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
Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis with Bayesian Networks
Although many Bayesian Network (BN) applications are now in everyday use, BNs have not yet achieved mainstream penetration. Focusing on practical real-world problem solving and model building, as opposed to algorithms and theory, Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis with Bayesian Networks explains how to incorporate knowledge with data to develop and use (Bayesian) causal models of risk that provide powerful insights and better decision making. Provides all tools necessary to build and run realistic Bayesian network models Supplies extensive example models based on real risk assessment problems in a wide range of application domains provided; for example, finance, safety, systems reliabilit...
Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis with Bayesian Networks
Since the first edition of this book published, Bayesian networks have become even more important for applications in a vast array of fields. This second edition includes new material on influence diagrams, learning from data, value of information, cybersecurity, debunking bad statistics, and much more. Focusing on practical real-world problem-solving and model building, as opposed to algorithms and theory, it explains how to incorporate knowledge with data to develop and use (Bayesian) causal models of risk that provide more powerful insights and better decision making than is possible from purely data-driven solutions. Features Provides all tools necessary to build and run realistic Bayesi...
Keep Going
Keep Going offers practical help to Christians wrestling with these questions. The book begins by recognizing that doubt is a normal part of Christian experience and that Christians often silently struggle with the basic elements of their faith. Neil Martin then goes on to provide solid answers to these questions, providing strugglers with biblical encouragement that, when considered prayerfully and thoughtfully, will help them to "keep going" in their Christian walk.

Done Beats Perfect
I have to be honest with you... I could sum this whole book up in 3 words. In fact, I already have. I wrote them on the front cover.But I am guessing that if you are reading this you want to know a bit more about what "Done Beats Perfect" actually means...First off, let me say that Done Beats Perfect does NOT mean any old junk will do. If you are reading the description for a book like this then I'm pretty sure you don't settle for any old junk anyway. You probably want to perform at your best.And maybe that's the problem.Perhaps you are stuck with the belief that your best is not good enough? That you can achieve more? That there is another level you need to reach?Or maybe you overthink EVE...
Sharia Law Or 'one Law for All?'
"Sharia law is a distillation of rulings that purport to represent the divine diktat in all worldly affairs. It provides injunctions for the conduct of criminal, public and even international law. Marriage and divorce, the custody of children, alimony, sexual impropriety and much else come within its remit Sharia courts are operating in Britain, handing down rulings that may be inappropriate to this country, being linked to elements in Islamic law that are seriously out of step with trends in Western legislation that derive from the values of the Enlightenment and are inherent in modern codes of human rights. Sharia rulings contain great potential for controversy and may involve acts contrary to UK legal norms and human rights legislation. Denis MacEoin argues against the wider use of sharia law."--Back cover.
Pomerol
Three years in the making, "Pomerol" is the definitive book on one of Bordeaux's least known appellations. Authored by Neal Martin, founder of Wine-Journal and presently a contributor to The Wine Advocate, it is a personal portrayal that seeks to convey the spirit of Pomerol both past and present. Within its pages readers can discover the real name of Jean-Pierre Moueix and what transpired on Jean-Claude Berrouet's first day working for him; the courage of Gabrielle de Sauvanelle during the Revolution; the untold story of "Domaine de Mautretat" and whose vineyards Alexendre Thienpont once mistakenly picked. The book features a detailed analysis of the history and viticulture of Pomerol, plus a new perspective on its terroir; forty-three in-depth profiles of Pomerol estates with a wealth of information hitherto unpublished; interviews with all the major proprietors and winemakers including amongst others: Jean-Claude Berrouet, Denis Durantou, Jacques Guinaudeau, Christian Moueix, Michel Rolland and Alexandre Thienpont; vertical tastings conducted especially for this book; a 100-page "A-Z of Pomerol" detailing almost 400 crus, past and present; and more.

Fonthill Recovered
Fonthill, in Wiltshire, is traditionally associated with the writer and collector William Beckford who built his Gothic fantasy house called Fonthill Abbey at the end of the eighteenth century. The collapse of the Abbey’s tower in 1825 transformed the name Fonthill into a symbol for overarching ambition and folly, a sublime ruin. Fonthill is, however, much more than the story of one man’s excesses. Beckford’s Abbey is only one of several important houses to be built on the estate since the early sixteenth century, all of them eventually consumed by fire or deliberately demolished, and all of them oddly forgotten by historians. Little now remains: a tower, a stable block, a kitchen rang...
