 Thomas Henschel, "Crisis Management for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): Strategies for External Crises " English | ISBN: 3030917266 | 2022 | 257 pages | EPUB | 18 MB This book provides an in-depth introduction to crisis management and leadership in SMEs, as well as methods, approaches and cases against the background of different crises; external ones in particular. Featuring contributions from research and practice, this book covers a plethora of SMEs from different sectors to match the diverse nature of small business practice. The combination of a sound theoretical framework for small firm crisis management along with practical instruments/methods and cases, help to improve the organizational resilience of SMEs. The authors also guide the reader to resources beyond the book, including an online "Crisis Toolkit" comprised of material such as further publications, crisis management blueprints, guidelines, checklists, and company cases on crisis management-related issues.  Peter Ollerhead, "Crewe in the Great War " English | ISBN: 1783463414 | 2015 | 96 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Along with most of the United Kingdom the town of Crewe was affected in many ways during the four years of the Great War. This book examines many of the ways in which the hostile struggle between the European powers brokered conflict and cooperation in this industrial community planted in the rural acres of Cheshire by the London and North Western Railway Company. A military tradition dating back to the town's earliest decades helps to explain the eager response by the young men of Crewe when war was declared in 1914.  Creatures of Another Age: Classic Visions of Prehistoric Monsters edited by Richard Fallon English | April 27, 2021 | ISBN: 1948405873, 1948405741 | True EPUB | 224 pages | 2.2 MB The discovery of fossils of extinct species like the pterodactyl, iguanodon, and woolly mammoth during the nineteenth century caused an upheaval in the scientific world and challenged long-held religious beliefs about the creation and history of the world. But it also sparked the imaginations of countless writers, and it wasn't long before these prehistoric monsters began to appear in stories of adventure, science fiction, fantasy, and horror, as well as in more surprising forms, such as a ballad sung by an ichthyosaurus or a mock Elizabethan verse drama with a cast of primordial creatures.  World Wrestling Entertainment, Mick Foley, "Countdown to Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1409128113 | EPUB | pages: 322 | 5.8 mb See the world through the eyes of champion wrestler Mick Foley as he looks back on his days in the WWE.As one of the most bizarre and fearless stars of wrestling in recent times, Mick is known for taking extraordinary risks to remain at the peak of his game. COUNTDOWN TO LOCKDOWN is a no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes account of his mental and physical preparation for the TNA Lockdown - in many ways, the most important wrestling match of his career. This is placed in context by Foley's memories, thoughts and opinions of WWE as well as his life outside the ring, from the Benoit deaths and the 'Royal Rumble' to Sierra Leone and his meeting with former president, Bill Clinton.Full of action from inside the ring, the drama of his last days with the WWE, Foley's trademark humour as well as an industry insider's view of professional wrestling today, Foley's many fans will not be disappointed.  Cosserat Plate Theory English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032040238 | 183 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB This book presents the foundation and validation of the Cosserat Plate Theory, numerical experiments of deformation and vibration, and the unique properties of the Cosserat plates. Our approach incorporates the high accuracy assumptions of the Cosserat plate deformation consistent with the Cosserat Elasticity equilibrium equations, constitutive formulas, strain-displacement and torsion-microrotation relations. The Cosserat Plate Theory is parametric, where the "splitting parameter" minimizes the Cosserat plate energy. The validation of the theory is based on the comparison with the three-dimensional Cosserat Elastostatics and Elastodynamics. The numerical results are obtained using the Finite Element Method (FEM) specifically developed to solve the parametric system of equations. The analysis of deformation of a variety of Cosserat plates shows the stress concentration reduction, higher stiffness of Cosserat plates, and the size-effect related to the microstructure. The analysis of vibration of Cosserat plates predicts size-related properties of the plate vibration, the existence of the additional so-called Cosserat plate resonances, and the dynamic anisotropy, related to the dependency of the resonances on the microelement's shapes and orientations.  Keri Blakinger, "Corrections in Ink: A Memoir" English | 2022 | ISBN: 1250774357, 1250272858 | 336 pages | EPUB | 1.5 MB "Brave, brutal . . . a riveting story about suffering, recovery, and redemption. Inspiring and relevant."

 Cooking with Chiles: Spicy Meat, Seafood, Noodle, Rice, and Vegetable-Forward Recipes from Around the World by Clifford Wright English | August 30th, 2022 | ISBN: 0760375186 | 192 pages | True EPUB | 9.08 MB James Beard Award-winning author Clifford Wright is your guide to some of the world's most flavorful and spicy cuisines with 75 authentic recipes featuring chili pepper heat.  Bridget Lancaster, Julia Collin Davison, America's Test Kitchen, "Cooking at Home With Bridget & Julia: The TV Hosts of America's Test Kitchen Share Their Favorite Recipes for Feeding Family and Friends" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1945256168 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 412.9 mb Tucked inside are recipes "so easy that it feels like cheating," dishes that "will leave your guests speechless," and a peek into Bridget and Julia's lives!  Engr Omer Sabih, Dr. Raja Rizwan Hussain, "Concrete Mix Design: Concrete Mix Design" English | 2013 | ISBN: 148129881X | ASIN: B00AWP35TQ | EPUB | pages: 82 | 0.4 mb This book is devoted to learning how to produce an economical concrete mix that meets the requirements for place ability, consistency, strength, durability and appearance. Development of mix design method plays a key role in concrete technology. It involves the process of determining the most suitable concrete mixes in order to achieve maximum strength with least economic expenditures. The standard adopted for carrying out the concrete mix design with and/or without admixture is ACI 211.1. Concrete is an extremely versatile building material because, it can be designed for strength ranging from M10 (10 MPa) to M100 (100 MPa) and workability usually ranging from 0 mm slump to 150 mm slump. In all these cases the basic ingredients of concrete are the same, but it is their relative proportioning that makes the difference. The anti-permeability of concrete is one of important indexes of the durability of the concrete. The tests for determining the concrete anti-permeability performance and requirements for mix design of anti-permeable concrete have also been discussed in detail. Comprehensive literature on concrete mix design with examples and laboratory tests is the theme of this book. |
