The Gale Encyclopedia Of Cancer: A Guide To Cancer And Its Treatments
Publisher: Gacl | ISBN: 1414403623 | edition 2005 | PDF | 1451 pages | 25,4 mb
In a statement immediately preceding the introduction, the publisher states clearly that this encyclopedia is "is intended to supplement, not replace, consultation with a physician or other healthcare professional." That said, this second edition of a work first published in 2001 is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a greater understanding of cancer.
Specific cancers, diagnostic procedures, treatments, and much more are discussed thoroughly and in straightforward lay language. Cancer biology, Carcinogenesis, Cancer prevention, Clinical trials, and other cancer-related topics are among the 450 or more entries presented in A-Z format. Uniform entries on specific types of cancer begin with a definition, a description, and demographic and statistical information before focusing on the details--causes, symptoms, diagnosis (including tests and procedures), e-treatment, prognosis, patient coping, home care, prevention, and special concerns. The frank and rather clinical-sounding treatment discussion includes staging, standards, and, when appropriate, alternative therapies, anticipated side effects, and even questions for the doctor. Key terms used in the discussion are identified and explained; clinical trials are noted.

Nanotechnology: Risk, Ethics and Law (Science in Society Series)
Publisher: Earthscan Publications Ltd | ISBN: 1844073580 | edition 2006 | PDF | 313 pages | 11,4 mb
Nanotechnology is the new genetic modification, with $5 billion in funding, involving thousands of companies and universities
· This is the first book to take stock of the risks and benefits of nanotechnology, and the complex ethical and legal questions facing governments, the public, investors, and businesses worldwide
· An accessible popular science book for all interested in the fascinating and unpredictable science, law, policy and regulation of nanotech
Nanotechnology—technology at the molecular level—has the potential, according to its supporters, to create a trillion dollar economy and provide solutions from curing cancer to reprocessing waste into products and building super-fast computers. Yet, as with genetically modified organisms, many view nanotech as a high-risk genie in a bottle that once uncorked has the potential to cause unpredictable, and perhaps irreversible, environmental and public health disasters.
With the race to bring products to market, there is pressing need to take stock of the situation and to have a full public debate about this new technological frontier.

Evolution and the Common Law
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521614910 | edition 2005 | PDF | 305 pages | 11,1 mb
This book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts of the common law's development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains there is no grand theory which will explain satisfactorily the dynamic interactions of change and stability in the common law's history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin's and Hans-Georg Gadamer's works, the book demonstrates that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context. It reveals that, like life, law is an organic process and that common law is a perpetual work-in-progress.

Worldmark Encyclopedia of Religious Practices Volume 3 Countries M–Z
Publisher: Gacl | ISBN: 0787666114 | edition 2005 | PDF | 693 pages | 29,7 mb
In 2001 Thomson Gale had a simple but ambitious goal: to produce an encyclopedia outlining the contemporary religious practices of every country in the world—from the very largest, such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia, to the smallest, such as Tuvalu, Andorra, and Antigua and Barbuda. Because this information has not been readily available in books or other sources in libraries, as well as on the Internet, the project required years of planning and hard work by a large group of people: our distinguished board of 10 advisers, the 245 scholars and other subject specialists commissioned to write essays or to review the text of their colleagues, and the editorial staff of Thomson Gale. The result was this publication, the Worldmark Encyclopedia of Religious Practices. It joins an already existing series of Worldmark encyclopedias, including the Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations and the Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life.

The editors and contributors attempt to accomplish this by presenting a series of accessible articles that methodically analyze the economic structures and financial climates of 198 countries and territories.
Countries are arranged in alphabetical order within four regional volumes. The country entries have two goals: to present a clear picture of current economic conditions and to provide statistical data that will allow for comparative interpretations. Within entries, information is divided into 14 standardized subdivisions, among them a country overview; an overview of the economy; a section on politics, government, and taxation; and a section on infrastructure, power and communications. Subsequent sections treat economic sectors, agriculture, industry, services, international trade, money, poverty and wealth, working conditions, the country's history and economic development (in time-line format), and future trends. A fifteenth subdivision looks at the economies of any dependencies, colonies, or territories. A country-specific bibliography of print and electronic sources completes each entry.

Москва "Плакат" | 1987 | ISBN: N/A | 193 стр | PDF | 15 MB
Рисунок - основа профессионального мастерства каждого художника. Школа рисования - определенная система знаний, усвоение которых требует длительного времени на основе специальных заданий и упражнений. Предлагаемое издание не претендует на роль исчерпывающего учебного пособия. Цель книги - рассказать художникам-оформителям об основах грамотного рисования, выделить те этапы начальной художественной подготовки, которые, являясь на первый взгляд простыми, ускользают порой от начинающих художников и неизбежно порождают в дальнейшем непреодолимые барьеры на пути к профессиональному мастерству. Основное внимание автор уделяет изучению основ академического рисунка, вопросам композиции, а также тем важным принципиальным положениям начертательной геометрии, перспективы и пластической анатомии, которые образуют прочный фундамент реалистического рисования.

Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion Volume Fads to Nylon
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons | ISBN: 0684313944 | edition 2004 | PDF | 470 pages | 12,7 mb
From diapers to Dior, saris to serapes, the world of clothing is nearly as vast and as ancient as the human race. Tracing the stylistic and functional threads that unite clothing across time and cul-tures -- as well as delving into the divergent styles and significance of apparel -- this A to Z encyclopedia is the essential resource for exploring the relationship between culture and couture.
This broad-based set surveys clothing, body adornment, and examines the origins of clothing, the development of fabrics and technologies, and the social meanings of dress. It also presents information on representative costumes from a wide variety of historical eras, which are frequently the topic of student research. Topics range from the bustle, sari, and toga to Polyester and body piercing. The short entries explain the history of garments (necktie, codpiece, cocktail dress, bathing suit, burqua, Nehru jacket), techniques and manufactures (batik, dry cleaning, zipper, stone washing), body adornment (makeup, mask, tattoo, wig), and important persons and institutions (Coco Chanel, Edith Head, Yves Saint-Laurent, Fashion Institute of Technology). The longer essays provide cultural context: class, gender, sumptuary laws, costume design for stage and screen, advertising; fashion careers; ecclesiastical dress; military uniforms; etc.

Company Profiles for Students
Publisher: Gale Cengage | ISBN: 0787629367 | edition 1998 | PDF | 2576 pages | 10,7 mb
Gr 9 Up-A useful, thorough work profiling 280 companies. Each alphabetical entry provides an overview and then covers topics such as "Company Finances," "Analysts' Opinions," "History," "Strategy," "Current Trends," and "Global Presence." Each article ends with a bibliography and, often, a Web-site address to access an annual report. "Fast Facts," a chronology, and sidebars are also incorporated into the four- to six-page entries. Many high-profile and youth-oriented companies are included: The Gap, Hard Rock Cafe, PEZ Candy, Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, and Rollerblade. Lycos and AOL are profiled, but students may be disappointed not to find eBay or Amazon.com. Graphs, company logos, and occasional black-and-white photos of products or headquarters are provided. Volume one begins with a "Chronology of Key Business Events"; volume two ends with 35 "Industry Profiles," a "Directory of Specialized Business Web Sites," and a complete index. Although much of this information is available in other sources, the accessible format and up-to-date material will make these volumes welcome additions in collections serving young adults.-Priscilla Bennett, State University of West Georgia

Gale Encyclopedia of Everyday Law
Publisher: Gacl | ISBN: 1414403534 | edition 2006 | PDF | 1499 pages | 13,9 mb
The first edition of this set was published in 2002. The format of the second edition is the same--more than 20 major topics subdivided, with the subsections having articles of two to six pages, most ending with a short bibliography and addresses or URLs of pertinent government agencies or private organizations. The introductory overview of the American legal system is still found in both volumes, but the index and glossary are still in volume 2 only.
It appears that 10 of the major topics were not revised but 2 new subjects were added--"Homeland Security" and "Tort and Personal Injury Actions." Two of the subtopics in the new tort chapter, "Assault" and "Battery," were not even in the index of the first edition. Some of the subtopics have additions or revisions, consistent with what has occurred in the last few years. "Business Law" has a new section on officer and director liability, and "Consumer Issues" has new sections on consumer-debt collection and identity theft. "Criminal Law" has added topics on DNA testing and sex offenders.

The final chapter illustrates artifacts and diagnostic pitfalls. Chapters on abnormalities follow a case-based teaching file format. Each case is presented on a two-page spread, with images and succinct discussion of the entity and how CT urography was used to diagnose it.

The Archaeology of Human Bones
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415166217 | edition 1998 | PDF | 257 pages | 10,6 mb
There is no greater direct evidence regarding earlier human populations than their physical remains. This volume provides a pragmatic and up-to-date account of forensic analysis of human skeletal remains, and its application in tackling major historical and archaeological issues. The Archaeology of Human Bones starts with an introduction to the anatomy, structure and development of bones and teeth. It analyzes the biasing effects of decay and incomplete recovery on burial data from archaeological sites, and discusses what we may learn about ancient burial rituals from human remains. Subsequent chapters focus on the demographic analysis of ancient populations, normal skeletal variation, ancient disease and injury, the chemical analysis of bone, the study of DNA, and the study of cremated remains. Examples are brought from archaeological studies around the world.

Epiphytes (plants which grow on other plants, not parasitically but for support), comprise more than one-third of the total vascular flora in some tropical forests. Growing within tropical forest canopies, epiphytes are subject to severe environmental constraints, and their diverse adaptations make them a rich resource for studies of water balance, nutrition, reproduction and evolution.

Mcgraw-Hill (Tx) | ISBN: 0070790310 | 1982-02 | PDF | 1119 pages | 62.27 MB

“

This encyclopedic reference represents the first attempt ever to catalog all life on planet Earth, down to the family level of taxonomic classification. Hundreds of experts worked for several years to produce over 8,200 descriptions of the world's viruses, bacteria, plants (including the algae), and animals (the protista). Valuable references are listed at the end of each description. Much of the information in these volumes is otherwise available only in obscure journals, and some of it appears here for the first time. As you might expect in such a monumental undertaking, the work is not perfect -- some groups of organisms have been overlooked, and some descriptions lack illustrations -- but overall this is a fabulous refernece tool. The steep price puts it out of reach of most individuals, but every library should own this massive testament to life's awesome diversity.

Tobacco in History and Culture: An Encyclopedia volume 2
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons | ISBN: 0684314053 | edition 2004 | PDF | 374 pages | 10,2 mb
The antitobacco litigation of the 1990s, culminating in the $206 billion Master Settlement Agreement, led to a lull during which this encyclopedia could be produced without fear of its being immediately overtaken by events. The editor has used the opportunity to good advantage. Tobacco in History and Culture contains 136 articles addressing every important aspect of the tobacco phenomenon and the controversies spawned by the revelations of the past several decades, most notably those relating to health risks and to the tobacco companies' awareness of those risks, long before the public was made aware of them. At this point, with the companies concentrating on foreign markets, this work will become outdated only in regard to the inevitable upward revisions of projected tobacco-related deaths in those markets--which include underdeveloped countries, where medical facilities are least capable of dealing with the results of tobacco use.

Gale Encyclopedia of Everyday Law
Publisher: Thomson Gale | ISBN: 078765759X | edition 2002 | PDF | 1286 pages | 10,2 mb
This work is designed for the layperson who wants background information about legal issues and procedures that affect our everyday lives. It is not a dictionary, although it includes a glossary, and it is not a do-it-yourself legal guide. Approximately 200 articles provide historical information, brief descriptions of relevant federal laws and regulations, variations in state and some local laws, directions to print and electronic sources of additional information, and contact details for potentially useful national and state organizations and agencies.
The articles are arranged in alphabetical order within broad categories, such as "Attorneys," "Consumer Issues," "Education," "Immigration," "Real Estate," and "Taxes." Some sections are surprisingly brief, while others are rather comprehensive. First Amendment Law merits only 3 pages, while Healthcare gets 70 and Internet gets 60. There is some unevenness in writing and editing. The article on international travel, for example, has several grammatical errors and still shows $400 as the maximum value of foreign-acquired goods to bring back duty-free. Otherwise, most of the information provided seems to be useful, and the editor offers the caveat to verify current status of laws and regulations and Web addresses.

History of the Science-Fiction Magazine Vol 03 - Gateways to Forever by Mike Ashley
Publisher: Liverpool University Press | Date: May 2007 | ISBN: 1846310032 | Pages: 528 | siPDF in RAR | 77 mb

Review
"The repercussions of Campbell''s death provide merely one context for Ashley''s study, which addresses all the major influences on the genre. As such, it is both extraordinary in scope and meticulous in detail, given the range of magazines and stories described. Despite Ashley''s own occasionally subjective assertions and the sometimes partisan opinions of cited writers and critics, Gateways is relentlessly informative. . . . Ashley should be congratulated for his achievement. He has rendered material that might have read like a list into a rich and vibrant history. Indeed, his engaging style reawakens the very essence of science fiction: the sense of wonder."--Times Higher Education Supplement (Times Higher Education Supplement ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films
By Thomas Weisser Yuko Mihara Weisser
Vital Books | November 1998 | ISBN: 9781889288529 / 1889288527
English | 637 pages | HQ PDF | 151.2 MB | RS
This book, by Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser of Asian Cult Cinema fame, takes on the "Pink Film" era with an unprecedented scope. The era of the "Pink Films," one of cultural and artistic daring and experimentation in Japan, has hardly been chronicled in the English language, but this book solves that problem! The book is a giant volume, filled with reviews and articles. The Weissers made it their intent to catalog every "Pink Film" that had a theatrical release, and they come as close to doing that as possible! Add to that the intelligent, thought-provoking articles on the history of the medium and an introduction by "Pink Film" star of stars, Naomi Tani, and the result is an absolutely stunning achievement in film history and criticism! A must-have work for any Japanese film completist.

Словарь международной символики и эмблематики
DJVU | 560 Стр. | ISBN: 5952413544 | Издатель: Международные отношения | 2001 | 61 Mb
Самый полный (по широте охвата) справочник по существующему международному арсеналу понятий в области символики, эмблематики и геральдики. Автором книги является Вильям Васильевич Похлёбкин, учёный, историк, географ, журналист и писатель (род. в 1923 г., трагически погиб в последних числах марта 2000 г.). Справочник включает толкование около 470 терминов, в том числе знаков, которые хотя и не имеют геральдического значения, но широко используются в международной практике (моны, тамги, тавро, клейма племенных союзов и т. д.). Особенностью книги является то, что материал излагается без всякой политической окраски (по-видимому такой позицией автора объясняется тот факт, что многие его книги в советское время не публиковались). В словаре представлена информация о всех знаках, независимо от их политической принадлежности, без всяких исключений и упрощений. Автор, рассматривая широкий диапазон символик (христианской и мусульманской религий, революционной и мистической, масонской и социалистической, славянской и библейско-иудаистской и прочей направленности), рассказывает об их происхождении, истории, политическом развитии и эволюции. Он также дает некоторые теоретические и обобщающие сведения о том, что представляют собой символы и эмблемы в системе исторических знаний, как они применяются и соотносятся. Книга написана без всякого налета научности, просто и доходчиво. Она будет интересна и очень полезна тем, кто интересуется геральдикой, историей, политологией, и, в общем, всем любознательным людям.

Typical entries provide brief definitions and examples of usage. The phrase finder index links keywords such as "cranny" to phrases such as "every nook and cranny." An appendix (not seen) features irreversible two- or three-word phrases (e.g., fast and furious, not furious and fast). Readers seeking the stories behind inscrutable expressions may choose to consult slang or historical dictionaries instead. Libraries that already own American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms or Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang may wish to pass on this work.

Soil and Culture By Edward R. Landa, Christian Feller
Publisher: Springer 2009-12-01 | 524 Pages | ISBN: 9048129591 | PDF | 17.5 MB
SOIL: beneath our feet / food and fiber / ashes to ashes, dust to dust / dirt!
Soil has been called the final frontier of environmental research. The critical role of soil in biogeochemical processes is tied to its properties and place—porous, structured, and spatially variable, it serves as a conduit, buffer, and transformer of water, solutes and gases. Yet what is complex, life-giving, and sacred to some, is ordinary, even ugly, to others. This is the enigma that is soil...

The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917
By Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy
Stone Bridge Press | Revised and Expanded Ed. | November 1, 2006 | ISBN: 9781933330105 / 1933330104
English | 867 pages | HQ PDF | 133.2 MB | RS
From the first examples in 1917 to today's feature-length animated masterpieces like Princess Mononoke, Japanese animation (or anime) has drawn a devoted international fan base. For quite some time, these enthusiasts have needed an all-encompassing, detail-oriented reference work. Fortunately, Clements and McCarthy, who coedited The Erotic Anime Movie Guide and have an outstanding history in anime indexing, translation, and criticism, are just the folks to carry it off. Choosing the best examples from a field that was about twice the final number of entries, the authors review and detail more than 2000 anime films and TV series. Each entry includes a short synopsis, commentary, details about key creative personnel, and evaluation of the work's significance. Over 100 illustrations representing major releases are sprinkled throughout. Other notable features include a selective bibliography, a name/studio index, and a title index that makes it easy to go right to the vital information about a particular example. The end product is a huge, exhaustive, timely, and authoritative compendium of information that will be appreciated by anime experts and neophytes alike. Recommended for all libraries and essential for film and media collections. ~David M. Lisa, Wayne P.L., NJ

Alexander Falileyev – Etymological Glossary of Old Welsh
Max Niemeyer Verlag | ISBN: 3484429186 | 2000-01 | PDF | 159 pages | 7.71 Mb
The present »Etymological Glossary of Old Welsh« is intended to offer an alphabetically arranged list of words which are found in the manuscripts transcribed before the beginning of the Middle Welsh period, and to provide them with the most important published references. Only the records written down during the Old Welsh period have been used is the compilation of the glossary. The only text which was not used is the »Book of Llan Dav«, which still requires to be comprehensively discussed, and is a subject for research on its own right. The data of this very important document is used throughout as comparanda for the research. The focus has been laid on the collection of the published analysis of the rudiments of Old Welsh; thus the glossary could be viewed as an extended bibliography for Old Welsh studies. The entries are arranged alphabetically according to the Welsh standard. The glosses which contain more than one word are segmented; in those cases where the segmentation could be problematic (and this applies to several particular fragments of Old Welsh versification), the components of the phrases are explicitly cross-referenced; when the segmentation is unclear, or the reading is variable, the components of the phrase are given as a complete entry. Homographic/homophonic lexemes are treated under the different headings. Similar or identical instances which were analysed differently are normally considered separately. Parts of compounds as well as morphemes from nouns are not treated separately; their discussion can be found in the entries which contain the first element of the composite word.

Entries on people can include additional reference categories such as individual exhibitions, group exhibitions, books of photographs, and selected works (e.g., notable photographs). Also, readers can quickly scan a person's biographical highlights--entries on people include a capsule biography.
