"Ever since the rise of science and the scientific method in the seventeenth century, we have rejected mythology as the product of superstitious and primitive minds. Only now are we coming to a fuller appreciation of the nature and role of myth in human history. In these five lectures origsinally prepared for the CBC, Claude Levi-Strauss, one of the world's greatest living thinkers, offers the insights of a lifetime spent interpreting myths and trying ot discover their significance for human understanding. Combining history, anthropology, and philosophy, this book provides a broad and penetrating perspective on the contemporary western world." Contents include: The Meeting of Myth and Science / 'Primitive' Thinking and the 'Civilized' Mind / Harelips and Twins: The Splitting of a Myth / When Myth Becomes History / Myth and Music.

Among the various mechanical devices built to produce power for industrial and societal needs, gas turbines offer a number of significant advantages. The sliding components in reciprocating engines cause considerable vibrations. Hydroelectric power from turbines using water is a great resource, but potential sites are limited. Steam power plants require expensive steam generating equipment of large bulk, and installation may stretch over lengthy time periods. In contrast, gas turbines operate smoothly with low vibrations, are compact in size, can be started rapidly from rest and may be installed fairly quickly. Gas turbine offer even greater benefits in the aviation arena. Turbojet and multi-rotor turbofan engines have no competition for powering larger aircrafts at faster speeds. Applications in other fields abound. An outstanding example is the aero-derivative gas turbines on offshore oil platforms, where their lighter weight, smaller footprint and ability to burn many different types of fuel make it a clear choice. This book is written to meet the needs of students in engineering colleges and practicing engineers. The material has been specifically tailored for college undergraduate and graduate level design engineering of rotating machine courses. In keeping with its mostly introductory nature, the primary focus is on thermodynamic cycle design and practical mechanical design features. Where possible, electronic spreadsheet type of calculations is used in example problems to calculate flow characteristics and related cycle design parameters. The book focuses on: Fuel consumption, power output and exhaust gas emissions State-of-the-art in the thermal and fluid flow technologies for design of single and multi-rotor gas turbines Methods to enhance performance through creative component designs Analyze complex problems ranging from compressor stall to optimizing operation from partial to full load Printed Pages: 552., New Age International (P) Limited, 2010, 6, APH Publishing Corporation, 2009. First edition. Hardcover. New. The Art of Teaching Mathematics lies in the ability of the instructor to motivate and inspire individuals to look beyond the numbers and understand the concepts. This book is designed to revive this art, focusing more on the aspects of learning the ideas behind the math rather than the sheer mechanics of Mathematical operation. This text address the art of teaching mathematics while also providing specific Aids and activities in arithmetic, geometry, Algebra and Calculus and Statistics for use in the classroom. The authors pay close attention to the role, importance, methods and techniques of motivation. They present ideas that will generate attention, interest and surprise among students and will thus Foster Creative thinking. The material in the text is based on talks given by the authors at the Professional meetings as well as the actual application of their ideas in undergraduate and graduate Classes they taught. Additionally, many laboratory and Discovery activities have been used by authors in teaching junior and senior high School math classes.

The Art of Agile Development contains practical, down-to-earth guidance for anyone involved in or considering the agile method -- and Extreme Programming in particular -- to build reliable software. Agile development methods have become increasingly popular because too many software projects have failed to meet expected release dates, deliver the required features, or to match projected costs. This book provides no-nonsense advice on agile planning, development, delivery, and management taken from the authors` many years of experience. While plenty of books address the what and why of agile development, very few offer developers, managers, stakeholders and users the information they can apply directly. The Art of Agile Development provides a gestalt view of the agile development process that serves as a comprehensive introduction for non-technical readers, along with hands-on technical practices for programmers and developers. The book also tackles the people aspect of Extreme Programming. Other books focus solely on the process; this book deals with the need for face-to-face interaction, which is the most difficult aspect of working in an agile development. You`ll find clear answers to questions such as: How can we adopt agile development? Do we really need to pair program? What metrics should we report? What if I can`t get my customer to participate? How much documentation should we write? When do we design and architect? As a non-developer, how should I work with my agile team? Where is my product roadmap? How does QA fit in? The book teaches you how to adopt XP practices, describes each practice in detail, then discusses principles that will allow you to modify XP and create your own agile method. In particular, this book tackles the difficult aspects of agile development: the need for cooperation and trust among team members. Whether you`re currently part of an agile team, working with an agile team, or interested in agile development, this book provides the practical tips you need to start practicing agile development. As your experience grows, the book will grow with you, providing exercises and information that will teach you first to understand the rules of agile development, break them, and ultimately abandon rules altogether as you master the art of agile development. "Jim Shore and Shane Warden expertly explain the practices and benefits of Extreme Programming. They offer advice from their real-world experiences in leading teams. They answer questions about the practices and show contraindications - ways that a practice may be mis-applied. They offer alternatives you can try if there are impediments to applying a practice, such as the lack of an on-site customer. --Ken Pugh, Author of Jolt Award Winner, Prefactoring "I will leave a copy of this book with every team I visit." --Brian Marick, Exampler Consulting Printed Pages: 446., Shroff Publishers/O`Reilly, 2007, 6, Global Vision Publishing House, 2011.

Imprinting fascinated Jean Dubuffet for forty years and it is indissolubly a part of his creative oeuvre. Throughout his life, in certain intense and active phases, he would not cease to explore the range of the different techniques of printing and most of all that of lithography, interpreting and inventing new methods in order to better meet his needs. According to a set of associations and the logic distinctive of this artist, each discovery led him directly to a rich field of developments into which he was to rush with an unvarying sense of wonder, ignoring the limits of these new fields of investigations., Pera Museum, 2005, 6, Delmar/Cengage Learning India, 2008. 5th or later edition.

The Present title `Fossils` has been carefully organized and clearly written for the undergraduate students however, it would also supplement the students of postgraduate classes. It has been written in a simple Language and in a straight forward manner. Our approach throughout is critical and evaluative, neither old nor new Theories are taken trust but are examined rigorously and often critical, the students should be aware of what materials is Sound and what untested or controversial. Those principles which survive such analysis have put together in a new and current Synthesis of the ""state of the art."" It is sincerely felt that this title will adequately meet the long felt need of the students for a simple and up-to-date book and hope that the method of presentation will be liked and found beneficial.
