If you've already read the usual "tips" and "tricks" for writing the admissions essay and found them unhelpful, this is the book for you. "The Art of the Personal Statement" outlines a unique, ground-breaking approach to the application essay. Rejecting the usual "tips and tricks" approach, author and admissions consultant Alex Thaler (B.A. UC Berkeley; JD University of Pennsylvania) takes the reader on a journey through the brainstorming, drafting, and editing phases of the writing cycle. During the process, the reader will acquire the tools and perspective he/she needs to write a personal statement that stands apart and increases his/her chances of admission. Includes: Introductions/advice by Amy Jarich and Eric Furda, Deans of Admissions at UC Berkeley and University of Pennsylvania. 18 sample essays by successful applicants, followed by comment and analysis. Exercises designed to develop the reader's self awareness. A structured, comprehensive approach to brainstorming, one of the most important and difficult aspects of the writing process.
The use of electrochemical energy storage systems in automotive applications also involves new requirements for modeling these systems, especially in terms of model depth and model quality. Currently, mainly simple application-oriented models are used to describe the physical behavior of batteries. This book provides a step beyond of state-of-the-art modeling showing various different approaches covering following aspects: system safety, misuse behavior (crash, thermal runaway), battery state estimation and electrochemical modeling with the needed analysis (pre/post mortem). All this different approaches are developed to support the overall integration process from a multidisciplinary point-of-view and depict their further enhancements to this process.

We may be standing on the precipice of a revolution in propulsion not seen since the internal combustion engine replaced the horse and buggy. The anticipated proliferation of electric cars will influence the daily lives of motorists, the economies of different countries and regions, urban air quality and global climate change. If you want to understand how quickly the transition is likely to occur, and the factors that will influence the predictions of the pace of the transition, this book will be an illuminating read.
