Yoga Basics for Men: An Intro to Man Flow Yoga
Yoga Basics for Men: An Intro to Man Flow Yoga - Dean Pohlman, Pam Apostolou
English | 123 Pages | PDF,EPUB,AZW,LRF,MOBI | 21.79 MB
This e-book is a great resource for both yoga students and yoga instructors. Dean does a great job of breaking each pose down in an easy-to-understand manner, and the photographs illustrate each pose from multiple angles. I especially like his modifications and tips for bringing a deeper quality to the pose or backing off so that the pose can be practiced in a safe manner. This e-book should be at the top of the list for yogis at any stage of their practice!
A very well written and organized primer for basic yoga. Dean provides the why, where and how of each pose and shows multiple angles of each so you can get it right when doing them yourself. The author's introduction serves as a genuine testimonial that yoga works for all who work it. Highly recommend this book.

101 Mathematical Projects + Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables
101 Mathematical Projects + Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables
English | PDF | 1216 Pages | 68.08 MB
Despite the increasing use of computers, the basic need for mathematical tables continues. Tables serve a vital role in preliminary surveys of problems before programming for machine operation, and they are indispensable to thousands of engineers and scientists without access to machines. Because of automatic computers, however, and because of recent scientific advances, a greater variety of functions and a higher accuracy of tabulation than have been available until now are required.
In 1954, a conference on mathematical tables, sponsored by M.I.T. and the National Science Foundation, met to discuss a modernization and extension of Jahnke and Emde's classical tables of functions. This volume, published 10 years later by the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the result. Designed to include a maximum of information and to meet the needs of scientists in all fields, it is a monumental piece of work, a comprehensive and self-contained summary of the mathematical functions that arise in physical and engineering problems.
The book contains 29 sets of tables, some to as high as 20 places: mathematical constants; physical constants and conversion factors (6 tables); exponential integral and related functions (7); error function and Fresnel integrals (12); Bessel functions of integer (12) and fractional (13) order; integrals of Bessel functions (2); Struve and related functions (2); confluent hypergeometric functions (2); Coulomb wave functions (2); hypergeometric functions; Jacobian elliptic and theta functions (2); elliptic integrals {9); Weierstrass elliptic and related functions; parabolic cylinder functions {3); Mathieu functions (2); spheroidal wave functions (5); orthogonal polynomials (13); combinatorial analysis (9); numerical interpolation, differentiation and integration (11); probability functions (ll); scales of notation {6); miscellaneous functions {9); Laplace transforms (2); and others.
Each of these sections is prefaced by a list of related formulas and graphs: differential equations, series expansions, special functions, and other basic relations. These constitute an unusually valuable reference work in themselves. The prefatory material also includes an explanation of the numerical methods involved in using the tables that follow and a bibliography. Numerical examples illustrate the use of each table and explain the computation of function values which lie outside its range, while the editors' introduction describes higher-order interpolation procedures. Well over 100 figures illustrate the text.
In all, this is one of the most ambitious and useful books of its type ever published, an essential aid in all scientific and engineering research, problem solving, experimentation and field work. This low-cost edition contains every page of the original government publication. Preface by A. V. Astin. Foreword by Advisory Committee, Conference on Mathematical Tables. Editors' Introduction. Indices to Subjects, Notations.

The Complete Book of Drawing Techniques
The Complete Book of Drawing Techniques By Peter Stanyer
English | 213 pages | PDF | 20.67 MB
Drawing, just like writing or speech, is a form of communication, and in the same way as these other forms of communication drawing can be multi-faceted, and very diverse as a means of expression of our observations,
thoughts and feelings. Across the broad held of art and design, artists and designers will use drawing as a special tool for visual communication, and at the same time use a wide spectrum of drawing techniques to express, develop, and present their ideas and work to the viewer for what ever reason.
Therefore, it is impossible to make a drawing unless the artist has a clear understanding of the type of drawing that is to be created, and the visual language that is to be used which will give form and expressive dynamics to the drawing. This is often forgotten or misunderstood by most teachers of drawing.
