  A Road Running Southward -...

  Dawn Chapman

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches.Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature.A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  Is Birdsong Music? - Outback...

  “A ground-breaking study of the songs of the pied butcherbird . . . intellectually engaging and also very entertaining as a fieldwork memoir.” —The Music Trust 
   
  How and when does music become possible? Is it a matter of biology, or culture, or an interaction between the two? Revolutionizing the way we think about the core values of music and human exceptionalism, Hollis Taylor takes us on an outback road trip to meet the Australian pied butcherbird. Recognized for their distinct timbre, calls, and songs, both sexes of this songbird sing in duos, trios, and even larger choirs, transforming their flute-like songs annually. 
   
  While birdsong has long inspired artists, writers, musicians, and philosophers, and enthralled listeners from all walks of life, researchers from the sciences have dominated its study. As a field musicologist, Taylor spends months each year in the Australian outback recording the songs of the pied butcherbird and chronicling their musical activities. She argues persuasively in these pages that their inventiveness in song surpasses biological necessity, compelling us to question the foundations of music and confront the remarkably entangled relationship between human and animal worlds. 
   
  Equal parts nature essay, memoir, and scholarship, Is Birdsong Music? offers vivid portraits of the extreme locations where these avian choristers are found, quirky stories from the field, and an in-depth exploration of the vocalizations of the pied butcherbird. 
   
  “Hollis Taylor has given us one of the most serious books ever written on animal music. Is Birdsong Music? is so engaging that all who care about humanity’s place on Earth should read it. We are certainly not the only musicians on this planet.” —David Rothenberg, author of Why Birds Sing

  Demands on a primary packaging material are not easy to meet these days. Increasingly, intense optical inspection, zero defect programs, and higher regulatory specifications require that drug packaging materials can no longer be taken for granted. Bringing us to the material "glass": What is glass anyway? How does it react with my drugs? Can I freeze it? Why is it breaking? Why is my drug being adsorbed to it? Why is this over 100-year-old borosilicate glass still the gold standard? If you have asked yourself these or other glass-related questions, this book is the right choice for you. It will guide you through the world of glass in a comprehensible and pharma-focused manner. Furthermore, this guide will keep you well-covered with the fundamentals on your first voyage into the world of glass.
  
  Die Anforderungen an Primaerpackmaterialien sind heutzutage nicht leicht zu erfuellen. Intensive optische Pruefungen, Null-Fehler-Programme und strengere Behoerdenanforderungen haben dazu gefuehrt, dass Hersteller ein erhoehtes Augenmerk auf Packmittel fuer Medikamente richten muessen. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel den Werkstoff Glas: Was ist Glas ueberhaupt? Wie reagiert es mit meinen Arzneimitteln? Kann ich es einfrieren? Warum geht es kaputt? Warum lagert sich mein Medikament auf der Glasoberflaeche an? Warum ist Borosilikat-Glas, das es schon seit über 100 Jahren gibt, immer noch der Goldstandard? Wenn Sie sich diese oder andere Fragen rund um Glas schon einmal gestellt haben, ist dieses Buch das richtige fuer Sie. Es wird Sie umfassend und aus dem pharmazeutischen Blickwinkel durch die Welt des Glases fuehren. Gleichzeitig wird dieses Handbuch Sie auf Ihrer ersten Reise in die Welt des Glases sicher geleiten und Ihnen alle Grundbegriffe erlaeutern.

Circuit simulation and practical laboratories are utilised to reinforce concepts.
  
  The book is divided to different learning outcomes
  
  • CLO 1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems.
  • CLO 2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment.
  
  • CLO 3- Outline standard methods for power distribution to consumer installations.
  
  • CLO 4- Apply short-circuit and over-load protection principles for electrical installations
  
  a) CLO1- Discuss the fundamental concepts related to electrical distribution systems.
  
  • Principle of operation of transformers.
  • Explain the role of the distribution system in a power system, common distribution system layouts, and common voltages, voltage drops and regulation levels from transmission to distribution.
  
  • Discuss demand, power quality issues, calculate factors affecting design, and interpret the load curve profile for load demand.
  
  • Explain how tariff is calculated and charged consumers
  
  b) CLO2- Explain the role of distribution substations and related equipment.
