The Ontario Public Service Employee Union (OPSEU) was an early target of Mike Harris' Common Sense Revolutionaries, a group in opposition to Ontario's collective bargaining agreements. This account of the 1996 OPSEU strike, by the vice-president of OPSEU's Region 5 from 1991-97, draws on insights from some 150 interviews with picket line captains, local executives, union leadership, and others, with many passages told in the strikers' own voices. Rapaport, a computer systems analyst, is president of OPSEU Local 503 and a member of the Executive of the Toronto and York Region Labor Council.

Based on the highly successful 3-volume reference Handbook of Computer Vision and Applications, this concise edition covers in a single volume the entire spectrum of computer vision ranging form the imaging process to high-end algorithms and applications. This book consists of three parts, including an application gallery. - Bridges the gap between theory and practical applications - Covers modern concepts in computer vision as well as modern developments in imaging sensor technology - Presents a unique interdisciplinary approach covering different areas of modern science
A collection of upwards of thirty thousand names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and other immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776: With a Statement of the Names of Ships, Whence They Sailed, and the Date of Their Arrival at Philadelphia.
For decades, Hermann Scheer was one of the world's leading proponents of renewable energy. In this, his last book before his death in 2010, he lays out his vision for a planet 100% powered by renewables and examines the fundamental ethical and economic imperatives for such a shift. And most importantly, he demonstrates why the time for this transition is now. In Scheer's view, talk of bridging technologies such as carbon capture and storage or nuclear energy even (and perhaps especially) by environmentalists is actively damaging the more the pressing agenda of the move to 100% renewable energy. Instead, he offers up examples of the technologies which are working (economically) today and details the policy and market conditions which would allow them to flourish.
The application of modern methods in numerical mathematics on problems in chemical engineering is essential for designing, analyzing and running chemical processes and even entire plants. Scientific Computing in Chemical Engineering II gives the state of the art from the point of view of numerical mathematicians as well as that of engineers. The present volume as part of a two-volume edition covers topics such as computer-aided process design, combustion and flame, image processing, optimization, control, and neural networks. The volume is aimed at scientists, practitioners and graduate students in chemical engineering, industrial engineering and numerical mathematics.
