When Vera Koo enrolled in a firearm safety course in the late 1980s, she couldn't have looked more out of a place. She was a petite, Chinese-American woman in a class of mostly men. She had no idea this ?man's world? was about to turn her life upside down. In The Most Unlikely Champion, she shares her story of perseverance that eventually transformed her into the most unlikely pistol champion, an eight-time winner of the Bianchi Cup, America's most prestigious action-pistol championship. In this memoir, she narrates how she had plenty of experience as a woman in a man's world. She?d grown up in Hong Kong, where conservative Chinese values told women their place was in the home, where they would serve their husbands as supportive wives and mothers. When Koo was twelve, her father moved the family to the United States. With new opportunities came new challenges. Koo and her husband, Carlos, navigated the male-dominated world of real estate, only to find their business teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. They tried to build a family, but were shaken, time and again, by unexpected tragedies. Throughout the journey, she developed a deep faith in God which helped her the survive pain and disappointment threatening to crush her. The Most Unlikely Champion tells a story of triumph and tragedy, persistence, and pain. But more than that, it's about how faith and hard work can help a person achieve more than they thought possible.

Up-to-date polymer nanocomposite principles, practices, and characteristics
This fully updated guide helps engineers and scientists understand and use the special properties of cutting-edge polymer nanocomposites. Written by a recognized authority in the field, Polymer Nanocomposites: Processing, Characterization, and Applications, Second Edition, begins with an overview of key technologies and processes. Each chapter then examines a different property (structural, mechanical, thermal, flammability, ablation, and electrical) and explains relevant commercial and industrial applications. Examples for a wide variety of usage include applications for spacecraft and defense vehicles, medical and dental implants, flame-retardant and conductive polymers for additive manufacturing, and fire-resistant woven and nonwoven fabrics.
Coverage includes: - Nanotechnology and nanomaterials fundamentals - Applications in an expansive range of industries and commercial sectors - Processing of multifunctional polymer nanocomposites - Structure and properties characterization - Mechanical, thermal, flammability, ablation, electrical, and tribological properties - Opportunities, trends, and challenges in the field

Описание: This monograph conducts a comprehensive analysis of the EU right of communication to the public, one of the exclusive rights under EU copyright law, and provides an alternative framework for its interpretation and application. The present state of the law is unsatisfactory; there is uncertainty in the acquis communautaire and courts at the EU and domestic levels have struggled to apply the right. Therefore, the book identifies the problems with the existing right of communication to the public and proposes recommendations for reform. In addition to reforming the scope of the right of communication to the public, the jurisdiction and applicable law in relation to the right are analysed and changes are recommended. Thus, the book covers both the scope and practicalities of a coherent and effective reform of the right. In light of the continuing development and accompanying tribulations with this right at the EU level, this book provides a topical and timely analysis that will be of interest to academics and practitioners working on EU copyright law.

Oral Microbiology and Immunology
Third Edition
The field of oral microbiology has seen fundamental conceptual changes in recent years. Microbial communities are now seen as the fundamental etiological agent in oral diseases through their interface with host inflammatory responses. Study of structured microbial communities has increased our understanding of the roles of each member in the pathogenesis of oral diseases, principles that apply to both periodontitis and dental caries.
Against this backdrop, the third edition of Oral Microbiology and Immunology has been substantially expanded and rewritten by an international team of authors and editors. Featured in the current edition are:
links between oral infections and systemic disease
revised and updated overview of the role of the immune system in oral infections
thorough discussions of biofilm development and control
more extensive illustrations and Key Points for student understanding
Graduate students, researchers, and clinicians as well as students will find this new edition valuable in study and practice.

Автор: Heiden Gert Jan Van Der, Kooten George Henry Van, Cimino Antonio Название: Saint Paul and Philosophy: The Consonance of Ancient and Modern Thought ISBN: 3110543192 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110543193 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Рейтинг: Цена: 32170.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The much-acclaimed present-day philosophical turn to the letters of Saint Paul points to a profound consonance between ancient and modern thought. Such is the bold claim of this study in which scholars from contemporary continental philosophy, new testamentary studies and ancient philosophy discuss with each other the meaning Paul's terms pistis, faith. In this volume, this theme discusses in detail the threefold relation between Paul and (1) continental thought, (2) the Graeco-Roman world, and (3) political theology. It is shown that pistis does not only concern a mode of knowing, but rather concerns the human ethos or mode of existence as a whole. Moreover, it is shown that the present-day political theological interest in Paul can be seen as an attempt to recuperate Paul's pistis in this comprehensive sense. Finally, an important discussion concerning the specific ontological implications and background of this reinterpretation of pistis is examined by comparing the ancient ontological commitments to those of the present-day philosophers. Thus, the volume offers an insight in a crucial consonance of ancient and modern thought concerning the question of pistis in Paul while not forgetting to stipulate important differences.
Make a huge, positive, global difference from your own home Prioritize comfort over sacrifice while saving thousands of dollars. Explore dozens of solutions and their impacts on carbon footprint, petroleum footprint, toxic footprint, and other environmental issues.
If 20% of the population implemented half the solutions in this book, it would solve the biggest global problems. All without writing to politicians, joining protests, signing petitions, or being angry at the people that are causing the problems.
Good solutions are often different from conventional environmental wisdom. The average American adult has a carbon footprint of 30 tons per year. Replacing a petroleum car with an electric car will cut 2 tons. But if you live in a cold climate and you switch from electric heat to a rocket mass heater, you will cut 27 tons
Join Paul and Shawn on a journey featuring simple alternatives that you may have never heard of -- alternatives which are about building a more symbiotic relationship with nature so we can all be even lazier.
Nurture nature and nature nurtures us all.
