 Trauma - An Engineering Analysis: With Medical Case Studies Investigation by M. Y. H. Bangash English | PDF | 2007 | 850 Pages | ISBN : 354036305X | 81.8 MB The purpose of this book is to bring together experts from the medical and engineering fields in which trauma acts as a fulcrum in understanding the engineering approach to medical cases. The emphasis of this book is on the retrospective study of medical scenarios as seen from the engineering perspective. An in-depth study is required to ensure the accuracy of both medical and engineering data. Where static, dynamic, temperature and impact loads and velocities/accelerations are unknown; they are evaluated using the material properties and fracture geometry of case studies. From the analytical techniques, a prospective study would assist in predicting the outcome of post-trauma damage. Generally, the book covers a wide spectrum of trauma case studies and could be used in medico-legal test cases.
 John Wade, "Transport Curiosities, 1850-1950: Weird and Wonderful Ways of Travelling by Road, Rail, Air and Sea" English | ISBN: 1399003976 | 2022 | 208 pages | PDF | 48 MB Over the years many weird and wonderful types of transport have come and gone, some of which succeeded against all odds, others that spectacularly failed, and some that never got beyond a designer's drawing board. Railway engines driven by horses, for example. Or maybe the surprising number of cars, boats and trains driven by airplane propellers. In this book you will find cars that flew, cars that floated on water and boats that ran on roads; steam-powered airplanes, electric submarines, railways driven by pneumatic air, aircraft with flapping wings...and a whole lot more. If you are a person who would like to have flown in an airship, or traveled in a train whose carriage sat on stilts above the sea with its tracks below the water, or dreamed of riding on a London to New York railway that took twelve days to travel the long way around the world, or maybe just fancied fixing your bicycle to a railway track, then this book is for you.

Young, "Transformational Change in Environmental and Natural Resource Management " English | ISBN: 113888474X | 2016 | 234 pages | EPUB | 1464 KB The aim of this book is to catalyse global interest in the pursuit of transformational changes in natural resource and environmental management. It is shown that transformational policy reforms involve fundamental shifts in strategy with far-reaching consequences for the structure of industries, the way people behave and the resources they use.

 Jo Boyden, "Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty: Evidence from the Young Lives Study in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam" English | ISBN: 1447348311 | 2019 | 204 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. What matters most in how poverty shapes children's wellbeing and development? How can data inform social policy and practice approaches to improving the outcomes for poorer children? Using life course analysis from the Young Lives study of 12,000 children growing up in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam over the past 15 years, this book draws on evidence on two cohorts of children, from 1 to 15 and from 8 to 22. It examines how poverty affects children's development in low and middle income countries, and how policy has been used to improve their lives, then goes on to show when key developmental differences occur. It uses new evidence to develop a framework of what matters most and when and outlines effective policy approaches to inform the no-one left behind Sustainable Development Goal agenda.  Jeggan C. Senghor, "Towards Africa's Renewal" English | ISBN: 0815398514 | 2017 | 352 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Africa still finds itself in the clutches of poverty and underdevelopment. The expected benefits from economic restructuring have not been realized and the debt burden continues to weigh heavily on African economies, constraining the possibilities of growth. Problems that have existed since the 1960s remain and links with the global economy continue to increase but fall short of requirements. Against this background it is not surprising that the vast majority of African states will not meet the Millennium Development Goals. The search for political systems that can deliver development have been categorized by cynics as old wine in old bottles with new stickers. As the dividends from globalization elude Africa in the 21st century, it becomes clear that it is a series of failed states, rogue states and even stateless states. This volume brings together leading researchers and analysts to examine issues and identify policy options which can lead to renewal in Africa. It provides an opportunity to reflect and offers a critical multidisciplinary appraisal of the future challenges facing Africa.  Thomas Adams, "Too Big For Their Britches: The Matter of America's Electronic Media" English | ISBN: 1637105770 | 2021 | 110 pages | EPUB | 1412 KB It has always been important that my audiences knew how much they were appreciated by me. I mean you could be listening or watching literally hundreds of other shows, but you chose to spend that time with me. I'll never forget that. And it is for that reason I decided to give back to you. You must know the entertainment industry, through its years of analysis, knows everything conceivable about the audience. What you like. What you don't. How much you'll spend and where you'll spend it. They had to know everything there is to know about you to be the most successful they could be in their field. But I've always wondered, How much does the audience actually know about who's doing the entertaining? When I would question my friends, I found it was very little in comparison. This book gives the reader an overview of the entertainment industry. Where it came from. What it's been doing. And where it may be going from here. Some you'll already know. Some you won't. Some will come as no surprise. Some things might shock you. Nonetheless, when you're finished, you'll know more about the entertainment industry and hopefully about your power as the beloved audience.  Rick Antonson, "To Timbuktu for a Haircut: A Journey through West Africa" English | 2013 | ISBN: 1620875675 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 6.8 mb Timbuktu: the African city known to legend as a land of scholars, splendor and mystery, a golden age in the Sahara Desert. But to many it is a vaguely recognizable name - a flippant tag for "the most remote place on earth." With this fabled city as his goal, author Rick Antonson began a month-long trek. His initial plan? To get a haircut.  Through Thin and Thick (Globalization and Human Rights) English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108478247 | 347 Pages | PDF | 3 MB The book launches with examples, concrete cases, or political confrontations to explain how to conceive the safeguards at stake. It portrays these as embodying principles requiring particular actions and the implementation of policies. For instance, free speech demands permitting seemingly offensive expression plus promoting a diverse and open public debate. The work scrutinizes specific guaranties, such as those pertaining to asylum, citizenship, abortion, due process, self-determination, or the environment. It presents them as engendering problems peculiar to them. Next, the discussion dissects how precepts, like human rights and democracy, may contingently clash despite their overall commensurability. Finally, it underscores the interconnection of negative, substantive, and national entitlements with their positive, procedural, and international counterparts. Throughout, ruminations on the following questions unfold: How may courts and governments respectively contribute to actualizing the liberties at issue? How do these bear upon social justice? How may ideologically opposed states nonetheless collaborate on them? |
