Feeling the Strain
Examining the popular discourse of nerves and stress, this book provides a historical account of how ordinary Britons understood, explained and coped with the pressures and strains of daily life during the twentieth century. It traces the popular, vernacular discourse of stress, illuminating not just how stress was known, but the ways in which that knowledge was produced. Taking a cultural approach, the book focuses on contemporary popular understandings, revealing continuity of ideas about work, mental health, status, gender and individual weakness, as well as the changing socio-economic contexts that enabled stress to become a ubiquitous condition of everyday life by the end of the century. With accounts from sufferers, families and colleagues it also offers insight into self-help literature, the meanings of work and changing dynamics of domestic life, delivering a complementary perspective to medical histories of stress.
The Strain
A vampiric virus infects New York and spreads outward, threatening the city and then the world, as a CDC doctor and a Holocaust survivor fight to save humanity.
The Andromeda Strain
From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a captivating thriller about a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism, which threatens to annihilate human life. Five prominent biophysicists have warned the United States government that sterilization procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, a probe satellite falls to the earth and lands in a desolate region of northeastern Arizona. Nearby, in the town of Piedmont, bodies lie heaped and flung across the ground, faces locked in frozen surprise. What could cause such shock and fear? The terror has begun, and there is no telling where it will end.
The Marijuana Strain Grower's Bible
Whether you want to grow 3 plants or 30,000 there are many factors to take into consideration: Would you rather grow a strain that produces 38g per season or one that yields 9 Kilos? Would you rather grow a strain that has a high incidence of unwanted side effects (Anxiety, paranoia, headaches, etc.) or one that has a very low incidence of said effects? Do you want to grow a strain that has a 29%THC level or one that has 5%THC? One that has 0%CBDs or one that has 47%CBDs. Would you like to know which strains are almost totally immune to powdery mildew, fungus and mold or one that is particularly vulnerable to these diseases? One that can grow clear into the snows of Fall or one that needs a ...

Mechanics of Strain Gradient Materials
Over the past 50 years, strain gradient material theories have been developed for the continuum modeling of size effects in materials and structures in terms of their elasticity, plasticity and fracturing. This book puts forward a unifying perspective to combine existing theories involving the higher order gradient of the strain tensor, or of plastic strain. It begins by reviewing experimental findings on the existence (or non-existence) of size effects on the mechanics of materials. In turn, the book devises first, second and higher order strain gradient theories from general principles, and presents constitutive frameworks that satisfy thermodynamic requirements. The special case of strain gradient plasticity is then developed and illustrated via computational analyses of size effects on the plasticity of metals at small scales. In closing, the book explains the origin of gradient effects in the case of lattice structures by drawing on homogenization theory.
The Strain Makers - The Art of Breeding Long Distance Pigeons
This antiquarian volume contains a complete guide to breeding pigeons, and includes information on strains, pedigee breeding, eggs, selection, cross-breeding, and much more. Written in clear, plain language and full of handy tips and useful information, this timeless text will be of considerable utility to the modern breeder, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this book include: 'A Tribute to the Novice Fancier', 'Male and Female Strains', 'The Problem of Inbreeding', 'Starting a Strain', 'The Male Strain', 'The Mysterious 'Nicking Factor'', 'The Producer Hen', 'Classic Pedigree Breeding', 'Perfection of the Egg', 'The Female Line', etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a new introduction on pigeons.
Strain Effect in Semiconductors
Strain Effect in Semiconductors: Theory and Device Applications presents the fundamentals and applications of strain in semiconductors and semiconductor devices that is relevant for strain-enhanced advanced CMOS technology and strain-based piezoresistive MEMS transducers. Discusses relevant applications of strain while also focusing on the fundamental physics pertaining to bulk, planar, and scaled nano-devices. Hence, this book is relevant for current strained Si logic technology as well as for understanding the physics and scaling for future strained nano-scale devices.
The Art of the Strain
Discover the incredible art behind Guillermo del Toro’s much anticipated TV series The Strain, FX and cable television's newest #1 television series. Based on Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s best-selling book trilogy, The Strain is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with all the hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers battle to control the fate of humanity itself. The Art of The Strain will delve into the amazing design work that went into creating this chilling TV series, including del Toro’s own designs for the menacing beings that pose a threat to humanity’s survival. The book will also feature interviews with key members of the cast and crew and tell the full story of this unique production. Filled with stunning concept art and candid behind-the-scenes imagery, The Art of The Strain will be the perfect accompaniment to this year’s most exciting new television show.
