More Tapestry Crochet, 2nd Edition

http://i60.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0326/d9/da974473d8143ecb9dd4600260bf1dd9.jpg

More Tapestry Crochet: Digital by Carol Ventura
2014 | ASIN: B00IC9OZT8 | English | 176 Pages | EPUB | 9 MB

Tapestry crochet differs from ordinary crochet in its texture, tension, and how colors are manipulated. Two or more yarns are worked at the same time to create intricate or simple motifs. One yarn is carried while the other yarn is worked over it. Depending on the tension and number of yarns carried, the finished fabric can be stiff or supple, and may take any flat or three-dimensional form. Tapestry crochet has the flexibility and portability of crochet, but the finished pieces look woven. 

The tapestry crocheted shoulder bags of highland Guatemala and the hats of Cameroon inspired the wide variety of flat and three-dimensional projects in this book. Instructions, graphs, and photos are included for both right-handed and left-handed crocheters. In fact, this revised edition includes hundreds of color illustrations and photographs and links to online resources. Besides full instructions, information is shared about the history of tapestry crochet around the world and special graph papers and instructions help readers to design their own projects and motifs!

Neuro- Logic: A Primer on Localization

http://i61.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0624/30/4dcccb74b1ff871c80e0dd87ee3b2230.jpg

Phillip L. Pearl, "Neuro- Logic: A Primer on Localization" 
English | ISBN: 1620700417 | 2014 | 130 pages | PDF | 3 MB 
NEURO-LOGIC is a foundational text about localization in the nervous system-the fundamental skill of clinical neurology. Written in an easily understandable and entertaining expanded outline format, the book integrates basic neuroscience information, the art of neurological examination, and disease-based knowledge. Over 95 crystal-clear illustrations illuminate topography, anatomic relationships, and clinical concepts. The material in this book is field-tested, and evolved from a syllabus the authors developed over many years of teaching introductory neurology to medical students.

With a logical approach to the nervous system, the book takes readers step-by-step from the basics of the cerebral hemispheres and Brodmann areas to complex details about brainstem stroke syndromes, basal ganglia pathways, and brachial/lumbosacral plexi. It also contains a neuropsychiatry section exploring the relationship of frontal lobes and psychiatric disorders, and includes a section on special applications covering coma, epilepsy, movement, vertigo, cord compression, and autonomics. Written by renowned neurological educators, this concise primer will serve students throughout medical school rotations, post-graduate residency training, and medical practice during the lifelong learning task of evaluating patients with neurological problems. It is also a useful aid for neurology residents for reviewing the basics or preparing for their Residency In Service Training Exam (RITE), and for clinicians in related specialties who want to sharpen their neurological acumen.

Key Features of NEURO-LOGIC:Teaches the fundamentals of localization and how to apply examination findings to sound clinical reasoning

Written in a clear, accessible outline format that reflects how neurologists think

Presents a logical approach to localization of lesions in the nervous system based on knowledge of neuroanatomy and clinical concepts

Includes over 95 original drawings that make localization understandable



An American Story: The Speeches of Barack Obama: A Primer

Ecw Press | English | 2008-10-01 | ISBN: 1550228641 | 230 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB

The Universe in Zero Words - The Story of Mathematics as Told through Equations

http://picload.org/image/lpgaaca/theuniverseinzerowords-thestor.jpeg

The Universe in Zero Words - The Story of Mathematics as Told through Equations
ISBN: 0691152829 | 192 pages | EPUB | 9 MB

Most popular books about science, and even about mathematics, tiptoe around equations as if they were something to be hidden from the reader's tender eyes. Dana Mackenzie starts from the opposite premise: He celebrates equations. No history of art would be complete without pictures. Why, then, should a history of mathematics--the universal language of science--keep the masterpieces of the subject hidden behind a veil? 



Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability

http://i62.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0624/42/94f4225efc93c2f8a2127faead309042.jpg

Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability by Emily Apter
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1844679713, 1844679705 | 240 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability argues for a rethinking of comparative literature focusing on the problems that emerge when large-scale paradigms of literary studies ignore the politics of the "Untranslatable"-the realm of those words that are continually retranslated, mistranslated, transferred from language to language, or especially resistant to substitution.

In the place of "World Literature"-a dominant paradigm in the humanities, one grounded in market-driven notions of readability and universal appeal-Apter proposes a plurality of "world literatures" oriented around philosophical concepts and geopolitical pressure points. The history and theory of the language that constructs World Literature is critically examined with a special focus on Weltliteratur, literary world systems, narrative ecosystems, language borders and checkpoints, theologies of translation, and planetary devolution in a book set to revolutionize the discipline of comparative literature.

Flammability of Cartoned Lithium Ion Batteries

http://i64.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0624/38/daca7ed09fa74d9052e2addfcfb61538.jpg

Flammability of Cartoned Lithium Ion Batteries by R. Thomas Long Jr., Jason A Sutula and Michael J Kahn
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1493910760 | 31 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This SpringerBrief summarizes a full-scale, reduced commodity fire testing comparison of cartoned Lithium ion batteries and FM Global standard commodities in a rack storage configuration, as reported by FM Global. Tests evaluate the flammability characteristics of the materials and the effectiveness of ceiling level only sprinkler protection. 

The testing methods, discussed in depth, are scaled down from standard commodity classification testing due to the inordinate costs of Li-ion batteries. Small format Li-ion battery commodities represent both commercially available battery formats and Li-ion battery containing devices. The selected Li-ion battery types are individual 18650 format cylindrical cells, power tool packs comprised of 18650 format cells and polymer cells. The selected comparison commodities are the FM Global standard Class 2 and Cartoned Unexpanded Plastic (CUP). The results offer insight into the combined effects of different storage heights, ceiling height, protection system design, battery density, state of charge and battery type. Flammability of Cartoned Lithium Ion Batteries is intended for practitioners as a tool for analyzing commodity testing methods and providing data about potential hazards. Researchers working in a related field will also find the book valuable.
