Let's Talk about It." English | 2016 | ISBN: 1942952376 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.5 mb What's bigger than the internet? Putting it in every pocket, and in every purse. This changes everything, in ways we are only beginning to understand.  Twentieth-century Space And Astronomy: A History of Notable Research And Discovery By Marianne J. Dyson 2007 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 081605536X | PDF | 12 MB For thousands of years, humans have scanned the sky and charted the movement of celestial bodies. The daily and seasonal patterns of the Sun, Moon, and stars guided sailors home, dictated the timing of planting and harvesting, and became an inspiration for festivals, celebrations, and holidays. The appearance of novae, comets, and storms of ''shooting stars'' lighting up the predawn hours were interpreted as lucky signs, dire omens, or special messages from the gods. These practical and spiritual connections of astronomy with human activity motivated and inspired improvements in observations and technology, which led to a deeper interest in exploring what lies beyond the outskirts of this galaxy and the next. ''Space and Astronomy: Decade by Decade'' reveals how the astronomers unravel the mysteries of how the Sun shines, how stars collapse into black holes, and how the universe expands. It is the story of dreamers who designed rockets to bring back knowledge of other worlds and other galaxies. This volume of the ''Twentieth-Century Science'' set describes the progress of astronomy and the development of spaceflight from 1901 to 2000.  Tropical Forests (Biomes of the Earth) by Michael Allaby English | 2006 | ISBN: 0816053227 | 144 pages | PDF | 22 MB There are many different types of tropical forests - lowland wet forests, seasonal forests, cloud forests, bamboo forests, mangrove forests, and monsoon forests. The biodiversity in these areas is incredibly diverse. "Tropical Forests" examines the wealth of resources found in this biome, introducing the ecosystems of the forests and explaining the importance of forest layers, food chains, and much more. An essential introduction to tropical forests, this book discusses everything about this ecosystem - from geology to animal life to conservation. This volume concludes by examining threats to these environments, including clearing the areas for farmland, logging, slash-and-burn farming, soil erosion, and soil exhaustion. Ways to manage these threats and promote conservation of tropical rainforests are also clearly presented.  Trigger Point Therapy with Foam Roller and Massage Ball: Exercise Manual for Self Myofacial and Deep Tissue Massage to Stop Your Muscle and Joint Pain by Alicia Labert English | June 22, 2017 | ISBN: 1521562741 | 60 pages | MOBI | 0.36 Mb A foam roller is a cylindrical log that is used as workout equipment for its usability and convenience. It was in fact initially used as a tooling aid during physical therapy sessions but has become an important part of a good workout regimen. It is a terrific product for self-massage, core stability, balance training, regular stretching, pain management, yoga exercises and Pilates. An individual might occasionally suffer from muscle pains because of the tightening up of the tissues. This tightening of the muscle tissue is usually known as muscle knot or simply a trigger point. To ease pains linked to the trigger points, one has to diffuse somehow or break up the knots. The roller is a type of exercise equipment that stretches muscular tissues and tendons plus it breaks down scar tissue formation and soft tissue adhesions. This book is a guide to using not only foam roller but also massage balls to break up knots, release tension, speed up recovery and increase flexibility.

Feliciano English | 2021 | ISBN: 1260143341 | 1440 Pages | PDF True | 79 MB Unparalleled in its breadth and depth of expertly crafted content, Trauma takes you through the full range of injuries you are likely to encounter. With a full-color atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical approaches, this trusted classic provides thorough coverage of kinematics and the mechanisms of trauma injury, the epidemiology of trauma, injury prevention, the basics of trauma systems, triage, and transport, and more. It then reviews generalized approaches to the trauma patient, from pre-hospital care and managing shock, to emergency department thoracotomy and the management of infections; delivers a clear, organ-by-organ survey of treatment protocols; and shows how to handle specific challenges in trauma―including alcohol and drug abuse, and combat-related wounds―in addition to post-traumatic complications such as multiple organ failure.  Touring Hot Springs Washington and Oregon: The States' Best Resorts and Rustic Soaks by Jeff Birkby English | ISBN: 1493046640 | 224 pages | EPUB | December 1, 2020 | 22 Mb Scattered from the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula to the dry desert lakebeds of the Alvord Desert, the hot springs of Washington and Oregon provide some of the most unique vacation opportunities in the western United States. This guide describes 40 of the region's best soaks, including firsthand descriptions of each soaking location, along with detailed maps and directions, best seasons to visit, and intriguing histories and legends.  Top Knife: Art and Craft in Trauma Surgery By Hirshberg Asher 2005 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 1903378222 | PDF | 42 MB This book will help you take a badly wounded patient to the operating room, organize yourself and your team, do battle with some vicious injuries and come out with the best possible result. It is a practical guide to operative trauma surgery for residents and registrars, for general surgeons with an interest in trauma, and for isolated surgeons operating on wounded patients in military, rural or humanitarian settings. A surgical atlas may show you what to do with your hands - but not how to think, plan and improvise. Here you will find practical advice on how to use your head as well as your hands when operating on a massively bleeding trauma patient.The first part of this book presents some general principles of trauma surgery. The focus is not on how you should be sewing but rather on how you should be thinking and planning. These skills are rarely, if ever, taught in surgical training. The second part of the book is about trauma surgery as a contact sport. Here we show you how to deal with specific injuries to the abdomen, chest, neck and peripheral vessels. An important theme in this section is how things can go wrong, an aspect of trauma surgery seldom discussed in standard texts. Experience has taught us that learning the pitfalls is an essential part of learning to operate.The single most important lesson we hope you will derive from this book is to always keep it simple - because, in trauma surgery, the simple stuff works.  Pat Cunningham, "Through Enemy Skies: With Wartime Bomber Command Aircrews" English | ISBN: 1780914121 | 2014 | 290 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB These ten personal accounts of RAF Bomber Command aircrew chart the history of Britain's bombing campaign in the Second World War. Starting with the disastrous misemployment of the force in the opening weeks of the conflict, they progress from bombing raids with each aircraft acting independently, to hundreds of heavy bombers being channelled over the release point. The accounts open with the poignant letters written by an eighteen-year-old killed on his first operation three weeks into the war. Other crew members detail their experiences as the force gained expertise, not least as the electronic aids were developed that eventually made precision marking possible. Tours are recalled too when the focus of operations had changed to tactical support of the Allied land forces. What is invariably reflected is the bewilderment felt at the post-war opprobrium visited upon Bomber Command; more especially as Churchill declared in 1940 that, without it, 'I do not see a way through'. |
