Skeletal Tissue Mechanics
This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological properties of skeletal tissue or require mathematics beyond calculus. Time is taken to introduce basic mechanical and biological concepts, and the approaches used for some of the engineering analyses are purposefully limited. The book is an effective bridge between engineering, veterinary, biological and medical disciplines and will be welcomed by students and researchers in biomechanics, orthopedics, physical anthropology, zoology and veterinary science. This book also: Maximizes reader insights into the mechanical properties of bone, fatigue and fracture resistance of bone and mechanical adaptability of the skeleton Illustrates synovial joint mechanics and mechanical properties of ligaments and tendons in an easy-to-understand way Provides exercises at the end of each chapter
Old Days, Old Ways
Olive Sharkey is the daughter of farmers in the midlands of Ireland. 'I belong to a family which was the last in our district to relinquish the old ways on the land and in the home,' she says. Her research brought her to folk museums throughout Ireland and 'into the homes of fascinating elderly folk with surprisingly clear memories.' The daily and seasonal rhythms of life and work 'in the ould days' is recaptured, from building the house and turning the sod for a new crop, to saving the hay and burying the dead.
Guideless the Rivers’ Course
Stuart Walker Purloin was given the name Margarite Ecclesia at birth. Never comfortable in a woman’s body, in early adulthood, Margarite completes transgender surgery in Holland after living through the hell of a small, southern town as a “transvestite.” Returning to Margarite’s hometown as Stuart, they are immediately targeted as a convenient solution to a murder case and sent to a maximum-security prison in Raiford, Florida; he is inmate 123047. The journey through this hell to Stuart is much like Dante’s journey through the inferno. During a life in the hell of bigotry and imprisonment, three Virgil-like saviors appear unexpectedly to guide Margarite, and then Stuart, through a modern inferno. A novel, Guideless the Rivers’ Course, tells a story of self-exploration, resolution, and redemption from the vagaries of prison for an inmate who used to be a woman, unexpected salvation for a good man who lived inside a good woman, and ultimately, the story of a town where ghosts emerge to protect one of its own.
The Art of Persuasive Influence
Influence may be a synonym for leadership, but it is not merely confined to formal leadership roles in the workplace. As this book will articulate, influence occurs in families, with customers, with neighbours, on the sports field with fellow players and the opposition and even the referee or umpire. In fact, influence is seen at its clearest when it occurs for the benefit of both parties without any positional authority in the relationship. This book outlines the why, what and how, of influencing others in an easy to read format with numerous real life stories to illustrate. If you lead others in any capacity then you are going to greatly benefit from reading this book. "In "The Art of Pers...

Images of Justice
In a display case at the entrance to the Yellowknife courthouse are a collection of fourteen Inuit carvings that represent landmark cases in the legal history of the Northwest Territories. These cases, which came to trial between 1955 and 1970, and the carvings that represent them illuminate a pivotal period of social change when the Inuit camp system was eroding and age-old practices and traditions were being called into question. Dorothy Harley Eber tells the stories behind the carvings and provides fascinating insights into the unique situations that developed as the Inuit came in contact with Canada's justice system.
