Cameron Francis brings you an amazing card at number effect that plays huge and is extremely practical.
<p>
Effect:
<p>
The magician proposes an experiment in fate as he introduces two decks of cards; one red and one blue. The blue deck is placed in front of a spectator and the magician never touches it again. The red deck is removed from its case. The magician shows that boldly written on the back of each card is a different number. A second spectator then names ANY card (Really!). We'll say it's the Two of Diamonds. This card is removed from the deck. Another card is randomly selected. Let's say the number on the back of this card is 29. 
<p>
The spectator now uncases the blue deck. He counts down 29 cards... The 29th card is the Two of Diamonds! 
<p>
We've got to be up front here, <i>Convergence</i> is not a "Holy Grail ACAAN". It is, however, an incredibly strong and practical effect which plays huge for lay people.

If you choose fashionable openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black.
<p>

Neil McDonald advocates his favourite opening - the very popular French Defence - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of move memorization. The lines he selects are very easy to learn and play - perfect for those who are unwilling to be slaves to opening theory. But there's also something here for more experienced players, as McDonald goes on to offer a second repertoire based on counter-attacking lines against 3 Nc3 and 3 Nd2.

Because, quite simply, if we want to understand the modern Western world, we need to look back to the Greeks. Consider the way we think about ethics, about the nature of beauty and truth, about our place in the universe, about our mortality. All this we have learned from the ancient Greeks. They molded the basic disciplines and genres in which we still organize thought, from poetry to drama, from medicine to philosophy, from history to ethnography.</p><p>Packed with useful facts, including a timeline, a "mythology for dummies," a who's who, a guide to Homer's epics, and a handy map for those struggling to know their Lemnos from their Lesbos, <i>It's All Greek to Me</i> is an entertaining and insightful tour through the world of the ancient Greeks. Why are some laws Draconian? What is an Achilles' heel? Why were the Spartans spartan? Charlotte Higgins provides these answers and more, arming average readers with the knowledge they need to understand the Greeks and their tremendous contributions to our lives. This book aims to unlock the richness of a fascinating culture and place it where it should be—in the mainstream of life.</p>http://www.lybrary.com/its-all-greek-to-me-p-64875.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/its-all-greek-to-me-p-64875.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Zach Mitchell is stuck in a rut. His college boyfriend left him ten years ago, but Zach still lives in the same apartment, drives the same car, and feeds his ex-boyfriend's ungrateful cat. His Denver business, A to Z Video Rental, is struggling. He has annoying customers, eccentric neighbors, and an unfulfilling romance with his landlord, Tom. A combat boot-wearing punk with an attitude, Angelo Green was raised in foster homes and has been on his own since he was sixteen; he has never learned to trust or to love. He doesn't do relationships, so when Angelo takes a job at A to Z Video, he decides Zach is strictly off-limits. Despite their differences, Zach and Angelo quickly become friends, and when Zach's break-up with Tom puts his business on the line, it's Angelo who comes up with a solution. Together with Jared and Matt, their friends from Coda, Colorado, Zach and Angelo will find a way to save A to Z, but will they be able to save each other too?

In the months since an unexplained sickness wiped out most of their women, Sif and Ragnor have managed to hold their people together. Yet nothing can overcome the tribe's overwhelming grief, and their future as leaders-and as a couple-is at a dangerous crossroads. A series of sensual omens convinces Sif that a fertility ritual to honor the goddess, Freya, is the only path to healing, but it requires a sacrifice. One Sif is more than willing to make-but puts Ragnor's heart in the middle of an emotional tug of war. He would give his life for his people, but share Sif's body with his greatest rival? The goddess asks too much. Refuse, and Ragnor will fail his duty and doom the tribe to violent destruction from within. Accept, and their trust could be rewarded with renewal for their people and themselves. Or shatter a love already stretched to the breaking point.

Over the years, he has added to these qualities a range and a formal restlessness that seem to come from a skeptical turn of mind, an acute sense of the artifice of the poem and of the complexity of the world of lived experience that a poem tries to apprehend.</p><p>Hass's work is grounded in the beauty of the physical world. His familiar landscapes—San Francisco, the northern California coast, the Sierra high country—are vividly alive in his work. His themes include art, the natural world, desire, family life, the life between lovers, the violence of history, and the power and inherent limitations of language. He is a poet who is trying to say, as fully as he can, what it is like to be alive in his place and time. His style—formed in part by American modernism, in part by his long apprenticeship as a translator of the Japanese haiku masters and Czeslaw Milosz—combines intimacy of address, a quick intelligence, a virtuosic skill with long sentences, intense sensual vividness, and a light touch. It has made him immensely readable and his work widely admired.</p>http://www.lybrary.com/apple-trees-olema-p-64874.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/apple-trees-olema-p-64874.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Shaku Suihana doesn't remember more than the last twelve years of his life. All he knows is that he is a Company Man, a cold and efficient assassin called in to do jobs without question. His newest assignment is more inexplicable than most, starting with meeting Úlfur, who thinks Shaku is a man named Shiro-a man who disappeared twelve years ago. When the Company tries to kill Úlfur, it sends Shaku into a tailspin... especially when Úlfur is magically transformed into Leif, a beautiful, younger man who Shaku feels drawn to protect. Shaku is tired of being in the dark about who he is, but he can't bear the thought of putting Leif in danger to find out. He decides they should run as far and as fast as from the Company as they can. It's when he meets a mysterious sensei who ignites both his and Leif's passions that Shaku realizes his miscalculation: the Company Man might not be the greatest danger arouhttp://www.lybrary.com/company-man-p-64869.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/company-man-p-64869.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST His business failing and his marriage floundering, Harrison Holden is falling apart.

Lots of women think they've fallen in love with a demon. Mab Brannigan really has . . . Mary Alice Brannigan doesn't believe in the supernatural. Nor does she expect to find that she's the newest recruit in the Guardia, an elite team of demon fighters formed centuries before to guard the five Untouchables, the most powerful demons in the history of the world, now imprisoned right there in the Dreamland amusement park. That would be bad enough, but there's a guy she's falling hard for, and there's something about him that's not quite right . . . Then there's Ethan Wayne, a former Green Beret who's come home to Dreamland to die. Ethan has his own problems including a bullet in his chest inching closer to his heart, a true love who shoots him on sight, and a mother who drags him into the Guardia after he's possessed by a crazed killer mermaid demon. Between ducking his mother's attempts to reform him and dodging the bullets of a secret government agent he's pretty sure is his soulmate, Ethan really doesn't have time for demons, touchable or not. But rocky romances and demented demons aren't Mab and Ethan's only problems: they're also coping with a crooked politician, a supernatural raven, a secret government agency, an inexperienced sorceress, a betrayer within the Guardia, and some mind-boggling revelations from their own pasts. As their personal demons wreck their newfound relationships and real demons wreck the park, Mab and Ethan find out that the Untouchables have escaped and opened the gate to hell on earth.

Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics. If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data. Russell guides the reader through his famous 1910 distinction between "knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description" and introduces important theories of Plato, Aristotle, René Descartes, David Hume, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel and others to lay the foundation for philosophical inquiry by general readers and scholars alike. "In the following pages I have confined myself in the main to those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very briefly, if at all."

Pleasure Inn, Book 3 When interior designer Anna Deveau is hired to create a room made for romance at a Victorian inn, she is thrilled-and a little wistful. A fairy-tale ending will never be hers, but perhaps tapping into abandoned dreams will fan the flames for someone else. Then she learns the only bricklayer available to build the room's fireplace is Daniel Long. The sexy boy-next-door who filled her teen years with angst, broke her heart-and still colors her nights with red-hot fantasies. Daniel never understood why Anna stopped talking to him a week before her sweet-sixteen party. Or why the wall between them remains a mile high. But now that he's back in town, he intends to figure it out once and for all. Pushing the limits of her seductive design, he sets out to prove he didn't burn her in the past. Anna finds herself doing the one thing she swore she'd never do again: laying herself bare. Until the ghost of rumors past threatens to snuff out the fiery fantasy that, this time, Anna thought was real... Warning: Years of sinful fantasies about the sexy boy-next-door lead to a night of wild indulgence. Be sure to keep a bevy of toys on hand when reading this tale, or better yet, get a boy-next-door of your own.http://www.lybrary.com/all-lit-up-p-64857.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/all-lit-up-p-64857.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST True love's path never did run smooth. Granite Lake Wolves, Book 3 After seven years of total denial, Maggie Raynor's body-and her inner wolf-are in full revolt. Weak and shaky, she literally falls into the very large and capable arms of the Granite Lake Beta, Erik Costanov. The last thing she wants is a mate, particularly when just looking at another wolf scares her to death. And one as big and sexy as Erik? Really bad idea, no matter what her libido says. Erik expected to meet Maggie in Whitehorse to escort her to the home of her sister, his pack's Omega. Sheer chance puts him in the right place at the right time to catch her, but the realization that hits him with the force of a full body shot is no accident. She's his mate. An even bigger shock? She wants no part of him-not until she resolves her issues. She'll have to work fast, because they're both selected to represent the pack during the premier sporting event for wolves in the north.

Cabrielle is glad her father never lived to see his defraction technology in the hands of the rebels. Now the only hope for her planet's survival is Torr, the Zentarin who's training Cortierra's pilots. Except Torr is suffering from an untimely case of lust fever-two years ahead of schedule. He must return home to mate with a Zentarin female, or die... Unless by some miracle a Cortierran female exists who might satisfy him. Sleeping with the hunky offworlder isn't exactly the way Cabbie planned to redeem the family name, but she'll do anything to defend her home. Even use her body rather than her crack sharp-shooting skills. One feverish night later, Torr has his cure, and Cabbie finds herself lust-bonded for life. She willingly gives him her heart-until the truth behind his motives flings it back at her in pieces. As Torr's lust-mate, Cabbie makes an irresistible target for the rebels. When they kidnap her, intent on using her as a pawn, one thing is certain. Her frayed bond with Torr is Cortierra's only hope. Warning: This story contains non-FDA-approved home remedies for lust fever.http://www.lybrary.com/space-fever-p-64859.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/space-fever-p-64859.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST There's a fine line between man and beast...one only the heart can cross. A year ago, Jacob Madison got more than he bargained for during a rock-climbing trip to Yosemite. A freak accident left him badly injured, at the mercy of the elements-and the wolves who rescued him. If it hadn't been for them, he'd be dead. He'd also still be human. Now he's back, hoping to find out who he is and what he's become. Instead, he finds smart, sexy Allison Connelly. A forensic psychologist, Allison is newly divorced and proudly standing on her own two feet...until an unexpected storm shears off the snow bank she's standing on. She plunges down an icy ravine, thinking she's heading for oblivion. Then she lands in the arms of a tall, dark Texan. Jake. Brought together by circumstance and bound by passion, secrets from their past threaten their future before it can begin. And somewhere in the mountains lurks a rogue Were turned serial killer.

A Forces of Nature novel. It doesn't take Hayden Garrett's college degree to figure out why Officer Josh Peterson is the last man alive he wants to face. Not because of the council's harebrained idea to broker peace between their clans. It's the sweaty palms that prove Hayden never got over his embarrassing attraction to his alpha rival. Mate with him? Nothing fills Hayden with more desire-or dread. Josh doesn't have a gay hair in his fur. At least not one he owns up to. Despite Josh's reputation for being a connoisseur of female flesh, he's always cared about Hayden. In a different world, they might have been friends. Now, face to face after five years, the bitterness in Hayden's eyes fills Josh with regret for what could have been-should have been. As Hayden and Josh journey through rituals-and intimacies-that will knit their souls for life, passion and anger flares, revealing a powerful secret. The truth about a long-ago sharing of hearts, bodies and souls that ended in tragedy...

The education sector has become increasingly recognized as playing a key 'external' role in prevention and in reducing stigma, and an important 'internal' role in providing access to care, treatment and support for teachers and staff, a group that in many countries represents more than 60% of the public sector workforce. In 2002, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV&AIDS (UNAIDS) Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education established the 'Accelerate Initiative Working Group' to support countries in sub-Saharan Africa as they 'accelerate their education sector responses to HIV&AIDS' through the establishment of programs with strong local ownership, capable of accessing suitable funding and implementation at all levels of the education sector. The Networks of Ministry of Education HIV&AIDS Focal Points, established through the Initiative under the auspices of the Africa Union Regional Economic Communities, have rapidly taken ownership of the Accelerate Initiative. This Review explores the experiences of education sectors across sub-Saharan Africa as they accelerate their response to HIV&AIDS within the Accelerate Initiative. It demonstrates that leadership by Ministries of Education has been crucial in mobilizing activities, and that full participation of all stakeholders is needed for effective implementation. Since 2002: 37 countries have participated; 4 Networks have been established; 1,350 education staff members and 76 development partners have participated in 120 training days; 75% of participating countries are now accessing funds through their National AIDS Committees; 76% have an HIV&AIDS education sector strategy and plan; 91% train teachers to protect themselves; all countries are now implementing HIV prevention education; 74% are training teachers in the life skills approach; and 71% provide free education for orphans and vulnerable children.http://www.lybrary.com/accelerating-education-sector-response-five-years-experience-from-subsaharan-africa-p-64853.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/accelerating-education-sector-response-five-years-experience-from-subsaharan-africa-p-64853.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Death is temporary, we'll be back. In a comformist society aware of reincarnation, insurgents are eliminated by erasing their memory of repeating life and replacing it with eternity in either Heaven or Hell. The hero escapes the dead forever process but remains stricken with amnesia, and his quest to awaken unveils hatred for an enemy he vows to destroy. But first, he must overcome his lust. Awakening begins the Dead Forever series, followed by Apotheosis and Resonance.http://www.lybrary.com/dead-forever-awakening-p-64854.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/dead-forever-awakening-p-64854.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Aaron has no idea what he's walking into when he shows up to pose for a famous-and famously bad-tempered-photographer. He certainly doesn't expect to end up working as Jake's assistant for five frustrating, thrilling, and crazy years instead of in front of the camera. It all works until Jake realizes Aaron has become the focus of his life, a life that's threatened when Aaron actually leaves him to start a relationship with someone else. Though it breaks his heart, Jake realizes he has to set his beloved muse free to have any chance of winning Aaron back.

In the follow-up, Hidden Moon, O threaded his way through the minefield of North Korean ministries into a larger conspiracy he was never supposed to touch.
<p>Now the inspector returns . . .In the winter of 1997, trying to stay alive during a famine that has devastated much of North Korea, Inspector O is ordered to play host to an Israeli agent who appears in Pyongyang. When the wife of a North Korean diplomat in Pakistan dies under suspicious circumstances, O is told to investigate, with a curious proviso: Don't look too closely at the details, and stay away from the question of missiles. O knows he can't avoid finding out what he is supposed to ignore on a trail that leads him from the dark, chilly rooms of Pyongyang to an abandoned secret facility deep in the countryside, guarded by a lonely general; and from the streets of New York to a bench beneath a horse chestnut tree on the shores of Lake Geneva, where the Inspector discovers he is up to his ears in missiles---and worse. Stalked by the past and wary of the future, O is convinced there is no one he can trust, and no one he can't suspect. Swiss intelligence wants him out of the country; someone else wants him dead.
<p>Once again, James Church's spare, lyrical prose guides readers through an unfamiliar landscape of whispered words and shadows, a world wrapped in a level of mystery and complexity that few outsiders have experienced. With Inspector O, noir has a new home in North Korea, and James Church holds the keys.http://www.lybrary.com/bamboo-blood-inspector-novel-p-64844.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/bamboo-blood-inspector-novel-p-64844.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST On the evening of February 17, 1864, the Confederacy's H. L. Hunley sank the USS Housatonic and became the first submarine in world history to sink an enemy ship. Not until World War I—half a century later—would a submarine again accomplish such a feat. But also perishing that moonlit night, vanishing beneath the cold Atlantic waters off Charleston, South Carolina, was the Hunley and her entire crew of eight. For generations, searchers prowled Charleston's harbor, looking for the Hunley. And as they hunted, the legends surrounding the boat and its demise continued to grow. Even after the submarine was definitively located in 1995 and recovered five years later, those legends—those barnacles of misinformation—have only multiplied. Now, in a tour de force of document-sleuthing and insights gleaned from the excavation of this remarkable vessel, distinguished Civil War–era historian Tom Chaffin presents the most thorough telling of the Hunley's story possible. Of panoramic breadth, this Civil War saga begins long before the submarine was even assembled and follows the tale into the boat's final hours and through its recovery in 2000. Beyond his thorough survey of period documents relating to the submarine, Chaffin also conducted extensive interviews with Maria Jacobsen, senior archaeologist at Clemson University's Warren Lasch Conservation Center, where the Hunley is now being excavated, to complete his portrait of this technological wonder. What emerges is a narrative that casts compelling doubts on many long-held assumptions, particularly those concerning the boat's final hours. Thoroughly engaging and utterly new, The H. L. Hunley provides the definitive account of a storied craft.http://www.lybrary.com/hunley-secret-hope-confederacy-p-64843.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/hunley-secret-hope-confederacy-p-64843.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Addressing a common problem for small-business owners, this accessible handbook is the key to understanding the ins and outs of accounting.

What Do Leaders Really Do? takes the basis of the best-known management theories to see how they fit with the practical reality of leadership. How do leaders spend their time? Are they really preoccupied with strategy, vision and inspiring people? Do they lead by accident, or design? The book challenges the assumption that leaders are born, not made and explores the theory that female leaders are fundamentally different from their male counterparts.<p>What Do Leaders Really Do? Looks into the everyday working lives of well-known leaders in a variety of fields - business, sport and the armed forces - in order to identify the elements that encourage people to follow where they lead. Drawing on the experiences of a wide range of leaders with varying backgrounds and roles, as well as a range of respected academics and management writers, this book will closely analyze the background, experiences and behavior of a diverse set of leaders. A central part of the analysis will be a detailed examination of what these leaders do on a day-to-day basis.<p>It is not a book about management theory but an accessible, no-nonsense guide to those theories and how they translate to real life. Many people lead effectively without knowing how they do it; this book will isolate and identify the core skills and behavior displayed by effective leaders.<p>What Do Leaders Really Do? is intended to be a refreshing alternative to the hundreds of academically-oriented leadership books that are available. The tone will be straight-forward, accessible and sometimes humorous, rich with first-person evidence and anecdotes. It will dissect popular leadership theory into the easily understandable basics, with reference to the practicalities of real-life leadership situations. After all, what good is theory if it doesn't work in practice?http://www.lybrary.com/what-leaders-really-getting-under-skin-what-makes-great-leader-tick-p-64836.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/what-leaders-really-getting-under-skin-what-makes-great-leader-tick-p-64836.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST What makes a winner - in business or in sport? Why do some people consistently break sales targets, cross the line first or hammer the ball in the net with pinpoint accuracy? Natural talent and disciplined training are vital. But with two equally matched professionals, something else makes the difference that provides that extra, champion factor: the mind.<p><br>Mind Games looks into the mental processes of sporting stars, identifying the attitudes and approaches that enable them to achieve peak performance, every time, and applies them specifically to the world of business. What are the key mental characteristics that make some people come out on top? How do winners channel adrenalin into controlled power while losers choke? What do sportsmen and women mean when they talk about 'the inner game', being 'in the zone' or being 'in the now'? What is it that coaches do to realise the potential they see? What are the lessons that business winners need to learn from sport's superstars?<p><br>Mind Games has the full involvement of over 30 sporting household names, including Sven-Goran Eriksson, Matthew Pinsent, Clive Woodward, Nick Faldo, Jonny Wilkinson. The authors draw on extensive first-hand experiences of acknowledged sporting champions across a range of sports, identifying personal techniques proven to have worked under the pressure of top-level competition. They also draw on the expertise of professional coaches and psychologists who have worked with sportsmen and women.http://www.lybrary.com/mind-games-inspirational-lessons-from-worlds-finest-sports-stars-p-64835.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/mind-games-inspirational-lessons-from-worlds-finest-sports-stars-p-64835.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Are you confident that you know what you want to achieve with your next presentation?

<p>
A multi-phase routine with an incredible crescendo of random sequence predictions.
<p>
We will not describe the effect here as it is so well conceived and well structured that you need to read the manuscript to believe it. The only thing that we will say is that you don't use N.W. or anything like that, the envelopes genuinely have the numbers printed on them and it involves a method so bold that I am sure you will love it.
<p>
Luca Volpe has for the majority of the time performed this as a stand alone piece for TV guest appearances or corporate events because it is so strong that you can't do anything else after it.
<p>
So, if you want to 'kill' your audience with a strong multi-phase stage chair routine and get a standing ovation, this is the chance to get your hands on the manuscript.
<p>
In the manuscript you will find not only the routine and the method but all of the script and bonus tips to enhance your performance. The ultimate chair test routine act includes a serial number revelation connected with a combination lock routine. A four chair prediction in which the spectators choose envelopes with printed numbers - a bold method is used. For the finale you are also able to predict what one of the chair test spectators will be wearing and give him a descriptive prediction of his personality. And much more...!

<i>Luca, WOW!!!!!!! This is a GREAT routine! I love it. So many hits and no back tracking for the spectators to follow. It is amazing thinking on your part and you should feel proud with your
baby! I wished that I was able to have seen you perform this before I knew how you did it. You would have fooled me! This is different from other chair routines and that it is in a class all by itself. You have a winner here.</i> - Ray Noble

GREAT STUFF!!</i> - Jhon Cesta
<p>
<i>The routine in itself is well built and sound. If I can see myself performing it... I know it's good.</i> - Paolo Cavalli

<p>
Great great great! I could not resist and got this immediately. I love the fact that, despite the numerous events happening, the routine is easy to follow, the dirty work is done long before the prediction is revealed and the build up shows very clever thinking and good structuring. 
Get this!</i> - Stefan Magie

<i>I got my copy just in time it would seem. Let me say WOW!!! This is so much more than a simple chair routine. It is among the finest, if not the finest chair routine I have ever seen. A work of genius.

The author, Garry Kasparov, is the world number one and, by common consent, the greatest player ever. The subject of the ebook, Bobby Fischer, is the only American to have become world champion and is probably the greatest natural talent the world has ever seen.
<p>
In the period between 1955 and 1972 Fischer, more or less single-handedly, took on the might of the Soviet Chess Empire, and won. During this time Fischer scored astonishing successes the like of which had not been seen before. These included 11/11 in the 1963/64 US Championship and match victories (en route to the World Championship) by the score of 6-0 against two of the strongest players in the world, Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen. The climax of Fischer's campaign was his unforgettable match win in Reykjavik in 1972 against Boris Spassky.
<p>
Fischer is almost equally well-known for his temperamental behaviour away from the board, as his play on it. He made extreme demands of all those around him including tournament organisers. When these demands were not met he often refused to play. The 1972 match against Spassky required the intervention of no less than Henry Kissinger to smooth things over. In 1975 when he was due to defend his title against Anatoly Karpov, Fischer was completely unable to agree terms with FIDE (the World Chess Federation) and was defaulted. After this he more or less gave up chess, playing only once, a 'return' match against Spassky in 1992.
<p>
In this ebook, a must for all serious chess players, Kasparov analyses deeply Fischer's greatest games and assesses the legacy of this great American genius.

Between 1984 and 1990 they contested five long matches for the World Championship. This 3rd volume of the, 'Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess' series concentrates on the third and fourth matches in this sequence: London/Leningrad 1986 and Seville 1987. Both matches were tremendously exciting and hard fought and both produced chess of an extremely high level.
<p>
The 1986 clash was groundbreaking in that it was the first World Championship match between two Soviets to take place outside Moscow. It was split between London and Leningrad with twelve games being played at both venues. The defending champion was now Kasparov (having won the 1985 match) and he leapt into an apparently decisive three point lead. However, this sensationally dissolved when a crisis broke out in the Kasparov camp. Karpov exploited this and pulled off the remarkable feat of winning three games in a row. Kasparov finally regained his composure and eventually clinched the match with a late victory.
<p>
The 1987 match was notable for it’s sensational finale. Kasparov approached the final game with a one point deficit, knowing that only a win would enable him to retain the title. When the game was adjourned overnight in a position where Kasparov had to win to stay champion, Spanish TV cleared its entire schedule so that the nail-biting conclusion could be watched live. A pre-internet global audience of millions was glued to their TV screens as Kasparov ground out his historic victory.
<p>
In this volume Garry Kasparov (world champion between 1985 and 2000 and generally regarded as the greatest player ever) analyses in depth the clashes from 1986 and 1987, giving his opinion on the background to the matches as well as the games themselves.http://www.lybrary.com/garry-kasparov-modern-chess-part-kasparov-karpov-19861987-p-64831.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/garry-kasparov-modern-chess-part-kasparov-karpov-19861987-p-64831.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST WINNER OF THE 2009 ENGLISH CHESS FEDERATION BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
<p>
The history of sport has seen many great gladiatorial clashes: Ali versus Frazier in boxing, McEnroe versus Borg in tennis, Prost versus Senna in motor racing. None however can quite compare to the intensity of the rivalry between those two great world chess champions: Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. Between 1984 and 1990 they contested an astonishing five World Championship matches consisting of 144 individual encounters. This volume concentrates on the first two of those matches.
<ul>
<li>The epic 1984/85 contest which lasted six months before being controversially halted "without result" by the then President of FIDE Florencio Campomanes.
<li>The 1985 match when Kasparov brilliantly won the final game to take the title and become - at the age of 22 - the youngest ever world champion.
</ul>
Great chess contests have often had resonances extending beyond the 64 squares. The Fischer versus Spassky match was played during the Cold War with both champions being perceived as the finest products of their respective ideologies. The Karpov versus Korchnoi battles (three matches between 1974 and 1981) were lent an edge with Karpov being a Russian hero of the pre-Glasnost era whilst Korchnoi was the disaffected dissident. The Kasparov versus Karpov encounters mirrored a battle between the new Russia and old Russia with Kasparov seen as a symbol of the new ideology emerging under Gorbachev whereas Karpov was seen to represent the old regime of die-hard Communists such as Brezhnev.
<p>
In this volume Garry Kasparov (world champion between 1985 and 2000 and generally regarded as the greatest player ever) analyses in depth the clashes from 1984 and 1985, giving his opinions both on the political machinations surrounding the matches as well as the games themselves.
<p>
Here is Kasparov's victory in game 48 of the first match:

<p>
In his two-volume Gambiteer series, opening expert Nigel Davies produces a complete opening repertoire which is certainly not for the faint-hearted: uncompromising and wild attacking ideas for both colours. This first volume deals with a gambit-style approach for White; the second volume will concentrate on an ambitious black repertoire. All of the opening lines Davies advocates in this ebook lead to positions of open warfare, where sharp, tactical play completely dominates dreary positional subtleties. Are you ready for the battle?

Very early on in the game White opts to fix the pawn structure and establishes a genuine space advantage, upon which he later hopes to mount a serious attack. This method of playing against the French Defence has become a firm favourite amongst uncompromising Grandmasters such as Alexei Shirov, England's Nigel Short and the rising star in Russia, Alexander Grischuk.
<p>
In this ebook openings expert Sam Collins explains the strategy and tactics of this dynamic opening, studying both the main lines as well as the more offbeat variations. Through the use of model games for both White and Black, he provides a thorough grounding in the key plans and ideas, so that readers can quickly and confidently begin to use the French Advance in their own games.

The reason for this is easy to understand: from the very first move Black unbalances the position and can play for a win without needing to take unjustified risks. This is particularly the case with the Open Sicilian, where Black can take comfort from the knowledge that his superior pawn structure ensures control of the centre and excellent long-term chances.
<p>
Faced with this problem, along with the fact that Open Sicilians generally carry a massive build-up of theory, it's unsurprising that many White players prefer to play one of the various 'Anti-Sicilian' lines on offer. These numerous alternatives to 2 Nf3 include the primitive but dangerous Grand Prix Attack, one or two wild gambits, and also some tedious and niggling variations such as 2 c3 and the Closed Sicilian, which are designed to stamp out any fun Black was envisaging when playing 1...c5.
<p>
These annoying lines have become the scourge of Sicilian players, but in this ebook Richard Palliser, a lifelong Sicilian devotee, decides it's time for Black players to finally fight back! Drawing upon his vast experience and understanding of Anti-Sicilians, Palliser creates a dynamic and practical repertoire for Sicilian players to use against these possibilities. In many instances he offers more than one solution for Black - ambitious or solid - and he pays special attention to tricky move orders, weapons that present-day players are likely to use.

<p>
Does this sound like an all too familiar complaint? The answer to this problem lies here.
<p>
The truth is you will reach your favourite opening in barely half the games you play against 1 d4, and that's why this ebook is a godsend to those players fed up with blindly searching for the right way to play against these annoying White systems designed to avoid the main lines: the Trompowsky; the London System; the Torre Attack; the Barry Attack; the Colle System; the Veresov; the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit - the list goes on and on!

<p align="center"><b>POSSIBLY THE MOST AMAZING "THINK OF A CARD" METHOD IN YEARS!<br>
You'll use this for the rest of your life. No props, just what appears to be pure mind-reading!
A stunningly produced ebook with 3 full routines and amazing bonus contributions!</b>
<p>
So, what is <i>Silent Running</i>?
<p>
Briefly, it's a "Think Of A Card" concept that requires no props at all. You don't even need a deck of cards. A spectator is asked to merely THINK of a number from 1-10 and to NOT TELL YOU. Once she has done this, she is asked to think of a suit and again to NOT TELL YOU. Then, ENTIRELY IN HER MIND she adds the suit to the number to create a visual image of a playing card. Again, SHE SAYS NOTHING! Once she has confirmed that she is thinking of a card that NO ONE CAN KNOW, you then proceed to reveal the card in any number of ways.
<blockquote>
<i>"Silent Running describes a very clever principle that enables the performer to almost instantly ascertain the identity of a card merely thought of. The Card Stabbing routine made possible by the principle is the most powerful I have ever seen. I highly recommend Silent Running to serious students of the art as well as to professional workers."</i> - <a href="http://www.lybrary.com/bob-cassidy-m-41.html"><u>Bob Cassidy</u></a> (USA)
<p>
<i>"F*#%ing Brilliant!"</i> - Nathan Kranzo (USA)
<p>
<i>"The Silent Running approach takes things into the realms of real mind reading. I love the newspaper card stab as it has the perfect combination of drama and impossibilty. Great stuff."</i> - <a href="http://www.lybrary.com/peter-duffie-m-52.html"><u>Peter Duffie</u></a> (Scotland)
</blockquote>
<p>
Three Routines are included:
<p>
<b>DIRECT MIND READ</b><br>
You ask the spectator to concentrate. You then reveal her thought-of card with 100% accuracy. It's that simple. Once you know the method you'll be able to do this at any time. In fact, you'll be doing this for the rest of your life. It is that strong and so simple!
<p>
<b>THE DISSOLVING CARD</b><br>
You discuss cold war exepriments in which psychics were tested to see if they could make enemy maps become blank and useless. The spectator is handed a deck of cards BEFORE YOU BEGIN. She is NOW asked to think of a card WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. When she has confirmed that she has a card in her mind, you ask her to imagine it "fading way" slowly. When she confirms that her mental image is gone, she is asked to take the deck and to remove her thought-of card. She attempts to do this, and counts the cards. However, there are ONLY 51 cards and her though-of card IS NOT THERE! The amazing thing about this is that she NEVER REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF HER CARD AT ANY TIME!
<p>
<b>SPIRITED CARD STAB</b><br>
This is Ben's favourite handling and what he is using to close his professional shows. A deck is shuffled face up and face down by a spectator, spread upon the table and covered with a sheet of newspaper. A knife is introduced and the spectator is asked to THINK OF A CARD. Once she has done this, she is asked to imagine the spirit of the card flowing down her arms, through her wrists, into her hands and finally into the knife. AT NO TIME DOES SHE REVEAL HER THOUGHT OF CARD. The performer now takes the knife and lunges it through the newspaper. It stands proud for all to see. Now, for the FIRST TIME, the spectator announces her thought-of card to the audience. The knife is ripped from the newspaper and is seen to be IMPALING THE VERY SAME CARD. There are no switches, the thought-of card is genuinely stabbed, each time.
<p>
PLEASE NOTE:
<ul>
<li>Nothing is EVER written down -- this is strictly a verbal procedure
<li>There is NO dual reality. The spectator and audience of ANY SIZE experience the same effect
<li>There are NO GIMMICKS used at all, no nail writers, electronics -- NOTHING
<li>No muscle-reading is used. The effect is EASILY learned
<li>Perform for a single spectator or a thousand
</ul>
TO BE PUBLISHED MARCH 30, 2010, this incredible concept will be presented as a beautifully produced ebook of at least 52 pages. (It may be more because peer reviewers are pretty darned excited and contributing ideas and routines. (Seriously, editor Steve Shufton telephoned to apologise for his delay in finishing the editing because he was so gob-smacked by the idea and was having so much fun performing it). There will be a bonus section which means the ebook could grow to 70 or so pages.http://www.lybrary.com/silent-running-p-64823.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/silent-running-p-64823.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <i>Vol. 6, No. 1, March 2010; 68 pages.</i>

Models can be represented in a number of ways, and they can be solved using a number of methods or algorithms. The General Algebraic Modeling System, GAMS, is a system for formulating and solving optimization models. It consists of a language which allows a high-level, algebraic representation of mathematical models, and a set of solvers to solve them.<p>This title provides a stable of GAMS models which can be adapted for use for particular optimization purposes. It sets out GAMS language and the basics of data management in GAMS Models. It introduces methods of building large-scale mean-variance models for managing international portfolios of bond and stock indices, extending these to incorporate various practical considerations on the portfolio trade ability.<br>The authors develop these models for scenario-based portfolio optimization and for dynamic portfolio optimization using stochastic programming. They also provide models for structuring index funds and for creating an index fund of fixed income securities. There is an indexation model to provide hedging for the exchange rate risk of an international portfolio.<br>The title includes international asset allocation models to track the international bond index, while limiting foreign exchange exposure. Finally the authors develop models for the management of participating insurance policies with minimum guaranteed rate of return, and a scenario optimization model for asset and liability management of individual investors.<p>http://www.lybrary.com/practical-financial-optimization-library-gams-models-p-64798.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/practical-financial-optimization-library-gams-models-p-64798.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This book provides a comprehensive overview of the interrelationships of insects and wildlife.

It offers tried and tested techniques to making money out of buying underpriced shares and securities. <br>In this important new book, the highly respected and controversial value investor and behavioural analyst, James Montier explains how value investing is the only tried and tested method of delivering sustainable long-term returns. This begs the question why isn't everyone a value investor? In part, it is because value investing requires a different mindset and the methods, approach and conclusions of value investing are very different from those taught in business schools and finance courses. In this book James shares his tried and tested techniques and provides the latest and most cutting edge tools and techniques you will need to deploy the value approach successfully.<p>James shows you why everything you learnt at business school is wrong; how to think properly about valuation and risk; how to avoid the dangers of growth investing; how to be a contrarian; how to short stocks; how to avoid value traps; how to hedge ignorance using cheap insurance.

Can they keep at bay the seemingly inevitable rule of a man determined to destroy the magic they can't bring themselves to believe in? Tom Strausser is a lonely failed musician with a day job he hates. Rose Smith thinks she could be a best-selling novelist, but can't be bothered to spend time writing. Father Rey Lopez was a rising star in the Catholic Church until depravity got the best of him. All three of these everyday nobodies are pulled from the world they know and are forced to find out what they're really made of, confronting their own cowardice, malice, and complacency. Will they rise to the challenge, despite themselves? The Chronicles of Jaenrye is a fantasy series set in a fictional world where common adults encounter an uncommon civilization and bizarre dangers. Each discovers extraordinary attributes that contribute to the existence of that civilization: one determined to crush it, the others destined to save it as they overcome what they think are insurmountable odds. Corona is the first volume in this series.http://www.lybrary.com/corona-p-64785.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/corona-p-64785.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <p><SPAN style=COLOR: black>Current, filled with sound theory, wise clinical acumen, sound research, terrific resources, and a multicultural perspective, this book will be a necessary resource for clinicians and educatorshttp://www.lybrary.com/childrens-encounters-with-death-bereavement-coping-p-64783.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/childrens-encounters-with-death-bereavement-coping-p-64783.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST In this charming novel, Darrin Doyle paints a captivating portrait of the all-American family-if the all-American family's youngest child ate an entire city in Michigan with a smile, that is. Doyle has a flare for writing about family dysfunction with a twist. With a unique blend of realism and fantasy, The Girl Who Ate Kalamazoo is the moving story of the hauntingly beautiful Audrey Mapes, who began her illustrious "career" by downing crayons by the carton only to graduate to eating an entire city one bite at a time. With vivid, acerbic wit, Doyle details the life of the world's most gifted "eatist" through the eyes of Audrey's sister, McKenna. Through her eyes, we see the real tragedy of the Mapes story is not the destruction of a city, but rather, the quiet disintegration of a family who just didn't quite know how to love.http://www.lybrary.com/girl-kalamazoo-p-64784.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/girl-kalamazoo-p-64784.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST As the stock market crashes, Attorney Leland Denton is hired to advise James McKenzie, an insurance examiner probing the possibly cooked books of a Los Angeles insurance company with suspicious assets backed by derivative investments. McKenzie is brutally murdered. The cops say a hooker is responsible, but Denton discovers the dead man may have been involved in a conspiracy between the insurance company and a large Wall Street bank to embezzle three hundred million dollars of policyholder funds used to pay corporate bonuses and shore up the Bank's own credit default sway and derivative-laden balance sheet. Aided by his ex-Marine paralegal, Charlote Logan, and one-armed Tavita, a Samoan ex-wrestler, Denton must untangle the web of ffinancial fraud and discover who was behind the murder and embezzlement. His efforts are resisted by hard-nosed business men and beautiful women who, in the face of Denton's unrelentng investigation, decide Denton must die.http://www.lybrary.com/hard-numbers-p-64782.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/hard-numbers-p-64782.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST As the global psychiatric community enters a new era of transformation, this book explores lessons learned from previous efforts with the goal of "getting it right" this time. In response to the common refrain that we know about and 'do' recovery already, the authors set the recovery movement within the conceptual framework of major thinkers and achievers in the history of psychiatry, such as Philippe Pinel, Dorothea Dix, Adolf Meyer, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Franco Basaglia.<p>The book reaches beyond the usual boundaries of psychiatry to incorporate lessons from related fields, such as psychology, sociology, social welfare, philosophy, political economic theory, and civil rights. From Jane Addams and the Settlement House movement to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gilles Deleuze, this book identifies the less well-known and less visible dimensions of the recovery concept and movement that underlie concrete clinical practice.<p>In addition, the authors highlight the limitations of previous efforts to reform and transform mental health practice, such as the de-institutionalization movement begun in the 1950s, in the hope that the field will not have to repeat these same mistakes. Their thoughtful analysis and valuable advice will benefit people in recovery, their loved ones, the practitioners who serve them, and society at large.<p>Foreword by Fred Frese, <i>Founder of the Community and State Hospital Section of the American Psychological Association and past president of the National Mental Health Consumers' Association</i>http://www.lybrary.com/roots-recovery-movement-psychiatry-lessons-learned-p-64781.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/roots-recovery-movement-psychiatry-lessons-learned-p-64781.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <p>The definitive guide to unlocking the hidden potential of the Windows 7 OS</p><p>Written by bestselling author and the creator of tweaks.com Steve Sinchak, this unique guide provides you with the ultimate collection of hidden gems that will enable you to get the most out of Windows 7.

Two main research paths are identified and discussed. Different â€Å"evolutionary paths” based on new materials and new transistor structures are investigated to extend classical floating gate technology to the 32 nm node. â€Å"Disruptive paths” are also covered, addressing 22 nm and smaller IC generations.

It combines the complexity of the flow dynamics and of the active or passive scalar transport process. It is part of many university courses such as Mechanical, Aeronautical, Chemical and Biomechanical Engineering.<p>The literature on convective heat transfer is large, but the present manuscript differs in many aspects from the existing ones, particularly from the pedagogical point of view. Each chapter begins with a brief yet complete presentation of the related topic. This is followed by a series of solved problems. The latter are scrupulously detailed and complete the synthetic presentation given at the beginning of each chapter. There are about 50 solved problems, which are mostly original with gradual degree of complexity including those related to recent findings in convective heat transfer phenomena. Each problem is associated with clear indications to help the reader to handle independently the solution.<p>The book contains nine chapters including laminar external and internal flows, convective heat transfer in laminar wake flows, natural convection in confined and no-confined laminar flows, turbulent internal flows, turbulent boundary layers, and free shear flows.http://www.lybrary.com/convective-heat-transfer-p-64773.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/convective-heat-transfer-p-64773.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This book provides an overview of the main methods and results in the formal study of the human decision-making process, as defined in a relatively wide sense. A key aim of the approach contained here is to try to break down barriers between various disciplines encompassed by this field, including psychology, economics and computer science. All these approaches have contributed to progress in this very important and much-studied topic in the past, but none have proved sufficient so far to define a complete understanding of the highly complex processes and outcomes. This book provides the reader with state-of-the-art coverage of the field, essentially forming a roadmap to the field of decision analysis.<p>The first part of the book is devoted to basic concepts and techniques for representing and solving decision problems, ranging from operational research to artificial intelligence. Later chapters provide an extensive overview of the decision-making process under conditions of risk and uncertainty. Finally, there are chapters covering various approaches to multi-criteria decision-making. Each chapter is written by experts in the topic concerned, and contains an extensive bibliography for further reading and reference.http://www.lybrary.com/concepts-methods-decisionmaking-p-64767.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/concepts-methods-decisionmaking-p-64767.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST The first part of this book is devoted to methods seeking relevant dimensions of data. The variables thus obtained provide a synthetic description which often results in a graphical representation of the data. After a general presentation of the discriminating analysis, the second part is devoted to clustering methods which constitute another method, often complementary to the methods described in the first part, to synthesize and to analyze the data. The book concludes by examining the links existing between data mining and data analysis.http://www.lybrary.com/data-analysis-p-64768.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/data-analysis-p-64768.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <b>Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis, Second Edition</b><p><b>Volume 2: Mechanical Shock</b><p>This volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, its properties, and the assumptions involved in its calculation. In developing the practical application of these concepts, the shock shapes or profiles most often used in test facilities are presented, together with their characteristics and indications of how to establish test configurations comparable with those of the real-world, measured environment. Following this analysis there is a case study of how to meet these specifications using standard laboratory equipment, shock machines, electrodynamic exciters driven by a time signal or a response spectrum. Discussion of the limitations, advantages and disadvantages of each method is presented.<p>The <b>Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis</b> five-volume series has been written with both the professional engineer and the academic in mind. Christian Lalanne explores every aspect of vibration and shock, two fundamental and extremely significant areas of mechanical engineering, from both a theoretical and practical point of view. The five volumes cover all the necessary issues in this area of mechanical engineering. The theoretical analyses are placed in the context of both the real world and the laboratory, which is essential for the development of specifications.http://www.lybrary.com/mechanical-vibration-shock-mechanical-shock-p-64769.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/mechanical-vibration-shock-mechanical-shock-p-64769.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST A major challenge in constraint programming is to develop efficient generic approaches to solve instances of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). With this aim in mind, this book provides an accessible synthesis of the author's research and work in this area, divided into four main topics: representation, inference, search, and learning. The results obtained and reproduced in this book have a wide applicability, regardless of the nature of the problem or the constraints involved, making it an extremely user-friendly resource for those involved in this field.http://www.lybrary.com/constraint-networks-techniques-algorithms-p-64770.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/constraint-networks-techniques-algorithms-p-64770.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This book presents the principal concepts of operations research (OR) as tools for the planning, support, and management of various types of networks, including both physical and logical networks. It analyzes real problems, and offers a collection of models for many application areas, together with the corresponding solution techniques. Following this, important application areas are addressed, such as project scheduling, distribution networks, telecommunication networks, and planning of satellite imaging.

In the last 50 years, the achievements of spatial analysis models opened the way to a new understanding of the relationship between society and geographical space. In this book, these models are confronted by the real conditions of territorial prospect, regional dynamism, cultural policy, HMO, and spatial segregation. This confrontation takes into account the instability of social behavior and the permanence of partial determinist trajectories.http://www.lybrary.com/modeling-process-geography-p-64765.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/modeling-process-geography-p-64765.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <ul><li><i>Frommer's Moscow & St. Petersburg</i> features gorgeous color photos of the sights and experiences that await you.<li>Our author, a former Moscow-based AP correspondent, hits all the highlights, from Red Squaqre to the Hermitage.

Life predictions are usually used for safe life analysis, i.e. for verifying that it is very unlikely that fatigue damage will occur during the target service life of a structure. Damage tolerance analysis is used for predicting the behavior of a fatigue crack and for planning of in-service scheduled inspections. It should be a high probability that any cracks appearing are detected and repaired before they become critical. In both safe life analysis and the damage tolerance analysis there may be large uncertainties involved that have to be treated in a logical and consistent manner by stochastic modeling.<br>This book focuses on fatigue life predictions and damage tolerance analysis of welded joints and is divided into three parts. The first part outlines the common practice used for safe life and damage tolerance analysis with reference to rules and regulations. The second part emphasises stochastic modeling and decision-making under uncertainty, while the final part is devoted to recent advances within fatigue research on welded joints. Industrial examples that are included are mainly dealing with offshore steel structures. Spreadsheets which accompany the book give the reader the possibility for hands-on experience of fatigue life predictions, crack growth analysis and inspection planning. As such, these different areas will be of use to engineers and researchers.http://www.lybrary.com/fatigue-life-analyses-welded-structures-flaws-p-64737.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/fatigue-life-analyses-welded-structures-flaws-p-64737.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST This book explains the concept of spatial data quality, a key theory for minimizing the risks of data misuse in a specific decision-making context. Drawing together chapters written by authors who are specialists in their particular field, it provides both the data producer and the data user perspectives on how to evaluate the quality of vector or raster data which are both produced and used. It also covers the key concepts in this field, such as: how to describe the quality of vector or raster data; how to enhance this quality; how to evaluate and document it, using methods such as metadata; how to communicate it to users; and how to relate it with the decision-making process.

Efficiency potential in this sector is substantial, but implementing energy savings programs have been complicated by a number of factors, including limited incentives to lower energy costs, rigid budgeting and procurement procedures, and limited access to financing. This book looks at energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) as a means of overcoming some of these barriers in public facilities, since they can outsource the full project cycle to a commercial service provider. ESPCs allow public agencies to solicit various technical solutions, mobilize commercial financing, and assign performance risk to third parties, allowing them to pay from a project's actual energy savings. The findings stem from case studies that identified approaches, models and specific solutions to ESPC procurement, including budgeting, energy audits, and bid evaluation. Such an approach also offers enormous potential to bundle, finance and implement energy efficiency projects on a larger scale in the public sector, which can yield further economies of scale. ESPCs can also serve as an attractive element for fiscal stimulus packages and efforts by governments to "green" their infrastructure, which can create local jobs, reduce future operating costs, and mitigate their carbon footprint. Lower energy bills, in turn, helps to create fiscal space in future years to meet other critical investment priorities. And, this can help stimulate local markets for energy efficiency goods and services and "lead by example," demonstrating good practices and providing models to the private sector.http://www.lybrary.com/public-procurement-energy-efficiency-services-lessons-from-international-experience-p-64704.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/public-procurement-energy-efficiency-services-lessons-from-international-experience-p-64704.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST "Bioenergy has been critical to humanity since the cave dwellers first used wood to cook their food and stay warm at night.

Many of the countryÂ's most famous blueblood families—the closest thing we have to royalty—have lived and summered in Newport since the nineteenth century. The Astors, the Vanderbilts, Edith Wharton, JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Doris Duke, and Klaus and Sunny von Bulow are just a few of the many names who have called the city home.<i>Gilded</i> takes you along as you explore the fascinating heritage of the Newport elite, from its first colonists to the newest of its new millennium millionaires, showing the evolution of a city intent on living in its own world.

But just because they don't have the advertising budgets or purchasing power of their bigger counterparts doesn't mean they can't play ball. For sales organizations, service matters much more than size.<br /><br />If your sales business is competing with much bigger fish, the odds are stacked against you. Pressured and powerless, frustrated and overwhelmed, you might be tempted to give up. But smaller businesses often find advantages over their bigger competitors.<br /><br /> • Includes proven tactics to help small businesses tackle bigger competitors<br /> • Author William T. Brooks is also the author of <i>The New Science of Selling</i> <i>and Persuasion</i> and <i>How to Sell at Higher Margins Than Your Competitors</i><br /> • Shows you how to steal market share from bigger vendors with bigger resources<br /><br />Just because your business can't flood the market with salespeople or contend on economy of scale and purchasing power, that doesn't mean you can't compete. The secret is <i>Playing Bigger Than You Are</i>.<http://www.lybrary.com/planning-analysis-observational-studies-wiley-series-probability-statistics-p-64564.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/planning-analysis-observational-studies-wiley-series-probability-statistics-p-64564.htmlSat,

But where to begin? A growing body of play therapy literature offers many specific techniques and a variety of theoretical models; however, many therapists are still searching for a comprehensive model of treatment that incorporates solid theoretical constructs with effective play therapy interventions.<p>Clinicians have long recognized that trauma therapy is not just a matter of techniques but a journey with a beginning, middle, and end. In a pioneering contribution to the field, Play Therapy with Traumatized Children: A Prescriptive Approach, the author codifies the process in her model, Flexibly Sequential Play Therapy (FSPT). Integrating non-directive and directive approaches, this components-based model allows for the uniqueness of each child to be valued while providing a safe, systematic journey towards trauma resolution. The FSPT model demystifies play-based trauma treatment by outlining the scope and sequence of posttraumatic play therapy and providing detailed guidance for clinicians at each step of the process.<p>Dramatically demonstrating the process of healing in case histories drawn from fifteen years of clinical practice with traumatized children, Play Therapy with Traumatized Children addresses:<ul> <li>Creating a safe place for trauma processing</li> <li>Augmenting the child's adaptive coping strategies and soothing his or her physiology </li> <li>Correcting the child's cognitive distortions</li> <li>Ensuring that caregivers are facilitative partners in treatment </li> <li>Inviting gradual exposure to trauma content through play</li> <li>Creating developmentally sensitive trauma narratives</li> <li>Using termination to make positive meaning of the post-trauma self</li></ul>http://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-quinazolines-supplement-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monographs-p-64472.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-quinazolines-supplement-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monographs-p-64472.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST http://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-pyridine-metal-complexes-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monographs-p-64473.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-pyridine-metal-complexes-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monographs-p-64473.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Basic Steelmaking (Nancy Keller and Matt Greenwood).<p>Lean Manufacturing Principles (Sean S.

Classification is based on the functional group or groups present in the substrate, each chapter being devoted to the reactions of a particular pair of groups. The groups are arranged alphabetically so that they can be found easily. The book enables the reader to locate references (over 2000 are included) to the conversion of a wide variety of functional groups into heterocyclic rings of five to eight atoms. Each cyclization is shown as an equation which contains concise details or reagents, conditions, and yields. Since the classification of each cyclization is based on the functional groups involved, locating the relevant reference is independent of the identity of the ring in the substrate. This simplifies the search for the relevant reference.http://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-synthesis-fused-heterocycles-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monog-p-64461.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-synthesis-fused-heterocycles-chemistry-heterocyclic-compounds-series-monog-p-64461.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST Dibenzodiazepines and Other Tricyclic Diazepine Systems (J.
