“All of the essential knowledge for completing a successful rammed earth project. Written by a geo-technical engineer with experience ramming earth.” —Kelly Hart, author, Essential Earthbag Construction Everything you need to know to build with rammed earth in warm and cold climates. Rammed earth—sand, gravel, and clay or lime/cement binder packed into forms—is a low-energy, high-performance building method, yielding beautiful, sustainable results. It’s thermally stable and can be insulated, can actively modulate humidity, provides a healthy indoor environment, and allows site materials to be used for major structural and building envelope elements.Essential Rammed Earth Construction covers design, building science, tools, and step-by-step building methods for any climate, with a special emphasis on building in cold climates of the northern US, Canada, and northern Europe. Coverage includes:  Overview of earthen building  Appropriate use of rammed earth walls  Stabilized versus raw rammed earth  Design considerations, including structural, insulation, and building envelope details  Special considerations for cold and freeze-thaw climates  Construction drawings, with step-by-step building instructions  Tools and labor covering industrial methods, low-tech techniques, formwork options, mix design, budgets, and schedules  Codes, inspections, and permits.  This guide is an essential resource for experienced builders, DIY home owners, designers, engineers, and architects. “A much-needed and science-based update to a North American audience of designers, engineers and builders.” —Bruce King. P.E., author, The New Carbon Architecture “ A great book for anyone who wants to deepen their technical knowledge of rammed earth walls systems. It’s very helpful to have a book on rammed earth that is more focused on engineered rammed earth walls for cold climates.” —Clifton Schooley, Clifton Schooley & Associates, Rammed Earth Designers and Builders

    A look at the American health care system through analysis of consumer and provider behavior. 
     
    The health care industry in the US is peculiar. We spend close to 18% of our GDP on health care, yet other countries get better results—and we don’t know why. To date, we still lack widely accepted answers to simple questions, such as “Would requiring everyone to buy health insurance make us better off?” Drawing on behavioral economics as an alternative to the standard tools of health economics, author Douglas E. Hough seeks to diagnose the ills of health care today more clearly. 
     
    A behavioral perspective makes sense of key contradictions—from the seemingly irrational choices that we sometimes make as patients, to the incongruous behavior of physicians, to the morass of the long-lived debate surrounding reform. With the new health care law in effect, it is more important than ever that consumers, health care industry leaders, and the policymakers who are governing change reckon with the power and sources of our behavior when it comes to health. 
     
    Praise for Irrationality in Health Care 
     
    “Hough does an extraordinary job of distilling the literature and providing key insights to help us understand how health care consumers and providers really behave, and how government can formulate better policy. A must-read for anyone interested in the burgeoning field of behavioral economics and age-old questions in health care.” —Thomas Rice, Distinguished Professor, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health 
     
    “Hough explains and applies the emerging field of behavioral economics to patient and physician decision making, providing a rationale for seemingly irrational behavior, and its particular usefulness for designing health policies.” —Paul J. Feldstein, University of California, Irvine 
     
    “Balancing rigor and policy relevance, Hough shows the application of behavioral economics to health policy in a most compelling way. I liked this book so much, I wish I had written it!” —Richard Scheffler, University of California, Berkeley

    When you take a good, hard look at who (or what) is controlling  your biggest investments, you may just find it's not you.  In some cases, it may be that no one is getting the job  done and, in other instances, you may find that outside forces are  in control: your employer or the government. Who is  contributing and managing your retirement account? Who is handling  your mortgage? Veteran financial journalists Ali Velshi and  Christine Romans tackle every money issue today,  from homes and debt to education and employment, and along the way  they place the ownership back in our own hands, empowering the  reader with prescriptive, how-to information to come up on top. In  the education chapter, the authors argue that the appropriate  amount of student debt to amass should be equivalent to what you  would earn in the first year working in your chosen field. If it's  above that projected earning level, you should seriously  re-consider either going to school or your selected career  path. In the housing chapters, the authors make the case that now  is the time to buy (and no one is telling you this!) because of  record low mortgage rates and stellar home prices.

    What are Cryptozoological animals? They are very rare animals which might even be imaginary or fantastical. 
    In this book we examine a group of these top cryptids which may or may not be real. The history and observations of these animals comprise each chapter and an evaluation of the evidence for their existence is provided at the end of each chapter. 
    Are all of these sightings fantasy or do these animals really exist? And how can they hide from most of us who have actively looked for them in the past? 
    We also provide available pictures, videos, and witness testimonies about these Cryptids. 
    You really should enjoy reading this book and hopefully you will have enough information to make your own decision.
