Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi, was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. Gandhi was the pioneer of Satyagraha - resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, for expanding women’s rights, for building religious and ethnic amity, for ending untouchability, for increasing economic self-reliance, but above all for achieving the independence of India from foreign domination. He was imprisoned for many years, on numerous occasions, in both South Africa and India and he undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and social protest. He was assassinated in 1948.

“This is the seventeenth edition of a unique general urology book that can be used by medical students for basic information, but also has enough detail to make it an excellent resource for first and second year urology residents….This is an excellent book due to its timeliness with new material, user friendly style, and the unique way it accommodates medical students, urology residents, and general medicine physicians who have a peripheral interest in urology issues.

The purpose of this manual is to provide a basic, practical, and safe exercise guide designed to be applied to the on-duty exercise program with the equipment available at each site. It attempts to accommodate the goals of a wide variety of firefighters: those in need of reconditioning, average firefighters, high-fit athletes, young, older, male and female. It is expected that many individuals will request more specific information on their exercise program. When this is the case, employees should contact their peer fitness trainer or send an e-mail message to the Wellness/Fitness Exercise Physiologist (Groupwise e-mail: Fitness).

For firefighters, maintaining a high level of functional physical fitness is a critical necessity. Creating a work environment that is conducive to achieving and maintaining high levels of fitness and health is one of the major goals for all departments participating in the IAFF/IAFC Wellness/Fitness Initiative. The County of Los Angeles Fire Department is at the forefront in demonstrating its commitment to meeting this goal with a comprehensive package of resources. Annual medical exams, which include several fitness components, were initiated on March 1, 2000.

The Wellness/Fitness staff has worked closely with each of the contracted medical facilities to reiterate our emphasis in encouraging an aggressive pursuit of high fitness levels and healthy lifestyles. New exercise equipment has been delivered to all administrative sites with instructional materials. Peer fitness trainers will soon be available to provide assistance and guidance for all fitness related questions. And of course, on-duty exercise time is provided every shift. Hopefully, all employees will take full advantage of these resources.

Product Description

Microsoft Silverlight 2 is a new development platform designed to make the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) far easier than has previously been possible. Pro Silverlight for the Enterprise addresses the question of how you can bring Silverlight 2 to your company to provide rich Internet experiences that will interface cleanly with your existing application architecture.

The book begins with a clear discussion of why Silverlight is such a good choice for developing RIAs and the implications that this has for your development decisions. The options available will be demonstrated by constructing a simple web–based training portal for a fictional enterprise, which will be extended and altered to demonstrate the techniques and methods that you have available to you. This includes accessing data using WCF and LINQ, and considering how best to deploy your finished Silverlight application when it is complete. The book also discusses the future of Silverlight for Mobile and how to plan for its release.

An essential boat maintenance manual Aug 27, 2009
The second edition of This Old Boat is a more professional production than the first edition. Not that the first edition was bad, on the contrary, it was a good resource, but it had a somewhat hand-made feel about it. The diagrams were freehand sketches and a lot of the information lacked depth. Although it was always a good place to start, it was usually necessary to turn to other reference works (such as Calder’s “Boatowner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual” or Spurr’s “Guide to Upgrading Your Cruising Sailboat”) for precise information about how to carry out a certain repair or improvement. However, what it lacked in depth of information it more than made up for with its clear explanations of the “big picture” and Casey’s ability to impart a sense of motivation.

This new edition improves on the first by being a good deal larger than the first edition, having information that is more in-depth, and illustrations that are much improved. It is now closer in “feel” to Calder’s Boatowner’s Manual. It also covers a lot of the information contained in Casey’s several short sailboat maintenance handbooks, and to an extent it updates and replaces them. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that this is the only book by Casey that you now need to own in order to have all of the information he has previously published, but it is close.

This is an excellent resource for someone hoping to renew/renovate an old boat, especially a sailboat!

Comprehensive boat owners repair manual Jul 09, 2009
Wish I had this updated edition before starting my refit–this would have replaced many other individual texts and lots of trial and error work. Simple building-block projects in each section demystify boat construction and accurately impress the simplicity of seemingly complex improvements.

You, yes even you, can actually do many of the things listed in this book if you have the requisite patience. Would definately buy again, great reference even if you elect not to do repairs and improvements yourself so you can understand what your yard is charging for…

The kindle price has got to be a mistake… Jun 26, 2009
OK I have a few of don caseys books, including the original this old boat. Wonderful book, 5 stars.
But to charge 29.67 for the kindle edition makes me wonder who is smoking what. There is no way, other than the desire for greedy profits, that a electronic version of a book should cost almost as much as a hard cover version with its glossy photos and such. No. So why I would like to have this copy, there is no way I would pay that much for it. And since I love the idea of what the electronic book brings to me it is just to bad someone whats to just make a large killing.
